Its been announced at E3. lmao. So many ppl said it would never come to this. So many ppl were like blah blah blah the PS still has blah. And now this. Its like a knife in the heart. I mean, im not going to buy it cause FFXII was perfect and this one looks retarded but still, this is such great news. Still waiting on that MGS4 port though....

*Ponders on how much Microsoft Paid for it.

EDIT: IT COULD Mean it comes to the 360

Fabula Nova Crystallis Final Fantasy XIII is a collective of projects that has never been declared exclusive to one platform.

This dosent Say Xbox360 but it could mean somthing else like the WII or DS

couldnt have said it any better.
i didnt even see this coming. i mean the next major FF not exclusive to sony on launch? the ps3 is going even more down the drain. this just convinces me more to get a 360...but i still want versus13

I didn't care that Playstation had FF anyway...I don't like the series, atleast the first ones were turnbased..Dunno how's that with the newer ones lolz..

i was pretty tick off when i was watching that(E3 Preview) and every other word was "xbox exclusive", thats so dumb i don't want an xbox. RROD FTL

I hate the FF games, but I might buy it anyways just to spite sony fanboys.

Not going to effect them too much. From what has been said it is only going to be released in N.A., and I think Euro. That means it's still exclusive to Playstation in Japan, which will move tons of consoles for Sony. Plus the fact PS3 still has Versus is good.

i read like... 2 years ago, maybe more that Microsoft was buying final fantasy. I kinda forgot that till i read xemmas's post.

Everyone who wants a PS3 in Japan already has one. Ppl were buying the in Japan at launch in preperation for this game. I think after the MGS4 rush everyone who really wanted to own a PS3 already owns one so its not going to move anything, especially in Japan.

Haha, my friends were telling me off for missing out on FF but nao... haha.

Ok then everyone who wants Gears 2, and Fable 2 already have 360's also. I guess systems will stop selling out of no where because, someone who wanted FFXIII already has the console. Thus no one will buy a console the day FF comes out.

nt @ argumentation, sadly that doesn't hold up.

I don't see how XemnasXD argument holds up. If Final Fantasy X sold around 2mil+ in Japan, and the PS3 so far only selling around 2.5 million in Japan so far. I doubt that all the 2.5 million people in Japan are the only fans of FF games. Trust me on this, the sales of the PS3 will increase by 4X the normal weekly sales. FFXIII will do nothing at all in console sales seeing how Gears 2 will had already been released.

By the way do you think Sony would just let SE put FFXIII on 360 with out making a deal with them. You do know Sony owns some shares in SE. Wait tomorrow I can see a big announcement coming from SE. But who really cares I am much more hyped for Team ICO's new game and Gow3, and hopefully Twisted Metal announcement.

Also how do you feel about the casualness that is becoming Xbox 360? It's starting to look like the Wii lol.

does this mean FFXIII won't come out on PS3 at all?

No it's coming out world wide for PS3. It only coming to pal and N.A. for 360.

ok, phew. i'm looking forward to the new battle system, looks sick.

...the xbox is doing fine, gears of war does not seem casual, its got great third party and first party support, with SE behind it, it can only do better...TBH i stopped reading when it was obvious you were a fanboy going off on a tangent....

just take the news and either ignore it or cry about it in a corner, but those are really your only options cause we all know this was a good move and huge blow to sony and i can almost guarantee sales in japan dramatically rise on FFXIII's release, i stand by what i said earlier....

I pretty much sat there with my jaw dropped when I heard about FF on 360.

I own a PS3. And for a second, just a second, PS3 was rising from the ashes.

Unless Sony announces Halo 4 on PS3 then I think we're pretty much effed up the ass.

I'm not cheering here. Yet. I'll just wait and see if the rumours prove true.

But IF it's really coming to the 360, big LOL from my side.
I saw the XIII trailer before the new consoles came out (Or after? Can't remember.), and I was like "OMG I'm getting a PS3 for this game!"
When I heard about the price of the PS3, I abandoned the idea. A month ago I got an Xbox360.

I wouldn't mind at all if it'd be for the 360 too.

Funny how you call me a fanboy. Yet you think that FFXIII will be the end of PS3, and how it will not ship console for PS3 in Japan. Gears might not be casual but if you watched E3 you would of saw how Casual 360 is becoming it's pretty sad. People call PS3 an entertainment system, and not a console, well look at the 360. Half the Showcase was them showing live arcade games, and how you can watch videos on live. 360 has if anything the least first party support. Nintendo has the most then Playstation. Yes sales in japan dramatically rise on FFXIII's released for Playstation see as it is the only system that has FFXIII in Japan. Lol at the Microsoft employee saying 360 will out sell PS3 this Gen. You honestly think Sony would let SE put FFXIII on 360 with out making any deal with them. Watch out as I said tomorrow. *COUGH*FF VII Remake or KH3*COUGH*

This was an emergency move from Microsoft because they knew it was their last hope. The 360 had one last hope before death, and that was GoW2. The problem is that the PS3 has so much still coming out including Resistance 2, Killzone 2, Gran Turismo 5, Farcry 2, and FFXIII. Obviously Microsoft paniced, and tried to figure out what they could do to prevent that from happening. They looked at the list and decided as to which title would be the most popular/anticipated, and made the cooresponding company an extremely large offer. That brings us to the current situation at hand. While I think it's the stupidest thing ever, I expected it 100%.

oh yes, you alone saw it coming as you watched MS panic from your bedroom window thinking. "Ha-ha-ha ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, MS will most definitely capture the Final Fantasy franchise this year.

also i love how all the prequels of the games you mentioned haven't outsold Halo 3, i also love how 3 of them are first person shooters...and MS is afraid of these games because? lol. From Launch the PS3 has had three BIG talked about titles, titles that sell systems, not run-of the-mill FPS, not that halo was good, but i've never heard anyone say, I need a PS3 so i can play Killzone 2....Those titles btw are FFXIII, Gran Turismo 5, and MBS4. MGS4 came and went, FFXIII is going to the 360, all they have left is Gran Turismo 5.

Ppl seem to think MS went running to square but what Publisher nowadays has exclusive contracts. Sega, Capcom, Namco, Rockstar, all these big companies have gotten out of the habit of boxing themselves into a tiny corner because no one knew who was going to win this console war, no one expected the Wii to sell so much, or the PS3 to have such a failure of a launch(stfu sony even said it was a bad launch). Theres a reason why Bungie broke with MS, same reason why RE5 is coming to the 360 too, same reason why FFXIII is coming now....its the guarantee of more money. It was a good move by Square, MS didn't buy out Capcom for RE5, they couldn't hold onto their best selling franchise, but for some reason PS3 ppl think the only way this was possible is if MS paid far out the ass....has nothing to do with the way the console has been selling compared to the other 2 and the recent tend of Sony exclusives becoming multiplatform titles.....gimme a break.

btw that was a Mandark laugh in case you didn't get it...

Have my babies, Xemnas.

I actually preferred the turnbased system that was FF. No idea why, I guess it gave uniqueness comparing to the usual "run in and kill everything as fast as possible" approach. I liked been able to strategize and plan my attacks :S

I'll still get a Ps3 just to say I have one.

Well I was only considering getting a ps3 for this game and since it's now coming to 360
I can save myself 500 euro and upgrade my pc or buy a hd tv or something.

I would have never expected this, it just came out of the blue... no complaints here though

So silly. It's also for the PS3. Look at "Platforms" = Ps3 and XB360..

nvm.....i read it wrong. But still....sweet trailer. ;d

Anyhoo, E3 PS3 is starting.

That M.A.G trailer was amazing.

256 online organized multiplayer wars = epic. It's one of those things where when you see it put in action you can't help but get goosebumps and a boner.

And now we can rent and buy movies straight from the Playstation store. $2.99 ain't even that bad for a rental too.
