My Take On This Whole FFXIII Scandal

by kenzo287

First off, regrading the change from PS3 only to both 360 and PS3, I am appalled. Not at Square Enix , no at the fanboys. I just can't imagine that the fans are so greedy that they wouldn't want to share a great game like Final Fantasy XIII with as many people as possible.

First off, regrading the change from PS3 only to both 360 and PS3, I am appalled. Not at Square Enix, no at the fanboys. I just can't imagine that the fans are so greedy that they wouldn't want to share a great game like Final Fantasy XIII with as many people as possible. Now it reminds me of the rounds of online fights I had with several Sony fans a few years back where they acted like they were better than me because I had a GameCube and was excited for Wii. That was a fun week when they called it Wii...anyways... they always act like they're better than others just because the own a PlayStation 2. Now those same fans who got a PlayStation 3 are going nuts because their "almighty king of consoles" had one of its top games stoop down to some level of damnation caused by the Xbox 360. Exhibit A is brought to you from mitu123 who posted this video on his blog and it made me want to type this one:

  








Now first off this guy is a genuine ass. I don't like to swear, ask any of my friends, but there is no other word that can describe him. He says that Square betrayed their fans and that nobody will buy this game because of it. Well if they don't buy the game then why would Square bother putting it on the PS3 at all? What about Final Fantasy XIV? If they don't buy it then they aren't gonna get it. Now there are people like me who have all three consoles or plan to get all three (I'm in the latter) and have made the decision to buy the PS3 version. I mean the PS3 version has all these things that the Xbox 360 version just can't do. For example: do you think that all cutscenes in the 360 version are gonna be done in real time? I'd doubt it. They'll probably be pre-rendered. The Blu-Ray media will allow the game to fit on one convenient disc as opposed to the DVD format that has much less space. This means that the 360 version will be more compressed and could very well be on two or more discs. Remember Lost Odyssey? It was on four discs and Final Fantasy XIII looks to head down the same path. Now I could go on about how I think these are just sour FFVII fans who are mad about the tech demo back in 2005 that never came to be but then I would start sounding like the ass. So PS3 owners just buy your game. It's not like it's gonna suffer from being ported to the 360 because they're just getting a port of your version. I wanna know if there is gonna be a PC verison. The guy from Square wasn't too clear on that. But he did say something along the lines of PS3 game first, then PC, then 360 so I think that if a PC version is definitely in the works I'd consider that since the PC still can do more than the PS3 but that's me and I'll leave you guys to decide what version if any to get. Thanks for listening I'll talk to you guys later. No random YouTube video today cause I think I made you suffer enough with that guys adolescent voice.
