I haven't heard that before either Zack.

AFAIK, FF13 on 360 will have more disks, but will not be getting Versus-13 (PS3 exclusive).

Versus-13 is by far the more anticipated of the Final Fantasy 13's, and I do not need any sources to tell me that.
The fact that the Kingdom Hearts team is developing it with the Advent Children and DOC team should be explanatory enough.
This game will be truly epic.

Have you seen the original 8 minute trailer of Versus-13?
 
I'm really looking forward to Versus 13, it looks awesome from what I've seen.

Did they release new footage at this years E3 or was it a no-show?
 
Yeah, I haven't heard that either - could just be a rumor based on the reduced Versus 13 coverage. And I wonder why the PS3 exclusivity only on Versus. I haven't actually been following it in any detail, nor have I really been following 13, though. I like FF releases to kind of sneak up on me. :)
 
13 itself was originally PS3 exclusive, it was only around November last year SE decided it was multi platform, but they kept Versus PS3 exclusive. I don't know why.

Perhaps a deal was made with Sony? You know - "Yeah, we'll let you release Final Fantasy 13 on a rival platform as long as the other one remains exclusive" or something. (This is obviously pure speculation on my part). Or perhaps Versus 13 is so different it would be much more difficult to port? Who knows.
 
The deal wasn't made with Sony, but with Microsoft.
Both FF13 and Versus13 were originally intended for PS3, but remember that the entire purpose of the new "White Engine" (as it was called) was to allow Final Fantasy games to be multi-platform, so I dont believe FF13 was ever an "exclusive" to begin with, regardless to what they may have claimed.

Versus-13 is probably based on the Kingdom-Hearts/Crises-Core/DoC tech, coming from a PS2 foundation, so was destined for PS3 exclusivity. Maybe the foundations for a new PS3 Kingdom Hearts sometime after the completion of V13.

Sadly it was a no-show at E3, so were SquareEnix actually, probably because of the swine-flu scare.
They had some staff over with the 360 FF13 demo footage and the new PS3 demo featuring summons (and the FF14 trailer), as far as I can remember.

MrAdults, I also like Final Fantasy's to sneak up on me, but when I have waited 3+ years to even hear their footsteps behind me, I kindof get bored waiting and begin looking for them myself.  :wink:

They have said that a lot of neat features and ideas which were intended for FF12 but never made it in the final, like tactical airship battles the most intriguing, may find their way into FF13.
Versus13 and FF14 began had began production before FF13 (due to additional time required on FF13's new Engine development), immedietly after FF12

There is so much more that we dont know about the development of these recent Final Fantasy's, but all this awkwardness can only be attributed to SquareEnix and their money-hungry ways...

But no matter, as long as they give me an EPIC Final Fantasy (not just a GOOD one) then I wont complain how long they take.  :-D
 
I hope if it goes online people won't be abusing the most powerful spells/summons/attacks/whatever it is they will use in FF XIV...
 
I wonder why people are complaining about the new gameplay FF13 has to offer when it is very reminiscent of another awesome game called CHRONO TRIGGER.

Which also, would be nice to have a remake XD

I think that people are complaining because it seemed at the time (dunno whether things have changed, haven't been keeping up with the news lately) that FF13's gameplay would be more like that of F12.

Anyway, if it is like Chrono Trigger, that would be awesome; it's my second favourite game of all time (or third, depending on how I feel about MGS).

Sadly, there was going to be a fan remake, but we all know what happened to that.
 
I've actually been wondering for a while how they managed to pull that off in the first place?

I mean it looked awesome. Did they use a specific game engine for it or something?
