Motomu Toriyama of Square Enix has confirmed that Final Fantasy XIII will not be a Playstation 3 exclusive and that other consoles will be receiving the game as well. With two games already for the Playstation 3, and one mobile game, this could be a big loss for Sony, coupled with the reluctance of some to pay for the Playstation 3’s already large pricetag.
I think this really sux cause xbox has Halo, wii has Zelda, Plastation had final fantasy... now what does playstation have?
Just wanted to let finalfantasy gamers know if they dont already know.
Do you think this is a bad thing?
if so feel free to post your thoughts and conserns.
Thank you for your time and patients.
I guess it means it's bad for Sony, good for Final Fantasy. But Sony is riddled with internal problems anyway so it's hard to imagine this bodes that badly for them. And I didn't know FF fans needed to have their beloved franchise associated with Playstation only. But it's funny because FF games are the only Playstation games I'm largely aware of. So maybe it would actually be good for PS3 to break its monopoly on FF and allow the mainstream spotlight to be thrown on some of their other quality games. Or maybe my argument is too loosely thrown together, I don't know.
Meh, the fact remains that the majority of Japanese RPG's are going to stick to the PS3. Final Fantasy has gotten too large a reputation to stay with just one platform. I'm personally not too worried about it, I'll just bide my time and wait to see if something comes along that makes me want to purchase a PS3.
For now, I'm saving up to purchase my own HD projector. I've got a 360 that needs a huge screen for ultimate enjoyment actionness.
If that type of thing is really such a huge blow to Sony, then I imagine they have worse problems than just sharing that particular franchise with other consoles.
And this is kind of my point about the PS3. They don't seem to market their games as well as other consoles have so far. Sure, everyone is well aware of FF games. But surely there are a few really solid games that represents the PS3 very well, aren't there? Then how come I never see any commercials for these games while all the time I'm seeing ads for 360 and Wii? It kind of makes the whole demographic for PS3 gamers seem all the more obscure.
I'd still say that there really isn't anything out on the ps3 that's worth making a comercial for, let alone anything that would make me want to purchase one. Who knows, maybe since everything is going multiplatform now I won't need to get a ps3. There would be absolutely no reason to drop that much money on something I can easily aquire for my 360. I think Sony effed up this round something fierce, losing Final Fantasy was just the finishing blow.
yet another sign! Playstation will lose to the Xbox, and the fight will resume with nintendo and Xbox. lets see PS fans try and see the good side to this! thats it folks, blueray will crumble soon, and Sony will have to lower prices alot to try and make some of the money they can while they can. the new xbox is out, and the PS3 is looking very bad since they dont have too many good games.

It was probably inevitable. Final Fantasy is after all the third best-selling franchise in the world after Nintendo's Mario and Pokemon, but unlike the latter two which are owned by Nintendo, FF is made by a stand-alone company. And as always, money needs to be made.
The PS3 really is not going to make this. Sony is losing this. The first Xbox didn't manage to get up after a slow and crappy start, and I doubt the PS3 will either.
PlugY for Diablo II allows you to reset skills and stats, transfer items between characters in singleplayer, obtain all ladder runewords and do all Uberquests while offline. It is the only way to do all of the above. Please use it.

I was late getting into the Halo craze. And even then, I was mostly just interested in the single player. But yes, it is a tad overrated as people tend to think of it as the definitive FPS.
