ff13 looks wilde homo

It will probably be even worse than FF12.

All out of phoenix down to save Sony.

It will probably be even worse than FF12.
I don't know, it won't have a Gambit system... so it has that much going for it!

did i mention i don't give a shit about ff13
hold on, lemme edit

Dean Takahashi asked why they decided to end the exclusive with Sony.
1:55
Says Hashimoto: "We considered the hardware situation. Because of that, we considered the spread of the hardware, so that's why we decided that."
1:56
Question: How will the Xbox 360 and the PS3 versions be different?
1:57
Says Kitase: We planned on having the contents the same, but obviously the Blu-ray and the DVD will be different.
1:57
Asks Christian Nutt: We heard that people were pulled off different teams to work on this.
1:59
Kitase: "As for development, we are using Crystal Tools for development. We are using it for the PC base. We are making the game at a faster pace. We should be able to show new footage in the future."
2:00
Some question about something about the future of the series.
2:00
They only want to talk about FFXIII, so they don't know.
2:01
I ask: How many discs will it ship on?
2:01
Kitase says: "That's still undecided."
2:01
I ask: "About how many?"
2:02
He laughs and won't answer.
2:02
first they will finish ffxiii in japan. and then they will start localization for english.
2:03
at that point, they will start the xbox 360 development.
2:03
so says hashimoto.
2:04
he also adds that ff13 might not be released in the us and europe at the same time because of the language.
2:04
languages, rather.
wat
-
lol final fantasy
-
SE are fucking distinguished mentally-challenged fellows. MGS4 with all its dialogue can have a simultaneous WW release and yet SE STILL need to localize their games near the JP release date.
-
2:02
first they will finish ffxiii in japan. and then they will start localization for english.
2:03
at that point, they will start the xbox 360 development.
wat
....wait.
They're going to finish the game, release it in Japan, then start making it for the 360?

i make him a thread and he won't come into it

so they're not starting 360 development until they've finished the japanese ps3 version...and sony can't even get it localized first. that's some failure

FFXIII can release whenever on 360. I'm patient.
I don't even have a 360 yet, and I only just beat FFXII last night.

From the looks of the SE conference interview, the game is actually coming out later in the states because of the 360 version.
PS3 Japanese version gets finished. Work on localizing the PS3 game begins. Work on the 360 game begins. Then America and Euro versions of both games get released. I would think localizing a game is easier than building it on other hardware.

eb is bizarroland about games (likes asscrud all of a sudden), but generally speaking at least kitase (and team) designs 20-25 hours of game per game he works on. bioware generally cuts off around 5.
i suppose if ff13 is 5 hours of content stretched to 40 hours we can say that mass effect has indeed influenced kitase

1:01 - They are "ready to start" developing FF XIII. So first they will complete the PS3 version in Japan, then start a localization for the US and Europe while they start development on the 360 version.
1:03 - The PS3 and the 360 versions will be released simultaneously in the US and Europe, but not Japan.
this does not make any sense at all
so they'll have finished the ps3 version
they'll release it in japan
they'll start with the 360 version
localize both
and then release both at the same time in the west

i know, but it says that in the time they develop the 360 version, they'll localize the game, and then release both versions
isn't localizing supposed to take less time than actual game development i.e. why is the ps3 version not coming out sooner i.e. sony fails
or am i totally reading it wrong
-
it's not your fault, bud. it's shitty translation. the scenario square enix described makes absolutely zero sense; additionally, it's silly to think they don't have translators/localizers localizing at least parts of it while the game is actually in development.
-
isn't localizing supposed to take less time than actual game development i.e. why is the ps3 version not coming out sooner i.e. sony fails
or am i totally reading it wrong
Localizing a game the size of FFXIII would definitely take more time than porting a (completed) PS3 game to the Xbox 360.
I'd estimate the localization at about 4-5 months, and the 360 port at 6-8 weeks. (And that's for a good, relatively optimized port.)
-
so it seems like they're going to delay the game in NA for the 360 version. not cool s-e if that is the case.
-
wait so its not ps3 exclusive anymore?
:lol im fucking selling my ps3 now, no joke

i really think that's a translation error. they'd have to port over the entire white engine and then the game on top of it in 6-8 weeks by your estimate. and these are japanese developers.
If you look at the IGN transcript, they quote Kitase as saying they're "ready to begin developing." By that remark, the game is at least 4 years away.

well, I mean, they haven't done any work on FFXIII yet. this much is obvious from the trailers and interviews so far. THERE IS NO GAME.
Crystal Tools is multiplatform to begin with, 6-8 weeks is for optimization and polish. most teams only get 2-3 weeks at the end to port their game from 360 to PS3. 6-8 is being extremely generous and accounting for 1) Square doesn't have much experience with multiplatform polish 2) this will be the first multiplatform Crystal Tools game, so there will be some extra work needed to finish it up.

Only Mupepe likes Assassin's Creed - both games are pretty crap (yes, pretty)

Square just shot themselves in the foot.
I don't know how much the rest of you know about Japanese culture (I'm an expert), but honor and shame are huge parts of it. It's not like it is in America where you can become successful by being an asshole. If you screw someone over in Japan, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance. Oh, and no one will want anything to do with you when you're a shameful person.
What this means is the japanese public, after hearing about this, is not going to want to purchase FFXIII for either system, nor will they purchase any of Square's games. This is HUGE. I'm surprised none of my fellow JGaffers have pointed out what a big deal this is. You can laugh all you want, but Square has alienated an entire market with this move.
Square, publicly apologize and cancel FFXIII for 360 or you can kiss your business goodbye.

i refuse to believe those fucks haven't started on FFXIII. It is impossible. I'm sure theyre using their trademark Square enix way of doing things and keeping mum entirely. They did it for Crisis Core they're doing it for FF13 and DQ9

Current belief is that its been developed, heavily, on the PC and its a matter of porting it to the PS3 (and eventually the 360).
It seems like when the Prez was asked about whether the game will be released on the PC, he acted very coy about it. Wow, FFXIII to the PC too!
-
that's what i was trying to say. it doesn't exist outside of the fmv's, but i want it to exist .
i like that shot with the car under the bridge and i like the style of those trailers. i'd take a new trailer of that over ffxiii.
-
If the English PS3 version of FFXIII is held back while the 360 version is developed, I'll be pissed.
I'll be curious to see if people continue to slam FFXIII as hard they have been previously.
-
Jesus, you people are so behind the times. Square is passé and hasn't been relevant in like a decade. Of course, videogames are so lame and distinguished mentally-challenged that they have no sense of following the cultural zeitgeist. Square is old and busted. By my count, they haven't made a truly superlative title since Internal Section.
Also, FF games always take the better part of a year to localize. The porting won't hold it back. Of course, I bet Sony dolts will forget that and blame MS when it takes 8 months to come to NA.
-
Unless they give each person a million dollars at their conference tomorrow, I don't think Sony can do anything at this point to recover. They're seriously fucked in North America.

i'm gonna import the japa version and then buy it on 360 when it's released here.
i really suspect it was "in development" with a very small core team....like how crisis core was developed until development progressed far enough that they brought in enough people to finish it off.

So here's my question: Do you guys think that the original envisioned technical grade/scope for FF Thirteen has since fallen back to earth for S-E since they realised that the PS3 is a deal more difficult to develop for? And in such case has since been adjusted to make the benchmark Three-Sixty friendly? I can understand going multi-platform, that's just business today. Hell, putting Thirteen multi-platform could mean even more funds for S-E to create more FF Seven tangent story lines. Because everyone wants to play a game based on Yuffie's childhood...

Who cares.
In fact, the 360 port will probably make things worse. FFXIII already seems to be a clusterfuck. Maybe bringing it to another system might have been the cause but information has been sparse and adding a new character is supposed to be news. Meanwhile, FF has lost most of its relevance in the scheme of gaming. Once, it was the premier franchise and now, after numerous port jobs and shaky sequels, it has lost a lot of its prestige. Only hard up Sony fans still pretended like it was a huge franchise. Another game that was supposed to make the 360 sales grind to 0, like Haze, Uncharted, Virtua Fighter 5, Metal Gear Solid 4, and Lair were supposed to.
I'd almost be willing to bet that it was out of financial need that the 360 port was made.
-
how much did 12 sell? RPGs aren't big anymore, but i thought FF still pulls in big sales

I know, with games like the Sims and Popcap games and Yahoo games and all that jazz... PC seems to have either the super casual, shallow games or the super hardcore games for 30 year old ponytailed fatties (WOW). no in between type stuff which is what the consoles specialize in.

Do I still feel depressed, betrayed, disrespected, hurt, [insert more emotions here] and have bad thoughts about those people? Yes, but I've gotten a little sleep(3 hours and trying to manage my sleep for Sony/Nintendo conference), gain some more control over my emotions, and I've been able to examine the intricacies of the situation in thought sessions. Too many people are overexaggerating(specifically fanboys who say things like "Sony is finished" all that other crap. Don't fail kthx) in what what this will do to the PS3. Actually, I've felt this way since yesterday and didn't need sleep to realize this, but I was just too ****ing tired and "not in the right place" to go into much detail.
The PS3 version should be superior version just for the fact that the 360 will version will need a lot of shortcuts,lots of discs and things of that nature being a port As a whole the game won't be as good as it could have been if it were exclusive because of the concessions they do have to make for a 360 version. But what really sucks the most that final fantasy fans in the western markets have to suffer because Microsoft obviously threw some more money at Square for a simultaneous release date.
MICROSOFT might or might not have paid you, but in actuality, you may actually lose would be buyers, and even more importantly - fans. I was a massive SQUARE ENIX fan, especially with FINAL FANTASY, or should I say, I was. You're forgetting your roots SQUARE, nintendo and PlayStation is where you belong, and that is also where you're fan base belongs too. So, before I lose all faith in you, and although it may be too late, pull back the XBOX version, or count me out from this game, its not just the fact that its on XBOX 360, but also the fact that you're not listening to your fans, in fact, XBOX 360 owners didn't care about FINAL FANTASY, so why should you deliver to them?
My hands won't stop shaking. This is ridiculous. How could S-E do this to Sony, who has been their loyal partner for so long. How could they just throw away such a sacred friendship. I feel literally sick about it. I've been buying Sony consoles exclusively my whole life, Final Fantasy is my favorite game series.
Fuck you Square. FUCK YOU.
In my own opinion, they would be making less money. The reason why I can say this is because of the piracy of Xbox games. You could just donwload them from some website you googled. Specially here in our country, Philippines, piracy is rampant. People here in our country would choose pirated goods over the legit and original ones.
This is the last straw. First i get plain horse crap like 12 and now 13 has gone multiplatform? Square has been in decline ever since merging with Enix, i just hoped they would stay true for at least this gen. Looks like i was wrong. So now instead of focusing to make the best game possible on one platform, they want to multiplat for profit. Not only does this seem to be a big nail in Sony's coffin, but it's going to take a hell of an annoucement in Sony's conference to make this OK. And no, a FFVII remake isn't going to cut it, i don't want to play reblended old games, 8 was my favourite after all. So, there we have it. I'm not buying this game because of a personal grudge... All i can hope for now is that some young upstart developer with everything to gain falls into Sony's wing and starts a new legendary RPG franchise. Looks like 12 was my final fantasy.
FFXIII will be better on the Famicom
The PS3 and 360 community as a hole is not ready for a FF game to be in their console.
They have been bred with simplicity in mind, games such as MGS, Grand Turismo, Halo,CoD 4, and others games of this kind have created a very immature user base.
FF games are simply TOO complex and mature for PS3 and 360 owners to handle.
This is a very good move by Square, which will surely end very well.
Any retort to this topic will be considered damage control by fan boys.
Way to show us fans. They screwed us PS3 owners.
Here are a couple reasons why we DON'T need nor care about FF13
- We need to teach S.E. a lesson
- This FF13 will prolly suck anyway so don't buy it to support S.E.
- The gameplay will be like that of FFXII
- We will have Final Fantasy Versus XIII which will blow FF13 out of the water
- KH3 will blow this game out the water
Squaresoft was the reason why I bought my PS and my PS2.
Now I bought a PS3 because of Konami's MGS4 and I was hoping to get FFXIII and many more Final Fantasies and Square Enix exclusives also for the PS3.
I feel betrayed, after so many years of loyalty to Sony and S-E, I can't believe they did this...
Final Fantasy is a great series whose legacy is known mainly for its Playstation games.Final Fantasy XIII was supposed to be Exclusive to the PS3 but now it is Multi-platfomred with the Xbox 360. The PS3 needs to get this game so Xbox doesn't gain any extra ground in this console war. Also we have all of theses people who bought a PS3 because FFXIII was promised to be exclusive. now we need to unite and make this game a PS3 Exclusive!
Thats why it has taken so long to dev. I wont be picking it up anymore. All the multi-plat games have sucked
what kinda ******** is that. now i gotta get a ****ing watered down version of the greatest rpg . are you kidding me. wow SE just lost my purchase. i hope they burn in hell.
This entire show was about stealing. They stole the Miis from Nintendo, Singstar, Banjo looked like LBP, The new OS looks like an Ipod, and they copied HOME as well. Then they announce this crap. How about you come up with your own ideas for a change M$.
Personally I think this will be a shadow of the game we know it could of been now, my favourite game of all time is going to be limited to the space of DVD and then ported over to PS3. Well they can **** the port I aint being shafted.
Square wont be getting my money now =] Sellouts!
And here's a great quote from gaf's very own basch:
BALLLS!!! Sell outs! kjdnkdsghnaskldfnsdkljbnkl!!!! OH MY GOD! ASSHOLES! SH!TFUCKERS!!! GET READY TO BURN SE! Who's with me. *Cries*

best e3 ever

wtf @ those doodz
If you don't read GAF for a few weeks or months you forget just how invested some of these clowns are. It's not like the PS3 version got delayed for this, so who gives a shit? I can't believe I was riding those waves at one time.
I also don't get the Sony creeps around here who are suddenly buying 360 because of the announcement of a PS3 port. OK?
-
admiral, only one of those quotes is from gaf.

WATCH THAT YOUTUBE. I AM SERIOUS
-
People who invest so many emotions in a single console just scare me. I mean, 360 fans would also be shitting crazy if Halo 4 was on the PS3. Like the console, just don't get emotionally invested. Plus, more people can play the game if it is on more consoles, that is win for everyone.

:rofl
Is that you Himumu or Phoenix Dark on that video?
are you dumb.
1. that guy isn't black as far as i know
2. pd could give two shits about ff13
3. i am happy about this news
-
I'm confused, is it now exclusive on 360 or something? Because that's the only way I can understand these people's reactions.
-
The vage in Himu's video looks just like a normal person, not your typical basement dweller ala Amirox. Has there been an electronics brand that inspires so much corporate cocksuckery than Sony (except Apple)?
-
kestastrophe: nintendo?

You're right. I just don't think of Nintendo as a game company as I used to.
-

But they've been betrayed. They were supposed to be able to play it. Them. And only them. It was to be a status symbol, and now it is all hopelessly sundered. Just like Capcom with Devil May Cry 4, somebody must pay.

Yeah, Nintendo fans will NEVER be trumped as the craziest bunch of console freaks out there.

I don't know, the Sonybot run of 2006-2008 is probably as impressive as any run from the Nintendumbs. I'd put it right up against the great Nintard years of 2002-2004.
-

Sony fans are getting there, quickly... the way they act now directly parallels the way N64 fans acted back in the day. Namely, rabidly praising first party exclusives, crying over losses of exclusivity, claiming technical superiority nonstop, the whole "wait for XXXXX to be released!"
-
Fuck. I was out of town (Boris concert :rock) and missed the meltdown.
-
Yeah, Nintendo fans will NEVER be trumped as the craziest bunch of console freaks out there.
Yeah I didn't think so either but this new lot of Sonybots have changed my mind. They're at least as fucking nuts as any raging Nintendo loon out there.
They're just flat out creepy.

I think Sony fans of today are comparable to Sega fans more than Nintendo fans if anything. Nintendo fans have become even more sickening this gen because Nintendo is getting rich off a gimmick.

Except unlike PS3, Dreamcast and Saturn had quite a number of good games...

That is actually Sam Kennedy from 1up who comes off as a Sony fan more than anything. That was back at the PS3 launch.
Hey - we are comparing current-gen sfags to past nintenfags, the ones that lost everything with GameCube but were so zealous and devoted they didn't even see it.
Present nfags are totally different story.
They are also very sickening BTW.
I can agree with that.
I think it happens when they fall from grace. Sometimes I fear that if the PC ever went under, I would also become like that...I hope that never happens.

SOMEONE PLEASE MAKE A SAINTS ROW 2 TOPIC ABOUT RANDY THE cheeseburger
-
no, shut up

I don't know what those whiners are complaining about. Back in the day when Square left Nintendo for Sony we didn't even get a port of the Final Fantasy games. They still get to play the damn game. The only thing they've lost is one more bullet point to use in stupid console war bullshit.

Pre-announcement:
If Resistance is pulling 22gb on the BD, I'd imagine S-E's flagship efforts will be as impressive if not more so.
If they tried it on the X360, there'd definetly have to be significant compromises. Plus FFXIII has probably got the best looking hair in any game shown so far, so without CELL, it could be difficult to pull off. You might end up with DOA4 style hair (tentacular!)
For something like FFXIII... you could imagine them needing at the very least 5 gigs of texture data (I'm estimating more likely in the region of 15; when you consider FFXI is mostly texture data; at low res, but the game along with the expansion packs are in the region of what... 8 gigs?), you've only got 2 gigs left to cram in audio and FMV... so how many discs would you need for a FF game then (if they replicate the game data in each disc)? People would balk, and S-E would balk.

Trailer for Vs 13 or whatever its called. It looks like it will be a CG movie and don't see any hints that it is going to be a game at all.
