Square Enix Confirmed for E3 Attendance

The Electronic Entertainment Expo website (E3) recently published the full exhibitor list, with Square Enix being confirmed as attending.

I have a strange feeling that there is a strong reason why SE is giving microsoft all those exclusive games and it doesn't involve money.

Agree or disagree I think FFXIII is still PS3 exclusive due to technique issues.

Didn't Someone say that it had 120 hours of gameplay. Tell me how that would fit on a dvd without minus graphics sound physics etc.

[IrishAssa]

multiple dvds and compression techniques

[Lucreto]

I think SE want to level the field so to speak so they can go muliplatform. All the JRPG's will build a base for the 360 so I see that SO$ will hopefully be the last SE exclusive.

[- Ghost of Sparta -]

Too bad this game fell off my radar like a year ago lol. Too many other PS3 games I want right now, just can't seem to get myself to care about another RPG from Square-Enix.

[BRACHATTACK]

As much as i'd like for it to be exclusive, SE wouldn't have announced it to be multiplatform if they weren't 100% sure it would work on the 360.

But as long as it remains exclusive in Japan, Sony aren't worried.

[Eiffel]

Why would you want it to remain exclusive?

Don't want other people to enjoy a game just because its not on your console only, eh?

Kind of selfish holmes.

Even as a 360 owner I don't want this trash to be honest.

[Le Idiotce]

and therefore screwed.

I cant possibly see any justification in the game going multi platform.

It increases waiting time, fanboy ignorance and arrogance, quality of the game and more.

[hay]

Now Squeenix will shock gaming world again. They'll announce that Xbox360 getting FFXIII was a joke! /jk just kidding, FF13 is shaping quite nicely and all FF fans deserve to play it. Although I still prefer exlusives quality.

[ChickeyCantor]

" Tell me how that would fit on a dvd without minus graphics sound physics etc.
"
120 hours of gameplay without the "gfx" and "sound" and "physics" It would be just a wall of text with Booleans/Ints/Numbers(floats)/ Strings/functions and many other datatypes.(meaning you could actually put more than 120 of hours of gameplay, but without the gfx its pretty much pointless unless its a text bases RPG XD)

Do you even know what you are talking about?

Also the longer the Gameplay doesn't always mean it needs more texture packages, new character models or whatever.
If im not mistaken you could also get 100 hours out of Tales of symphonia, yet GCN-discs were small in size.

But sure im going for 2 discs maybe 3 =).

[GameGambits]

I really hope SE finally unleashes their new FF mmo that's being developed by the same guys who did FFXI MMO.

[Lifendz]

Square Enix could be forced to delay FFXIII indefinitely (in the U.S. at least) and MS would still make it a profitable endeavor for them. Anything to counter Sony is the MS motto. So FF fans that don't speak Japanese you can forget about FFXIII for the foreseeable future. It sucks but that's business.

For Sony to get Square to release FFXIII in the U.S. when it's ready and before the 360 version comes out, they'd not only have to give them whatever MS did but they'd also have to pay the inevitable legal fees SE would incur from the lawsuit MS would bring.

[odisho68]

...Kingdom Hearts 3...PS3 Exclusive???...that will give me something to be excited about

[Arnon]

"Didn't Someone say that it had 120 hours of gameplay. Tell me how that would fit on a dvd without minus graphics sound physics etc."

Oblivion AND Fallout 3 have over 100 hours of gameplay AND they most likely have more detail. They both fit on a DVD-9, and Fallout 3 actually performed better.

Is compression just non-existent on this site? Or is it because no one has found a logical use of the blu-ray format for gaming?

[ChickeyCantor]

" s compression just non-existent on this site? Or is it because no one has found a logical use of the blu-ray format for gaming?"

Bubbles, that just made my fuzzy causing me to laugh.

[Godmars290]

1) FFvXIII going multi.
2) FFXIII returns as PS3 exclusive because of tech issues as well as disc cost.
3) The FFVII remake is 360-only.
4) Old FFVII~FFIX to be re-released on PSN (Sony's $40 games ?)

[Le Idiotce]

as much as you becoming a famous moviestar or a billionaire.

You have a higher chance of seeing the moon turn green than to see FF7 on 360.

[SpoonyRedMage]

I don't think they own the IP though like Square don't own the IP for Infinite Undiscovery even though they published it.

If anything I can see SE working their way through the FFs up to IX on the DS, they would all be possible I think.

[hay]

Squeenix has dropped one bomb. All their other attendants on any expos and conferences were quite boring. Why awaiting another bomb? Statistically there's higher chance that they'll arrive, fart on their chairs and go back where they came from.
But honestly, I would love to see they announce FF5 and 6(next gen please) remakes or fully blown CT sequel.

[Sharingan_no_Kakashi]

*wipes forehead*

was worried they weren't gonna show /sarcasm

[B-Real206]

lol

[Sir Ken_Kutaragi]

DON'T TELL Micro$oft!!! ;-D
Wonder what they are going to STEAL next???

[queerbearandchicken]

that they are xbox's sluts

and will proceed to take it in the bum by every M$ employee

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

They're going to be next to Microsoft. That can only mean one thing: Final Fantasy XIII footage.

Oh wait...that's extremely boring.

[SAiOSiN]

funny how they'll showcase the footage on the ps3 version. unless they change the buttons from x to A, o to B, [] to x, and /\ to Y on screen to make it appear like it's on 360...

[ranma6899]

they might show the demo of final fantasy 13 game for ps3
they did say they had another game at e3 08 thats 4 games right there
maybe they final annouse last remants .release

maybe they annouse kingdom hearts 3

or tell ps3 vs coming out same time final 13 comes out after that they go to microsoft only console that wouldnt surprise me

[kewlkat007]

.....

[SpoonyRedMage]

Uncool man, uncool.

But I wouldn't mind it being multiplatform then I wouldn't have to buy a PS3(I can't afford to anyway).

[jjl]

Makes sense, Square Enix wanted to level the playing field, why not release FF13versus for the Xbox360? Oh wait, I don't see SO4 for the PS3, and what happened to Last Remnant for PS3? What are they trying to do?

[SpoonyRedMage]

The Last Remnant's the only problem and they're still planning to port that to the PS3(and it'll probably be the advanced PC version) and I thought nobody wanted The Last Remnant after they heard about the glitches.

Also if you use Star Ocean as an example I counter with Disgaea 3(they published it here in Europe on the 20th) which is exclusive to the PS3.

[TenSteps]

That's the point I'd want it if they completely ironed out the glitches.

Oh and on my last comment with you I only joked about you being Death's sidekick because when he said "What strain is that" you come in and say "Yeah what strain is that" (been watching too many corny comedies with villains with sidekicks you see). No hard feelings I presume :)

Oh and I don't count Disgaea 3 because it's not like SE published it everywhere only in Europe. I wouldn't mind FF Versus 13 as a multi-platform game I'd rather expand the fanbase so that I'd have more people to talk to about it, but then again keeping FF Versus 13 could be SE's crowd control from the "Betrayed the PS3 community" that it has been receiving (which I am a part of).

[ps92117]

yeah I know right, else the 360 be dead come 2010. Oh I can't wait for GeOW3 on ps3, epic seems to like ps3 and if they want advance in graphics they gona need ps3.

[pixelsword]

Just finish the games people actually wanted to play.

[theEnemy]

to announce that FFXIII:Versus is no longer a PS3 exclusive.

Since most of their games that has been released in 2008 has failed in sales, they need the extra cash from M$.

Oh wait!

[Dream Machine]

I've currently got 2 to 1 odds on Versus going Multiplat
4 to 1 360 getting exclusive DLC for XIII
8 to 1 360 XIII being a timed exclusive in NA/EU
and 1 to 1 odds Square-Enix are going to do something annoying.

[PirateThom]

What's the odds on all of the first three?

[SAiOSiN]

your odds are r-tarded. i lol'd at how stupid your post was. just leave right now because no one can help u.

[NinjaRyu]

I'll that 2 to 1 bet FF13VS going to the 360!

[DrWan]

When you are backed up to the wall, you need to fight like a man. Start new studios; make your own grand scale RPGs, Start your own lines of Final Fantasies. Revive your Alundra, Legend of Dragoon, and many other past series. Talk to the guys for a remake of the original XenoGears. GO GO GO!! FIGHT BACK, FIGHT BACK, FIGHT BACK!!

[Enate]

You said the magic word sir Xenogears the best experience of my life when it comes to videogames especially rpgs.

[Johnny Rotten]

10 DS games.
18 cellphone games.
6 PSP games.

and for all 3 systems we'll get a trailer for Kingdom hearts that due for release in 6 years.

[RedVsBlue]

FF& was released on the PC & NOT MADE BY SONY

So FF7 can be multiplatform

[Arnon]

Yup.. in fact, every FF can be released on the 360 I believe.

[mirroredderorrim]

I'll be attending. Does Closed Mega Theater require an invite only to enter?

:(

[PirateThom]

It depends on how Square Enix feel.

Some are invite/ticket only.

Some are wait in a long queue for a few hours.

[Homicide]

Kingdom Hearts III for 360

[gersh]

Exclusive? NAW!
Multiplatform? Possibly.

[N4g_null]

Man I hope FF13 sale really well even with all this hate directed at SE. I don't expect a bomb just the usually stuff. You know like backing nintendo so they can pay bills, humble stuff like that. But buying edios is a complete F-up!

[NickIni]

SE at E3? Wow! They MUST be announcing something massive.

/sarcasm

Chances are, it will be a "look at our games!" presentation.

[Reibooi]

Well it will be pretty obvious that we will learn little new about Final Fantasy XIII at E3 but what i want to know is if perhaps there may be any new games announced.

[Zeus Lee]

Hahaha,watch Microsoft try to buy Square Enix's next iPhone game as a Zune exclusive

[Whitey2k]

theres many things Square Enix could say

1. Final fantasy vs could go muiltiplat
2. Star Ocean could be arriving on ps3
3. Final fantasy 7 could be in the works after final fantasy 13
4. Kindom Hearts 3 could be on all 3 platforms 360 ,ps3 and the wii
5. final fantasy 13 worldwide release early 2010

[Raoh]

I predict FFXIII DLC content for the 360

[ScubaSteve1]

i sure do let u know japan is ps3 exclusive and no 360 version so its pretty foolish not to have dlc

[Superduper09]

I have a feeling that SE will announce the US (and possibly the Europe) release date of FFXIII, showcase some new footage of FFXIII, and announce some new projects at this year's E3.
