Job Listing Causes Further Final Fantasy Versus XIII On Xbox 360 Speculation

Kotaku: "At the 2008 gaming expo in Los Angeles, Square Enix dropped a bombshell: Final Fantasy XIII, previously believed to be a PS3 exclusive, was headed for the Xbox 360. Could the same be in store for Final Fantasy Versus XIII?"

[plb]

Sigh. So much for a proper FF game exclusive to PS3. Another gimp job incoming from SE. So I take it Xbox version will have 5 discs this time around.

[theonlylolking]

No...it will have OVER 9000 DISCS!!!!!!

jk

[LoVeRSaMa]

If the gimp it ofc.

Tbh its not even really about that, its the fact they are lying to us.

[RBLAZE1988]

It says "360 OR ps3" not and...that's cause most games play the same on either console so a battle planner who worked on a 360 title can be hired to work on a ps3 exclusive. Man joketaku really know how to rile you guys up and get hits. Nowhere in the description does it say anything about coding for the 360 idk why everyone would lose there minds over this...oh yea it's kotaku the most unprofessional site ever. They are looking for a battle planner with experience working on a next gen hd console chill out guys i think it will stay exclusive...if square enix knows what's good for their company.

[Reibooi]

Just because it says they are looking for someone with 360 experience doesn't mean a thing. You have to remember that if someone is hired they are not gonna just fire them when the project is over. They are gonna have them work on other projects.

If the person they hire has experience with both PS3 and 360 in the future they will be more useful as they can help out with more then just PS3 exclusive projects.

To be honest I think this will stay exclusive. When FFXIII was announced it was said to be exclusive but that was more by announcement from the trailer no one was asking over and over. However with VS people are asking over and over and every time Nomura gives the same answer. Not to mention Nomura is in charge of the project and he is a known Sony supporter. As well as the fact that Versus looks to be outdoing XIII in every way and with XIII needing cuts because of the 360 it's common sense to keep the game exclusive to not have to suffer through that again.

[Theonik]

Not this again... They are asking with people that have HD console experience. For a battle planner listing there is no reason to have console specific experience but having experience in the development of current gen games is a must. Also notice that the listing asks for someone with experience with either of the 2 systems. Honestly this is getting ridiculous...
It's what Reibooi said.

[vsr]

Official announcement only for PS3.

[Darrius Cole]

It won't have over 9000 discs; it will have over 9000 CUTS.

[MachinaMaw]

I'll rape SE if it's on 360.

[DatNJDom81]

I think square enix will make it a multiplat. They might release the PS3 version first, then announce the xbox version a couple of months after the PS3 release, a la mass effect. I could be wrong (as a matter of fact, I hope I'm wrong), but they're are not the same company that gave me Final Fantasy 4, 5, 6 (the best one), 7, 8, 10. Those were the best ones in my opinion. square, you must have gotten retarded with all that money, just like Cloud did in FF7. Hopefully, you'll get some sense knocked back into you. The only way that will happen is if the fans DONT support you when you do dumb shit. Like release a gimped game. I aint buy 13 and if versus goes multiplat, I wont buy it either. You guys had an outstanding reputation and you shitted on it for money. As a true fan, I wont support you till you find yourselves. And by finding yourselves I dont mean by touching yourselves.

[Black-Helghast]

Screw this game, I'm tired of SE lying to us. If you guys wanna buy the game and keep belieaving the lies from SE, fine. I would die rather then to buy another SE game. EVEN IF THEY RELEASE KH3 I WON'T BUY IT. Yup that's right. MGSR was painfull, FF13 Was a DISSASTER Thanks to de 360 and now this? I'm trading in my copy of Kane & Lynch. Vote me down do w/e you want. I ain't buying another SE for being such lying douches...

[Sheddi]

I cant be bothered with this game anymore. Dont really care

[rockleex]

Yup, the Sony owned subsidiary is going multiplatform with Uncharted 3 too. Confirmed and all that.

Bloody rubbish.

[Keith Olbermann]

They havent given me anything lately. They want your money..thats about it.

[velcry]

as someone who grew up...

... sneaking around at 2 am in the morning just to play a bit more FF7 without getting caught by my parents...

... arguing non-stop with my friends over how the Junction system in FF8 was actually pretty good...

... rushing through to the end on FF9 just to see if monkeyboy gets the princess...

... dropping my jaw when I first saw the opening cinematics of FFX on a friend's PS2, and then rushing out to get my own...

BUT THEN

... playing FFX-2 and thinking, hey, where did the magic go...

... plodding through FFXII before realizing that every single character was essentially the same, once you pumped them up equally...

... hoping, craving, desiring FFXIII so much it hurt, and then playing through it to realize it was just so very underwhelming...

I've learnt that perhaps the golden age of Square-Enix, for me, is over. I think nostalgia is adding a hint of greatness to the FF franchise that might not even be there anymore.

I think when FF Versus XIII comes I'll play it, but I'm no longer hoping it'll be the ONE SINGLE GAME that justifies my PS3.

Cause that was supposed to be FFXIII, and boy, Yoichi Wada, I really, really think you did Square-Enix more harm than you can imagine.

[MsmackyM]

I feel like a junky, chasing that high FF7 left me with, only to be disappointed time and time again. I'm not going to even comment on the failure that was FF13. Well I guess SE is into watering down there product in order to make stretch.

[blackbeld]

@velcry

I total agree with you. Damn since the fusion of square-soft nothing good came out.

They should never join with Enix. Please split-up and give me my FF quality like before.

[nickjkl]

to bad enix only ever did publishing and localization of games and hasnt developed a game in its life unlike square who made final fantasy 1- 13 by them selves
2 movies
acquired eidos
and has multiple development teams

give up already you guys just want nostalgia of the olden final fantasy's back when

they used menus for talking
back when their as no voice acting
where people thought the game wasnt linear when it really was

to me final fantasy was a good game and its mostly because i wasnt judging it because it was a copy of all the other final fantasys

[visualb]

I feel you man. I'm actually no fan of FF, but your comment is well constructed and I can imagine the feeling, and I agree

devs come and go with golden ages

don't forget, apparently FF 4 -10 are the BEST of the series...after that, down hill, but thats 6 games, including FF7 which is hailed as the best RPG of all time

there goes the prime

[pwnd_of_lol]

Well, i guess they will look at how well FF XIII has done well in terms of 360 sales. so it's possible Versus could make it's way to Xbox..

The marketing strategy of putting a major series game on two major consoles works, and the sales show it in 360.

anyway, Putting Versus on the 360 will do great for both consoles.I will be getting the 360 version.

[RBLAZE1988]

I disagreed with you. So it's right to delay this game 2 more years and spend 20 million or more dollars getting versus on the 360 just so they can get 1 million extra copies sold on a platform that barely appreciates the kind of game versus is trying to be...that barely appreciate any rpg that isn't mass effect fallout or oblivion. That makes sense. I bet if lost odyssee came out on ps3 it would have sold 4 times as much as the 360 version and versus isn't worth the money and more delays to get it on the 360

[No Way]

It doesn't sound like to me that PS3 fans appreciate what it's tryna be either.
Most of them just plead and beg for it not to goto x360, or they won't buy it.
This whole 'genre only console' crap is stupid. I like my JRPGs.
Just like many other people that own a x360 like a good ol JRPG.

You sound pathetic.

[TVippy]

... after all. But PS3 fanboys, don't be dicks about it - it's not that good of a game, as it turned out.

[pwnd_of_lol]

fanboys of ps don't even need to know about marketing to do research and find out XIII on the 360 was far from a bad idea, and certainly won't "ruin" anything of game.

[raztad]

I'm not saying game will not appear on xbox360, it may or may not, however

/quote
Today, Square Enix posted a job listing for a Final Fantasy Versus XIII "Battle Planner". Listed in the job requirements are the following requirements: experience developing a 3D action game, knowledge and experience in both level and battle design and "development experience on a PS3, or Xbox 360 package title".

/endquote

you can change "experience on a PS3, OR Xbox 360 package title" by "experience on console package title". If there was an "AND" instead of a "OR" I would give the rumor some credibility. This kinda remind me that job listing from Naughty Dogs.

[dabri5]

LOL, after reading the quot you posted Raz, people have to realize too; If I am a company and I'm going to hire someone to help with a project. I'm not going to want to get rid of that person after the project is done. It would be nice if that person could, after the project is done, help out with other projects, that may not be on just the PS3. It's not the end of the world that SE is looking for someone with more than just PS3 experience to work on FFVXIII game.

Also, the job they are hiring for isn't really hardware specific. They need someone to work on a game mechanic and level design. Not coding on the engine. Shouldn't matter if the person only has experience with the DS, it's a game mechanic/ design position, not hardware coder. That's like saying, "OMG THE NEW CONCEPT ARTISTS ON THE NEW FFVXIII GAME HAS ONLY HAD 360 EXPERIENCE! THE GAME MUST BE COMING TO 360!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*head explodes*"

People should stop being all gloom and doom and actually think for themselves instead of buying so easily into these stupid articles.

[RBLAZE1988]

Looks like there is still intelligent life out there...wanna start a gaming blog for people like us so we don't have to be subjected to kotakus garbage news stories lol. But seriously tho very well said i said the same thing in reply to the first few comments.

[tinybigman]

nothing from SE this generation has surprised me in the least. they haven't proven themselves at all this gen.

[tinybigman]

to the disagreers please enlighten me on what they've done this generation that's better than what they've done last generation.

[WLPowell]

"The world ends with you" was actually really good... So why is it that Kotaku is always first in line to make "PS3 game is jumping ship/ PS3 game has problems/ Sony fails" rumor BS? Are we a gonna be a big-boy news outlet or a blogger site?

[stonecold3]

not true or its going to be held back longer like i said i would rather have the ps3 version complete first before they do one forthe lowest demoniter 360 square hasnt even made one exclusive for ps3 this gen they have made 3 ffgames already flop on xbox software sales and making a fps for the xbox plus the machine sell pretty bad in japan square is backing the wrong console why dont they get nintendo ff games and leave our ff games alone on ps3

[Rai]

I wouldnt call it a proper. The proper ones are FF and number right after. I was surprised this didn't go muti first but I'm not surprised its going now. If they did it to the original 13 whats stopping them from doing it now.

[callahan09]

I actually do think Square-Enix is going to wind up porting the game to 360. But that doesn't mean this listing has any relevance to that. They are looking to hire somebody. They're looking for somebody who has experience on the HD consoles, one, the other or both of them. That's the kind of person who can add a lot of the development of the game. Someone who has worked on Xbox 360 has HD console experience, which may not be as good as PS3 development experience if they're working on a PS3 game, but it's the next best thing and could still qualify you for the job, so they put that in the listing. Now, again, they probably ARE porting this to 360 just because it's Square-Enix, but I don't think in any normal circumstances you can take a job listing like this as evidence. Naughty Dog asks for people with 360 experience in their job recruiting, too, but they aren't about to make a 360 game. It's just that those people would still have the potential to be qualified for the position due to that experience.

[PS360fanboy]

Weel, can't say we didn't see this one coming... They should, at least, just bloody admit it and stop this soap opera once and for all.

XIII sold pretty well on the Xbox 360 so this is a window of oportunity to make some more cash.

Besides, if you think FF XIII on the Xbox 360 was gimped, what do you call Bayonetta or Red Dead on the PS3?

[radphil]

"Besides, if you think FF XIII on the Xbox 360 was gimped, what do you call Bayonetta or Red Dead on the PS3?"

All 3 of those games were gimped on said platforms....No one is denying that.

Also one may say that FF13 sold pretty well, but look at the number of trade-ins afterwards. Do you really think people are going to flock that easily after the game itself of FF13 on both sides?

[fallingdove]

It is an interesting listing, but I would take it with a grain of salt. Developers do this all the time. - If someone is familiar with developing a game on the xbox360 archetecture, it is easier for them to learn how to work on the PS3 archetecture than say if they had only previously worked on the DS.

If you remember, a few months back, Naughty Dog had a job posting asking for xbox360 experience, but there is no way in hell Uncharted 3 is multiplat.

-just something to think about.

[VersusEM]

I am one many who like Final Fantasy XIII, I would wait to my mom was asleep so she wouldn't hear to play Final Fantasy XIII. Staying up untill like 5 a.m in the morning just to see what was going to happen next. I wouldn't say XIII is better than VII, but it is still in my top 5.

[Akagi]

If this game comes out for Xbox 360, it'll be another nerfed experience confirmed.

360 = no buy from me.

[iamtehpwn]

This is just like the Naughty Dog Job posting. Because Xbox360 is an HD platform they are qualified to work on a Ps3 game. They don't need someone specifically PS3 experience as much as "Next gen" Development.

This does not confirm Versus XIII for Xbox360. Why is this even speculated? I hope no one is really this stupid.

[Thatguy-310]

most funny thing about this is that a majority of the people that are whining are still going to buy the game..... Thats why SE can careless what ppl think about them switching exclusive games multiplatform...For once people should avoid purchaSINg the so they can show SE that they are truly screwing over their fans this gen

[FACTUAL evidence]

Whoever thought this wasn't going to be MP after FF13 was was either in complete denial, or just a freaking moron...PERIOD. Most liely I'll have some smart ass trying to reply to this comment, calling me a loser/dumb. Really though....try to put 2 and 2 together......half of the people on this site couldn't put 2 and 2 together if it was together.

[ArcFatalix]

its no big deal. PS3 has tons of exclusives next year. We dont need you.

none of your games will match squaresofts FFX.

"Square Enix posted a job listing for a Final Fantasy Versus XIII "Battle Planner".

Hold on they want a guy with 360 experience, that doesnt mean much even naughty dog did that and they are first party.

They just want a guy with experience anyways dont care fuck square

[Thabo]

Amusing

[TVippy]

Go to school...

[Lucreto]

But they recently had a job opening stating "development experience on a PS3, or Xbox 360 title."

It means console experience nothing more.

[DarK-SilV]

Naughty Dog is a first party Dev

[radphil]

@Lucreto

Take your sensible statement out of here.

[NYC_Gamer]

well...why should square pass over 360?ff13 moved 1 million copies on that platform...3rd party games should be multiplat

Edit
square has made their money back from the ps3 sales along with extra profit from the 1mil sold on 360....this is all business for them nothing personal

[LastDance]

because it cost MONEY to do it across 2 platforms and are made for lowest common denominator.

Who even cares, square enix have proven they arent capable of making a decent game anymore.

[TVippy]

One second you cry how Versus is superior over anything that ever graced this Earth, when they announce it's going multiplat you say "they arent capable of making a decent game anymore."

[saint_seya]

@tvippy
1st : they didnt announced nothing, so dont say we are crying 4 one announcement
2nd : i think square lost their magic after the ps2 era.. ( and i do believe that their best jobs are before the ps2 era )
3rd : i u think that they did great games in the hd consoles:
a- u dont know nothing about great role games
b- ure just trying to annoy the people who really
love role playing games

[Blaster_Master]

Flop confirmed.

@Nyc_Gamer

Your right, 3rd party games should be multiplat, if it doesn't hurt the game in the process. The fact that the 360 has dvd9 hurts games cause publishers have to pay royalties to microsoft if a game uses more than 3 disc. A game as big as versus is supposed to be will be twice as big as FF13, which means 8 disc if not more. I really dont think it would be a smart move for Squeenix if they did this because us gamers find out everything , and if it was held back like ff13 (cut out a whold half a game just to fit it on the 360) then it will be the death of Squeenix as we know it. They are on life support now, one more bad game and I really dont see Squeenix ever being relevant in the industry ever again.

Edit
I dont mean flop in sales Ceedubya, When I say flop, I mean a game just being a shitty game in general.

[ceedubya9]

If over a million is considered a flop these days, then there are a lot of flop games out there.

[perfectCarbonara]

Like Alan Wake ?

trollface.jpg

[UltimateIdiot911]

What does it say about a company who lower quality greatly and spew out lies faster than the speed of light just to get that 1 million sale that they could have probably gotten had they kept it exclusive?

If you look at the past, FFXIII sold around the average number of any FF title. Funny...you think it would exceed that by being multiplatform? No?

[ceedubya9]

I guess we'll just have to wait and see. Maybe they will surprise us, or maybe the game just won't be any good.

[LastDance]

and what was sacraficed to get that 1 mil sales?

[ceedubya9]

The game has sold pretty well across both platforms. The 360 version didn't turn out as well as the PS3 version, but a good number of people got it, and although its not the most beloved game in the series, I'm sure that SOME people still enjoyed it.
If the assumption is that the game is bad, then that's the fault of the developers, NOT the 360. There are plenty of games on the 360 that are good games, so there is no excuse for 13 if it is considered "bad."

[Kain81]

well said Bub+

[BillOreilly]

they can fit it on 3-4 disks no problem. Compress the fmv's and all that jazz. i dont mind changin disks. il play it whether its on 360 or ps3 but its not hard to fit it on 360.
star ocean 4-3 disks
ff13-3 disks
lost odyssey-4 disks(way bigger than any rpg this gen with like 20 hrs of fmv)
blue dragon-3 disks

[Chuk5]

It's gonna flop? Good job n4g.

[Thabo]

Just look at FFXIV. . .oh, wait.

[jneul]

that game was made for pc first so your point is moot!!

[Chromer]

Most PS3 fans have already prepared their hearts for this disappointment already. If the inevitable announcement of it being multi-platform finally surfaces, it won't come as a shock as did FFXIII.

[CrazyForGames]

you would be surprised there are still people who think versus or any square-enix will actually be exclusive

[UltimateIdiot911]

Just people being hopefully optimistic (like someone telling themselves and other everything will be okay when it's a disaster all around) but deep down many fans have already prepared for disappointment. It won't catch fans off guard this time around.

I still hope it to remain exclusive but I have my doubts that it may stay exclusive.

Keep it up SE, just keep putting nails in your coffin.

[bustamove]

...If Square makes a stupid decision like this, then we'll know for sure they've REALLY lost their minds. Which version of FFXIII sold better again? Oh, that's right, the PS3 version.

I want a proper FF game with towns and other content. If content has to be cut for the sake of making them the same, then that's not fair at all. I don't mind multiplats but when you have to sacrifice space for the imperfections of another console, it gets under my skin.

Nyc_Gamer: That wasn't my point. If FFXIII was going to be multiplatform from the start, then Square should have said that. I never implied they had brand loyalty. I just think they are making very stupid decisions as of late.

[NYC_Gamer]

your logic about which one sold better is wrong....in that case alot of games shouldnt be on the ps3 because many multiplats sold better on 360...square has no brand loyalty why should they pass over extra profit?

[Thabo]

Ok, so that's pretty much every multiplat game except fifa and final fantasy

[bustamove]

Thanks for missing the point guys. You really made my day. :/

My point is that FFXIII would have been a better game if it was exclusive to the PS3. If Versus goes multiplatform, it will be the same nonsense we dealt with since FFXIII. Again, the PS3 version sold better. Why is Square going to make Versus multiplatform when it made too many mistakes with FFXIII?

I don't play sales but I don't see their logic at this point.

Anyway I'm done. I have things to do.

[AwesomeJizz]

Guys stop it.. You all know it's gonna be on the 360 so stop freaking imagining things.

[LiquifiedArt]

Will square redeem themselves? .... proably not.

I'm looking for new developers. I skipped FF13 and will continue to skip games until they embrace what made them what they are. Their best creation was FF6(FF3 us) by far. I dont see the problem with using it as a template for more games.

[Blaster_Master]

I liked FFX the most, but to each their own. BTW,, im not saying that the game is gonna flop just because its gonna be multiplat. Its the fact that Squeenix dumbs down their games just to fit it on dvd9. They take out things that would have been in the game. I really hate the fact that dumb people need explaining and multiple comments just to understand something so simple. More disc = royalty fees = share holders bitching = publishers demands = devs take out content to fit game on less disc = game that had potential to be great but ends up being average at best. BTW, ff13 was below average in everything besides graphics.

[shotgun_ps3]

I couldn't care less if this game comes out on 360 as long as it's got more substance than ff13, I didn't even finish it because I couldn't handle how boring and frustrating the battle system was.

[Ether]

Honestly wouldn't be surprised at this point.

[Greek God]

as long as resistance 3 killzone 3 infamous 2 and uncharted 3 dont get multi or downgraded i dont care for squareenix theyre shit anyways these days

[plb]

Those are all Sony 1st parties AFAIK so multi will never happen

[GigaGaia]

Didn't there was something like that on an ad naughty dog posted? When you look for people to make games, it doesn't matter if they have PS3, 360 or Wii experience, it's all the same. If you can make a game on one, you can do it on the others.

[Liamario]

Who cares. I mean FF13 was a huge disappointment and I don't expect anything different from this. FF14 is terrible as well apparently.
Square are not the company they used to be. And FF is certainly not the series it used to be.

[Greek God]

this mann speaks the truth..!

[Malice-Flare]

they may be hiring for help on Versus XIII, but that after that the employee can be tapped for other projects that involve Xbox 360. people are reading to much into a job advertisement...

just like Naughty Dog hiring people with XBox 360 experience, this means nothing until Wada comes and confirms the 360 port of Versus XIII...

[Jls1]

I knew it just had a feeling it was going to happen its been too quiet

[The Meerkat]

I hate crap PS3 ports.

If SE are serious about making a 360 game then give us what 360 gamers want.

Blood, Guts, F### off big guns, A pumping soundtrack, and throw in some nudity too.

What we don't want is Metrosexuals, cartoon robots, kilt wearing school girls and the same F###ing story again and again and again!!!

[vloeistof]

really wouldn't be a surprise any more.

[bennyace]

How FF XIII versus was supposed to be the real FFXIII. And now that it's rumored to go multi, nobody needs it. But I'm shure that if it turns out to be just a rumor, then everybody will want it again and say that IT'S the real FFXIII! LOL

[perfectCarbonara]

I don't give a phuck what Square Enix does anymore.

inb4: "Then why come here ?"

I came here to say that I don't give a phuck.

[Lucreto]

Square Enix posted a job listing for a Final Fantasy Versus XIII "Battle Planner". Listed in the job requirements are the following requirements: experience developing a 3D action game, knowledge and experience in both level and battle design and "development experience on a PS3, or Xbox 360 package title".

People are looking too much into this. Naughty Dog had the same "development experience on a PS3, or Xbox 360 package title" doesn't mean the game is going multiplatform but a person with console experience is needed.

I do think it will go multiplatform in the end though but I don't think this is a sign.

[All_4_One]

The fact that it`s a PS3 exclusive is the only reason I`ve been interested in it, seeing what they can do focusing on one type of hardware. If it goes multi though, I`m going to have to automatically dismiss it, there are just far too many games coming out next year for me to waste my time with another boring-ass Final Fantasy multi-plat.

[Memo-Xen x3100]

Square has sucked for a long time now. Didn't and won't be checking FF13, FF13VS or any other new Square game for that matter.

[xg-ei8ht]

FFVSBOREDOM.

That's what ff do for me.

Help me sleep.

[XabiTheHumble]

*sigh Yea, fuck this game.

[The_Devil_Hunter]

*Sigh* I really miss the good ol' Squaresoft.

[Mastodon]

@Devil

You know what happened to "good ol' Squaresoft" They fired their creative talent and left the company in the hands of an artist who managed to make EVERY game he developed Kingdom Hearts...

They really need to rehire Sakaguchi, forgive him for "trying something new" and let him reclaim "his" series. With him back Mistuda, Watanabe, and Uemetsu will follow suit and return - not to mention Tashiro.

@Anyone else

You guys do know that FFXIII wasn't bad because of 360 - it was bad because of Uncharted and Western Developers. Square as repeatedly explained what they wanted for that game - a Drake's inspired linear tracked adventure that had more story than gameplay features. That is exactly what they delivered and it wasn't even that horrible.

[Killzoned]

lol i don't understand why everyone become de-motivated when they think (RUMOR) that FFV13 is coming to 360 - IMO i think it will probably
SE has fallen so much this Gen, the Majority of their JRPG are fails, Last Remant, Infinity Undiscovery, FF13,

Am just going to look out for the reviews on this one, If FFV13 receives bad reviews than i ain't buying it. I made a huge mistake ignoring the reviews of FF13 and boy did i regret it cause FF13 sucks!

[redDevil87]

Squaresoft come back!

[xYLeinen]

If FF versus 13 would come out on xbox why keep it a secret?

Only thing I can come to conclusion with is to gain publicity about the game.

[EVO-OM3GA]

Mass Effect 2 going to PS3 was kept quiet only up until they annoucned it..

Personally i dont want versus on my 360 i would much rather play it on my ps3 but damn you ps3 owners are complaining bunch!

If Versus is developed properly and is the masterpiece we want it to be it will cost alot of money to develop maybe there just ensuring they make a profit on the title

[KiLLUMiNATi_89]

It's funny in how all ps3 fanboys were mad because they claim that the xbox held ff13 back in terms of everything. I read comments before of fanboys like, ( like man SQUARE didn't use the power of the cell or bla bla bla crap).

So now what's the excuse of why ff13 vs didn't leave up to the hype ps3 fanboys. Let me guess because you can't blame it on pc that would sound silly. It shows you that Square are just not doing a good job this gen period.

[MaideninBlack]

If you think Versus would remain a PS3 exclusive after everything SE has said/done this gen, then you're in for a wakeup call.

[tatsukishi]

Even if this is true I don't care unless it pushes back the release date again which is just plain stupid. I doubt the crap 360 sales would warrant the extra time labor and resources as well. Alot of better RPGs then final fantasy have been coming out lately though so its one of those oh well there are better things to play till this comes out.

[TwistedMetal]

They say ps3 or x360 consoles because they dont want no freaking wii dev or last gen console devs you moron. They want someone who has this gens consoles practice in numb nuts. Also one guy wouldnt make a difference and especially not what he is getting hired for. ff vs 13 is gonna be exclusive because you cant make a game with a vast world and story and all that stuff into 3 discs. this aint fallout people. the graphics and story of ff vs 13 is far bigger.

so how do they run GTA4, RDR, oblivion on 1 disc? Do you think FF can even get that much contents, huge exploration such as these games? I mean they looks great and the world is massive with so much detail and contents. Unless if they want to put more CGI movie in FF13vs, i can see why it may need more than 3 discs.

Nothing in this article proves Versus 13 is going multiplatform. SE is just looking for more people with console experience. I still really hope this game goes multiplatform. No need for people who prefer the 360 to miss out on this potentially great game.

[wissam]

LMAO. like I care anymore. the game is almost like a vaporware. And how much will
they delay it to port it to x360. maybe 2012.

[saint_seya]

the only think that could surprise me now from square is that this game end up been really good.. that would make me happy even if is multiplatform, i really dont care if 360 users get this game or not, but im worried about the latest games from square and their low quality. hope its a good game, but im afraid that it wont be good.. i would love to c an amazing hd square enix game.. but i think the word amazing and hd its not realted with square (at least not yet and im hoping for that to change)

Naughty Dogs job listings list 360 experience too. I mean, of course they do... doesn't mean there games are going to be on 360 though. lol

[Paracelsus]

Why would they hire PS3-only developers if they company is planning to make mostly multiplatform games? It's not like they will fire those people after Versus.

[Raoh]

it was big news the first time, lightning isnt going to strike twice with this news.. only the game sites who want the controversy for hits really care at this point.

I refuse to play the game with them.

[Gamer_Z]

please god NO!!! I give up on FF forever if this comes out on xbox 360. I want a ture FF masterpiece not another gimped FF game. Damn Microsoft is holding back this gen with their crappy, faulty, last gen hardware! its sad that developers cant realize there creations true potential because of lock of storage on the xbox 360 and No 8gigs of memory is not enough for a game anymore espacaily a game as grand as Final Fantasy

[maverick40]

square enix STFU and GTFO. Ye have a lost a long term fan. Atlus are now the kings.

[kwyjibo]

Great argument there guys.

[Whitey2k]

Wada you Crazy fool quit your Jibber Jabba and keep that game on one platform Dont Cry like a baby unwarp that bar and have some nut fool

[devilmaycry2020]

Is when they say its an exclusive and then after a while it goes multi-platform.
Please stop laying and just say the truth for once SE.

[Biggunz]

if it's anything like FF13, M$ can go ahead and have exclusive rights to it! FF13 SUCKED!

[nephalti]

they might be hiring for the final chapter of the
Fabula Nova Crystallis.

[Hyperbomb69]

I was pretty pissed off when they announced FF13 for xbox, its like wtf? a true final fantasy is an exclusive one to playstation...
I think Wada is gonna screw things up again and announce it for xbox...
I really hope not but at this point im pretty much just waiting for wada to mess up again like he did with FF13....

yeah 5 discs this time xbox...

[MechaGear]

"もしくは" means "or"
They're just looking for experienced people.

[KonigXero]

If Versus goes multi-plat, SE is officially a traitor to Sony.

This may sound funny but..the fact that a Final Fantasy game is a Sony-console exclusive is what makes it amazing and worthy of being in the history books. Or in this case, it's what WOULD make it amazing. SE, your downfall is inevitable you money-hungry b4stards.
