    Apparently, according to gamespot, the 360 version has a Crisper in game image, while the PS3 version has better cinematics. This is a complete flip to what sites like IGn have said, where they said the 360 version is noticeably less crisp. I dont know who to believe, I guess I have to wait for comparisons.

    I'll eat my own foot if the PS3 version is worse than the 360 one.

    having more then one disc means any thing? when it comes to how the game  produces the image? as for that its more then a port since square said they had to make a new graphics engine for the 360 version.

    Unless the visual differences between both versions are so major that one version feels inferior to the other, like Bayonetta for example, then I fail to see why it is worth bringing up. The average player is not going to sit there counting pixels and examining either version so closely or in depth.
     
    Saying the in game footage on the 360 is clearer while the cutscenes are clearer on the PS3 just feels like a sad attempt at poking the fanboys into action more than relaying much needed information and coverage of the game that is factually correct and relevant.

    I read that square assures people that the only difference is minor compression for cinematic and the disk number.

    This really doesn't matter.  I had every intention of buying FFXIII on the PS3 after it was announced and my plans never shifted due to the existence of a 360 version.

    This is why I don't want this coming out in NA, you got the idiots who just compare graphics between the two consoles...when the real issue is Square Enix making this shitty game.
     
    So fuck the idiots who care more about TEH 360 HAS GRAPHICS AND POS3 HAS CGI, and open your fucking eyes that Square Enix is just doing it to make this shitty game passable.

    Every topic about Final Fantasy someone jumps in to proclaim that either: 
     a) Final Fantasy is a piece of shit. 
    b) Or that JRPGs are a piece of shit that are falling behind the times.
     
    I swear to god every topic that I have read about JRPGS or Final Fantasy contain this.

    IGN had a side-by-side look at Square's bus event.  Gamespot had to remember what the PS3 version looked like at a Microsoft event.  Clearly there is a difference here, and clearly one side's argument is more justified.

    They will barely look different from one another, its pointless bringing this up. Honestly the people that hold things side by side and go "WOW THAT TEXTURE LOOKS A BIT SHARPER IN THIS VERSION, OTHER IS INFERIOR!" are just dumb. Its rarely ever a significant difference. Bayonetta for instance, is a big difference. Most games unless you pick it apart you won't be able to tell the difference.

    I agree, man. FF-games have been terrible since FF-X. I heard that Nomura is putting someone else in charge of the Final Fantasy games' direction. Can't remember his name though

    If fucking Square takes away Numura's dream game with Versus XIII and makes it similar to this shit in FF13, I will freak out.  Numura said so himself that the true version and most important version is going to be Versus XIII.

    Just bask in the memory that Final Fantasy VII is and always will be the best Final Fantasy game ever made. Until they remake it, in higher definition graphics and 3D holographic projection by 2020.

    I will decide which version I buy, if any, when I walk into a store on March 9th and slap down money. Something tells me that I may get the 360 version because I have a sweet Turtle Beach headset now and the 360 version has points. 
     
    The PS3 version is tempting because my PS3 is basically being ignored except for MAG, which is quite good.

    Well the differences are so minor that it doesn't matter at all really. If I wanted to play, I'd pick achievements over slightly better compressed cutscenes, but really the difference is quite negligible.

    @KaosAngel: I seem to remember you ranting and raving about how we had to import this fantabulous wonder of a game and play it immediately even though we didn't know how to speak box. "Use a guide!" you said, going on about how that wouldn't diminish the experience one bit for which I said thee nay.
    Something truly traumatic must've happened for this change in tone.

    Oh yeah, the wonder and amazement that FF7 gave us back in the day is but a glimmer of nostalgia. You can't go back.
    They'd have to majorly update FF7 to make it tolerable today. FF6 still holds up well and is IMO the best Final Fantasy of them all.
    Then again, I fell off the boat when it came to JRPGs with FF8 so I'm not the best person to wax philosophical about this. 
    Between Xenogears and Persona 4, no JRPG grabbed me. tried everything from Grandia to Lost Odyssey.

    It's not too hard to comprehend really.  The 360 has more VRAM and free FSAA so, as with all multiplatform games, its textures will be higher resolution, the target resolution higher or both at the same time than the PS3 version.  The PS3 has BluRay so the cutscenes which are prerendered will be much higher rate encodes than those stored on two DVD9 DVDs in the 360 rendition.

    *Sigh*
    Really?
    The differences are going to be so minor playing both games individually you would barely notice, Even if you were looking for them. You may be able to tell if you set 2 TVs side by side one on each system playing at the same time, You might catch something that way.
    But really, Who gives a fuck.  Are these minor differences really that much of a selling point for you?
    Shouldn't the gameplay be the selling point, And the graphics just be enjoyable icing on top?
     
    Oh well, I'll just leave you with this.

    FFVI remade would be 100x better.
    I have been wishing for an (almost) exact port with updated graphics of this game since the PS1 came out.

    If fucking Square takes away Numura's dream game with Versus XIII and makes it similar to this shit in FF13, I will freak out.  Numura said so himself that the true version and most important version is going to be Versus XIII. "

    The majority do.  That majority is due to the XBOX 360 having more VRAM.  More VRAM means either higher target res, more detailed texture or both.  Those that don't look better on 360 either have been tweaked on the PS3 to make better use of the Cell's number crunching capabilities or don't hit the PS3's lower VRAM ceiling.  There's no magic going on here, it's just maths.

    @SeriouslyNow:  Technically the 360 doesnt have any VRAM at all.. well apart from that 10meg (i think it's 10) fast memory thing thats on die (don't even remember the name at this point).  The whole system has a 512meg shared memory pool which both the GPU and CPU run off.  PS3 splits that same amount of memory down the middle with 256 megs of Video memory for the GPU and 256 megs System memory for the CPU.  Both have their pitfalls.

    WHY?!  You'll just tell Square you want more games like the shit in FF13 and they'll make Nomura change Versus XIII to be more like FF13!  "
    Because I think the game will be really awesome?  I may end up like you, I may not.  Different folks have different strokes.  So please, stop projecting your disappointment as some kind of universal truth.  We get it, seriously.  You don't like FF13.  Chill.

    I'll probably end up getting both as well. The bundle was enough to tide me into getting a 360 again.

    If you're going to be a dick about then fine; the XBOX 360's UMA is ALL VRAM or ALL system RAM.  The 10MB Framebuffer is a framebuffer and is an adjunct the UMA cache.  Therefore the 360 HAS MORE RAM.  In PC's a framebuffer is an apportion of VRAM which is designated for solely holding the prerended frames prior to piping them out to the display output, yet in the 360 it's totally apart from the rest of the UMA, it's also faster.  The PS3's split RAM design means that it's much harder (read : system intensive) to transfer data between the system's XDR and GDDR3 RAM caches so almost every multiplatform game ends up only utiliising 256MB of GDDR3 RAM for poly/texture/shader/framebuffer duties.  I'm not a fanboy, I'm well aware that each system has differences and all I said back in my first post was that Square likely played to each system's specific strengths, not that the 360 is god's gift to Uranus.

    @SeriouslyNow: Jesus calm down.  I wasn't trying to be a dick, just pointing out that the 360 doesnt have a dedicated video memory source.  And you are quite right about the complicated nature of cross platforming a title when you have tighter memory contraints on a single system, hence why you see titles ported from the 360 version to the PS3 often comming out with lower resolution textures and lower native resolution.  It's much easier to do that then massage your code to split evenly and effectively across 2 memory pools.
     
    Sometimes I don't think my overall attitude towards things comes across well in text, for that I appologize.

     Sorry, I just get frustrated when people seemingly jump down my throat screaming 'fanboy' when I just state the facts.  I shouldn't have taken that context from what you said.
