    Final Fantasy XIII

    Game » consists of 17 releases. Released Mar 09, 2010

    This entry into the Final Fantasy universe is set in the worlds of Pulse and Cocoon. Players take control of multiple characters who are caught in a war between these worlds.

    So... this will be the game that causes me to get a PS3.

    Yep, right now I am rocking the PS2, the Wii, and my trusty PC, where I do all my serious gaming these days (Oblivion, Fallout 3, Mass Effect and Dragon Age). 
     
    But I have never missed a Final Fantasy game. 
     
    It really depresses me a little that I am 100% committed to paying almost 400 bucks to play a single game. 
     
    But uh, its not exactly going to stop me either ;)

    The series does not deserve your loyalty. Don't do it.

    @Meowayne: I dunno, I have enjoyed the last few FF games. 
     
    I hear a lot of people that have soured on them, but I liked FF XII, and I even liked FF X-2.  
     
    Maybe I'm a mindless fanboy, or maybe its stockholm syndrome, but I still feel like the series was good through the PS2 era :)

    SPOILER: It's probably a bit like all those other Final Fantasys.

    Plus there is Final Fantasy Versus XIII. 
      
    There is a lot more really great games too.

    Oh yeah, I'm not saying I plan on never buying another game for it ever. Heck, members of my household are HUGE Ratchet and Clank fans, so this has been building for awhile anyway. 
     
    I just needed that nudge to make me finally commit, mostly because the games I was really dying to play keep coming to my PC ;) 
     
    Infamous has been nagging at me for awhile though.

    He doesn't have a 360, from the op.  So he has to get a new system either way. 
    May aswell get the one with better unique games. (note, I own both systems and Like both).

    I've enjoyed the hell out of every Final Fantasy game in the main series that I've played (4, 7-10, X-2, 12), and I can see buying a PS3 for it if I didn't already have one.  I'm with ya, man.

    well if he has a PC he doesn't need a 360 as much as a PS3, because most of the 360 "exclusives" are also on PC.
    seriously, there's so many good exclusives for PS3 that you don't get anywhere else, you should just buy one period, and since you're a big FF fan, why the fuck not at this point?

    Get it on the PS3. Why? Because at this point FFXIII Versus is still an exclusive on the PS3. Seeing how this guy never misses out on a FF game; the PS3 is your best bet.
     
    Besides some people feel a little weird out to play a Final Fantasy on something that's not PlayStation. Kind of weird since FF started off with Nintendo first.

    Well, hopefully this one day results in you playing Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, the REAL reason to own a Playstation 3. And uh, you know FF XIII isn't even exclusive right?

    I did consider a 360 btw. I just looked at the consoles and realized the 360 games that were really intriguing to me I had already played (Oblivion, Fallout 3, Mass Effect). 
     
    On the other hand, as others have mentioned the PS3 games that interest me most (Infamous, Uncharted) don't seem likely to show up anywhere else.

    I'm a huge fan of the old school FF games, but I think the series kind of jumped the shark somewhere around FFX.

    Oh don't mind this guy, he always has to cheer the 360 on. 
     
     
    @Vigilance: I say go for it, you obviously got some kind of gaming rig going on to play mass effect, fallout 3 etc, and quite frankly there is no reason to get a 360 when most of these "exclusives" on the 360 are also on the PC. But if you didn't have a good PC the story might be different.

    To me it seems crazy to willingly not own a PS3 and / especially or a 360.  Come for the FF13, stay for the everything else.

    Well the 360 version will be an port from PS3. If I got to choose I would choose the console the game was developed for.

    Will have to wait and see on the differences/amount of discs, but I'm leaning towards getting the PS3 version of Final Fantasy XIII myself, as of right now... even though I've mostly been buying multiplatform games on the XBOX 360 lately. 
     
    Also, the PS3 has Disgaea 3, which is still one of my personal favorite games of this generation.

    Final Fantasy Versus XIII is still PS3-exclusive.
     
     
    I'd say go with a PS3.
