    * Being developed on PS3 platform first in international Sony headquarters of Japan

    * Getting ported to inferior console rife with hidden charges, unreliable engineering and partially human executives who are probably splicing their own bodies with unethical augmentations as we speak

    * Getting ported by Japanese developers who secretly despise the American marketplace and want MS to fail

    * Cinematics sprinkled with subtle edits that depict typical overweight US teenagers screaming into 360 headsets offensive racial remarks and homophobic insults as they chainsaw each other to death online, a symbolic allusion to the inner self-hatred all 16-year-old 360 owners share

    P.S go into your profile and change your stance to sony fanboy, since your obviously one.

    I wonder if the 360 version will have exclusive DLC where you can chainsaw other players apart online.

    But, like, in tactical turn-based chainsaw battles with cool limit break chainsaw summons.

    How about this nugget. People like money. If it's good on both then they'll make more money. Therefore, it'll probably be good on both.

    I actually wouldn't mind it coming on PC really, but if it's mind-blowingly good then I will have to fork out for a 360.

    They'll be the same game.
    Difference:
    Bluray is pretty much guaranteed to be on one disc.
    Xbox may be on multiple discs, but you can load it onto your HD if you have a 120 gb one, and then you only need the first disc anyways.

    Everything else will be exactly the same.

    So many people say that, oh we're just whining it will be great on both systems, no okay! Look if the company has been developing the game for the ps3 for this long and now they're going to start developing for the 360 and then come out with them at the same time then there's only one way that's going to happen. That way is that they are going to pour all their resources into making ff13 on the 360, which will of been in development for much shorter, equal to the ps3 version which in the end are resources that could of been used to make the ps3 version better. So overall this takes away from the ps3 version and even if they were scaling up for this development they're still not going to even be allowed to make it any better on the ps3 because microsoft is paying them off so much, it's just evil the way that square enix is willing to sell out the quality of their games.

    As far as I know Square said that they are developing it on the PS3 first... and after they complete the PS3 version they'll start developing it on the 360.

    I'm willing to bet they will have negligible differences at best.  The PS3 will have an install, I have no doubt in my mind.  The 360 version will probably be 4 discs like Lost Odyssey, totally not a big deal.

    I doubt they will look the same the ps3 version has to look far superior, consider that its been in development pretty much as long as MGS4, so that means that it will look pretty much similar if not better, and I honestly don't think that the 360 can handle that. Ultimately it will be the same game jsut shinier on the ps3.

    I mean sure they may go he compression route or put the game on more than one disc but nothing noticeable. Are gamers really too lazy now to get up once or twice in a 40+ hour game and change a disc?

    they have so little time to develop for the 360 that it either has to be worse or if it isn't it's just because microsoft is paying them to make the ps3 version worse.

    If there's any difference it will just be that the 360 version is on multiple discs and and the PS3 version is not.

    EDIT: The pre-rendered cutscenes might have a tad higher fidelity on PS3 due to the extra disc space that lets them keep the videos relatively uncompressed.

    Wow, such absolutism. With a statement like that one can only deduce that you are clearly are an xbox fanboy... Or something...

    As for the TC and his equally bold statements. Uhm. Wow. None of what you wrote will happen due to how this game is being developed. Or how any modern muliti platform game is developed. The Crystal Tool development engine was written to be a multi-platform engine: PC/PS3/Xbox 360. Let's go through TC statements point by point:

    * Being developed on PS3 platform first in international Sony headquarters of Japan

    It's true development started first on the PS3. But so did development for other games... Such as Assassins Creed... And Devil May Cry 4, and other games, none of which showed any earth shattering changes between platforms. If anything history points to PS3 ports sadly having more instances of problems.

    * Getting ported to inferior console rife with hidden charges, unreliable engineering and partially human executives who are probably splicing their own bodies with unethical augmentations as we speak
    What? What hidden charges? The 360 does have hardware issues but seldom do they affect games... Just the hardware... Unethical augmentations? What is this Bioshock?

    * Getting ported by Japanese developers who secretly despise the American marketplace and want MS to fail
    Grab your tin foil hat? The 360 has a larger install base in NA. Square wants to make more money in NA. Square has no incentive from a business standpoint to secretly wish the demise of the platform they are already making games on. (Last Remnant/ Unlimited Undiscovery/ Star Ocean 4)

    * Cinematics sprinkled with subtle edits that depict typical overweight US teenagers screaming into 360 headsets offensive racial remarks and homophobic insults as they chainsaw each other to death online, a symbolic allusion to the inner self-hatred all 16-year-old 360 owners share
    This thread is an insult to my intelligence.

    360, because I'll be able to buy it and I wouldn't be able to buy a PS3 one.

    Actually- Would the 360 one be cheaper cos it's not on Blu-Ray?

    ReTarDedFisHy thinks it'd be almost exactly the same except for multiple discs for the 360. PS3 may be a little better considering they've only just announced the 360 version. But hey, there's still plenty of time, so you never know ;D

    I think both will be good in different ways. The PS3 will not have to go through multiple discs, but the 360 will have achievements, which will add more replay value to the title. The 360 might also have DLC(if SE decides to do it).

    It will most likely be the same, if there is a difference it will be that the 360 version has more than one disc. That's pretty much the only potential dfference I can see.

    If anything, the 360 version might be split up into multiple discs. But big deal. At least now everyone will be able to enjoy the game regardless of console.

    The PS3 version will most likely have somewhat better graphic and sound fidelity do to compression (or lack thereof). PS3 version will come on one disc, and will probably require an install of some sort. PS3 version will almost certainly have faster load times. 360 version will probably ship on multiple discs. 360 version will probably not require an install, but may have an option for one to help with load times.
    I don't own a 360 anymore, so I'll be playing this on the PS3 regardless, but i do believe this is a title that will be better on the PS3 to a noticable degree.
    Either way, win for gamers. This one looks like a marked improvment over the last few. (8,10, 12 were snoozers IMO. 9 was alright, but not all that)

    I think they'll be the same no differences between both versions except 360 might have multiple discs other then that Im pretty sure there wont be any other differences between the versions.

    Disregarding the original poster's comments and just going off the title of the thread; Yeah it will be on multiple discs on the 360, but the end result (in a technical view) will have minor differences between the two platforms.

    I trust that SE will work just as hard on the 360 version making graphical improvements where they can. I never like to sell them short, in my view they've worked hard on every game and I've thoroughly enjoyed every final fantasy (or others from SE) that I've played.

    If I get a PS3 by that time, I might buy it for that system; if not then I'll get it on the 360. SE hasn't failed 'me' yet so I'm not worried.

    Once again, they're going to be the same.  Notice how pretty much all other games look the same?
    Well considering how high profile this game is, I'm sure it'll be treated well on both.

    And PS3 fanboys, by saying that the 360 version will suck (or vice versa), you're essentially saying that the developers suck, basically.  Not exactly something to be proud of
    Edit: but the 360 version will come on multiple disks.  I don't think anyone has a problem with this.  I sort of like it, it makes the game feel more epicy.  Not a huge deal, but I did like having 4 disks in Lost Odyssey and 3 for blue dragon.

    I think that some people actually over-estimate the capabilities of the PS3. While I do agree that it's a more powerful machine, I don't think it's by a significant margin. I expect both versions to look the same.

    I don't care, before, I didn't had the possibility of getting it because I don't have a PS3, now it will be on 360 as well so I don't care as long as i get it. :)
