    Im the only feeling slapped in the face, by this? seriously I had no idea.

    I knew that square was going to release FF for xbox2 (FF has never been console exclusive) but this? ouch this is 10 times worst than when RARE went to MS. next thing we know Konami,Namco and Capcom get exclusive contracts.
