Final Fantasy XIII Is Coming To Xbox 360
An anonymous reader writes "In a stunning change, Square-Enix announced today at Microsoft's E3 press conference that its next iteration in the Final Fantasy series is also coming to Xbox 360." And I just rationalized the PS3 purchase by telling myself that the next FF will require it.

No doubt. Sony! Give me a reason to buy the PS3 please, I want that blu-ray player.
That's okay. Nobody really knows how to program the PS3 anyway.
As you wish. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-uTnqYHZ-I
That's a pretty slim list Sony. Seriously, are you even trying?

IMHO, one player games are dull as hell.
Been playing 'video games' since 1985 or so and one player RPG's have had their day.
I would much rather play a 2 player RPG or better yet, a 10 million player RPG.
Speak for yourself. Having dealt with the "players" of those "10 million player RPGs" I'd rather slam my dick in a car door than play one.
They can give me all the 1 player RPGs they like (though bugger Final Fantasy. Get to work on Dragon Quest 9!)
Cheer up, CmdrTaco!
The PS3 is still a worthwhile investment. It is the only next-generation console with a BluRay drive, and therefore the only console with the capacity to hold the 90 hours of cutscenes that will be in the next Metal Gear Solid game...!
It's programmed? According to the launch time press material from Sony, the PS3 has sexy magical elf babes inside that weave the game in real time directly out of sunshine, the holy spirit and the smiles of kittens.
Doesn't Final Fantasy have FINAL in the title. Just how many sequels can this thing have and still be FINAL. And everytime there is another Final Fantasy made, there is a chance that no talent ass clown Uwe Boll will make a movie out of it.
Doesn't Never Ending Story have NEVER ENDING in the title? Shouldn't we have more sequels to this thing?
Yep. I'm proudly a casual gamer, and I can think of many, many, many things I'd rather do that play through a single player game that last over 9,000 hours. I think releasing it on the 360 is a much smarter idea.
But that's 8,000 hours of cut scenes you're missing.
I forget. What does "casual gamer" mean this week? ;)

It means that you play many games, but you don't expect to buy it and you don't have to call the game the next day.
I have a PS3, I like my PS3, I went to a friends house to play games on his 360, how can you stand the noise that thing makes? I felt like I was in a server room at work.

On the bright side, you only have to live with the noise until the next time your 360 breaks down, then you get a respite while you wait for them to send you another refurbished box.
If you were blocking sigs, you wouldn't have to read this.
Sure Oblivion is great but where is the story, the character development, the iron rails I can follow easily towards the end?
Same with games like Baldur's Gate/Planescape Torment. Choices? Choosing my own destiny? Moral questions? No thanks! FF has its story laid out in front of you, what happens has all been decided. It makes for a far smoother and polished experience.
FF you are playing a movie and some people like that. No, not me, but I also know lots of people don't like Bioware games either.
MMO Quests are like orgasms:
You may solo them, I prefer them in a group.
