who gives a sh@t about this final fantasy anyway.

now when will we be hearing something similar to this from Konami?

Were is that certain xbot that keeps saying "oh yeah watch FFXIII & MGS4 are coming to the 360" whats that's guys name again??? Actually there are a few xbots saying that crap!
Anyways I'm kinda suprised by this, I thought the 360 would get one of the re-makes but guess not!

PS: FFVII comes out Jan 1st,2009 - PS3 exclusive (keep the dream alive!)

nobizlikesnowbiz (Bellow):
Sorry but MGS is a proven franchise, although Bioshock looks interesting, you would have to do better, allot better!
I want Bioshock, 50 million in unmarked bills, and a case of Heineken!
Then I'll talk Konami & Kojima into porting over MGS4!

I have to admit though Bioshock looks to be real interesting!

" Strong words from Hashimoto, although perhaps if everyone goes out and buys Last Remnant, Square Enix will have a change of heart."

I wonder if things will change, after this game hits...makes you wonder.

I wait patiently.

I guess that means next week will get to talk about how there's a rumor about FFXIII coming out on the 360!

Well glad they said something about it. Square-Enix is still showing the love to 360 just not the FF games. Heck they are only giving Nintendo consoles a mock FF.

As far as 'I guess SE doesn't like money' that's really silly seeing that the most buyers of the FF name brand are say... Japanese! Seeing that the PS3 is doing better than the 360 there I don't think SE has to worry about FFXIII not selling.

i can finally stop playing motorstorm
its coming out soon right???

Good luck with that Last Remnant on the 360 Square you are going to need it. Now is this where all the fanboys stand in a circle and jerk each other off? I see from the comments above some of them are already lining up..

I don't know why you guys want ff so bad, i mean you got blue dragon, lost odyssey, last remnant(which is squares ultimate next gen move) and mass effect(i admit bioware is the most funtastic rpg developer in the world and i really really want this game) don't be greedy just leave it alone

TRADE YOU FINAL FANTASY FOR MASS EFFECT, HOW ABOUT IT....

OH NOOOO!

The game is for pussies, It usually gets the Emo's playing.

If by soon you mean in a year or so then yeah, it's coming out real soon :P

I am a big final fantasy fan but I own a 360. Although FF are great games and I don't think anyone can deny that, I would not spend that much money on a console with 1 game that I like when there are so many good upcoming RPGs for the 360.

What a relief, no trasgender looking guys running around with overly sized swords on my 360 thank you very much. (ALL smiles and grins baby) Only manly RPGs on this side, let the French have this thier girlyboys anyway. (4hrs of CGI movies fight one battle 4 more hrs of CGI movies rinse and reapeat for 900 more hrs)

naw, how about we give em a compilation of ff nes games for mass effect

has been put to rest. I own all 3 consoles but even if FFXIII went multiplat i'd still buy if for the PS3. FFXIII will move many PS3 consoles. But 360 still gets some love for Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey! Wii well the jury is out on that one.

Well, I guess I will have to pay $599 + $60 to play this game.
I would rather pay $60 instead, but what can I do I am a fan of the IP. Now that I will be buying a PS3 when this game comes out.. I hope Metal Gear is also a PS3 exclusive or it may endup on ebay too soon.
Though I am starting to grow some interest in other games like warhawk and well... only warhawk for now.

I think in some way Square Enix,has lost the touch of the FF series,I played FF 12 at first was fun but later the story of the game got me bored and the gameplay too,don't get me wrong FF is one of the best game in history but since FF 10 the series for me its not the same.For what I saw in FF 13, its going the same direction as FF 12,thats my opinion.

oh well. It's square that's going to be losing money. Not to mention the games just seem to get worse and worse now. I can't wait for lost odyssey and Cry on, I think that the FF thrown is on it's way down.

Even though square has come out and said "NO", we all know the Xrobots will still say "YES" it will, just like they've done with MGS4....Pathetic souls they are.

Please don't hate me, or call me names because my feeling will be hurt.

Thank you in advance......HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH A

Fuking LOSERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!

I'm such an a-hole, I know...Crap now I've hurt my own feelings :(

Now that will shut up xbots..lol. a lot of them is gettin emotionally hurt by this news..all of the sudden final fantasy sucks..lmao..here is tissue cry me a river!!

Man how stupid are xbots!
MGS4 and FFIIIX have been have been confirmed exclusive many times but Xbots are too daft to understand whats just been said.
nobizlikesnowbiz just one problem there mate, Bioshock can be done on the PS3 but MGS4 cant be done on the 360.
KEEP DREAMING

but for all those who only own a 360, all I have to say is NO SOUP FOR YOU!!!!

thats funny some weeks ago 360 fans were very happy cus they thought ff would go to 360... and it would not be a exclusive anymore!...i think that was yeasterday....now that this article came out xbots don't like FF...this series are classics...and it's the best thing that any console could have...

by the way all FF rocks...

i really want to see when MG4 stay only in ps3...xbots will say that the game sucks too and they have better bla bla bla....stupid jerks...

by the way kojima has already confirmed that the game is just for sony plataform...that more than 1 mounth ago...or did you forgot?

well....theres one good game for the ps3
slow, but good start

FFXIII Heraisis on 360

No amount of mass effect, bioshock, too human, lost odyssey, blue dragon, eternal sonata or cry on will save Xbox 360 from Final Fantasy being PS3 exclusive.

Don't worry though, I guess no amount of Resistance Fall of Man, Resistance Rise of Man, Killzone, and Haze can save PS3 from Halo 3.

What if the pain don't ease and i lie to myself constantly and
feel like i'm not worth a 100 but i can prob do......ummmmmmmmmmmmm........ . 50?

200 posts by tomorrow or I'm going to be disappointed.

People, gaming is a business. This is a classic gambit.

"As for FF on the Xbox 360, it's currently a completely blank page."?
This is a meaningless statement. It's posturing. Squenix knows it has a valuable ip on its hands and they are using the media to manipulate their position.

Recognize these statements?
Sony: rumble is last gen (until immersion reduces their lawsuit)
Ubisoft: Assasin's Creed is exclusive to ps3 (until ms ponies up)
Capcom: Devil May Cry is ps3 exclusive (until ms ponies up)
2k games: bioshock is 360 exclusive (unless sony ponies up)

It's strategic economics of the gaming business. 3 seconds after the statement it could have changed to "3 FF titles on the page" if MS happened to offer the right dollar amount and the previous statement would still be true for the time it was said. That is what this is all about. If you don't think that squenix and ms are in negotiations right now then you are a fool. The negotiations could very easily be a waste of time for ms and squenix but could just as easily bear fruit.

Come on people, time to look through the haze of what you want to believe and see the world for what it is. The simple truth is that every non-first party title out there is up for purchase at the right price regardless of platform and sony, microsoft and nintendo are out there right now doing just that, trying to secure an exclusive or draw a current competitor exclusive into multiplat.

Please. This always happens in 2 days there will be a rumor that final fantasy is coming to the 360 and not only that but liquid snake is the villan

FF13 will do for ps3...what FF7 did for PSone...and will do what FF10 did for ps2...save the console...

Deep what is this game you speak of I've only heard of 2 FXIII games

i wonder if square are p1ssed at Microsoft as sakaguchi (you know who it is) is making 3 exclusive jrpg 360 games.
blue dragon.
lost odyssey.
cry on.

maybe they want to get back at mistwalker.
i know the new guy is trying to differentiate his style from sakaguchi.

they decided what system they wanted to put the games on and now it's: i didn't want it anyway......it sucked since this.......they must don't want money.....

done.no more rumors of this game.will there be rpgs by square for 360?you can bet your bottom dollar.it's just not ffxiii or vsxiii.

when companies decided to make games exclusive to 360,it was hahahahaha.now you're crying.man up.get some nads.i'm not crying over mass effect.and i want mass effect.but i'm not whining about it.if metal gear4 stays exclusive too,don't start pulling out more tissue.

buy the systems for their exclusives or stop complaining and whining about it.

and again,i'm not all excited about dmc4 because hideki kamiya and shinji makami(dmc1) arent making it.not because it's multiplatform.

I am sad its not coming to the 360 i haven't played a FF since 9 and they would have so had my money but hey if they don't want to bring it they don't want to, Remanent still looks good.

saying the topic is over, and the rumor is over...ect

are you people blind? do you know how many times square has said there wont be a final fantasy on 360? and the rumor has presisted because square themselves have bolstered it?

LOL thank god there is no final fantasy on 360 in my opinion, Cause final fantasy sux now.

But then again, we all knew (I think) this was going to be a PS3 exclusive anyway, it was just a matter of time. Clearly there's no good angle for the 360 on this story, but I am interested in seeing how this game turns out when it's released.

Also, I think it is a very bold move of them by announcing not just that they are releasing FFXIII on the PS3 only, but that not a single FF game on the 360 is in the works.

Ok now that's settled...how about making us, the ff fans, happy by announcing that they finally decided for a ff7 remake?....cmon square be nice....

its like guitar hero 3.
its not harmonix anymore so.............

i think the 3 mistwalker jrpg's on 360 will be better.

then again that wont stop me from getting ff13 as my ps3 is getting lonely.

LMAO NOW FF sucks to 360 owners...AGAIN!Just weeks ago it was," damn ff13 looks great, I can't wait to play it on my 360"!;)....Now it's."FF games suck and Mass Effect will blow it out of the water"!lmao this is just to funny!

lol ok Mass Effect WILL still blow it out of the water there was no disagreement in the 360 circle over that

Its lame. There are plenty of better RPGs out there. Elder Scrolls, KOTOR 1&2, Mass Effect etc...

If they did brought it to the 360 it will do bad, you knwo why?because the White egine is biult for the PS3 and, the fanbase is not there for the game,SO all this they will lose more mony BS can die

then i will say ff sucks.when i talk to gamers playing them and they stop saying how epic the ff games are,then i will say it sucks.

but right now,they don't.and so far they are exclusive.

360 may get an epic dragonquest game.most of you don't know what square-enix are doing for 360.

but you will at E3.

clap clap clap clap, sony-sony boboney, bonana-nana boboney...

FF series is for homos. So is just about every other RPG.

I was getting sick of the eharing about it, I never liked the FF franchise in the first place, so good to here.

Its about time square straightens us out. Dosent the 360 have enough games? Give it up and move on people.

Please see attached pic for comment thank you have a nice come back again.

who cares, this series is not that great anyways. is as bad as devil may cry.

they hid the damn link only in the 360 section ROFL

wow you guys are pathetic

360 will get their own version of ff but not the ps3 1 . everybody wins

Is Final Fantasy and MGS 4. If they lost those two games, the last possible reason (for a lot of people) to get a PS3 is gone... so Sony better pay what ever it takes to keep them PS3 exclusive. Eventually, enough PS3 only titles will be out - new Ratchet and Clank, Drake's Fortune, Heavenly Sword, Lair, etc. But until these games start coming out... I mean, seriously, if Square announced that FF XIII was going to be coming to 360 (no way, of course, as this is "the" game that blu-ray and its extra storage space was made for) and Konami announced the same about MGS 4 (far more likely, after a timed exclusive on PS3) RIGHT NOW, it would be a one-two punch to Sony that just might put them on the mat. Look how poorly the PS3 is selling in Japan, even! So-- of course there is nothing to announce AT THIS TIME, but if PS3 sales keep sucking, perhaps FFXIII will end up on the Wii...

That just leaves the loose end of MGS 4 to tie up.
Which will probably not go to the 360 for a while if it does, which it probably won't

that FF XIII is being developed too take full advantage of the PS3's hardware arsenal. :)

This isn’t too surprising being that Sony is the 4th largest shareholder for Square Enix. So one would think Square Enix has some vested interest in insuring the PS3’s success; letting FF go to the Xbox360 surely not help with that goal. I’m just surprised it took them so long to announce this.

mass effect for me

All i have to say in this, when SCEE VP said that they're at discussing with Square enix with final fantasy means they are willing to pay exclusive deals for it, not final fantasy is coming to xbox360. Well if they're willing to pay, they have the right to have it exclusive.

Another thing in discussion is also MSG4 and i believe sony is willing to pay for the top 2 as what VP said.

if FFXIII and MSG4 in Sony exclusive, Microsoft can kiss europe and japan market goodbye. Mass Effect and Halo can't save them in those area.

Well lets view what he says:

""As for FF on the Xbox 360, it's currently a completely blank page."

A blank page, is a page that can also be written in the -nearby- future.

Which means, they can write on it any time. That doesn't sound to me like: the 360 won't be getting any at any time. It says to me, that at this point in time they are not confirming and not excluding anything. Paid by Sony maybe to say so the coming time?

@ BitbyDeath (below)

Nah actually it doesn't say that also. He stated at this point in time which console was planned what FF for and the 360 is a blank page. Exactly what I say above. A blank page can even be written on FFXIII, even not a port. As you might know, games are made on PC's these days and then optimized for a specific platform.

YAY I hated those games anyway. I'm glad. 360 ROOLZ

Well I'm just glad they said "enough" to kill any speculation, which doesn't surprise me one bit since I've ALWAYS said that I thought FF would stay on the PS3. I thought SE themeselves have announced some spin-off type games but never the actual FF game for 360 and honestly I don't ever think there was and creditable news of this version of FF ever coming to the 360. Admittedly FF series has never been my cup of tea, but maybe I just never gave it a chance. I never really played more than a few hours of 2 of the games in the series on PS2 and really don't remember which ones exactly, because honestly I really hate turned based fighting style games.

Now recently I've had a change of heart, well I still don't "prefer"(like) that style, but I must admit some of these next gen JRPG's like Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey, Folklore and FF look amazing so I'm going to check a few of them out and once again try to see what the hype is all about. -Hey from what what I've heard the combat system in this latest FF game is suppose to be changed anyway, right? (now if they just get rid of all the singing -j/k)....either way I've made up my mind to pick up this latest FF for my PS3 whenever it comes out. -Damm, I must be getting soft these days. -lol

I think there will be A FF game on the 360 just not FF13, same thing goes with MGS. I think there will be a MG game on the 360 just not MGS4!! there to far invested in the Ps3 with these games. but... theres differently a chance of the 360 getting maybe MGS4.5, or FF13.7

You know wat i love about not being a fanboy???? I can safely say that owning both systems gives me the best of both worlds. LOL. On a more serious note now that the verdict is out we can finally get rid of all the rumor posting on this subject......NOT, regardless of whether or not SE confirmed that its PS3 only there will always be Rumors and speculation up until the games release. Welcome to the world of Video Games.

I love bitter tears.

1. FFXIII is exclusive to PS3.
2. FF is not coming to Xbox 360 in any way shape or form.
3. Square>Mistwalker from what we've seen
4. FFXII>FFX, meaning that while FFX was amazing, the FF series has improved. Only FFVI is any good from the "classics" Xbots keep touting. (And that's only because that was when Sakaguchi was fully involved. Such f***ing fanboys you guys are.)
5. FFXIII>Mass Effct in quality and sales (prediction)

Someone said FFXIII and MGS4 are all PS3 has left. Well, that's 2 more big 3rd party exclusives than any other console has, so it's an advantage, considering Sony also has the biggest console franchise - Gran Turismo.

Also, apart from idiots like Mart who come up with batsh*t theories, everyone can finally stop saying FFXIII will come to 360 "mark my words" or some bullsh*t like that. THANK GOD for Square owning your @$$es. Too bad the article's author had to give you false hope by saying Last remnant's sales will change this statement relating to FF.

This is fantastic news for me

Never knew what all the fuss was about; give me Zelda any day.

I will say I do like this. I own both the 360 and PS3. So to know that FFXIII and verses will be pushed to the limit makes me happy.

I will say I am sorry if you are a 360 fan. But at the same time I think you would agree with me on wanting a game that was pushed over a watered down one that will work on both systems.

only a 132 comments?

So, the argument over one console being so much more powerful over another that one game that plays on one is not technically feasible is totally and outright false unless you are talking about the wii. There hasnt been 1 game that the ps3 has come out with that anybody can say blows away anything that the 360 can do. On the other hand, gears of war, a first year 360 title by the way has blown the doors off of anything that you have seen on the ps3 so far. And I'm sure fanboy's argument at this point is that the ps3 havent been out long enough, and I agree. But my point is, for inexperienced people to constantly say that one system is better than the other is just being irresponsible. Now what fanboys would do is list specs and put them side by side and certainly now think that their argument would be justified. Meh, sorry, wrong again! Guys from psu as well as plenty of developers have pretty much said the same thing, and that is both consoles have plenty of power to make produce these games. Ask the brainiacs at psu as well. Power is no longer in the forefront as far as which system is better. It is all about the behind the scenes action going on. And by the way, check the patent office, Square Enix has patented another final fantasy XIII title aside from the 2 announced for the ps3 and the one for the wii. You see, it is all about who have the best strategy and who is the best at persuasion. Persuasion in the form of money and/or even the promise of more money is what wins a console race. Microsoft has already taken the exclusive promise of DMC 4, Ace Combat, Katamari, GTA, as well as other once PS brand games that I can't think of right now. Now, fanboys will argue that the 360 is only selling more because it has been out longer than the ps3. But even though the ps2 came out before the xbox 1, as Sony easily won that console war, nobody mentioned that maybe it coming out earlier was one of the factors to victory. I can go all day, but at the end of the day, you all will find out that Final Fantasy as well as MGS 4 will in fact be coming to the 360. I mean let's say you were s studio exec looking to make as much money as possible. Could you really ignore over 12 million 360 gamers wanting to purchase your software? Knowing that if you would do a multiplatform release, that 360 versions of the game will far outsell ps3 versions simply because there are more players with a 360. And you must remember, not only do these studios have to regain the money spent to develop the game, they also would like to make as big a profit as they can.

There has already been an FF game on the 360. Therefore it should be that "FF is never coming back to the 360"

cheap shot to the fanboys but very true caffman........well done!
