So the big news of Day 1 at E3 involves the announcement of Final Fantasy XIII going multi-platform. If you read my post, i'm sure you know that I am not happy about this. This is simply because this gives people less of an incentive to purchase the different platforms so why should multiple platforms exist at all? I am still very excited for the game and I am very happy to know that a much wider audience will be able to experience the game but seriously... how can Sony respond to this? The playstation 3 is a great piece of hardware with wonderful capabilities, infinite potential, and what is in my opinion the superior technology (blu-ray). When FFXIII ships next year for the Xbox 360, I am predicting it will be Lost Odyssey all over again with 4 discs in one box. On the PS3 however, I predict the game will fit on 1 disc, 2 at the most. In a live Q & A with posted on Kotaku earlier today with Producer, Yoshinori Kitase and Square Enix representative, Shinji Hashimoto, it was stated that both versions of the game are planned to be identical with production on the Xbox 360 version to start once they finish development in Japan (PS3). Apparently the game will only be released on the PS3 in Japan because of the smaller install base of the Xbox 360 there. (hmm maybe I should move to Japan)
Curiously enough, it seems that FF Versus XIII is still a PS3 exclusive! I hope that this remains this way and I pray to god that Sony responds with some amazing news at tomorrows press conference.

I feel the same way man. I am starting to wonder how Sony will deal with how the FF franchise is going, but at the same time, I am enjoying the fact that other ppl who don't own a ps3 will be able to enjoy FF.
It is good for people who don't have a PS3 to enjoy FF, but this just adds more stupidity to the already dumb console wars.
a good start would be to announce ffvii remake for ps3
all would be forgiven by ps3 fanboys everywhere.
Mistwalker probably was like... "OH KNOWS WE FAWKED!"...when they heard about FF13 on 360. XD I really hope for a FF7 remake and possibly some gameplay from FFVersus13.
This is disappointing to me as well, as the Final Fantasy series is one of the reasons the Playstation has always been my console. Side note: We don't need a FF7 remake... come on. :P
i dont see it as a bad thing, it just means more people can play the games.
