Final Fantasy to remain a Playstation 3 exclusive?
« on: March 23, 2007, 04:30:58 am »

That's been the assumption... but a quote from this Wired blog seems to suggest that it's not actually a done deal, but in discussion.

With Capcom's recent announcement that Devil May Cry 4 will be a 360 title as well, the PS3 is rapidly losing exclusive titles.

And with good reason.  February's NPD numbers (sales for North America) had this to show:

Nintendo DS 485,000
Wii 335,000
PlayStation 2 295,000
Xbox 360 228,000
PlayStation Portable 176,000
Game Boy Advance 136,000
PlayStation 3 127,000
GameCube 24,000
Xbox 480


The PS3 got absolutely killed... and while I still can't find any Wiis on shelves in the local stores, a PS3 is super easy to find, available everywhere and not moving units.

Personally, I hope FF13 isn't an exclusive, because I'd sure like to play it on my 360... and the "White Engine" it will be running on is being developed as a cross-platform engine, last I heard.  So there's hope yet!

It's weird. I still can't find PS3's or Wii in my hometown.

(For some reason, PS3 sells better in Wichita...?)

And I don't know about Final Fantasy. I've sorta gotten burned out from Final Fantasy ever since FF11 which was just HORRIBLE. (Horrible because of death punishment (I tend to die a lot), being chased by monsters which in turn kill me (surprise), not being able to get people in a party, stuff stuff stuff) so I've never really had a chance to check out FF12. x_X

It is certainly possible that FF will be a multi-platform considering FF11 is on 360 as well, but does anyone really still play FF11?

I'm still not all that interested in FF13, honestly, I feel pretty indifferent about it.  My only real interest remains the graphics, which continue to look like they are going to be out of this freaking world.  So this really seems more like a game I'd like to watch someone else play, than play myself.  Everything I've heard about the story sounds cliche and not at all intriguing (though to be fair, I haven't heard very much yet).

The gameplay may yet turn out to be really good.  I heard somewhere that they were trying to make a battle system where you'd be able to pull off the kind of crazy moves we saw in FF7: AC, which sounds awesome... but then, not very RPGish.  Sounds like something that would work better in a God of War/Devil May Cry kind of game.

The game I'm most interested in from Square is probably Kingdom Hearts 3, about which nothing has really been revealed.  But I think Square would be totally fucking bonkers to not release that one multiplatform - the series sells crazy well in the west, so I imagine they'd want it on a system that's actually really popular here (ie. the 360.  Or the Wii!  Now that would rule).

The game I reeeeaaallly wanna see go multiplatform is MGS4, though, goddammit.  Though not being able to play Portable Ops has kind of taught me that I can wait for the price to go down on a PS3, if I absolutely have to.  I guess I don't have to have MGS4 right away.

But I want it.

Well, FF11 being a MMORPG, it's barely even worth thinking of it as a FF game.  It really shouldn't burn you out on the whole series, lol.

Also, we really ought to do a final FF12 thread already.  There's a lot to discuss there that hasn't been, yet - especially what with most of us having beaten it already.  I'll try not to be lazy and start one soon.
