Thread: What do you think are the chances of a real FF game appearing on the X360?

Let's toss our fanboy thoughts aside and let's ignore the rumors.
Taking into account the recent shocking moves by the Japanese developments teams, what are the chances of seeing Final Fantasy XIII (not Versus, not Agito, not whatever) on any platform other than the Playstation 3?
Look at what Capcom is doing. Isn't it flabbergasting? Heck, Lost Planet and DMC4 for the personal computer!? No one saw that coming, really.
Then there's Sega, releasing games like Virtua Tennis 3 on the PC on the same day it's released on consoles.
Do you think Square-Enix will follow their steps?

lol at your title typo Jyuu! "appeaing" xD

As for FFXIII, I still think they're going to stick to being exclusive to PS3 only because it will be the first FF game on the new consoles. Eventually I think it'll change, but as of right now I don't think so. Plus Sega and Capcom haven't been doing as great as Square.

I think that with the cost of development these days, we are going to see a lot less permanent exclusives. As for weather we see FFXIII on another console or on PC, I'm not making any bets, but I do hope it goes cross platform.

maybe 50%
if it can go to Sony, and Nintendo, then its possibly it can go to Xbox360.

but its going to take some before that thought even reaches them maybe..

I doubt it will, FF was always a good trump card for Sony and FFXIII seems like it will be an exclusive for a long time. Then again, what do I know?

So was DMC, VF and the other 25000 games that are appearing on other systems.

Well Sony will probably have exclusive rights like it did with GTA, but eventualy M$ will just buy FF from them. I see the game coming to 360 in about a year after it comes out for PS3.

70% for appearing on the XBoX imho. FF 13 will cost (or already costs ) a lot in developement I guess, so they got to make some money out of it.

With the amount of money that games cost, to make an exclusive. It would be counter productive. Unless Sony is going start to underwrite some of the developement cost. Games are going made for all consoles.

I'm sure we'll see FF games for Microsoft consoles, but one in the continuing series?

...Yes. Not too far into the future, either. After they make some random FF game for the 360, though.
