I added that because at the time there was doubt about why the content was cut.

Ahh I see~

It would be stupid for Square to not grow the brand by not putting it on 360. I'm buying

Putting it on the 360 isnt growing the brand. Its selling it out and in some ways making negative compromises.

You call 2 million plus 360 sales not growing the brand? I do not think there is more then 2,000,000 deranged Sony fanboys sitting around with there "360 fault FF XIII sux" conspiracy theories. I would guess maybe 20,000 of those morons.

It was not cause of the 360. http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/3064 ... y_XIII.php This is why XIII "sucked". At least in other peoples opinions.

If you want to play HD JRPGs, then buy a PS3. The PS3 is the natural place for jrpgs since they sell quite well on the system in Japan.

And when you consider those 2 million copies were barely what was sold on the ps3 The best thing they could do is market more to people who own ps3's

[SinZinDetta]

Yeah because the brand needed to be grown on 360. Look at Bioware when they finally went to PS3 with Dragon Age. About the same difference because Bioware already grew the rep on Xbox where it was new to PS3. Same with Final Fantasy.

And I bet Square is very glad they got those extra 2 million plus sales. I am sure it helped them financially where if it was a PS3 exclusive they would be in some trouble because they would of not made as much money leading to...

[stealth20k]

Not if those 2 million sales didnt break the costs of producing on the 360. And I am sure they made all the money they needed on the ps3 considering because of the ps3 it was the fastest selling FF ever

And Nothing is helping them financially right now. Individual game sales make little dent

Exactly. Because Japanese games belong on Japanese consoles.

I'm glad you understand

I agree mostly

Wow, this game is still being made? I thought this had been buried years ago... Ooooh, right it's just Square Enix's stupid habit to announce their games 4-5 years before they get released.

This game announced at the same time with FFXIII and Agito (which is Type-0 now). FFXIII has been released to the point that FFXIII-2 has announced its released date. Type-0 is going to release any time soon too. If this is a bad habit, this should be the worst one.

It shouldn't occur again though. They now have a policy stating games should be out by 2 years.

Let's hope they keep that, though I wouldn't be upset if a game took three years.
