Trust me, you will want to get the PS3 version.
And I know you're a massive FF fan (Rightly so), so I'm guessing you want to play FF Versus XIII?
You won't be getting that on 360!
And I can't believe that once the PS3 version is finished (Ready to play!!) we have to wait for it to be ported to the 360
How long does porting usually take? I hope they do a really shit job and just get it out asap.
Can't wait for the demo though

They have always been staggered in release, with Japan first, then North America when done in English, and then Europe when done in the other main languages. 4-8 months between each one. You can always import the Japanese version.
Final Fantasy VII was:
Japan: January 1997
North America: September 1997
Europe: November 1997

I suppose, but they were talking about releasing it simultaneously world-wide. And I don't fancy importing the Jap version, I'll end up using Curaga on a Boss and Firaga on me!
You'll assume wrong!
Or to be precise, 私の死体に
There's something slightly amusing about this photo. I can't quite put my finger on it though.
Best Buy?
Hannah Montana not on a Nintendo platform?
What! Oh no, they've lost exclusivity. fecking shocking, although I bet Nintendo still get Hannah Montana: spotlight versus. That's the one the fanboys really want.
Apparently.
Do you agree with me Lambs me boogie that maybe FF XIII is a mainly linear game and XIII versus isn't? Thus the multiple DVD thing would not work?

Although the FF series is linear in a seemingly open world, the ability is always there to move back and forth at will, so if 13 needs disc swapping and possibly installation, I don't see why versus would be different.
Then again I've paid absolutely no interest so far in this, so is there something about versus specifically you think won't work? Or is it just the disc swapping?
It is disc swapping, but what I mean is if it totally changes the way FF games have previously worked? It is more sandbox rather than linear paths (even if multiple)? GTA meets Final Fantasy.
It's just something that got me thinking - that a report out of the SQEnix event said that it was seen that they have now shown a part of the old trailer for versus and it's no longer film quality pre-render but realtime. This is odd for a FF set piece. Maybe it will be the first FF since the Playstation days to not use FMV? I'm not saying that it will lack cutscenes, MGS4 has those, but they were apart from two (I think) rendered in realtime.
It's all speculation of course, but if S-E made such an announcement over XIII (the main game in the series) going to XB360, why not versus as well. It makes no sense, unless it was sandbox.

Has FF never been multiple disc before? I can't remember. Anyway it may be a pain to do, but I don't think disc swapping will really affect how linear the game is.
I can't remember the likes of crystal chronicles having that much fmv to be honest, although it's been a while so I may be wrong.
All FF games have been sandbox to some extent, I doubt anything would change that. I'm wondering if Sony have still actually paid for exclusivity on that one. IIRC isn't FF13 supposed to be in three parts, not two? Having only one going to the 360 isn't as big a blow as some fanboys make out in that case, because anyone who wants the complete experience would need a PS3 anyway?
Now that I agree with all this versus/spin off shit anyway, why dilute it all?
AFAIR FF VII was on 3 or 4 CD-ROMs Lambs. I think that XII was on a single DVD.
That many? I can't remember, I'll have to dig mine out.
Anyway disc swapping didn't seem to stop that game letting you go wherever whenever you liked (although the main story was much more linear than it should have been).
Is this just a major retailer feckup?
It can't be it being placed on the PS Store, surely, why would a retailer advertise that?

The mystery deepens........
Perhaps this ws the new major PS3 exclusive? I mean it did get leaked on the 3rd August?
Or perhaps I'm just dreaming too much.

VII was 3 disks, VIII was 4, not sure about IX, X was one DVD, X-2 was one and XII was one.
As far as I know XIII will be on one, and 10 on the 360.
We can only hope.
I think my sperm count would be permanently slashed in half if FF7 were to be remade.
I'm off to play FF7 now, i've delayed it for far too long.

9 was 4 discs.
I thought the remake and/or games in the universe of 7 was common knowledge?
All that has been shown for PS3 was a tech demo at E3 some years ago, and that was thought to simply be a demonstration of the White Engine (now renamed) for XIII.
I cannot believe they are going to just release a PS3 remake of FF7, not a spinoff, but FF7 without even saying so. This prospect has had FF fans salivating at the mouth for years.
Allowing you to buy it on the PS Store, fair enough, but why would a retailer need to promote that?
I was of the belief that continuation of the world of 7 was a definite, I think they said it at the time too.
As for the remake, I think it does hold some water since for a very large slice of the fanbase, that's where FF started for them. Remaking it would take a smaller team and I think it would sell shitloads, easily as much as the current versions do.
I just hope they leave 6 alone though, that just needs to stand as it was.
What people are hoping for is a remake, although what that means I don't know. They could make it an entirely different game with the technology of today, I would not think it would be a simple job of upgrading the graphics and sound, would it?
This is the tech demo (or part of it)...

Agreed. I left 6 too late but even now i don't think i could adapt to a change of that proportion without being in the mindset of playing a completely different game.
7 is a different story and i believe it's possible. A ridiculous amount of copies of the game would be sold, too so i'm sure it'd be worth the effort as far as the manufacturer is concerned. Even that picture gets me giddy at the prospect of it and to be quite frank, i find it quite difficult to control ejaculation when watching that technical demo.
Yep, i really am that sad.
6 is the pinnacle of the series and is very unlikely to ever be bettered. It's all just getting too watered down, but they remain impressive spectacles none-the-less.
There are enough people like you to make the remake worth it. However, I'd expect more of a true sequel than a straight remake.
It's a bit difficult to do though now with the release of Advent Children.
Unless they were to make a sequel to that, too?
That last video for me is now saying "We're sorry, this video is no longer available".
Pffft!
It's the one that says at the end "to be continued in Final Fantasy VII"..... You can double click on it and it will still play.

Probable, or impossible?
Sony has just lost their biggest exclusive(although versus could be a dark horse) end of story BUT there is no guarantee that the xbox version will be as good as the ps3 version. For all we know the ps3 version could be vastly superior.
The FF7 remake thing is just a mess. A lot of the game mechanics in FF7 is old and almost obsolete and need to be remade which might even impact the story line. So if they were to remake FF7 they would make it from scratch, dont think square is willing to do that.
