    I have the PS3 Japanese imported Demo and I can tell you this game looks phenominal. It plays wonderfully. I think I will end up getting the game for both systems just because I am a collector. From what I have seen of the PS3 version, the 360 version has a lot to live up to! I think the potential may be there as they are both powerful systems but the PS3 version is going to be tough to beat.

    One thing worth noting is that, unlike most games on both systems, the PS3 version is not limited to 720p but goes up to 1080p. While this is to be expected with the 360 version as a standard, the PS3 has been nototious for lacking in this department. Well, the Demo I played is in glorious full 1080p and it's a true sight to behold! Whatever system you get it on, Final Fantasy XIII is going to be one of the must have titles of this generation.

    i agree with mm94 Final Fantasy should be a PS exclusive ... xbox has so many games that they dont want us to have...might as well give them MGS4...o wait they are... atleast thats what i heard

    @ mmm94

    They're in this to make money, and a looooot of people have XBOX's (myself included). If they double their profits and spend 3 months getting a good port together, they're gonna do it, no questions asked.

    I wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft are gonna shell out some big bucks to get it released on their platform before the PS3. As with 'The Last Remnant'... Lets just hope they don't screw this up this time (although I doubt they will).

    @ LAMACHUNG

    You saw one summon, who's appeared in every FF game from (Japanese naming) FF2. His appearance hasn't changed from the Norse god he's meant to represent.

    How you can suggest that they'll all look the same is beyond me.

    @ Patch900

    Final Fantasy 12?

    If you want true real time, play an action RPG game. JRPG's have always, and probably will always be, primarily turn based. That's basically the definition of a JRPG (other than the literal definition that is).

    ----------------------------------

    Looks peachy to me!

    Bring it on!

    For as i saw I can guarantee that all summoned monster gonna look like android so what is a different between ordinary monster and summoned monster.(I just think that SM suppose to come from somewhere very far or another Dimension so they should have some feature different from common one )

    meh... i was far more interested in lost odyssey. Im tired of "real time combat". Its like a single player mmorpg. final fantasy 12 i had to force myself to like to justify the money spent on it. one of my main gripes about real time combat is the spells suffer in graphics. remember final fantasy 12s blizzaga spell? very lame imo. I liked it when even standard spells looked painful and powerful. Hopefully this game doesnt skimp on the effects.

    if they didnt wasted time on putting a version to the 360 they couldve realese it ps3 on 2009

  • Patch900

    Posted Sep 13, 2009 7:13 am PT

    I was thinking about getting this....but then i saw it was turn based so i have to decline. Will we ever see a real time combat system on a final fantasy game. That would make it even more epic than ever!

  • GaMa__GaMer

    FF 13...why they put it on Xbox 360.....It should be exclusive for PS3 only......

  • disturbedmol

    Posted Sep 10, 2009 10:01 pm PT

    Personally these turds keep f*cking it up every year,changing the combat system.there will never be a better game than ff7,until they get their head out their @ss and make a better up to date one.

    Seriously considering getting a PS3 for FF13 Versus and FF13, despite already having a 360 and FF13 coming for both consoles, I just think it will be better on the PS3. Honestly, I would have preferred it to stay exclusive, exclusive titles seem to always be a little better than cross platform ones.

    Hope they keep the turn based battle system. I was a little turned off by this game when I first saw it because the battle system appeared not to be turn based at first so I'm really encouraged by this clip!

    If been waiting to see game play of this game ever since my bro told me there was a number 13. I just wish that the other version of the game was for the 360 instead of the PS3

  • Gamerlord101

    The game looks great. Nice graphics,smooth transition and awesome looking summons and monsters. I'm glad i have a 360.

    excellent is the only word for this demo. Odin looks crisp and so does the gameplay. Noone does graphics as good as FF haha. I agree that XII's battle system wasnt that great but character development was a nice try at evolving the sphere grid, a non succesful try but still. This game and my shelf are destined to be haha

    Final Fantasy usually dishes out great games, so I wouldn't be surprised for this to do just as well.

    I'm so glad sqaure decided to bring this out for the 360 aswell, there's no way i could have lived without it

  • McGregor

    Posted Jun 4, 2009 8:59 am PT

    I know it's probably the quality of video i'm watching, but the characters from the PS3 version look a little more detailed and the environments look less grainy. But like i said, it could be a result of the demo video quality and not the game graphic quality. I hope Square takes the time to get the graphics on both systems identical.

    this is gonna be amazing

    cant wait to play it

  • Decrate

    Posted Jun 3, 2009 7:45 pm PT

    this game better have side bosses like omega weapon. most final fantasy has had omega weapon. and make him super hard so we have to be level 99 with the best weapons to beat him!

    in a way. i feel as though this game might be a little more linear than previous final fantasy games. i dont know why but i feel like they want it to be a movie like game and keep the tension going throughout so side quests and optional stuff like raising chocobos might be limited. i hope im wrong

  • Xions-Fursy

    Posted Jun 3, 2009 5:58 pm PT

    Well since we know they have a demo ready... Maybe allow the average person to download it on their Xbox 360's and PS3's... I for one would probably not play another game for months. I'd just keep replaying it over and over.

    So the summons are used similar to FFX, where the other members disappear and the summon fights alongside you. I like that they have brought that concept back.

    I am so hyped about this game............

  • mabi878

    Posted Jun 3, 2009 3:54 am PT

    i don't think there's a difference in graphics, well for me anyway. For those who are asking about the difference in graphics, just wait for it to be officially released and I'm pretty sure gamespot will probably run a "graphics difference" test, like when they compared the xbox360, the ps3 and the pc while running "Dead Space", "Fallout 3" and "GTAIV".

    Gah. Can't wait for this!!

    yeah...uematsu seems to be only doing the themes now or just one song for FF games. too bad. ffxii soundtrack was completely forgettable.
