So I was talking to Bun (our forum member) and we were talking about the whole XIII to 360 and the reactions it got, I wanted to quote her because she made great points
[[[[Keturah says:
but they'll do their best to make the game as good a quality as they can
Keturah says:
if they dont, they'll piss off a lot of customers, and that means less sale
Keturah says:
so quite clearly theyre going to do what they can to bring the game up to par
Keturah says:
i think people are just so freaking spoiled and have way too high expectations
now a days
Keturah says:
technology has come SO far
Keturah says:
and its growing so rapidly
Keturah says:
and people cant appreciate how much hard work goes into things like these
Keturah says:
i think we should just be thankful for all their hardwork
Keturah says:
instead of accusing the company of lying and shit ]]]
So instead of making it sound like SE betrayed "us" or whatever why don't we think about how economy works, I'm not saying EVERYONE is acting un appreciative but for those who are all pissy about the multi platform thing need to realize how business works as Bun has said. She also mentioned how this is just going to bring in more customers, it's not about a "console war" or anything like that or which system is better. And if anyone says anything bad about what Bun said or about Bun, I'm going to break your knees with a spoon <333
because she didn't say anything about which system is better or anything like that
Don't worry Elphy, I'll break their knees myself.... *cracks knuckles*
Hah! But no, seriously. I'm flattered you felt the need to quote me (boy I made a lot of spelling mistakes x_x ), as I'm no "wiz of the biz" as I said on another forum. I'm just tired of seeing so many fans getting upset for no good reason at all, at least from what I've seen. And I just wish people would focus more on the important facts, like there's actually still going to be a game/games for us to play. These people put so much time and effort and heart into these projects that we should really be grateful if anything.
Alright if saying something bad will make you give up you're secrets Bun you are stupid and do not know what you are talking about i am sorry but i MUST know how someone would go about breaking someones knees over the internet.
Well that's not going to work, also I was kidding if you didn't catch on
So calling a friend of mine stupid for a stupid reason is idioteque and only ticks me off
Hey elephant_lost i was just playing around man sorry if offended you i knew you were kidding.
Bun that actually scared me as the people living behind us i do not know what they are doing but they have a lamp in th alley and it is on atleast i hope it is them BUUUUUUNNNN don't kill me pleeaaasse lol
yes i looked out the window.
I know why she's so protective. All of these recent foolish posts in this thread are gonna totally make it difficult for people to follow the point of the thread.
Anyway, shit aside... It's better that everyone learns the hard way, in my opinion. For me, I don't care if it's going multi-platform.

dont get me wrong, in a business point of view, this is called investment, from a game making company onto another console, thats fine by me. Square are planing to release other games on to the 360, we just dont talk about it much cause we dont care for does titles.
We say these things because FF has been a PLaystation game for more than 10 years now, so no one expected this to hpn, we have grown to like FF and Sony that much, or this forum would not existe right?
So yeah we back Sony has a company and a console for letting Square use their hardware to project their imagination, and that why most of us probably got the PS3 in the 1st place. Then theres the point that the 360 users have been having this argument for ages about FF on their console, because obviasly these same players had a PS2, and played all other FFs until now.
Alot of people were so in a hurry to get a next Gen consoles that only now, after that anouncement, Xbox360 just payed off. So they gona make a choice, cheaper game on DVD or more money for a Blue Ray.
All in all Square Wins both ways, but Elphy, this will allways be a console war lol and Sony just lost this battle, by losing the exclusive rights to be the solo console to have FF13, meaning sales are not gona be as big as they hoped for on 13, sony are the losers here.. Ohh well, hopes for Versus to set things right.
While I might not be as angry as some people over the cross-platform news I am upset for two reasons.
First: I got a PS3 for FF13. I can't afford both, and I love the FF series, with this info I kinda regret the choice as some of the 360 exclusives really appeal to me, so ya, bit upset.
Second: I was concerned the quality of the game would drop to meet what the 360 can do. Luckily Devs and others have stated this news won't effect the PS3 quality and thats a good thing.
But to specifically touch on this post itself and why I -was- angry...yeaaah I'm sorry. But I don't think I really owe the devs/creators anything, including slack. Yes a lot goes into making these games, and I love these guys for how awesome some of them are, but they get paid for this. FF13 isn't going to be free. Keeping that in mind, ya I'd really like to get my money's worth for graphics and all around quality when I buy the game.
Its a business and they do what the feel they have to do, but I don't have to be happy about it do I?
The whole buying a PS3 specifically for a game that doesn't even have a release date yet is a stupid choice on your part, even though the game is now multi-platformed, so I hope you really are angry at yourself for making such a poor financial decision. It should be that way in any case - you don't buy a console for a single game unless you lack common sense, no offense to you Vykos, but in general, really.
As for the quality of the game itself, well, that's something we can only wait and see. There really is no reason to be angry at this point (any logical reason anyway, that I can see) as they probably haven't even begun working on the issue of tuning the quality of graphics, etc to the 360. Because, who knows, maybe there won't be a significant difference? Obviously they're going to do their best to bring the game up to par, otherwise they would end up losing sales in the end if they didn't, which I'm pretty sure they don't want to happen, especially after making a decision like this. And if my guess is correct, they know about how the news was taken by fans and critics alike; they understand the issues in the path ahead.
What I still can't understand is why anyone should be angry about it...unless you work for Sony. We're still getting our game. It's still coming out for the PS3, which they had been working with exclusively on the white engine. Why would they drop quality already at 50%+?
I wish I had the money to buy a £600 console for one game, I'd be quite chuffed.
In all honesty most people have more sense than to care about this sort of thing, but the people that have nothing better to do than complain, complain really loudly... Quite annoying really.
I know alot of people did buy a ps3 because of FF13, and the game aint even out anytime soon.... but i think you guys are missing out on what you just got for your money... PS3 is so much more than a gaming console... plus your still gona have the game anyways, plus Versus + any other amazing game out there for ps3, they are just starting to tap into the ps3s capabilitys, in many ways "i think" Ps3 is the better console, so dont regret you bought a PS3, cause that a sin, and youl go to hell for that shit!!!
Buy some blue Rays, download some movies, and use that beast of a machine.
It may be much more than a gaming console.
But it's still one, no matter how much Sony push this shit of it being a multimedia hub, i personally couldn't care. I bought it to play games, not to have a big fat music, picture and video orgy while scouting PSN for fucking movie rentals.
I still can't believe people feel they have been cheated by SE, because they haven't. It's still on the damn PS3, and the 360 production won't affect the outcome at all.
It's not worth bitching over. It'll still be good irrespective of either console it is on.

QFT. At the end of the day, its not like FF XIII is disappearing from the list of games appering on the PS3. Its still there AND we get FF vsXIII too, which xbox owners will(/may) not get so ppl should chill out, drink coke and smile and everything will be alright.
Let's clear the air
