Think you!!

360 is a crap system. Glad Square is putting it right on PC where it belongs and ALLSO showing some love to the Ps3 peeps.

But should they put it on the 360?

i really dont understand fanbois.

Yes, but only after it has been developed for the PS3, as long as I can play it on the PS3 or PC, then xbox fans are welcome too. The more players the merrier.

Yes.  The more people who are able to play it at their conveniance the better.

Get off the video game extremist kick, they're both good systems.

Granted the 360 does have a 65% fail rating, but the ps3 has a weak line-up, so there you go.

i dont see what difference it makes if final fantasy 14 is released on the xbox360, unless of course you're a crazed fanboi.

 fainboi much?

Don't be a moron, please!

Anyone with common sense understands that if you enjoy the franchise and want it to be a huge success, which equals better experience for you, then you should want the game to reach out to every console and every corner of the world.

Xbox live has 18 million subscribers which is 7 million more then then biggest mmo in the game WoW.

Think before you post.  The Xbox online experience is far superior to the playstation network.  It's true the ps3 has better hardware, but very few of the developers have been able to tap into the potential due to a lacking development kit & support.

Bring it to xbox 100%.

That's just it, FFXI uses 4 of the processing units in the cell processor, the 360 might not be able to run Crystal Tools the way they have it set up. MS would have to pay for the port. it might happen it might not.

Edit * It also might be the nature of the partnership with Sony goes back to the creation of the Crystal Tools that SE owns and uses for most of their upcomming games. SE has always been a PS heavy developer, that probably contributes to the playstation popularity in Japan/Asia.

And make no mistake about it, there are more Asians than Americans. this also will influence the direction FFXIV will take I'm sure.

the crystal tools has already been developed on x360....hello....FF13 on BOTH consoles.

this is just a fanboy rant, and its always the ps3 boys that go overboard it seems....i own them all so honestly i dont care. but like an above poster said, it would make sence buisness wise to put it on there and the more the better, MMOs or atleast console ones should be the last thing that people should want exclusive.

 If you honestly think that on-line gamming wont move into the console market you are wearing blinkers,companies are going were the cash is,If you dont believe me read my sig...

Time's they are a changing.

 If I had a PS3, I wouldnt care if it came or didnt come to the 360, but since i have a 360, Id really rather play it on that controller than PC + Game pad :/

Zanfire if you were up to date on that info you would know that FF13 will use nearly 100% of the PS3 processing power which is considerably more than what the 360 can churn out. you think the port will be equal? They haven't even started localization yet so 360 is still on the ropes.

Keep in mind that Gears of War 2 already runs questionably on the 360 due to limitations. FF13 and GoW3 might break something.

It has nothing to do with fanboyism. if a game is pushing the limits on the PS3 it will really be pushing the limits on the 360. Have fun with choppy gameplay and disc swapping. if I were getting FF13 I sure as hell would be getting it on the PS3

Yeah... people should make more games that only run on underselling six hundred dollar consoles. That makes great business sense.

The whole point of this thread isn't the popularity and/or the amount of customers a particular console has.  The OP, and I happen to agree with him, is pointing out that PC's in general and the PS3 technologically superior to the 360 console.  Whether you think all PS3 games are rubbish is irrelevant, that is simple fact.

Any problem can be avoided by SquareEnix by simply programming it to fully utilise the capacity of the PC and PS3 and then removing whatever needs to be to get it to work on the 360.  What fans fear may happen is that it will be developed to run on the 360 with extra anti-aliasing and bloom on the PS3 and PC.

that's a good point. if you think on it more you would realize that SE isn't catering to the US market when they make games. they aren't making games to run on the 360, they are making them to run on the PS3.

FFS FFXIII has been delayed 8 months to port it to M$ 360 due to a simultaneus launch contract Yes Crystal Tools takes 6-8 months to port to 360 on every title. on top of that I'm sure some effects will need to be dumbed down so the 360 dosen't turn into an exploding star.

The 360 has 3 cores that can process 2 theads each core.   But the Cell is more powerful from what info ive gathered, but it makes sense becasuse the PS3 came out a year after the 360 so it should be more powerful.   That just means  Microsoft will come out with a new console before Sony.

Edit.  I am in no way a MS fanboy my 360 has turned into a over glorified dvd player.  But I still don't see me getting PS3 anytime soon.  It would be nice if SE would just make FF13 for PC. They did that for TLR so why not FF13......

It's shit like this that has made me avoid mmorpg.com forums for a long time, is it just me or has sensible discussions gone out the fuckin window?

I honestly don't mind MMO's being on consols, my problem is when the make a game for the pc and consols at the same time like they are planning with this game. I think from what I've seen from games on console and pc, they tend to have weird issues. Issues that make the flow of game play a bit odd. The games I know of that have done this are AOC (ok they havent gotten it to consol yet, but it was designed to be for both and feels like it should be played with a controler) and Shadowrun Online, which ended up failing miserably because there were inconsistancies between the pc players and the xbox players. (They had to dumb down the pc controls to make it fair for the xbox-ers from what ive heard).

The 360 can do anything the PS3 can do. Its been proven time and time again. If the PS3 is more powerful then Sony them selves should show it. When I hear developers comlpain about 360 Hardware then we can discuss. Until then threads like this are a waste of time and this is comming from a person that does not own any console.

Yeah this thread is kinda silly. There is no reason not to put it on the 360. What do you care how it looks?

1) It hurts no one.

2) It helps those that have a 360.

I don't see what there is to debate.

More systems it's on the more players playing it....

Leave the fanboyism at the door.
The PS3 and Xbox 360 are about equal, each has it's advantages and disavantages.

My PC is far superior to both consoles, so that is where I will be playing it. I wil leave all you guys to argue over the consoles lol.

I'm sure someone already noted this.

but SquareEnix has already said "Microsoft systems are NOT out of the picture.

Grow up. Money is too tight not to spread to mutiple platforms.

Truthfully its a great plan. Spread the love to multiple consoles now that everyone owns one or the other or both.

You double your income from multiple platforms.

And when it comes down to specs. All consoles are just dumbed down PC's.

Microsoft has already stated that its been contiplating releasing the 360 emulator for the PC. You can already use the 360 controller for your pc. So really all things will come back to the pc.

I don't understand why people try to complain about the capabilities of the Xbox360 to the PS3.  I understand you automatically think the PS3 is significantly better than the Xbox360 simply because of the price tag, but if the PS3 can handle it, I tend to think the Xbox360 could as well.  No games at this point in time fully utalize every aspect of each system, which is why as newer games come out, they keep becoming more and more groundbreaking with their abilities to render forms and utilize graphics/physics engines.  Comparing the PS3 to the Xbox360 is just dumb, and by bringing Xbox360 into the fold, FFXIV will just increase its Subscription count, something any company will look to do.  Having more people in an MMORPG is always a good thing, and although most will be new to the MMO genre (I'm sure someone already ranted about the amounts of "noobs" in the game if it's brought to 360), but once they learn, it will only make the game better.  We were all "noobs" at one point.  And yes, I hate using the word noob, it's almost as retarded as someone who feels that their PS3 is superior to all consoles, although each console gives a gamer something different, and attractive of itself.

I guess none of you geniuses saw the announcement in E3 that FFXIV was going to be EXCLUSIVE to the PS3, as far as consoles are concerned.  When a Sony rep says that, it isn't for no reason.  That makes this thread moot.  Learn to pay attention more.

At the actual Q&A with the Devs of FFXIV, they stated they were exploring all options "including Xbox hardware."  Also, a spokesperson for Xbox (take it for what it's worth, I know), said they were led to believe that FFXIV was not an exclusive title.  But, from what the Devs said, if it's possible, it will eventually come to the 360.
