Wasn't it obvious? Exclusivity is a fickle thing.

Also, Sony probably don't have the money to shell out for exclusivity :P Tough times, these. But it's kinda better for the consumer, though.

lol is all I have to say about that.

I mean failing to mention the PC in the press conference was funny to say the least.

If they are making it for PC they are making it for 360, I wonder what mad Sony think it was exclusive?

the 360 and a PC are pretty much the same thing... XNA as an example works on both you just add in little tags to use the Xbox controller... cant be that hard to port

Yes agree with Vistrix, for example L4D is exclusive to Xbox, even though its available on PC. So i guess Sony can get away with it, depends on if it will at some point come out on the Xbox... all very confusing, I am generally happy when something is multiplatform, and the internal dev teams make something exclusive.

pretty sure he said it would only be on ps3 at launch no surprise given it will probably launch in japan first dont remember the word exclusive being used may have missed it though as stream was dodgy

I think the phrase people are looking for is 'console exclusive'.

PC is a whole different kettle of fish.

Though the word might be console exclusive, its amazing how many times these people (Sony and MS) forget to use that and drop the "Console" bit ;)

Oh I get it! The trailer was exclusive to the PS3 (conference). Makes sense now.

keeping their options open im sure just like im sure bioware would never say never to releasing mass effect on ps3. console exclusive to ps3 im sure since no one has an xbox in asia.

but meh i'd rather they showcased versus 13 instead

It's no different than MS saying L4D2 was an exclusive when it will also appear on PC.

I'm not a FF fan,but is this a sequel to the game that's not out yet or just an online version.

Hmm, and so why would it be Sony only (on consoles) when the 360 has sold more units?

Ahhh, you mean it's ok if Sony had done it, but not MS? Riiiight.

Sony and MS don't say cause they don't see PC as compition they never have.

It was exclusive. For about 10 minutes. Surely thats all "exclusive" means these days?

"There will be play modes to suit people who want to play for 40 minutes a day, and people who want to play all day."

Will there be a matching pricing structure? I'd like to see lower rates for occasional players; some sort of pay-as-you-play would be cool... that's how these things started off, after all =) Does anyone currently offer that?

Im looking forward to this, I had XI on the 360 for a while so having the same type of characters will be nice, I dropped the 360 version after about 3 months though beacuse it was just so slow to load & took up pretty much all of my HDD. lets hope the new game is optimised for the consoles a little better.

Bye life :(
I played 11 Online for something like 360+ days play time, granted some of that was when it was left online selling things but christ it took the best part of a year to reach the level cap but the job system is the best of its kind, none of the this "alt" rubbish like WoW you just go into your "home" and swap to whatever you want to play as.

depends whether you believe sony or not... sony said playstation 3 was the only console you will be able to play final fantasy 14 on. however microsoft said every game at the conference was exclusive except the first few and then mgs rising was on ps3 so....

A 2 page article about FF XIV and all you guys can do is cream yourselves over who's better/worse: MS or Sony?

I, for one, am looking forward to this but not overly excited about the game, despite being an FF fan. Perhaps when it gets closer to a release date we'll have more details about it.

Never played FF XI though. I've heard good things about it but was it very popular? Is it a total time eater?

@Vistrix "@AphoticCosmos According to Microsoft, its still exclusive even if its on the PC... "

And if you read the article ONCE more with emphasis on the part that they say they consider of also other hardware like microsoft's console, you might realise that there is NO exclusivity even if it wasnt coming out on the PC. -Fact-

Take a look at the FFXIV Online Forums there's some up-to-date stuff there, basically the game is going to center around leveling weapons instead of characters per say. There's no confirmed FFXIV Release Date, however, 2010 is the expected year.

This game looks stunning. I think even the early skeptics will be impressed. If Square Enix improves the areas where FFXI fell short, I'm sure it will be an amazing online experience.

I'm sure that Final Fantasy XIV is a timed exclusive on the PS3, just wait for the announcement from Microsoft, hehe. Final Fantasy XIII is on both consoles, why not this game?

Jack Tretton said it will be exlcusive to ps3 console for the year 2010. Why can't people understand something simple like that?
