I dont think theres anything to worry about, delay-wise. ocalisation takes a good while anyway, and by all accounts back-porting to the 360 isn't such a tricky task as porting from 360 to PS3. Plus, Squenix have already had experience with the 360 through work on Last Remnant anyways.
Still undecided which version I'll go for. Depends on the achievements and how well they manage to compress stuff for the 360 version, I guess... |

Localisation should not take that long in this day and age, SE are a complete joke in this department.

DOnt you find it weird that he said, they even havent received the Kits for the 360 ?????? Arent they developing the Last remnant or what ? Either way, I am not expecting the game until 2010 anyway.

indeed, but as Trophys are mostly meaningless right now and not even mandatory, I wonder if SE will even bother with them.
Trophies are mandatory for games released starting 2009. |

Wait a sec, how are Trophies meaningless?! The whole point of Acheivements and trophies is to make you want to play a game a bit more and do certain challenges within the game.
If you think it's pointless because it doesn't contribute to your E-Peen, I'd worry for your gaming habbits. Do you only play games for your gamerscore too? |

I said trophies are meaningless because of the way they have been implemented, and because so far only one game supports the damn things.
My Gamerscore / Gamercard can track my achievements across multiple games and I can compare them to anyone i like, dating back from when I first got my 360. My PS3 Achievements can do the comparison thing, but because they're rather obtuse and not available in all games (and never likely to be in some) they just don't do the job like Achievements do. Don't ge tme wrong. I play games for the fun of them. But a multiplatform game I'll almost always go for the 360 version, because of Achievements and how easily I can see how well my friends are doing on the same games. |

That's fair enough, but if the game supports them, then they aren't pointless unless your moan is for your gamerscore.

"oo merk's about i wonder what goes on inside your head. why do you care so much? " I can imagine him holding back the tears while he typed out his latest load of "blig facts", I mean this here is genius: "About the ONLY positive thing for MS is that it simply will mean slightly fewer people will buy the PS3 than would have otherwise in the west." Sony should hire him, given the utter garbage most of their PR guys come out with he couldn't do any worse. |

oo merk's about. lol, he's still around then? ignore ftw. :P on topic: while im chuffed to bits at not having to splurge out for a PS3 to get my FF fix, we'll have to brace ourselves for the usual million year wait for them to localise for Scots-Gaelic, West-Belfast, Latin, Elvish etc etc... /sadface. |

I wonder if the port is going to be good? Meh... Not really bothered anyway. I still got my PS2 to keep me company |

"Then again a Japanese girlfriend will dump you like a brick if you play FF (and especially if you involve her). They don't like yellow fever Otakus ;)"
Isn't it a good thing if a Japanese girl dumps you like a brick? It's just I saw that '2girls1cup' piece of media and thought it was the done thing? :D |

good that they are finishing ps3 version before starting on 360. That should mean no compromises on things like resources if they were developed side by side. So basically the ps3 version will be exaclty as it would have been if it was still only a ps3 game. good times

I've just realised I've encountered this blig_merk on usenet some time ago, I thought the name was familiar.
He was an utter cock back then. |

And as it turned out the game will come out in early 2010 to US & EU. I'm surprised, Final Fantasy XIII was first shown at the 2006 E3 convention and the forums went wild now we will be playing the game soon, unlike Final Fantasy XII. I think they spent too much time on that failure (hehe).
