Final Fantasy XIII finally running on PS3

Posted on September 25th, 2007 at 17:25 EDT

According to the latest Electronic Gaming Monthly (EGM) Final Fantasy XIII is finally operating on the PlayStation 3, so that means the White Engine is up and running the hardware too.

In the last two years Square Enix only shown a few Final Fantasy XIII trailers, of which only one is available to the public. And of course those trailers were just CG, and not running on the PlayStation 3 hardware. So it's good to hear FFXIII is now running on the PS3 itself.

In the other news the latest trailers of FFXIII and Final Fantasy Versus XIII at TGS, which were only shown behind closed doors, reconfirmed them as a PlayStation 3 exclusives.

EGM promised that they would have a Final Fantasy XIII preview in their next issue, which goes on sale October 30th. We will keep you up to date on all the Final Fantasy games.

Final Fantasy is awesome enough I would have spent $2,000 on a ps3 even if this was the ONLY game coming to it.  This series eclipses any other series on any console...you could take my next 5 favorite games and I would sacrifice every single one of them just for Final Fantasy...YES, it's that good.

I'm not a FF fan but I know that this game sells good, so congrats to Sony.

Who cares?.......SE will only release top class material, so when its ready it would be just what we had expect from them for a true FF game. Relax people....let the masters work their magic.

james3579.. that video shows the game running on a development system, what this article is saying is that they have the game running on an actual PS3 console now. while the development system does mimick the hardware of the console for development purposes, getting a game to run on a retail PS3 console is a different thing altogether.

Well Thank God It Works Cause This Is The Main Reason Why I'm gonna buy a PS3 when it comes out

This is  the only game that could actually exceed Halo sales.  The difference is that Final Fantasy  does better world wide than just being dominant in one region.

Thats good news that they got the white engine up on the ps3, and its great that they re confirmed it for the ps3. Good thing rumble is back itll be a cool experience how they incorporate rumble too.

FANTASTIC - Good on you Square. These guys are AAA class developers / publishers. If anyone is going to revive Playstation and PSP it is going to be Square. This company knows what customers want and they always deliver. No BS just excellent products!

I just hope that it will look as good as the CG stuff,that surely would make my day.

sorry, I'm a true fan of FF serie, as I started it in the 16 bit time! but frankly, SE do way too many games and rip-off. FF X was, sorry, but the worst FF ever. if it wouldn't have the name FF nor SE; everyone would have ruined it.
Actually, I'm quite anxious about the FF's games quality.
anyway, the FF will drive Japan's sell's number, be it good or bad., THat's good. But I don't think FF can is anymore a serie that can revive a console. (a FFVII remake would) we'll see

PlayStation3 powah!

It's amazing how beautiful this game's looking.

It's all thanks to Square-Enix's White Engine.

Can't wait to see the other characters in this game :)

woot! Final Fantasy for the win! 360 freaks can say they have halo, but they cant say they have final fantasy, ever.

@james3579. FFXIII is 'realtime' in therms of its turnbased system. however FFXIII versus is an action RPG similar to kingdom hearts. and.. those trailers they showed were just cg movies, not acual combat. turnbased games always have trailers/moves of things you cant really do :P.

EGM doesn't knows what they are talking about (as usual). The first trailer shown for Final Fantasy XIII was a mix of CG and IN-GAME graphics. There was a quote by the games producer a while back saying he was impressed how many people couldn't tell which was which. I found it quite obvious - especially in still images. All the gameplay shots (the ones with HUD) had imperfect AA and are clearly realtime rendered.
