what!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Square is probably one of the top two most influential studio's that support Playstation. Sony should think about keeping them happy by giving them whatever they want. Even if its a lot of money.

cross palteform not includes nescessary the xbox360 cross plateform maybe mean PC and PS3

bad news fore sony ...

i think white engine should stay on ps3 

psn id: gingo... this is not bad news as long as its not followed by FF13 is also on 360 then i will be happy

i think the 360 will try to get this game there not selling in japan so if they get a new final fantasy game it good boost up sales but sony owns 9 percent of square enix

This doesn't make any sense. If square was working on a cross platform engine why would the license the unreal 3 engine. Is this a mistranslation? SE has been pretty shrewd and they do not seem like they love to throw money away.

i dont give a damn about the engine just as long as the game is exclusive to ps3.xD

This is old news, its always been a cross platform engine.

It's news to me that the new MMO is using the white engine, that gets me QUITE excited haha

o well i guess garbage box will get FFVIII also.  Sorry but money talks.

All it means is they could port it if they wanted to and frankly there's no evidence they're interested every RPG for the 368 so far has failed in japan.

That's a shame Alpha2, Blue Dragon and Eternal Sonata seem like pretty solid RPGs to me. Just because it doesn't measure up to the FF Franchise doesn't exclude it from being a good RPG ya know. FF is not King.

should ahve been ps3 exclusive.

FantasyStar, alpha didn't say the games were bad, he just say they didn't do to well in japan. And the sales number prove that he is correct. Personally I dislike Blu dragon and eternal sonata is just one gameplay mechaninc away from mirroring tri-aces awesome previous masterpeice Radiata stories. The only thing I didn't like was they way the timer was set up in the battles.

lets not get all huffy just yet,let's not forget that the 360 is still missing a hard drive in every system and lacking more than 9 gigs of space on disk before the speculations start

This dose not mean the FF titles in development will go to Xbox.  But I mean what did people expect them to do?  Its much, much easier to modifly an existing engine than to make a whole new one for just 1 game.  It would take to much time and money.  The MMO was always going to be cross platform (PS3/PC/Xbox360). Just like FFXI.

Well, this may mean that the White Engine will come to 360, it does not mean FFXIII will come to 360 too. There will be other games for both PS3/360 that use the white engine. 360 can't handle FFXIII, it's just too powerful. SquareEnix even said that the amount of dat for FFXIII so far can't even fit on TWO Dual-layered DVDs!! But you never know, previous FF games for PS1 had multiple discs :(

For the love of Zeus...Does it really matter if SE are using the White Engine on more than one platform? Does it really matter if FFXIII appears on more than one platform? When it comes down to it no single game will ever shift the momentum of a console war even the AAA titles like FFXIII and MGS4 won't do it.  The people that want a PS3 will buy one, it's that simple...lets just leave it at that!

@JD-82 It does matter because FF and other top shelf titles are the primary reason people buy PS3. If they are not exclusive then we loose some of those customers and the whole PS3 pool gets smaller. It also means we might get the ported sloppy seconds so the games might not be all that great. I'd like to have as many unique games as possible designed specificaly for PS3 architecture.

If im not mistaken square killed rumors that ffxiii was going multi platform anyway, and i have to say square doesn't lie like sony do lol (refering to price drop )
