Ports, ports, ports, ports, ports, ports, ports, ports, or final fantasy 7 sequels. The last good game they made was dragon quest 8 (which level 5 made). KH2 (which was worst than the orginal) , and FF12 (which is considered the worst in franchise) were the only good original games they made in 6 years. I don't understand how a developer of Final Fantasy 4, 6, 7, and 10, Chrono Trigger, Chrono Cross, Einhander, Parasite Eve, Xenogears, and even saga frontier cannot make a game every 2 years? What have they made in 2007. What have they made in 2006? It takes a year and a half to make an english translation of ff12. Compared to 6 months for ff10. I know people are going to make excuses. But square soft is dead, and square enix likes to shove and spit on our faces with ports of what square soft used to be.

Nah, I'm pissed off that it is going to take 2 more years to even touch ff13. Maybe 2010, possibly 2011. It sucks, that square enix is possibly the worst company ever (compared to squaresoft). It is almost as bad as sega death (probably worst).I don't really care about it going to be multiplat. But delaying the game to make it multiplat is why they are a pos.

They are delaying the NA and EU versions until the 360 version in done, which is by far the stupidests move since they just cut their life time sales by a large margin of 6 months.

FF 13 is going to suck on the 360 anyway. Its apperent that SE is giving the ps3 version special treatment so mcrosoft wasted that 10 billion for nothing.

Microsoft sucks.

Are you kidding me?? Why would they do that? They would make more money if they each version of the game whenever development is done, not wait for every version's completion.

Are you saying that because you find this to be a bad move or because it isn't true?

A HORRIBLE MOVE! Why do this? Really there is no point in delaying one version. Unless this is an indirect call to Sony to pay for timed exclusivity.

I wasn't sure if you were trying to say that didn't really happen. I figured it was a lie.

Square Enix isn't delaying anything becuse of the 360. They are using the Crystal Tools Engine which is a multiplatform engine. And they have already stated that FF13 is being developed on PC first.

360 + PC arcitecture is pretty much identicle. The game isn't coming out simply because it isn't done.

Anybody who believes Square-Enix when they say they are starting development on the 360 version after they finish the other PS3 version is pretty gullible. Why would any developer do something like that?

It doesn't make financial sense. Square-Enix is just blowing smoke.

Square-Enix: "The game is being built using PC-based development tools."

Check the non Ps3 release shedules,especially DS. Square has done plenty. The world ends with you is pretty amazing.

Dont like delays? speak to sony they where the ones who came up with difficult to harness hardware in the first place.

Yea, making 10,000 ds and psp ports is not evil, and delaying their other games so dq9 doesn't conflict with other games? THey are horrible. HORRIBLE. Worst than activision. You don't see cod1 being ported to the xbox 360 or PS3. They make activision, and ea look like gods. Only if fanboys don't care about exclusives (which obviously people here do :(, and just look at basic details)
-Square Enix compared to every other company takes a year and a half to make an english version of ff12, a year to port Dragon quest 8, and all the ports come out late too (how, you have the english version of these games already, it doesn't make any ****ing sense). FF13 was supposed to be a 2008 title, it isn't going to come out until november 2010 at best, and yet people aren't complaining. Worlds Ends with you it took a year long to import it. Wait, I forgot this isn't square soft which takes at best 3 to 4 months to make an english version.
