ffxiii-to-fully-utilize-ps3-specs-feature-controllable-airships-more

Good news for PS3 owners and fans of the Final Fantasy series. In a recent interview conducted with Tetsuya Nomura regarding Final Fantasy VII and Final Fantasy XIII, the video game director employed by Square Enix had a lot to say.

Nomura stated that the amount of disc space available due to the advent of Blu-Ray technology will allow the jump from Final Fantasy XII to XIII to rival that of the jump made from VI to VII.

In addition to announcing some new wrinkles for the franchise such as the ability to control air ships and conduct airborne assaults, he also helped put an end to rumors regarding a 360 release, by confirming that the title would “of course” be a Playstation 3 exclusive.

He didn’t stop there though. The man revered by many in the industry as a top ten developer added that Final Fantasy XIII will be the first PS3 release to fully utilize the consoles specifications.

    This is actually pretty exciting. I mean obviously to an extent I’m sure he’s tooting Square-Enix’s own horn a little bit here as I’m sure it isn’t just so easy to say “yeah, we’re pushing the Ps3 to the max here, can’t squeeze anymore than we are out of this thing”. Like even with the Ps2 I had a hard time believing anyone when they said things like that until I played games like MGS3 and God of War 1 and 2. Despite all that though, I have no doubt this will be a bloody amazing looking game and can’t wait to see more of it.
