final-fantasy-xiii-360-disc-space-limitations-wont-compromise-ps3-version

ffxiii-multiple-discs-360

Some PS3 Final Fantasy players (like myself) were shocked the day that the latest title was announced for the 360, in fact I almost ran up to the stage and started screaming at the conference, but once the shock faded, concerns started to come into play.

The biggest concern most PS3 owners had surrounded the potential “middle ground” that may have to be reached in order to have the game port successfully onto the 360 console. Namingly, the lack of disc space when comparing a Blu-ray discs to the traditional format.

Well, in one statement, FFXIII Producer, Yoshinori Kitase, put that fear to bed. 

“The team is targeting to create an equal experience on both the 360 and the PS3 … right now we’re working on the PS3 version first, and once we’ve completed that we’ll really know how much game there will be to fit onto the Xbox 360 discs.

So we don’t know how many discs it’ll be housed on for 360, but there won’t be a chance that we’ll compromise anything because, oh it didn’t fit in the 360 discs so we’ll have to take it out of the PS3 version, or vice versa.”

Seems pretty clear and straight forward to me. While the end result may mean a multiple of discs for 360 owners, which has already been the case with other 360 MMOs, it appears that the integrity and creative vision of the game will not be tweaked in any way to accommodate lesser disc space. Hooray!

    I just hope that the ps3s graphical limitations won't compromise the 360 version.

    Are you for real? the PS3 is not the one with graphical limitations. The 360 doesn't do blu-ray or real 1080p. What a blind xbox fanboy you are.

    Um, no offense to anyone, but i’m pretty sure the xbox 360 graphics engine is more powerful than the ps3. Neither one seems better at the moment, except for the fact that the ps3 has several more processers than the 360, thought the 360 would be able to punch out the same graphics according to what’s out right now. The only difference is that the 360 can’t hold as much data in a cd, since the ps3 has blue ray. Throwing FFXIII on several discs would produce basically the same result though, unless the 1080p is what you’re gonna bring up. I love both my 360, and my ps2. the price of the ps3’s what’s killing me, but with the ps3 slim, looks like it’s gonna match the 360, so good for whoever wants to buy one.

    @Kelvin
    One word, compression. Even if the PS3 and 360 are on par graphically, larger games cannot fit high definition textures on the 360’s DVDs, so they compress them, at a loss of quality.
