This is very unlikely unfortunately guys. Reason being, Sony has an exclusive contract with Square Enix that allows then to have full ownership of the FF titles and FFXIII is one of the PS3's feature titles. Petition or not, Square isn't going to back down on this one and, for some reason they did, it would be many years before you ever see it on the 360.
If you think about it, why would Sony give FFXIII, one of the best games ever, to their competition? Hell, I sure wouldn't.

If the competition is 10.000.000 users, and more when FF13 actually arrives, things totally change. Also they do not have any contract for FF13, even Sony admited they are looking to make it exclusive, clearly meaning it is not yet

I wouldn't believe everything you hear if I was you.
Personally, I'd rather keep the FF series to the PS, as its always been.

Well, it is on PS3 already, it is not as if PS3 would not get the game, but why not 360 owners be able to play it ? I see no reason, it is like saying Oblivion should never be on PS3 ... well it was actually great that came to PS3 and more could enjoy it

Oh come on, do not be so protective of just one title, after all we xbox users have never got love from Square, and especially now that PS3 is 600$ and untouchable for many, would be good to have out favourite game in a more affordable platform. I used to be a huge FF fan, but i am simply not getting any console above 300$, even 360 seemed expensive to be frank
To your question, FF11, and Project Sylpheed is coming too

I think FF should stay on the PS as well, I mean, like FC said, they have exclusive rights to it for one, and plus even with 10,000,000 ppl asking for it, sony would have more of a reason not to release it on 360. Think about it, if sony seen that 10,000,000+ Xbox fans wanted it to be released on that platform, that would mean worse sales for them and better sales for Microsoft. Honestly, would you give your rivals something to help gain a edge on the competition? _________________ Ich halte, dass kein Wunsch gesehen zu werden oder gehört zu werden

You guys have to remember that all GTA titles were released on PS2 first and then later released on xbox. I'm pretty sure there was a clause in rockstar's conract to allow this though. I'm really not sure about specifics. All I know is that the grand theft auto games were soooo much better when they were finaly released to the xbox. I know Sony aint gonna let that happen with FF games. _________________

For a s long as I can remember, the FF series has always been associated to the PS. Its one of the reasons people buy it. There are millions of FF fans all over the world who I can tell you now, have and will buy PS consoles because of the lure of the FF series.
I'll tell you what, if I was head of Sony, I'd make sure that SquareEnix stay with Sony for a long while to come.

Lol, Darth... Yeah, if you not into TBS Games you wouldnt like FF to much. But as far as alot of games go, they do have really good story lines.... Except for XII, I really didnt like the story line or the new fighting system to much. You could easily end up fighting a boss at oh say LVL 20 and need to be 40+ (Poor Vaan....) cause you could easily avoid battles.... but thats off topic. Back when the FF was one the NES (If you can remember way back when, I think it was the NES) But anyways, They called it Final Fantasy because it was Squares last ditch effort not to go bankrupt. I'm 100% sure Sony will never give that series up. (If they do, well.... YOu'll never see me supporting sony again) It made SquareEnix and SquareSoft a very familiar name in the gaming industry (Not saying it wasnt well known before that) and FC..... im definatly one of them.... *cough* >.> _________________ Ich halte, dass kein Wunsch gesehen zu werden oder gehört zu werden
