FFXIII fastest selling FF game! SE considering sequel!?

[Isiolia]

I was more under the impression that they generated another game's worth of resources that wound up not being used due to an inefficient development process.

It was originally a PS2 game.
Lots of assets didn't make it in - however, as noted by some, that's partly because of their development process. Think of an area, create in-game assets for it, which may or may not be used. That's not scripted out gameplay per se, that's just textures and models.

Seems more like people want to blame the 360 port for any perceived shortcomings of the game. From what I've read, the 360 discs aren't even full.

I agree, if they actually, legitimately had 60 more hours of honest-to-goodness gameplay ready to go, they could have just added a disc to the 360 version. It's not like you can't fit that and more on a single DVD (*cough*Bioware*cough*).
Seemingly, however, the development process was long and not particularly well planned out anyway.

If they did cut things for development time, it was likely to get the title in any form out the door and making money instead of bleeding money.

I don't know lol, if anyone here has played X-2 >.> you'd be skeptical. Not saying this will fall on its face but, I don't think they should. And if they decide to go ahead anyway, I hope they don't butcher it :/

I read they cut it due to it dragging the story along. Didn't say anything about xbax.

You realize that without the xbox people you are all having sandy vaginas about this probably wouldn't have been the fastest selling FF game, so they would need to cater to their entire customer base and not just the PS3 ones. If I'm reading the article correctly, because it was released to two consoles the sales were increased by almost 50%.

ITT 360 haters for no reason. I played it on 360 and found it just as beautiful as everyone else did, and didn't care about changing discs so wouldn't have cared if they added 2-3 more for more content.

in FFXIII-2, Vanille, Lightning, and Fang travel across Cocoon singing songs and stumble across a mystery that must be solved with GIRL POWER

OH A THOUSAND WORDS, CALL OUT THROUGH THE AAAAAAAGESSSSSSSSS

[Kyo]

At least you didnt try to gay up the sequel too much. It's raining men theme song?

[Atreides]

tbh the first song (real emotion? idr) from X-2 was pretty gay

[Appie]

Didn't they say somewhere that 50% of the game got removed since they had to port it to Xbox?

Maybe they'll cash in on those now.

They actually said they cut alot of ideas, some of which weren't even ingame material yet to be cut later. They felt the game had enough body as it is now. Considering you spend 50+ hours in the game there is some truth in that?

I don't see how an Xbox version which is already cut down considerably compared to the PS3 version was holding back this deleted content, maybe to some extend but certainly not all. After all, they could have just added a 4th disc in shitty res like the other 3 discs for the Xbox version if they really wanted to keep that content.

I totally expect that shit to hit PSN and Live as some DLC or maybe even another disc if it is as big as they claim.

I could care less what the xbox gets if it does not do harm to gameplay, when it does I have a right to cry about it same should be said if the ps3 screwed over a game for the xbox

Haven't they said multiple times they don't intend to release any DLC for XIII but haven't said no to it for future games?

[Atreides]

I'm not at all surprised this is the fastest selling FF game, as it's the first one they've released for more than 1 system...

and if you starve someone for years, of course they're going to wolf down whatever you put in front of them when you finally feed them

Theres alot of grey area on it from the stuff I've read. They've said they wouldnt release any of the cut content as DLC, but werent ruling out future stuff, in one article and in another, they just said they had no plans for it.

Nah, given that they already had planned to make Versus n' more, any assets they created will have someplace to go. Low-res assets, as one would assume the 18 months on the PS2 version generated, would likely work for the PSP.

They also said the Japanese version would get new game+, missions up to 86 and a weather control system ala sunleth waterscape for Gran Pulse and 2 "undisclosed features" at the end of march. SE is full of shit. I'd rather wait till the end of march to see if they weren't lying.

Didn't Elmer the Pointy also point out FF13 would have DLC for sure? I rather trust his word than SE's. Especially how they backpedaled after that new game+ info came out: "no no, no DLC". The entire game is setup for DLC lol.

[Ker]

The publisher previously confirmed it had shipped well over 5 million copies of the game across all launch territories,

Why do people confuse shipped with sold?

Bombing Japan if this happens and they don't localize.

Nagasaki up in this bitch.

That news about the DLC was from halfway in januari, 3 days later they started the "No DLC to see here" (/imagines the officer from South Park saying this).

Where is my "vs" title SE

[Kurp]

I'd be happy with some DLC that added ridiculously strong missions so that your maxed out characters have something to go after.

I want to fight that huge motherfucker that is roaming around on Pulse. Or something similar if that ends up being related to the story.
