Tried of squinting at your monitor attempting to watch the Final Fantasy XIII trailer showcased at the Microsoft Press Conference? Team X3F has got your back. Unveiled again, and for the first time (explanation to follow), during the Square Enix press conference is the trailer in its entirety (that's the again part) but with the added bonus of a PS3 Exclusive ... In Japan banner at the end (that's the first time part).
As usual with most Square Enix games, it looks beautiful and is sure to be a hit when it lands on the Xbox 360. Whenever that is. Final Fantasy XIII is coming to the Xbox 360! Just thought we'd say it again.

I'm a PS3 fanboy, and in a way, I'm glad you guys are getting the game. If a game is truly great, then everyone should have the chance to play it. Obviously this doesn't extend to first and second-party games, which is unfortunate, but in any case, if I were a 360 owner, I'd be happy about this. Just as I am happy that I will get to play BioShock and Eternal Sonata on the PS3. I also think Konami will release MGS4 for you guys in the future as well, and I hope so, because some PS3 fanboys are freaking annoying about it, saying things like "MGS4 is impossible to port to 360." No, it's not.. and hopefully Konami shuts them up sometime in the future. Timed exclusivity is really the best way to go for third-parties, if not simultaneous releases, that way they get the most return on their investment. Developing costs a lot, and games should be made for gamers, irrespective of platform. Except the Wii shovelware - they can keep that crap.

Hahaha.
Seriously, talk about being 1UP'd. Sony is probably arranging an emergency meeting to tackle this new onslaught of awesomeness.

Knock knock knock... Thats another nail in the coffin... Don't get me wrong, I would like a PS3 but this isn't exactly a good thing for them... Also this means I won't have to borrow my buddies PS3 to play this... YAY!

hmm i have a question..what about FF13 versus (if you don't know what that is. FF13 has 3 parts, this is one of the 3. 2 of them are consoles and one i believe is a cell phone game)? is that a PS3 exclusive or (praying to the xbox gods) that it will come to 360

Final Fantasy versus XIII is supposed to remain a PS3 exclusive. Of course right now I don't think I'd feel particularly inclined to trust Square Enix on matters regarding exclusivity, but there has been no announcement on the release of versus XIII on the 360.
At least having a PS3 I can import the Japanese version of XIII while everyone else waits for localization. I doubt that this will kill the PS3 or "put another nail in its coffin." It just means that there won't necessarily be a surge of PS3 sales when XIII comes out outside of Japan. Assuming a noticeable number of PS3 owners don't trade in their console (which would be a bit dumb, a number of games would have to be re-bought for the 360), then the PS3 just loses one of it's chances to pull ahead.
Out of curiosity, I don't suppose there's any information regarding when this decision was made and whether or not Microsoft played a major role in it, is there?
