Final Fantasy Versus XIII Coming To Xbox 360?

Final Fantasy XIII made the jump to the Xbox 360, and it went on to sell over five million copies and become the fastest selling title in the series. Coincidence? Square Enix certainly hopes not. Not surprisingly, they're "looking into" bringing Final Fantasy Versus XIII to the Xbox 360. A looking into that is going to take them right up to "officially" announcing the game.

Square Enix president and CEO Yoichi Wada was recently asked about that exact possibility at an investor meeting, to which he replied, "We’ll be looking into it internally until right before the formal announcement.” Which means, for one thing, we'll actually be getting a formal announcement. Does that mean that announcements at E3 way back in 2006 don't even count?

That was when Square Enix announced that Final Fantasy XIII would actually be a trilogy of games they were calling "Fabula Nova Crystallis." Final Fantasy XIII was the first title, then Final Fantasy Versus XIII, and finally (hee!) Final Fantasy Agito XIII. While it certainly sounds like a trilogy, Agito XIII has only been announced for the PSP in Japan, which would mean that many Xbox 360 owners would need to branch out to a handheld and move to another country in order to complete the story.

The game was already a no show at the last Tokyo Game Show because the development team was under the gun. So hopefully we'll have further news during E3 next month.

    Stop looking into what console its going to be on and just continue to be pumped for whats going to be a great game...and by the way, if you didn't like FF13 i suggest you stop playing JRPG's because that game was amazing and I personally hope that other developers use it as an example for creating their own games in the future. Flame me, or whatever the hell the stupid term is, all you want I DON'T CARE.

    Yall tend to forget that there a high chance that FFvs13 is going to be mature rating, which means Square enix has alot more breathing space on what to do. Its gonna be a whole new deck of card. plus the fact they have given hints on how the gameplay is gonna be. At least Square is willing to experiment which its title.
    Plus yall are worrying way to much on which system its going to be on, i could care less if it was going to be on the Wii, as long as it retains the type of story and graphics that we are all use too.

    I really do not believe that the pretentious Square Enix felt the need to remove their content from FFXIII just so it could all fit on three discs for the 360. There are fanboys out there that are severely disappointed in FFXIII that they have to turn anything aside from the game itself or the developers to try and make up an excuse for it. Don't get my wrong, I put my 100+ hrs into the game and I look back and can't help but wonder... why?

    Maybe Square Enix should have paid more attention to the gameplay and enhancing the mechanics of the game instead of having it be "a visually stunning but constant movie". Seriously, there is no reason that a cut scene should lead into another cut scene. That game seemed like over 60% cut scene, where they were trying to shove story down my throat. Actions speak louder than words, so show me what is happening rather then TELL me what is happening.

    Also, would it kill to not have our main characters speak? Cutscenes drag out excessively at times cause you have to listen to them speak. There should be an option where you can simply shut the characters up and bring back the text boxes. I know not all of us want to read, but at least with a text box I can imagine the voice instead of having to listen to poor voice acting.

    oh well, FF13 was watered down because of the 360, looks like versus 13 will be too.

    For all you people expecting versus to go multiplatform I wouldn't get excited yet. Tetsuya Nomura himself said that if Versus were to go multi then he would leave Square Enix

    Hey as long as the game is awesome, it doesn't matter. I hear it'll have airships and a world map like the traditional Final Fantasies, so I'm looking forward to Versus and so should everyone else.

    Yeah, this one was coming, it was inevitable. But SE underestimated the impact of the PS3 and really didn't need to go multiplatform to sell more games. Didn't the list for April say that on the PS3 the game sold over a million copies compared to around 800K on the 360. While people seem to prefer the PS3 version over the 360 version based on sales, SE saw an opportunity to make a killing and guarantee that we will continue to see more Final Fantasy in the future. I for one love XIII on my PS3 and despite all the nitpicking, this game has been a HUGE hit and guarantees more Final Fantasy for years to come!

    Funny how people say the Xbox can't handle PS3 games and have to cut a lot of content out and makes the game worst. Uhhhh...the Xbox 360 can handle every single game on the PS3, it's a matter of disk space.

    Personally I don't think it is going to happen, just because of the director's views of the Xbox360, then again his boss might twist his arm, but even that I doubt.

    ps3 version of FF13 didn suffer from xbox 360 port except for taking around 8-10 more months to release it . Without 360 version , ps3 would had got the same game. 360 version was still great , one of the most beautiful game around and everything was working great, gameplay, great menu and didnt saw a single bug.

    For versus 13 it will be the same , it will change nothing for ps3 users.

    Oh and btw 360 FF13 sold for around 35% of all sales, wich is a lot.

    You got to love the Sony fanboys. Once they lose an exclusive they pretend they didn't want to play the game anyway. I can hear them crying now and preparing to write angry letters claiming Square Enix is biased and that they betrayed Sony. LOL
