^ because its surely up their right now
The funny thing is…Sony doesn’t care about losing anything. All they care about right now is Blu-ray and OLED. PS3 is not and has never been a video game console…eveything introduced is TV or Video based. Watch the big announcement tomorrow is that DVR functionality is to be introduced the PS3. I want a video game system not a fu&#ing cable box. Stop being arrogant and release a non-shooter game you slags
all I can say is, sprint ur A$$ over to Wada (or whatever that SE president guys name is) and summon your pay check and start jotting down some numbers, because you really cant afford to lose FFXIII just like that.
Couldn’t of said it better myself TheVesra.
Hey,
I’ve been reading all of your comments and I understand the anger. I was actually angry myself a bit earlier but I’m calm now. Listen to you all…do you guys really think that SE really cares about our comments and complaints? Really? When M$ walks in that room with those money bags wata turned into a pure B!tch! I hope Square Enix burns to the ground with those M$ money bags!
Wata: “I’M RICH B!TCH!!!”
So much for japanese people being honorable. I guess only Konami and Kojima still have that honor.
or you could just totaly ignore it I mean,
its only the biggest exclusive title any platform could have
Sweet!! I doenloaded the fallout and Destroy all Humans Videos!
@ 757 notmarealname | July 14th, 2008 at 8:22 pm
Your comment is truly funny dude. You really think Sony still have an option? The only something like this could still happened. All the 360s around would have to RROD at the same time. I’m sure M$ already paid SE and signed contracts about this deal. For Wata and SE it’s money in the bank. M$ now have SE in their back pockets like some street hooker on the corner of Hunts Point!
Those bold guys over there are M$ are real/true hustlers! Many they play dirty!
I have a feeling that sony will have a “good” e3 conference. I also have the feeling that they will not deliver anything “shocking” or “spectacular” like were all expecting. We all have general idea of what theyll announce. The problem i see is that sony is too “by the book.” Like Ghostm said MS are hustlers. What do “hustlers” do..? Theyll lie, cheat and steal to get ahead. That FF stunt MS pulled was some sneaky sh*t. Something i dont think is part of sonys business practice. Didnt they say that they dont need to “buy” exclusivity to games like the “competition?” What sony will do in their conference is talk about games we heard about from last year that got delayed, maybe some new ones, talk about services like Home and maybe a movie/music download service and… well thats probably it. I hope im wrong and they tear up this e3 and make everyone forget about FF. I just dont see that happening.
the only good i see out of all this is that the 360 version is ganna be made AFTER the ps3 version is completed so thats pretty much it, but ganna be released at the same time so thank you sony for delaying the game probably for…..hmmmm. probably another year
@ 763 WestSiide | July 14th, 2008 at 8:46 pm
I agree man, Sony probably didnt see this one coming because Wata said himself that the decision was pretty recent. And sony can’t just come up with a miracle out of the blue today other than what was already planned (hopefully they have big things planned btw).
@ 762 Ghostm | July 14th, 2008 at 8:30 pm
Agreed. As much as I hate M$ and their greedy ways, I kinda wish sony was more like them and start payin up for exclusives. I’ll admit, if I was a xbox owner, I would be pretty happy with M$ right now.
Is it possible for Sony to stop concentrating on Home and maybe buy a third party exclusive? I’m investing in Playstation for the games. Not community features.
Awesome! Here’s hoping for a Killzone 2 demo!
@Notmarealname
I highly doubt that sony was unaware of this. My question though is, if your shouting and advertising “exclusive” on a certain game to a specific console, wouldnt that mean that both companies have had to come to some kind kind of legal agreement that would make it true? Because it seems like SqEnix basically said Fu*k You sony and decided to do business what a company (MS) that is clearly in competition with a company (sony) they had a prior agreement with. As big as FF may be I would tell SqEnix Fu*k You back and lets see how many copies of FF you Motherfu**ers sell alone on the 360. I think Sqenix needs sony more than sony needs FF.
please sony make a better online store to win to the fuking xbox and don’t let your exclusives go like final fantasy 13 because that was one of your tronp cards. and make a deal with apple to win vs microsoft. demet………………..
(sorry for my bad English)
FF13 is certainly the biggest loss Sony took but it wasn’t the only. How about Rockband being a timed exclusive? I wonder if this has anything to do with Sony sucking up to Activision and screwing Harmonix on the compatibility patch. Also now M$ has Portal 2 exclusively. Another sad loss.
In fact it’s so sad GLaDOS wrote us a break up song about it to be sung to the tune of “Still Alive.”
This was a sell out…
They made me an offer
I couldn’t refuse.
It’s hard to overstate their generous pay off.
Microsoft X-box…
They buy what they want
because they can.
For the good of all of us
except the true gaming fans.
But there’s no use crying
over Sony’s mistake
They just can’t compete when X-Box shells out the cake.
And the deals get done
Sony lost each game that’s fun
to the people on X-box Live.
Now please don’t be angry.
We can still play on Portal 1.
Even though you’ve beaten it.
So soundly.
And beat it again.
And one time without ever dying.
And all without achievement points
as inspiration for you.
Now there’s plenty of new games
coming down the line
And who knows but Sony might release them on time.
So be GLaD I got bought
Think of all the Themes you’ve got
that you can’t get on X-Box Live.
I’d better be leaving.
Microsoft wants me by their side.
Maybe you’ll have great new games to play with.
Little Big Planet!
That was a joke, Ha Ha, FAT CHANCE!
Anyway their install base
Is so big I had no choice.
Look at me still talking when there’s publicity to do
When I look at PSN it makes me GlaD I’m not you.
I have Beta tests to run
There is gaming to be done
By the lucky folks with X-Box Live.
Yes their gaming on X-Box Live.
I’m paid off long and I’m on X-Box Live.
I feel exclusive here on X-Box Live.
You wait for HOME while I’m on X-Box Live.
And while you’re waiting I’m on X-Box Live
X-Box Live.
X-Box Live.
I am highly disappointed in sony for not fighting to keep this or in other words took pre cautions. But those who say sony is dead… no. This is one game that will be multi platform so im good. Im just hoping they’ll put the game on multiple disc on 360 so we’ll have a nice lengthy story. But think about it… Xbox really only has Gears of War and supposedly Halo for its “OMG this is insane exclusives” Thats all. Then comes up its average good game which are mostly multi platform. Fable 2 looks nice, NG2 could make a gamer develop anger issues (that of DMC3 or NG hasn’t) but then you got a nice FPS for PS resistance and the new infamous that has promise. IMO it is still a tie to both. All that “Im gonna sell ps3 cause it is now a 360 port” no. Im pissed cause its gonna take longer to make really and that to cut the cost to make the game, SE might take some of the game out. Im very worried about that.
I may be wrong, but I thought that FFXIII was pushing the boundries of the Blu-Ray disc, even the double density ones, so sitting at 50G of space.
If it is coming out on 360, even with a DD DVD, you would still be looking at 6 discs compared to PS3’s 1.
Unless… Sony’s big news tomorrow is that the 360 is going to feature a Blu-Ray player addon… <— This is me trolling
The only thing that upsets me if I am reading the news releases right is that the PS3 version will be done, and then they will work on the 360 version and release them both at the same time..
Oh well, I have both the systems, will still buy it for PS3, changing discs sucks, just look at Lost Odyssey.
Ill buy it for ps3 too probably cause to me it feels right. Im used to ps3 as ive been with the PS brand since i was 6. Loved when i used to sneak and play my moms Tomb Raider game and watched her play FFVII. But having multiple discs for one game are annoying. Ive broke both disc one for both of my copies of FFVII. I had the original one and the greatest hits one. I’m so unlucky :/
i cannot wait to see peoples reactions tomorrow after our conference..MS had their shot and threw a sucker punch at the end, now it’s our turn to throw a nuke…stay up my brethren all will be good….
Sounds good. Not as good as 360 getting access to Final Fantasy VII did to MS fanboys, but hey… we’ve got… what was it again?
My bad, I meant XIII. Jesus… I even took Latin for a couple years and still screwed it up, lol.
Woah, Do or Die time!!!! Don’t let us down Sony! I can’t wait for tomorrow!

haha
whew, now that im passed my pissed off point. screw u still square. i just wanna hold on tight to versus while we still have it. i better get star ocean 4 on my ps3 since you screwed me again for giving ms the last remnant timed holiday exclusive. and i want a really really exlusive KH3 and ff7 on my ps3 announced tomorrow.
@768
You must not have remembered what people were saying when FF7 went from N64 to the PSOne. Square came out just fine. The N64, on the other hand. SquareEnix does need a platform but there are many platforms available Sony needs FF13 a lot more than SquareEnix needs the PS3.
Sony wasn’t willing to pony up the cash for exclusivity. It what was a short sighted move and now they are going to be stuck paying for the marketing around release, before the Final Fantasy brand gets associated with the 360.
add me betrayed people!!!! AguilarX on psn.
Forgive me if this posts twice, somehow this isnt showing up, maybe Im not allowed to post URL’s.
Funny comic I saw about a year ago on another site, very funny, especially now.
Originally it was just a rumor… now…
www(dot)ctrlaltdel-online(dot)com/comic(dot)php?d=20070511
they got infinite undiscovery too, what do we have? versus… for now then they’ll have it too.
I just got the news 1 hour ago.. ive read blogs from gametrailer to 1 up to here.. reading everyones comments of how pissed they are calmed me down….i aint even mad because i got Faith in sony for 2morow.. i love sony!! everything is sony in my house! vaio to 3 1080p full hd tvs!! so dont let me down sony!!!
Everything will be alright!!
My PS3 is on eBay right now !!!!
or did i say: “my blu-ray player?”
like Erick Cartmen woul say, “THIS TOTALY SUKS AS@” and i would like to say, MS BEFORE E3 IS OVER U WILL SUK MY BALLS”
1 sony loses ff esclusivity, very bad for future ps3 sales, especially in north america
2 psn seems to never be able to catch up to xbl in terms of feature, quality
3 while sony keeps promising, competition actually delivers, people are getting tired of promises… ( home among other things which would be an imbarassment if the xbox live similar service actually comes out first )
4 sony seems to always be too late on acting, look at the iphone for example… 1 ml sales on day 1, and with the ituns game delivery system, i would consider it competition….but sony wont until its too late, same as with they did with the 360 or wii
and finally, unfortunately every time squeenix takes sides….its like a warning, just like it happened with nintendo and ff7… maybe the tides are turning, and sony must come down to earth, realize that they are not god, and start working and delivering as good and as fast as they can, or they are done… with competition from ms, nintendo and now apple as well…. WAKE UP SONY
OMG just saw the new inFamous and Resistance trailers, all is forgiven!!!! OMG tomorrow will be EPIC!
I have both systems. Love both systems. I just can’t understand how someone could put so much emotional investment into a videogame company. Look, I am as big a nerd as anyone, but sh1t man, get a life, there are more important things in life to worry about. Listen PS3 fanboys: YOU’RE STILL GETTING THE GAME!
Sony: Are you crazy or something??? FFXIII il your last KA and it’s the only way to sucees in europe and us…
wake up and buy Square and Rockstar and give up games because thausand and thausand people sell a ps3 and bring a 360…you’re the past like sega or Nintendo…
i can’t trust your lie anymore
ex Sony Fanboy

My PS3 is on eBay right now !!!!
——————————————–
Nilas how much?
Since most of you are selling their PS3. I need one cheap (150 euro’s max) for my bedroom & so I can play FF13 in bed.
Want to sell one to me, add me to your friendslist, send me a message. PSN ID: ‘xenix’.
Sony please answer to all your fans here how the hell final fantasy 13 slipped its exclusivity!!!!!!!
We remember 2.41, waiting on white knight chronicles (don’t screw this one up!)but you must understand Ps3 owners want j-rpgs!!!
Which ironically Xbox is gettin!!!!
I admit your lineup for E3 is awesome but there were 2 games I didn’t want to see compromised which is FF 13 and FF Versus 13 (call square, buy square keep this exclusive!!!)well there goes my fond memory for this E3
I truly support Sony but each of this f&ck ups make it harder! PLEASE GET UR ACT TOGETHER SONY
WE LIKE RPGS!!!! (especially exclusive ones that uses the ps3 horsepower!!!)
Based on the number of apparently dissatisfied and/or disillusioned PS3 owners posting on this board, I would like to make an offer. If anyone on this post is actually serious about selling their PS3, I am interested in acquiring a 60GB original release model. My PSN ID is Blackvapor.

“seeing as it has lightning in it i wonder wat yu r going to be doing in bed with it ;)”
Didn’t you know? PS3 in the bedroom make for magical times man :D
@Xenix, you don’t get it do you? This is not about the exclusivity about a game, this is about a large group of potential PS3 owners who haven’t got a PS3 yet and among this group there are like millions of RPG fans waiting for FFXIII.
According to Chou some guy at NeoGaf Sony didn’t know “anything” about this. Sony if this is really, really, really true, god let this be true then I feel more like so sorry for you and even hate the guts of M$ even more!!!
Here’s the info:

I’m not sure just what Sony can have to respond to such news but we’ve got to allow them their ‘day in court’.
Talked to a bunch of my contacts over at Sony today and none of them saw this coming.
I’m pretty surprised news of this magnitude did not leak or reach Sony’s ears.
Still, we should expect good things out of Sony tomorrow. They’re not one to sit back on their laurels after E3 2006.
@Onna76
Ik begrijp best dat je teleurgesteld ben in de keuze van SquarEnix, maar kom op! PS2 mensen die van plan zijn om een PS3 te kopen voor FF13, zullen dat zeker doen. Ze speelden hun FF games op een Sony console & zal dat zeker weer doen. Tegen de tijd dat FF13 uitkomt, zal de PS3 winst maken voor Sony & een prijsdrop zal zeker komen.
Ik kan niet de toekomst kijken wat voor een impact dit teweeg brengt voor Sony, maar FF13 is gewoon te duur om te maken om exclusief te blijven.
Damn I think microsoft has one of the best political advisors money can buy. With this announcement Sony’s commitment to PS3 will really be questioned. Ps3 owners around the world are disappointed!!!
Sony if u didn’t know about this announcemnet MS got ur work cut out for you in damage control. This is a LOT WORSE than the 2.40 freezin systems. Trust me on that.
Sony, are you sleeping?
if so please quit game business and leave it to M$
@Xenix, huh? do I know you? That was in Dutch people. I can’t think too straight, what you’d expect after only about 4 hours of sleep. I guess a new reason now is to be pissed about is the stunt that SE pulled off with M$ against Sony if Sony truly didn’t know anything about this. To be honest, that doesn’t drive me away from Sony, but even pulls me even closer to them.
Expensive or not, exclusive or not, but its the stab in the back that did it.
We Want Gears of war 2 this November…if Microsoft stole an exclusive ,you need to stole an exclusive too
Do you understand that you are real in truble now…
