Final Fantasy XIII Development Being Led On PS3Posted 5:34pm Mon Aug 04, 2008 by Zach Lott Tags: Final Fantasy XIII, Square Enix, Xbox 360, Playstation 3

Microsoft provided one of the few big announcement at this year's E3 event in the form of the news that Final Fantasy XIII is hitting the 360 as well as the PS3, but that doesn't change the fact that Square Enix is leading the game's development on the PS3 and will port the game to the 360 later, according to GameDaily.

"We haven't changed the direction of the development. We're making the PS3 version first, and then porting to the 360 later," said director Motomu Toriyama in a video shown at Japan's DK Sigma 3713 event. "I'm telling them to not think about the Xbox 360 right now. We can think about it after the development kits arrive."

As noted by GameDaily, this will likely push back the release of the game in North America even further because there will be a simultaneous release for both platforms in the West. We'll let you know if a North American release date is announced in the future.

E3 2008: Final Fantasy XIII To Hit Xbox 360Posted 3:44pm Mon Jul 14, 2008 by Zach Lott Tags: Final Fantasy XIII, Square Enix, Microsoft, Xbox 360, Sony, Playstation 3, E3, E3 2008

Sqaure Enix President Yoichi Wada dropped a bombshell at the end of Microsoft's press conference today, as he revealed that Final Fantasy XIII is no long exclusive to the PS3 and will be available for the Xbox 360 on release day.

This is huge news for Sony, as one could now argue that they have to show at least one huge game at their conference tommorow to show that they have quality exclusives in the pipeline for the PS3. There's no doubt that they'll be facing pressure to show that the PS3 can compete with the 360's lineup of exclusives, which includes Fable 2 and Gears of War 2.

Stay tuned, we'll keep you updated with all the big announcements.

Square Enix Reveals E3 LineupPosted 7:31pm Wed Jul 09, 2008 by Zach Lott Tags: Square Enix, E3

With E3 just days away, many publishers are finalizing what games they'll be showing at this year's event, and Square Enix is no different, as they've revealed a full list of what to expect from their part of the show. Everything from the iPod to the 360 and PS3 will be graced with Square's newest batch of RPGs, including a couple of new IPs to compliment their plethora of remade classics.

Those remakes will all be appearing only on handhelds, though, with Dragon Quest IV, Final Fantasy IV, and the recently announced Chrono Trigger remake hitting the DS while Star Ocean: First Departure and Star Ocean: Second Evolution, remakes of the first two Star Ocean games, will arrive on the PSP. Two new DS games will be shown in the form of Exit and Legend of Kage 2 with the iPod getting Song Summoner: The Unsung Heroes.
