Call of Duty Black Ops Voted ‘Best Game Ending’ Of All Time
18 hours 45 mins ago
Brand new trailers for Final Fantasy XIII and Final Fantasy Versus XIII were shown at this years Square Enix Party, but fans were also treated to a behind-the-scenes documentary presented by Tetsuya Nomura, that not only shed some new light on the upcoming Final Fantasy XIII demo, but also showed gameplay footage of both FFXIII and Versus XIII.
In fact, the next sequence was a round table style discussion with Motomu Toriyama, Hajime Tabata and others, where they discussed elements of Final Fantasy XIII. The inclusion of Versus XIII was specifically done to highlight that the development on the game was real, as the team had read numerous rumors online that stated that the game didn't exist. The developers also wanted to make a specific point about how Final Fantasy XIII is still being developed on the PS3 first, even with the recent announcement of the game crossing over to the Xbox 360. Apparently, the team is focusing on the PS3 as the main development platform, and will release the game in Japan first. The North American and European versions of Final Fantasy XIII on the PS3 will be held back until the 360 version is done so a simultaneous release can be made.
From there, the room of designers talked about the upcoming demo of Final Fantasy XIII, which will be included on the Blu-Ray disc of Final Fantasy VII Advent Children Complete. They aren't sure exactly which section of the game will be included on the disc, and they're still deciding what areas will be included for the demo itself, but it should be a large bonus for the disc. Nomura and his team also pointed out that while development on Final Fantasy XIII is fully underway, there are still a number of elements that need to be worked on, such as some characters that haven't been approved of yet, and other gameplay features. They also mentioned that while they're casting voice actors for the game's roles, they haven't made a decision yet, although they think that TGS might be the first time that such an announcement would be made.

That's almost like raising your hand in the middle of a math class lecture and asking the professor what's the capitol of China...
@ Cruxis Mana thanks for the reply
You asked about FF7 when nobody even brought it up nor did it really have much anything to do with the article. I apologize, but I'm in a rather bad mood today. And bad mood = an extremely low tolerance for a certain type of human being asking a certain type of question.
but when i was reading the article i wondered what the "big" ps3 exclusive was now that i know its a demo im a bit disappointed
The title says that it was shown, not that I had the videos anyways.
I'm beginning to think the Cell isn't as powerful as it's made out to be. Call me pessimistic, but it just seems that way.
Also, why are they only multiplatforming it in the US only? That's not as profitable as it could be.
If Blu Ray really is the only defining factor, then Sony's been severely overdoing their advertising of the PS3's power.
That quote was regarding Final Fantasy Versus XIII !
I'll edit it in now.
What ?
i ment 2 say y cant they just release the videos 2 the public.
In answer to the question though, it's because it's SquareEnix. They're stingy as *bleep*. ^^
