Final Fantasy XIII Won't Have Installation

October 22, 2009 in News comments 7

In the latest Famitsu, Square Enix's Tetsuya Nomura and Motomu Toriyama discussed Final Fantasy XIII, Final Fantasy Versus XIII, Final Fantasy Agito XIII and a little bit of Parasite Eve: Third Birthday. Most of it wasn't overly new information, though it was mentioned that FFXIII will be install-free on the PS3.

Toriyama also shared some technical details on the game. Save data will take up 500KB. Trophy data takes up 3,080KB (yes, it looks like the game supports Trophies!). In case you were stocking up munitions for a big system wars battle, there won't be a hard disk installation.

Worried about load times? Don't be. The only time you'll see load times is when you transition from town to field. Once you're out on the field, the game is seamless. Toriyama explained that the game's tech staff tackled loading early on in order to keep the experience as smooth as possible.

      Maybe because they started work before they were a requirement? By the time they went standard the game was announced on 360 as well so they probably just copy and pasted the Achievements into the Trophies.

        It doesn't matter when you start development, can't believe you got thumbed up for that comment. It matters when you release your game. Ever since Sony has made it mandatory to have trophies every subsequent release has had trophies.

          I'm not saying they wouldn't do it, I'm just saying maybe they felt like saying "Okay we finished our trophy list" was worth mentioning. I don't see what you're getting all uppity about.

    Parasite Eve is worth the wait. As is Agito.

    Oh, and that stuff about FFXIII is pretty all right...

    Yay! No install! I am hoping a certain company *cough*capcom*cough* decides to take pointers.
