 | Comment #8 by Joshua55 Monday, July 14, 2008 @ 07:11:47 PM i had totally forgotten about this game at this years E3, cant believe 360 get this game, one less reason to buy a PS3, CANT WAIT!!!! |
 | Comment #9 by graf1k Monday, July 14, 2008 @ 07:11:58 PM I'm still glad I have my PS3 but wow, talk about ripping a huge feather out of Sony's cap. I always thought Microsoft needed to do something like this to make it in Asia, but I still was in disbelief seeing it become a reality. Amazing. |
 | Comment #10 by ManxomeFoe Monday, July 14, 2008 @ 07:12:21 PM The Microsoft guy looked so smug after the trailer finished. |
 | Comment #11 by PHIN1SH Monday, July 14, 2008 @ 07:12:33 PM I hate you Square Enix. That was the whole reason why I bought my PS3. You better announce KH 3 for me to get over this, and PS3 only as much as I would love seeing it on 360 |
 | Comment #12 by irishpuglover Monday, July 14, 2008 @ 07:13:55 PM I can't believe it. I was so hoping it would come to the 360 cause I do not have a PS3. YES!!!!! |
 | Comment #13 by Vacik Dris Monday, July 14, 2008 @ 07:15:07 PM Heh, just caught the announcement over at Kotaku. I have a PS3, but I think I'll take FFXIII on a 360 test drive when it's available. :) |
 | Comment #14 by odysseus123 Monday, July 14, 2008 @ 07:15:11 PM I knew it as soon as I saw that Square Enix guy came back on stage. |
| Comment #15 by What The Buck? Monday, July 14, 2008 @ 07:16:25 PM hehehehehe.... He came back on stage and i was like... Here comes the bombshell!!!!!!!!!! |
 | Comment #16 by hestar Monday, July 14, 2008 @ 07:16:26 PM @ 11 Ditto.What was sony thinking letting final fantasy goto the xbox.ohh well.I wonder if xbox will get verus too?.man Microsoft surprising the hell outta me good job!!! |

 | Comment #18 by Lord of Orion Monday, July 14, 2008 @ 07:19:46 PM ALRIGHT!!! |
 | Comment #19 by mark212 Monday, July 14, 2008 @ 07:20:05 PM Well I already knew it was coming out from the bonus disc on 12 but not that it was going to Xbox... I so cant wait.. Damn that make 4 games i know im going to be getting soon |
 | Comment #20 by chaosisover Monday, July 14, 2008 @ 07:20:07 PM im so happy, even though i have a PS3. I really wanted kingdom hearts 3 though =/ |
 | Comment #21 by Ricardini Monday, July 14, 2008 @ 07:20:21 PM Im still trying to decipher 80% of what Square Enix's President said during his entire Speech, i think his mouse ate his tongue :D Amazing news tho 'VEWWY HAPPY'. |
 | Comment #22 by FailedSeppuku Monday, July 14, 2008 @ 07:20:40 PM After 7 i thought it would never get any better, then the awesome 12 took over my life and i've never looked back. Hope they keep the new system, leave the old jrpg fight system for the handhelds and keep the realtime on the fly fighting!!! |
 | Comment #23 by purplerogue Monday, July 14, 2008 @ 07:20:55 PM i think i just crapped myself with excitement i love the FF series got them all off of every console and i think ill play'em all again before this one FTW the Dragoon class |
| Comment #24 by What The Buck? Monday, July 14, 2008 @ 07:21:17 PM Lol, Go to PS3Fanboy.com They seem very sad =( |
| Comment #25 by chaosisover Monday, July 14, 2008 @ 07:21:39 PM also where can i see the trailer, cause i was watching G4 and it said at Microsoft's request, they zoomed out, so you couldn't read for shit. |
 | Comment #26 by IanAHD Monday, July 14, 2008 @ 07:22:18 PM haha at ps3 owners :D thats another exclusive they lost XD |
 | Comment #27 by lozerbick Monday, July 14, 2008 @ 07:22:50 PM GAME AND MATCH, MICROSOFT WINS THIS GENERATION |

 | Comment #29 by xX0neAndOnlyXx Monday, July 14, 2008 @ 07:24:46 PM OMG Hell YEA, now I'll be even HAPPIER if they announce Kingdom Hearts 3 for the 360 which would be the best since i don't wanna buy a PS3 and don't intend to any time soon |
 | Comment #30 by ferrara316 Monday, July 14, 2008 @ 07:26:04 PM simply amazing |
 | Comment #31 by Simo13 Monday, July 14, 2008 @ 07:31:40 PM damn sony must be getting more and more pissed, all their exclusives are escaping them. well have to wait and watch the sony conference to see if they can recover |
 | Comment #32 by Belirahc Monday, July 14, 2008 @ 07:31:52 PM Thank you... I am so glad they are getting more RPGs on the 360. ^_^ And to see Square Enix put the FF series on the 360 just makes me glad I bought one even more |
 | Comment #33 by MissMorphine Monday, July 14, 2008 @ 07:37:31 PM FFXIII was the only reason i kept my ps3 guess theres no reason to have a ps3 now wooohooooo! |
 | Comment #34 by silentbob0 Monday, July 14, 2008 @ 07:40:16 PM damn, why the hell do I own a PS3! It is worthless for games except MGS4 |
 | Comment #35 by Saracin Monday, July 14, 2008 @ 07:42:53 PM When they had him come out last I thought, "He's gotta have Final Fantasy up his sleeve." Then he walked off and I'm thinking, "Huh, or well the other....Wait a minute!" God that trailer was beautiful. |
 | Comment #36 by rsxdelerium Monday, July 14, 2008 @ 07:43:37 PM I don't know anything about XIII, but if I have to pay to play it after I buy the damn game itself .. no way I already pay for live. If not .. I might have to get it |
 | Comment #37 by TA Sasuke Monday, July 14, 2008 @ 07:46:58 PM that was so incredibly suprising! i laughed heartily when the guy said "Former Playstation Exclusives..." |
 | Comment #38 by JCFG Monday, July 14, 2008 @ 07:55:50 PM FF13 with achievements woohoo!! |

 | Comment #40 by ninja patience Monday, July 14, 2008 @ 08:09:13 PM Wish i could see all the the sony fan boys faces!!!!! |
 | Comment #41 by TristanValendro Monday, July 14, 2008 @ 08:12:08 PM That has to have been the biggest attack in the next-gen wars. Hard to find the words to the devestation LOL |
| Comment #42 by Albedo Piazzolla Monday, July 14, 2008 @ 08:24:08 PM I came O.O |
 | Comment #43 by CptButtonMasher Monday, July 14, 2008 @ 08:32:38 PM hellz yah, since i'm waiting for sony to send my ps3 back for the 3rd time i'm glad i'll actually have a console that works to play this game on, btw, anyone want a 40gb ps3, makes a good coaster or paperweight =P |
 | Comment #44 by Pedro7_2000 Monday, July 14, 2008 @ 08:35:35 PM WOW...just WOW! |

 | Comment #50 by thetank09 Monday, July 14, 2008 @ 09:17:30 PM They need to remake ff VIII(my personal favorite) on the 360, and now it seems even more possible, but still unlikely :( |

 | Comment #52 by JoeCool7835 Monday, July 14, 2008 @ 09:43:36 PM Well, this news kicks ass! Now for the big question... when will Metal Gear Solid 4 jump off the PS3? |
| Comment #53 by Sollist Monday, July 14, 2008 @ 09:44:18 PM Another reason why a PS3 is just a George Foreman grill knock-off with about as many uses. |
 | Comment #54 by FoxTenson Monday, July 14, 2008 @ 09:48:58 PM Nail in the ps3 coffin! Now if only Nipon Ichi will come of with makai wars and disgaea 3... |

| Comment #59 by opdef Monday, July 14, 2008 @ 10:25:20 PM This is the only game I'd have bought a PS3 for, and now it's coming to the 360 looks like I'll never need to. Great news!! |

 | Comment #78 by tpb Tuesday, July 15, 2008 @ 11:37:06 AM OOOH Yes! Now all we need is for Konami to cave and abandon MGS4 being ps3 specific and theres absolutely no reason to buy a ps3 |
 | Comment #79 by Paulpaps Tuesday, July 15, 2008 @ 11:56:12 AM Great, I never managed to play FFXII cos it was on PS2 and mine died years ago, but this WILL be getting bought. |
 | Comment #80 by Giantllama Tuesday, July 15, 2008 @ 06:51:00 PM Well, now that this game is on 360, if it wasn't for Metal Gear 4 I would have never bought the crap PS3. Oh well, good to know this game will be on 360. |
 | Comment #81 by Axe Argonian Tuesday, July 15, 2008 @ 08:57:35 PM Just give us Metal Gear Solid 4, and then I will be even happier. Final Fantasy XIII will be incredible. |

 | Comment #85 by xX|Triple K|Xx B100dh0uNd Wednesday, July 16, 2008 @ 08:03:22 PM Sony said something about "genre busting kick ass games". They then revealed the incredible, genre-busting... er, Ratchet and Clank. HAHA We nicked their best effort just like they try to steal everything off us... and FAIL! This is the happiest gaming day of my life! Sony suck! FF rules! |
