Ffxiii limited collectors edition?

[Ernest]

Or you could say that Final Fantasy VII, at 10 Million games, sold more than the first six Nintendo Final Fantasy games combined.

The only reason I care is image. I was very annoyed when the game went Multi because I was feeling insecure about having bought a PS3. It wasn't about console wars or anything like that. I was so annoyed to learn that one of the games I'd invested in, would be playable on a cheaper console that all my friends had.

But, now that I am very secure with my PS3 purchase, it's mainly the other reason that annoys me. Which is that I feel going Multi hurts the image of Final Fantasy. It makes the series look like cheap, like it can't support itself on one system. Imagine if Halo went Multiplatform. You'd just think one word. "Whores".

On the other hand, It'd be nice to see those Xbox owners who held up a farce of superficiously hating the game, may come around. And an overall increase in sales for SquareEnix is always nice (assuming it encourages them to work harder). The problem is that according to sales, Playstation 3 exclusives sell 45% better than Multiplatform games on the PS3. When you consider the Multiplatform games that have come to the PS3, this is quite a feat.

People get excited about exclusives. ****en look at gaming websites all over the world. Their interface is plastered with Gods of War 3 news and videos, a game that is coming out in March also. Final Fantasy XIII will ultimately sell far more, but people get excited about exclusives because they rock the industries current standings.

I think Final Fantasy XIII could have sold more as an exclusive, than on both systems. Playstation owners get excited when they here an exclusive is coming to a store near them. Do you think 3 Million people bought Resistance: Fall of Man because it was just such an amazing game? Hell no. They bought it because Microsoft and Nintendo don't have it.

I know so many friends who aren't total fans, but completed X and XII, are totally disinterested in XIII. I wonder why.

I don't know why Final Fantasy VII sold so many.. it failed! I agree that they should have made Final Fantasy XIII Ps3 exclusive though!

at this point its crazy that we still haven't heard or seen anything related to a collectors edition FF XIII.

Actually I'd be happy for PS3 Master Chief fans everywhere.
Personally not the type of game I prefer, but whatever.

I'm not so sure, at least not in Australia. I can't talk for the whole world, but here a lot of the RPG crowd migrated to 360 and a lot of twitch gamers went over to the PS3. I can't think of a great RPG the PS3 got here that the 360 didn't get at the same time if not considerably earlier. I know I hated having to wait for an imported copy of Demon Souls (possibly one of the best games this generation as far as I'm concerned) and though I'm enjoying White Knight Chronicles considerably, it's weak review scores were justified.

Maybe XII turned them off? I mean it was a good game but it killed my illusion that FF games would remain higher than any other game series to me.

I also wouldn't be surprised if VERSUS gets ported as it seems to be something SE keep doing of late. Granted if it's like their 360 to PS3 games people might be waiting the better part of a year, but meh. Although on the other hand the 360 to PS3 ports make more sense because of the ratio of PS3 users to 360 users in Japan so that speculation is weak at best.

On the topic of the PSX ports someone mentioned, 3 was never ported to a non Nintendo console and the PSX versions were often inferior especially with their longer load times. It was almost painful to go from SNES to PSX and you really noticed when grinding.

Being a console fanboy is one thing (I know I can be, even if I do play all consoles), but feeling happy or positive about someone missing out on a game just because they didn't buy the same console is terrible. Enjoying an exclusive like Demon Souls or Lost Odyssey I wish the game wasn't an exclusive just so everyone could enjoy it.

Oh and international people without a special edition, you have an alternative if you feel strongly about wanting one. Most games on both consoles seem to be open region these days. Just make sure it's the case with FFXIII and import a special edition.
