Final Fantasy XIII
Well, any of you familiar with Final Fantasy XIII know that the Playstation 3 owners have been laughing at how the Xbox 360 will have to use a lot of discs, opposed to the PS3 users only needing to use one disc. Now, straight from Square Enix’s mouth, Final Fantasy XIII will ship on about three (or more) DVDs.
The Final Fantasy XIII director made it clear that the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 versions of the game will indeed be identical. No differences in content what so ever. But, due to the limited size available on Xbox 360 DVDs, that version will have to ship with about 3 DVDs. So you should expect to get up from the couch about three times, which isn’t so bad when you think about it. We used to have to do that back in the day, it’s not the worst thing in the world. Regardless, you’re still going to be enjoying what the game has to offer, so anyone who really complains about this must be incredibly lazy and should get out more.
The Final Fantasy XIII director promises about 40 to 50 hours of gameplay on the main quest. That is a beastly and amazing amount of hours you’ll be getting out of this game. Still disappointed? Note, that is just the main quest. Square Enix is known for adding tons of side quests, made available to your character. You can also expect to get a fair amount of downloadable content created for this game, so I estimate you will get over 60 hours of gameplay assuming you play the game to the fullest. Though, the development team is still working on compressing game data. Most games out, this generation, can not even hold a candle to that amount of gameplay you’re getting. Final Fantasy XIII is screaming Game Of The Year.
The one thing that may disappoint you is how neither of the versions will have the native Japanese language track. So those of you who were hoping to get Japanese voice acting with English subtitles may be disappointed in that. But that should be the least of your worries. With the amount of praise and work going into this game, you won’t be able to leave disappointed after playing Final Fantasy XIII.
