Rumor: Final Fantasy XIII for Xbox 360?
Square Enix recently unwrapped details on their new franchise focused on the Final Fantasy series called Fabula Nova Crystallis – Final Fantasy XIII. The 3 titles – FFXIII, FF Versus XIII and FFXIII Agito – are all currently in development, with the first two being already confirmed for a planned release on the Playstation 3.
Due to Square Enix’s association with Microsoft (Final Fantasy XI), rumors are now flying that one or more of the ‘Fabula’ titles could be heading for the Xbox 360 or Xbox Live Arcade. Possible confirmation of this can be found from a quote by Yochi Wada, Square Enix President, who stated “We plan on solidifying our plans by E3 to offer both on the PS3 and Xbox 360, or place both on just one [system].”
Obviously, E3 has now passed, but there is still an anonymous source (that has been right with information before) that say it is still going to happen.
My opinion? Well, it’s certainly possible. After all, the franchise is already multi-platform, and the concepts for the Playstation 3 titles have yet to be approved by Sony; thus, no confirmed exclusivity. But my question is, why not confirm this at E3 if it was happening?
In conclusion, you can make sure that regardless of the outcome, QJ will let you know the truth when it surfaces.
