This was brought up on the Epic Battle Cry podcast. And an excellent point was made in that no one is going to play this game on both systems, comparing the two versions.

Still, I think people that own a 360 and not a PS3 should jsut be happy that XIII went multiplatform, instead of bitching over small details. I mean it's not like the horrible difference between Bayonetta's performance on the consoles. Which btw, failed in both quality AND load times for the PS3 version. That's right, it played better in the Failbox lol

Yeah, well, SEGA handled the PS3 port, and the only thing SEGA's done right in the last decade has been Ryu ga Gotoku, so that's not too much of a surprise.

Also it's not just texture quality/AA/video compression. Later in the game the 360 version gets some major FPS drops in crowded areas.

What a waste of money, if you ask me.

It only went multi-platform in the US. In Japan it's only on PS3.

And that's just my gripe about combat. The rest of the game so far for me has been running down a path, fighting some guys, having my health fully restored after the fight so the next fight is just as easy as the first one, watching a cutscene, playing as one of the characters for a few seconds when it could be a cutscene instead..... and annoying voice acting from pink haired girl (grr hate @ her).

After a certain plot point, the battle system will get a little shaken up and monster strength will noticably increase. The "Paradigm" mode will be added. With the default characters after that event, you'll basically have Lightning in Commando mode, Snow alternating between a support attacker and a tank, and your third member alternating between support attacker and healer.

And during the next boss battle, if you don't switch to the defense setup before it uses Crystal Rain, there's a good chance Lightning will die.

Oh, and a sphere grid-esque leveling system for their different battle modes.

I have a PS3, A PS2, an Xbox 360, A Wii, and a DS!


And FYI I'm getting FFXIII for the PS3, Obviously.

What I like (and hate at times) is that as you go on, the story switches focus to follow different characters if they split up, which means you get control over different people as the leader. It makes you realise that just because you are in control, you don't have to be the one dealing damage, as I still use Sazh (Disco Barret) as a Synergist more often in combat before switching him to a fighting role. But thank god that didn't last long. He annoys me.
