How much of this is due to the size of the game and how much is due to Square Enix being rubbish at data compression?

This will come off as offensive but your comment implies you're easily fooled...Aura Guardian said:
Anyways, as long as the case works and isn't inconvenient and swapping CDs isn't a Major Payne then I doubt it's that big of a deal... in fact I'm surprised we have a topic about it, I can only guess that they didn't want to bring up Final Fantasy in really conversations so they had to make it an official thing.
This hullabaloo over more than one disc is silly loads of games had more than one disc and who cares if it does the only problem will be back tracking through the game if you missed stuff because of partition but then again that ends up happening in games anyway so you can't complain about that.
I've got X360 and PS3...
Gee, what console should I buy it for? The one with the single blu-ray disc for every single game released to this point or the one that still uses dvd's and has probably never been able to release a jRPG with less than 2 discs...

Well, yes, your TV may be able to support 1080p, but people neglecting to set their devices to 1080p output is pretty common. That might be why you're not seeing much difference. If your settings are correct, well... I don't know what to say. Between setting up an Xbox 360 on a CRT television at 480p, and on an HDTV at 720p, I see an immediate and significant difference in the clarity of the menus alone.Pillypill said:
O'course, if you meant that there's no visual difference between a blu-ray disc and the now-defunct HD-DVD format, then I'm going to guess that you've missed the point a little.
In regards to your "why is a blu-ray player packed in with the PS3 when I don't need it" comments... I'm not quite sure how you could say such a thing, without some fairly sizeable misconceptions of how a PS3 is built. They didn't "pack in" a blu-ray player. The PS3 is simply capable of reading blu-ray discs. Which is useful, since every PS3 game you buy in disc-form, is written on a blu-ray disc. It is what the PS3 does. The fact that you can play normal DVDs and blu-ray movies on your PS3 is a footnote, it's a side effect of the technology that was already going into the console. It's not something they went out of their way to include. Buying a PS3 means that you don't need to buy a blu-ray player; it does not mean that you were sold some kind of videogame console-blu ray player composite device.
Sounds intriguing. Most of my favorite games are the ones with the most replayability and total content, so as long as the developers of this game can fill up the three discs for FFXIII equally, I'll be content.
Surprise surprise. Who cares? If you have a 360 only and you want to play ff then you will buy it and it will be fun. If you own a ps3 and you want to play ff then you will have a little more fun. It's not a bad thing, it is just a 'thing'.
Thank God I said 'probably'...D_987 said:
Knew I was forgetting something!
Stange isn't it, the action-focussed jRPG's always seem to take up more space than the classic turn-based ones...
Though it probably has more to do with all the FMV's than anything else.
I recieved Eternal Sonata for PS3, still got to buy Tales of Vesperia (normally would have to review that one, but... change of plans).
Do you happen to know if Star Ocean is any good? It's the only other jRPG I still gotta look in to.
I have a PS3 and an XBox 360, so I felt a little at odds in respect to which platform to choose. I kind of liked the idea of multiple discs (nostalgia got the better of my senses), but the XBox 360 version doesn't come out until the third quarter of 2010, so I guess I'll buy it for PS3.
Looking forward to a little more info about Versus too; hopefully there'll be a more focus on promoting that after FFXIII has been released.

You're a moron if you're not going to buy a great game because its multi-plat.
By that logic I wouldn't have gotten to enjoy RE5, Fallout 3, Rock Band, BlazBlue, Madden 10, TES: Oblivion, CoD4 and the upcoming Batman: AA, Borderlands and Dragon Age: Origins.
As good as inFamous and LBP are, they can't hold my attention for years waiting on god of War 3.
