Makes sense. Still would appreciate Gilgamesh, but you're right. We need a Biggs and Wedge.Magnatek said:
No Installation for Final Fantasy XIII PS3
- Thread starter John Funk
- Start date
Good to know, and hasn't there been quite a change recently with Killzone 2 requiring no large install though apparently the Hard-drive IS used, but only many small caches and only a couple hundred MB at a time. Did Uncharted: Drake's Fortune need an install? I know Uncharted 2 doesn't.
It's strange that third party games released on PS3 and 360 all to often require massive installs and still look inferior to the 360 version. The recent Ghostbusters game being the worst example. This is the case with so many third party developers.
But it looks like Square have really put the effort in here to get the most out of PS3. The HDD is a crutch that is easy to lean on, they have clearly put a lot of effort into optimising the code which means I'll probably be getting the PS3 version of FFXIII rather than 360 version, even though I normally get the 360 version of multiplat games.
I just hope this trend with third party developers continues.

yeah and the 50+ gigs a blu-ray can hold will make the cartridge too expensive. also producing 8 gig carts isn't that cheapNimbus said:
Didn't know it wasn't a PC release, nevermind i'll emulate it in 5 years timeValiance said:Hm.
Yet another reason to get 'dat ps triple' as they call it.
FFXIII has no PC version, but I'm glad they don't have to wait for install times.
Hell, sometimes -I- don't wanna wait for install times.
Blimey, how did Squarenix manage to pull that one off with all the pretty graphics? I shall never understand the techinicalities of gaming... oh wells, more for me to enjoy I guess!
Well... Cloud WAS addicted to Mako...SirBryghtside said:
That's a start.
OT: That's good to hear. Although I was never really off-put by install times to begin with, it's a great idea to exclude them.
You may be right on the money betting it's Cid, Funk.CantFaketheFunk said:
That, or it's more happless fan service of Cloud Strife & Pals.

Sarah Palin joke?CantFaketheFunk said:
I'm only curious because she said that a lot. By most accounts she was attractive and by most accounts she was pretty...well...
You get my point.
I thought there was someone named Biggs and Wedge in every single Final Fantasy Game?Magnatek said:
I stand corrected, they are up to 32 GB. The 64 and 128 will be something with a different name.Nimbus said:
The 32 GB is called a Micro SDHC I believe.
Just not commercially available yet to my knowledge.
You are missing the fact that a blu-ray is fragile, the durability of SD cards is second to none in storable tiny media. I've put a few of mine through the wash on accident and they got the shit slapped and washed out of them. Came out working fine.cleverlymadeup said:
Even though I have enjoyed FF games in the past, and recently played FFVII again on the PSpiple, I really don't see myself buying this game. They're just too long.
I am very much under the time constraints in the article So many games, So little time [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/issues/issue_224/6669-So-Many-Games-So-Little-Time]. I'm still stumbling through The Wasteland and Nathan Drake is staring at me again through the Game bag.
If I do buy FFXIII how many other games are going to pile up on the shelf. I've still got N64, PS2 and Gamecube games which are waiting to be played.

At least someone is trying to combat this issue.
I don't like going round my cousin house when he has a new game that we both wanna play and having to sit around for 2 hours waiting for it to install. Not that he like Final Fantasy at all but it's a first step.
