Over the course of the month of October, I’ve experienced how Final Fantasy XIV regressed thanks to the guy that pulled out his share of stocks in Square Enix’s value vault – the disgruntled player (identity remains withheld) obviously didn’t enjoy his time in Eorzea and severed his ties with Final Fantasy XIV definitely. Not a good start for the MMO, hope the developers behind the Eorzea Project gets serious in fixing the so-called glitches and technical hiccups found throughout the game.
Things could get worse from here as another Square Enix title gets another multi-platform issue: Final Fantasy Versus XIII has a long way to go before being declared as a playable title for the PS3. Still, no official release date had been issued by SE to the public and now, we’re getting juicy rumors about the game embracing the possibility of a(n) Xbox 360 development.
Tetsuya Nomura really wanted the game to remain as a PS3 exclusive and while he’s really into the idea, Yoichi Wada is perusing a possibility of a multi-platform release.
Back to square one? Perhaps.
What I think is this: Since the development of Final Fantasy Versus XIII has already taken shape and clarity for the PS3, this so-called “multi-platform” brew-ha-ha by Wada would cause a massive delay to other platforms hoping to receive the kind of treatment that even the term exclusive could not even par up with.
In an article released by Kotaku, development for the Xbox 360 may have already started. So much for the rumors, eh?
SE is currently on the lookout for a Battle Planner for the game who has extensive knowledge in level and battle design. The job description states that this person or group of game developers must have experience in “developing PS3 or Xbox 360 package titles.”
