Square Enix Confirms FFXIII SERIES (!) Is Not Exclusive for PS3 *Read post #12

DVD is really a limiting factor and that's why FFXIII wouldn't go multi-platforms.
It would hammer the development for next-gen consoles.

What about in-game commentary where you hear repetition after an hour or two? Can next-gen consoles change this?

Wilson: We ran out of space on the disc with current gen. Last year's FIFA had 26 leagues, 15 thousand players, kits, players, stadiums, audio and music, so you just run out of space. The next-gen discs have got more space so in the short term we will have much more commentary on our games.

"Toriyama and Versus producer Shinji Hashimoto defended the decision to release FFXIII on the PS3. According to Hashimoto, the development staff determined that one DVD would not be enough for the type of visual expression they were attempting to make. Toriyama noted that, regarding visual expression, the PS3's shader abilities are a big factor".

Blue Dragon: 3 DVDs
MGS: Kojima: 25 GB is too small.
UT3: Mark Rein: We don't know how to put 20GB on a DVD.

As the previous poster mentioned, multiple discs's were used in the past, are used in the present and will be used in the future.

Eurogamer have an interview, very limited, about FFVXIII (versus). Basically it sounds like it could be very different. It's set in this world, in this time - Final Fantasy without Chocobos and white/dark magic? Is that even FF??

Basically it sounds like it could be very different. It's set in this world, in this time.

I wonder whether that was meant to be taken literally, or that the world in FF versus 13 is similar to our own.

If it's not exactly this world, it'll only be in the details I think. The 'issues' will be the same even if the names and details are changed, I think. I guess the idea is to get closer to what people know, and hope to involve them more that way. It's a lot easier to keep your emotional distance when you know you're dealing with an impossible fantasy situation.

It is not "set" in this world. Read the interview again.

This is from SQUARE ENIX's party. I see no other reason why these disney characters are in the Kingdom Hearts products
