Final Fantasy 13 WILL come out for the playstation 3. According to the E3 press conference, Final Fantasy 13 will be exclusive to playstation 3 only in Japan. In North America and Europe it will be available for both playstation 3 and xbox 360. Expect the game to be released first in Japan. Shortly after it will be simultaneously released on both playstation 3 and xbox 360.
Originally Final Fantasy 13 was going to be exclusive to the playstation 3. It was only a few days ago that Square-Enix announced it would ALSO be available on the xbox 360 in North America and Europe.
Another game Square-Enix has in development is Final Fantasy Versus 13. Which is a completely different game, but takes place in the same world/universe. For now it will be a playstation 3 exclusive, though that could change.
Expect to be able to get your hands on Final Fantasy 13 holiday 2009 or sometime in 2010.
At the moment Final Fantasy 13 will only be available for PS3 in japan and in Europe and North America it will receive a simultaneous xbox 360 and PS3 release. Final Fantasy Versus 13 still remains as a PS3 exclusive .
As for development time , square enix is looking for voice actors for the Japanese version and then port it to the xbox 360 and then localize the game. So maybe another 1.5 years – 2 .
FF13 is a PS3 exclusive in japan but in America and Europe it will be available on the PS3 and the Xbox 360. It will release in Japan much earlier than over here because they are now developing for the Xbox 360. It may be released earlier on PS3 than on the Xbox 360 in America and Europe because of how much of the game is completed.
FFXIII is exclusive to the ps3 in Japan only, while America and Europe are getting the ps3 and xbox360 release. Meaning that the US ps3 owners won’t get a “tone” down game and apparently both versions will be similar in content.
