As Japanese PS3 owners eagerly await the upcoming demo for Final Fantasy XIII, producer for the game Yoshinori Kitase has said today that the full version of the game will use 100% of the PS3’s power.
As reported from Kotaku, the producer was speaking to magazine Dengeki and stated: “Doesn’t the demo use about 50 percent of its power? Of course, I think the retail version will make use of nearly 100 percent.”
If you didn’t realise by now, the demo for the game was already completed sometime last year and as we told you yesterday and once again reiterated by Kitase, remaining time is to ‘finish up the tail end of the development.’
He also revealed that their won’t be any disc swap issues due to the use of Blu-Ray and the PS3’s hard drive, we wonder what Xbox 360 owners will think of that. We’ll let you make your own conclusions on that one.

Finally, a developer of a big time game that isn’t afraid to use more than one DVD. Sure it’s been done in the past with blue dragon but not on a game of this magnitude. It will take less time for a 360 user to swap a disc than it will for a PS3 user to wait for the install so they can continue playing the game.
you should have kept your mouth shut. It’s been confirmed. No install loser.
LOL. Until my 360 scratches disc #2 and I can’t go from disc #1 to disc #3. Then the game will be garabage or a trade in at gamestop. I think I will buy this one for my PS3. Thats were Final Fantasy belongs anyway. 360 will be a port ;-(
Actually final fantasy belongs on Nintendo it all started on the NES but i agree that it belongs on PS3 rather than Xbox 360
i wonder how 360 is gana work this out seems like all the 360 owners will be abondining ship sooner than later
salik=PS3 fanboy it appears
What world do you live in that you would make a comment like that with zero to back it up wit reason?
The PS3 still offers us hardly any quality games as the 360 continues to just pump out one after another. Why would any 360 owner consider dropping their system and waste their money on a PS3 when they could get like 7 great 360 game for less money?
u actually belive that the 360 will continue to pump out more quality the 360 ghraphics have been reached with gow2 ps3 power has not yet been tamed maybe with final fantasies but the ps3 has a cell broadband engine with 1ppe and 7spe’s 360 has non of them making it obsolete it uses dvd’s making it obsolete microsoft have lost its just a matter of time wait untill a price cut at christmas evreyone will have a ps3 just u wait my fried
…nice grammar, 360 owners will not jump ship simply because according to your mysterious sources the limits of the 360. People said that about the PS2 then Yakuza 2 was released. Anyway do you not think the fact that microsoft secured square enix to develop for the 360 after 12 years of exclusive development suggests quite the opposite. Final fantasy XIII may indeed look better on the PS3, however that does not meen 360 owners will jump ship. The 360 will continue to get exclusives, after all Microsoft is a far larger company.
Game companies will continue to optimize and we will see better looking games than Gears Of War 2 on the Xbox 360. Heck Gears Of War 2 is nothing to scoff at. No one else has yet put in a development cycle as insane as Guerrilla has so it’s understandable why we haven’t seen games at Killzones level yet. Heck Gears Of War 2 has the second best graphics on a console, understandable as it didn’t have the insane development cycle Killzone 2 had. Game companies don’t want to keep gamers waiting that long when they know a couple extra games over the next 10 years could bring in millions more than taking an extra year to develop a game and pumping out a couple less games. It just all comes down to money.
In most graphical areas the 360 is equally as powerful or more. In one area the PS3 is 1/4 more powerful.
As far as triangles per second the PS3 is anywhere between 250 million and 400 million. 360 is minimum 500 Million per second.
Games like NHL 09 and GTA IV look a lot better on 360 and play better.
I love PS got PS2 the day it came out. But this whole 360 isn’t as powerful as PS3 is garbage I bet FFXIII looks better on 360 and at the very least just as good.
Wow Jordan you are such an idiot.. You don’t know shit.. What’s your source? Yourself? ahaha
I agree with Jordan here. The Xbox 360 and PS3 have their own positives and negatives. The 360 does have the better graphic card and the PS3 spanks the 360 in processing power. The 360 is capable of better graphics but the PS3 should be far more capable at producing some insane particle effects. In the end it is about the developers using these advantages to the benefit of the game and if done right both systems are extremely capable of delivering an incredible expeirience.
I am not looking to start a fan boy battle here. Frankly I am getting sick and tired of it. Seems like every time I put up a reasonable post some PS3 fan boy is all over me.
If final fantasy XIII using 100% power of PS3, is that mean
final fantasy XIII just using 70% power of xbox360. you know why ? because xbox360 is the “Super Powerfull Gaming Console” in the world, even more powerfull than 3 X PS3.
Okay,I have actually read a whole lot of silly comment from ps3 fanboys(i’m a pc fanboy).You know,i’m starting to think that it isn’t that the 360 can’t out same or better graphics than the ps3 ,it just that the game developers for the xbox are actually in a hurry to publish their games on the market.they think more of gameplay than graphics.Their game are in development for like two to three years while the ps3’s is more.let’s say,before killzone can sell so much,gears 1 and 2 have sold a whole lot.And about epics claim of the 360’s power reaching it’s limits,it just a marketing strategy.they actually wanted to tell you that the game graphics was the best any console could come out with so that you would go for the 360,but when killzone came out and beat gears on graphics(i think gameplay-wise,both are good)they destroyed epic’s and 360 reputation by saying they just warming up.I can say with all certainty that if killzone was to developed for 360,it would look,if not as good,better than the ps3’s(don’t believe whatever these two companies say,games on each consoles could be played on the other,it just marketing strategy).It has been proven that the graphic card in the 360 is superior to the one in ps3,the processors in the ps3 are not for graphics but for advanced game physics and ai.you guys actually know this but accept the lies sony tell you because it favours your favourite console.So stop saying”graphically ps3 is better”but rather,say,exclusive games on the ps3 have better graphics(killzone is not graphically superior by far to gears of war 2,it just a fanboy’s childish way of telling you”my console is better than yours”)
KZ2 does look better then Gays of War 2. the 1st Uncharted looks better then Gays of War 2. the 360 is done….2009 and early 2010 are the years Sony wins this thing.
Man!! you like to write i can tell that i but you have a great point ther
Okay before i begin i will say i am a ps3 fanboy i’m very aware of my fanboyism and don’t care i will say there are some 360 exclusives i enjoy like halo 3, gears 1 and 2, fable 2, Star ocean 4, and mass effect. It pisses me off when people say the ps3 offers hardly any good games when infact i find there to be better ps3 exclusives than 360. There’s Metal Gear Solid 4, Killzone 2, Resistance 2, Little Big Planet, Valkrie Chronicles, Ratchet and clank future, Naruto ultimate ninja storm, Heavenly sword, and Uncharted. Thats plenty of fun games. ps3 has more future potential as well all 360 has for 2009 is expansions just about halo 3 odst expansion, fallout 3 expansion, gta4 expansion, the only true exclusives they have this year are halo wars, ninja blade, and alan wake.I mean there are more but most of them we’ll be average if that. Meanwhile ps3 here has InFamous, Heavy Rain, Uncharted 2, Mag, White Knight Chronicles, God of war 3, New team ico game, and even though it’s not a true exclusive Ninja gaiden sigma 2 looks to be quite nice. Then later on there will be Resistance 3, Gran Turismo 5, New Twisted Metal, Final Fantasy versus 13, Yakuza 3, and even though it’s not been announced i can almost garuntee a new kingdom hearts game for ps3. Ps3 will surpass the 360 in sales by September 2010 if not sooner because with all these great exclusives as well as a ps3 price cut on the way it seems obvious witch way thing’s are going to turn out. Now as to this i believe Final Fantasy 13 will be superior on the ps3 as the game was built around the unit’s capabilities it will prolly look better and run smoother on ps3. I understand they claim that they are going to try to maximise the 360 version to but they won’t end up taking all the time to do it it will prolly just end up generic because they have spent to many years working on the game and are ready to release it world wide and make money off it so the 360 version will end up being a rushed port to get it out faster and make money while the ps3 version has been carefully built to perfection and maximised the capabilities of the ps3 console.
