Actually Lost Odyssey was on 4 discs too :o | |
I don't care how many discs it comes on. I just don't want to see another Lost Odyssey packaging debaukle. Build a case to hold the discs. Don't let one disc run free in the case. | |
I like it when games came on multiple disks. It makes it seem like it was worth the purchase | |
Well, surprise, surprise, surprise. | |
I just hope this game will be longer than Lost Odyssey. Disc 2 and 3 were extremely short. I've played demos longer than I played those discs. Also:
I think you meant "what" there instead of "wait"? Sorry, not trying to be a grammar nazi or anything, it just looked strange when I read it. | |
I don't care if it is seven disks. Xbox 360 still gets Final Fantasy 13. Plus the more disks means more gameplay. | |
Man, nostalgia moment. I was dissapointed when FF12 was on only one disc. I miss the old multi disk thing with FF. | |
Lost Odyssey was 4 disks and, bar some poor packaging choices, was fine. I don't understand why people make such a big deal regarding disk numbers... | |
I actually just finished the game since i never got around to that, and yeah after 2 and 3 you were like "Allready? what?" | |
Sweet more disks the better, I love games with more than one disc | |
I'm so sick of sony make blu disc's. in fact tagging an extra £100 on the price tag for a blu ray player was a shite idea! Bluray DVD's and DVD's in HD have NO noticable difference i have 3 blu ray movies, on a 30 inch hd tv, there is NO difference between them and an HD movie. I guess if i get this game i'll get it on PS3, 3 discs is just too much. | |
I don't really care about the discs. I've recently discovered I am legitimately excited for this game. As far as I know the amount of discs has never affected the prices of the games I buy. I got Lost Odyssey for the same price as I would have gotten a one-disc game upon release. I have no problem with disc-changes. "Oh no, I have to walk 3 feet to change the disc. Its going to take almost a minute. Whatever will I do?" | |
Well not for you, you don't have 1080p. Thats the only time you see the amazing quality of blue ray. | |
Old school disc changing rules all! | |
Is the Japanese audio track on the 360 version, or did they cut that for space? | |
It should only be three, or else they might have to put one disk in a sleeve... Looking at you Lost Odyssey | |
While I personally don't mind the idea of getting 3 Discs for one game, I just have to ask this question out loud. HOW MUCH HARD DRIVE SPACE IS THIS GAME GOING TO TAKE UP??? | |
This isn't a surprise. Multiple discs just make it feel like we haven't progressed at all in a way. FFVII came on 3 discs. And we're 13 years beyond that techwise. Aside from that psychological impression, there's really nothing inherently terrible about having to change discs. | |
Yep. I now officially hate the 360 version. I HATE MULTIPLE DISKS. | |
My inner fanboy feels much better, 360 players get to share Final Fantasy with Playstation owners but their 360 has to go back to the old days of FF VIII disc switching. Although, it also kinda makes me wanna get the 360 version, those guys are getting more discs than I am, that's not fair! :-D | |
Know how I know articles like this are just flame bait to incite squabbling amongst Xbox enthusiasts and Blu ray elitists? When you make incorrect, unnecessary statements such as this:
Um. I can certainly remember when. Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon for starters. Hell, I've got a stack of World of Warcraft disks and expansion disks laying around. I think too much noise is being made over multi-disks. I, quite honestly, have no problem whatsoever reaching up and swapping out disks. The people who have issue with this are either strictly sony Fan-boys, lazy, or both. Games are growing larger in size and scope with much greater cinematics and more powerful engines. Eventually, there will come a point when even Blu-ray is too small a medium to hold a truly ambitious game. I will be much interested in hearing the cries and complaints about "multiple disks!" then... | |
As long as I don't have to go through the constant switching between all the disks back and forth like in the end game of Star Ocean: TLH, I don't mind the multiple discs. Or at the very least, fix it this time so that discs can read each other off the hard drive. | |
Huh? A blu-ray movie is a HD movie, you've confused me and DVDs don't come in HD..... I'm so confused. Anyways, yes, there is a difference, I found the sound quality to be one of the easiest differences to spot but certain blu-rays can also take your breath away with the visuals. Planet Earth, I'm looking at you. | |
What? More disks just means more disks. It's the same amount of gameplay on both consoles, one you just need to get off your ass more often. | |
I don't care I'm not getting it. That's all. | |
I'm pretty sure DVD's can come in HD actually. | |
Oh no, more disks! When did that become a bad thing, anyway? I'd rather have 3 disks with instant play rather than installing it for an hour. | |
I think you misinterperated this persons statement. They weren't saying the 360 would have more gameplay, simply that the great number of disks is likely to be justified do to massive amounts of game content. | |
But you were supposed to have at least one of those discs in the console at all time, duh. [/kidding] OT: Final Fantasy doesn't interest me that much so go Square Enix for giving the same experience to 360's as PS3's. | |
There was such a format know as HD DVD but blu-ray killed it. Plus the difference only really takes noticeable effect when in high action sequences where there are exsplosions and such. Plus blu-ray disks store a lot more information, which is a plus in terms of making games like these I suppose. | |
I've got a copy of Borland C++ Builder around somewhere. I think it's something like 95 floppies. | |
Oh no, I'll have to get off my ass and change the disc every once in a while! THE HORROR OF IT ALL! It's like people don't even REMEMBER Oregon Trail. I mean, yeesh. Multi-disking is still around, and it still works. | |
Squaresoft once again proving themselves incapable of sticking to format limits. | |
It had better fill up 3 discs. I mean, if you are going to muck about with putting a game on multiple discs, don't do it as a gimmick. | |

Final Fantasy XIII on 360 May Come on Three Discs
We all know that Final Fantasy XIII on the Xbox 360 won't come on one elegant "blu" disc, but just how much space can we expect this game to take on our shelves? Square's hoping it won't be more than three DVDs' worth.
Move over that A-Team Season Four from the shelf on your entertainment center, the Xbox 360 version of Final Fantasy XIII's not going to be a slim one. Everybody assumed that the game would come in a, let's say, more extensive form than the PS3 version, which fits onto a svelte but spacious Blu-Ray disc, but if you were hoping Square would be able to keep the game from stretching across more than a couple discs, dream on.
"This is not the final count as we're still working on it, but we're aiming for about three discs for the Xbox 360 version," Square's Yoshinori Kitase told VG247. When was the last time a game came on more than two discs? Final Fantasy IX? And that's just wait Square's "aiming" for - it could be more than that if they can't pull off their data compression magic. Imagine a four-disc package. It'd be big enough to put an Atlus release to shame.
Bigger doesn't necessarily mean better (or worse), however. "The 360 version and the PS3 version should be pretty much equal, both in terms of content and the visuals as well," Kitase said. "Since the hardware is different, there might be some subtle differences if you compare screenshots side by side, but the team's being very careful about the compression of the data and the visuals, so that it's exactly the same on both."
