Final Fantasy XIII Versus might be heading to PS3 and PS4 exclusively

If this is true, will it help push systems? Only time will tell. Or is the Final Fantasy XIII series a bit long in the tooth?

I can't get into XIII. The battle system kills it for me. Somewhere around 2 or 3 hrs in, I'll probably finish it at some point. Who knows maybe I'll grow to love it.

the battle system is really boring early on...they add more to it over a very long time, the last major gameplay change happened around 30 hours for me. the fundamentals don't change much (you still just press X until you win), but the strategy comes in with the paradigm shifts and how you setup your party. the bosses definitely need more skill, but the majority of the random mobs don't need much more than just the auto attack option.

i can definitely understand not liking it for that, but i'd say play at least 10 hours before you really decide...it just starts so slow gameplay wise, but it does get better.

Considering the hype and rumour that surrounds this game I'm sure fans are happy to know this game will eventually be released. I expected Versus XIII to be a next gen title when the cancellation rumours began.

I don't think this will help sell any more PS4's than the confirmed launch titles will. But looking at the launch lineup among other features for the PS4 it seems Sony will be catering to gamers, whereas Microsoft will be catering to fans of various media.

Wasn't this announced before the PS3 even released?  Crazy how it has still not materialized.

To address Link's original question, will this push system sales? I do not think it will.  

I don't think that any one release is enough to significantly bump system sales anymore.

at least not for sony. they don't really have any big "system seller" series. sure there are big series, but they don't seem to get the mainstream hype that nintendo and microsoft have with their titles.

I gave up on FF13 after about 25 hours, and I really tried hard to like the game. The characters are mostly stupid, some of the plots go on forever, the main plot is contrived/weird and there's no exploration whatsoever. Also, the random battles always take forever, because you always need to heal your team.

Try The Last Story or Lost Odessey.

XIII & XIII-2 are garbage.
