Final Fantasy XIII Trailer from Microsoft E3 2008 Conference

So as the last thing to grace the Microsoft Press Event, it seems that Iwata pulled a fast one on everyone, including the faithful PS3 fans out there, and dropped the bomb of the show so far, as Final Fantasy XIII will be available day and date at launch for the 360 and PS3. While it was cool, to see this dropped out of nowhere, and definitely not picked up by many, it does show that they had to have been working on this game for some time on the 360. How else could they release it day and date with the PS3 if they had not already been working on it. Anyway, the game looks great, and should be out early next year.

I don’t know if I’d say that they have been working on this for some time. I’m not a gambler, but I would lay money that Microsoft played a huge part in getting that IP on the Xbox360. I’d say that they offered them cold-hard cash, a premium development team for ‘porting’ it, and 24/7 on-site support. I can tell you first hand with that level of power it doesn’t take long for something to be ‘ported’. Shoot, I’ve taken software that took a team of 3-5 developers one year to develop, and re-written it from scratch in a couple of months.
