Rumour: FF13 On PS3 To Be Lossless

[Darryl]

Apparently the rear box art from the Japanese version has been leaked and it says that the PS3 version of Final Fantasy XIII will have lossless audio, 1080p FMVs and it will also feature no HDD install.

Pretty good news, especially considering the Xbox 360 version will more than likely be compressed.

Rumour: FF13 On PS3 Has No Install, 1080p FMV, Lossless Audio

Good to know that the PS3 version is not getting the bad end of the stick. Good to see that it will not need a HDD install. I Just hope this is true.

If both versions are supposed to be the same this statement is invalid. The 360 version will most definetly be on more discs but the other aspects would remain the same, if anything the PS3 version will be hindered by slightly longer load times, that's all. But without proof there is no backup for either of our arguements

^^^ According to the back of the box, FFXIII in Japan has full HD FMVs, they may not do that for Xbox to save space... :/ I don't really like to speculate on rumours like this though, I'd rather just wait and see...

Yeah, who knows, i can't really comment either as i favour the 360 more and can't say anything that won't seem a bit like a fanboy rant.
Damn Rumours

I'm getting annoyed at the PS3 fanboys going all "lol, X360 version = buggy".

Unless you are a HD grahics/audio whore, this doesn't really mean much. Which is most people, since most don't own the setup needed to take advantage of this.

In all fairness though, nobody really likes fanboys, they blindly follow a console/brand without questioning the product/company themselves. There are bound to be people who claim their version is better but i'm gonna enjoy the game no matter what i play it on.
I'm actually tempted to get FFXIII on both consoles just to see if there is a real difference between the two or not.

You all should not forget thats the JP!!! version, not the US/EU version.
So we will see if they keep that for our versions too.
Cause in JP they dont have a 360 version of the game, so they dont have to change anything there
graphicly [if it would be needed for 360].

I said that in the news post. SE said they would be the same, but everyone knows the Xbox 360 can't deal with uncompressed things, there just isn't the space, even if it is multiple disc. Lost Odyssey was severely compressed and that was on 3-4 discs. In that game, the cutscenes were upscaled SD, nowhere near 720, let alone 1080.

to bad they didnt get a shot of the front of the box -_- or somewhere I missed that.

btw - buying japanese no matter what sooooo... yippeee for 1080p although I can only play 720p. yay for lossless... will it really be heard that distinctly through a 3.5mm jack?
