The clip runs about 2 and a half minutes with a combination of Japanese language cinematic cut-scene footage and some battle-action gameplay. We're not sure exactly what's supposed to be going on, but it does look pretty cool. See for yourself right here on AusGamers.
Although expected on PlayStation 3 in Japan later this year, Australian gamers will have to hold out until Q2 2010 for the English PS3/Xbox 360 release.

I would buy this just to have a crack at it, see if I can spend a few more hundred hours leveling up each character etc

Ahahaha so true. Anyway even though i'm not a huge fan of the FF series, I still consider it heresy that it's coming to the 360 at all. Also my 360 just got the ring of death a few days ago and i'm not going to replace it or get it fixed.

why?
Posted 07:14pm 29/1/09
Square have already said it's easier coding for the 360 than ps3.

I guess Final Fantasy's never been all about sword and board, but that trailer seems to indicate it's more gun-oriented than its past. Either that or the gun scenes just looked the prettiest to the guy directing the trailer.
Those machine-humanoid looking dudes remind me of the mechagnomes in WoW for some reason, though I'm assuming there's somewhere else I've seen that type of helmet displayed prominently. The Spirits Within movie?

the combat looks awsome. similar to ff12 where the combat takes place in the world instead of going to a different screen like previous games. it also looks like the bar fills up and then when you do a move it takes a bit of the bar away. so you can probably string a few moves together before you need to fill your bar again. i hope they dont include that system from ff12 where you just assign your teammates to do things when certain criteria is met. it made the game so easy.
not until well after the ps3 release. they arent going to start porting it to 360 until the game is on the shelves.
they all have different settings though quite a few of them have had medieval/fantasy settings. ff7 and ff8 were more of a science fictiony setting.

Pretty much it. I know there have been other FF games on other systems, and that they started on the Nes and Snes, but the ones i'm talking about are from #7 onward, which is arguably when the franchise got insanely popular, they have stuck with with the playstation for the main series. 11 doesn't count either because its an MMO. Having a game on anything else just seems... wierd, to me. In the end though it comes down to how well it runs on the consoles and what you prefer. If 1 console runs it better, and looks better than the other it wont matter which it is, i'll get that one. I'll always think of FF as a playstation game though.
While it's true that FF is shifting into the high tech world, that isn't something new. After all that setting has been around since #7 at least. The move isn't really a bad thing, provided they give some incetive for using good old swords and such, besides looking cool. A system like in advent children movie where you can deflect bullets with your sword if you know when to time your block/slash attacks (no quick time bulls***) would be rather awesome i'd think.

And the xbox was a crapload easier to code for than the ps2 was. That being said, they will definitely release it for the 360 in the states and europe purely because of the market share, it would be silly not to.

Now as for Final Fantasy Versus XIII who knows what will happen. Though at least the FF series has a record of not going fully modern with its usable weaponry so i'd be willing to bet guns will be kept to, at most, the bad guy side of things.
Side Note - Oh and for those who are even kinda interested and if you didn't already know, Square Enix are making an MMO using the Crystal Tools, which is the same engine being used in FF13 and FFvs13. I remember seeing a video floating around somewhere of it and it looks pretty damn impressive.
