Wtf? For serious? That's got to suck for PS3 people, but considering SE's position, it's not surprising.

Just make a new Chrono game goddamnit. Imo.

Why would it suck for PS3 people? They've known that they're going to be getting the game for years now. I wish for the day when console exclusive titles no longer exist.

What? You honestly can't deny the fact that whenever a title loses exclusivity, a million fanboy's hearts are broken. It's there, and it does happen.

Well I guess who cares about a bunch of nerds crying over a video game?

Pretty much. This was probably the worst exclusivity loss in the history of gaming, though. Unless you can think of a bigger one.

It's comparable to Banjo-Kazooie going to Xbox. Or when Final Fantasy went to Playstation.

That last example might actually be bigger than this one now.

Not many people cared about Banjo Kazooie. And there are a LOT of people who started playing games with FF7 on the PSX, even if there were a lot of SNES players. There has been a great legacy amassed on playstation consoles since FF7. That's my reasoning.

I hear the clicking of a million mice all over the USA of people who are putting their PS3s up on eBay with Metal Gear Solid 4.

Wow ,this is very big. This has been a hot topic since the psx days that square would keep any of it's rpg games with Sony and no other company.

Slowly Square started making games for Nintendo again on the DS and gamecube. FFXIII not being exclusive to the ps3, i honestly didn't see that happening

Well I guess PS3 still has FFXIII Versus exclusive. An announcement like this makes me think about what Sony has in store for its conference tomorrow, because surely they've been preparing for months to counter this major exclusivity loss. Something like Final Fantasy VII Remake PS3 exclusive, that would even the playing field.

Here's the trailer they showed at the conference for anyone who missed it. http://www.gametrailers.com/player/36222.html

I think FFVII's switch from presumed N64 exclusive to a PS1 exclusive was bigger...
Though it wasn't so much of a loss of exclusivity as it was a complete loss o.O
And it was never really confirmed for N64 in the first place...

Even so, this is one less reason (out of about 2) to consider purchasing a PS3 when the price drops...
Now if only MGS4 would make a 360 clone of itself :(

Anyone else still peeved that there were only about 3 seconds in that trailer that WEREN'T pre-rendered?

Come on. We're all waiting for the Crystal Tools demonstration.

I don't see it as a big deal, and I have a PS3, and I love the Final Fantasy Series.

It's not me losing money, nor is it any other Playstation-lover losing money. I don't see why anyone would be torn up about losing exclusivity. If anything, it's better, because it makes it widely available.

If you care enough about a game/games enough to actually get torn up when a game you like goes on another system, while still staying on whichever one you own, you need to hang out outside more often.

The only way this would suck for PS3 people, is if the game was only on the 360, instead of both.

Realistically, I say this sucks for people only with a Wii.

If it was something like Mario being in a PS game, that would make fanboys cry. But I have a hard time feeling like a third party developer making a game for another system is that big of a deal, as long as the original system is still getting it.

And I'm with Darkmaster, I hate console exclusives. I think it's pretty ridiculous we have three different kinds of video game players (Wii is sort of an exception on this point). You only need one DVD player.

I know that's an argument that's been used for years, but it isn't any less true.

For me, this is good news though, as I intended to get a 360 but never intended to get a PS3.

Really hoping we actually see a gameplay demonstration at either Sony's conference or SquareEnix's conference tomorrow. As cool as they are, these recycled pre-rendered trailers are getting pretty old now.

While it's silly for anybody to get in a tizzy simply because "Oh my console lost an exclusive game (that I will still be getting anyways)!", I could see there being exceptions to this...

Let's say you were teetering on the edge between a 360 and PS3, and sided with PS3 because of two big names: MGS and FF...
And now you know that you would have been able to get one of those on the 360...
"I could be playing *whatever caused them to consider a 360* right now and still have been able to play FFXIII when it comes out!".

This has been "Hypothetically..." with me, DeathsHand...

How many discs do you think it'll be on?

Judging by Blue Dragon, 13.

Which would be hilarious and ironic.

Probably 3-4, but does it really matter? I didn't mind changing the disc every 10-15 hours during FFVII through FFIX.

I wouldve said losing Banjo to Xbox was a pretty big loss, but now after seeing the game in action, it looks terrible.

I did not have high hopes for Banjo at all when I saw the trailer.

Or high hopes for Rare at all for that matter.

Are you guys serious? Banjo looks fucking amazing. Rare is better than ever right now with Banjo and moreso Viva Pinata 2.

People who own Ps3's lost nothing, Sony just lost what would have been a selling point for their system. (I actually had just mentioned it less than a week ago in BaB's RPG thread) I think this is a very big announcement against Sony... though honestly I don't think its even as bad as losing GTA3 when you look at last gen's sales (and this gen's).

I was honestly expecting them to back down on the MGS4 exclusiveness there too.. But I guess not, probably sold enough to make up for the production costs, and made it a historic game.

Sony's show is probably going to have to bring back something retro that's exclusive to try to top this.. Maybe a God of War 3, or Final Fantasy 7 remake. I think the only big title that's outright expected is Gran Turismo.

Yes, I suppose this is huge industry news, but that trailer made me want to vomit. I'm so sick of how derivitive and lazy the creative end of Square-Enix has become. Technically, they produce wonders, but what they are producing is simply nicer looking versions of worlds that they created YEARS ago.

Its the same technicolor landscapes, the same spikey haired effeminate heroes juxtaposed with a mysterious anti-hero (who is usually the most polite version of an a$%hole ever envisoned), usually vying over the same boring damsel, as they try and save "Gaia" by finding the last candy coated unicorn or discovering true panda love, or some s**t.

..

Or maybe I'm just cynical :D

That trailer was nice, but is that Final Fantasy? Is that even a game??

In retrospect, when I really started to think about it, this isn't really that shocking.

Final Fantasy was on Nintendo systems before the Playstations. Final Fantasy 7, 8, and 11 were also released on the PC, so the only Final Fantasy's that were really exclusive to the PS was 9, 10, and 12. That's only about a fourth of the main series.

Well they were released on pc after the initial release on the PSX. Here, the x360 version will be launched the same day as ps3 version. So there is a bit of difference, whether it's shocking or not......only you can know this...my son.
