Final Fantasy XIII Xbox 360 Version Inferior to PS3 Version? [Rumor]
February 2nd, 2010
As we previously mentioned, a Final Fantasy XIII touring bus patrolled around some areas of the United States, allowing people to test both the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of the upcoming Square Enix RPG. An article at Sankaku Complex says that the publicity stunt generated both good and bad publicity, as some people have allegedly commented that the Xbox 360 version is graphically inferior to the one on the PS3.
A “real person” was quoted as saying: “I went to the Sunnyvale one today and got to play the 360 version. I am so very disappointed to see the difference in textures and detail of the 360 version vs. the PS3. =( I know it’s DVD vs. BD, but I didn’t think it would be that noticeable. My boyfriend told me it’s fine if I wanna stick with the 360 version, but he’s going for the PS3 one now”, while a “game journalist” (apparently game journalists are not real people) supposedly said, “As expected, the 360 version was noticeably less crisp than its PS3 counterpart, but it still ran nicely.” One of my Square Enix outsiders gave me this screenshot to show the disparity between the two versions:
My god! Look how much more blurry it is on the Xbox 360 version! FUUUUUUUU – nah I just drew a line in the middle of one whole screenshot. I don’t even know which version it’s from. Got you for a second didn’t I? Anyway, from what the non-real person games journalist said, the differences – if there are indeed any – are subtle.
I hope the Xbox 360 version isn’t as gimped as the PS3 Bayonetta; I’m glad the patch allowed me to install game data on my PS3 to lessen the loading times, but I’d be lying if I said that the screen tearing and pop-ups weren’t annoying or distracting.

you didnt get me they it looked to perfect
Damn you and your keen sense of sight!
It will be gimp buy I doubt aa bas as Bayonetta was. Square actually took the time to optimize the engine. Unlike Platinum and Sega.
I really hope so. I don’t have high expectations for FF XIII but I still want to play it. Let’s hope that both versions turn out okay. Bayonetta’s still fun to play, but with the horrible camera and the graphics issues, I feel like I should have waited until the game was being sold in second hand shops.
hmm
the 360 versions lighting loks better to me i will have to rent both out when they release.
r u serious can u not see the blair on tyhe 360 version and the over bright lighting
Man I got it! I could see a huge different now. At first I thought that there were only the brightness different but actually it’s all about details quality and contrast. This is how it works, it’s just like Xbox runs with 720p while PS3 runs with 1080p + bluray.
It’s from one SCREENSHOT.
thats whats wrong with gaming today we are consumed by graphic detail 7 looked like crap but the game play the game play was so dang awesome the story was dark edgey I am not a graphic person they both look okay i just want to play it
im still sure the right one is prettier….
I’m not a graphic person either but you would think they would have resolved it by cutting it up into 4 discs. 4 isn’t a magic number use 6 if you really got to (obviously you need to that)
What bothers me is that there are white fuzz and very noticable visual nastiness that pops up during cutscenes and all on the 360 version.
If only the ps3 had followed the path of the great ps2 and released a couple of great rpg’s a month it seems I would be with sony. It sucks that they make a uber console and then forget oh yeah….games!
Until they make games I will stick with my uglier, dying helicopter sounding vhs player looking console I have now- because it has games!
