I don't mind the changes, as I already have a 360.

I like having a few small or medium sized side quests in the middle and sorta beginning of the main storyline. It keeps games varied and not always on the plot and gives some nice relief from the somtimes tense Story.

However, if the Beginning and Middle storyline gets to saturated with sidequests, then it can detract from the story, which is bad.

Of course, at the end game, you can put as many side quests as you want.

Did the previous FF games require Blu-Ray discs to allow us access to every location without disk switching and, optional language choices that really don't inflict a great amount of deal toward what the game truly is?

I think people are becoming gamer greedy.

Huh? The PS1 FFs had A LOT of things that could only be done on one disc. The things that COULD be done on multiple discs were included in each disc, meaning the same data is being used 3-4 times.

I havnt heard anyone whine as your post so kindly suggests. In fact everyone seemed a bit defensive and quick to write this without anyone actually really moaning.

Im looking forward to the game now that the release date has been announced in JP. Hopefully a spring release in the west is set.

But actual thoughts of boycotting the game? I mean honestly...

No one is actually boycotting it yet, I only suggested that it was a possibility cause we all know how bitter fanboys can be about this stuff. I know people who won't play the PS FFs cause of moving from Nintendo and I know PS fanboys who won't play any FF on a non-Sony system. Its ridiculous.

No one is boycotting anything, and if they did, I think most here would agree that would be stupid. Just goes to show that you were a little too quick off the mark.

PS3 is a bit really, there's more in the online store I want than actual games. I got a PS1 at launch and a PS2 a few months after, I played more PS1 games than I didn't and I played a huge number of PS2 games. Between 1995 and 2006 I played more PS stuff than anything else by a wide margin. I don't see why Squenix should for one minute have stuck to the PS3 when Sony couldn't even convince me to buy one over a 360. And whilst PS3 sales are improving now, back when Squenix had to actually make this decision the view was a bit different.

And whilst FFX was a bit extreme about it, it's not as if other FFs have been different in pacing. You have to go through 90% of the game before the majority of the sidequests actually open up.

Hillary Clinton is a beautiful woman.

Seriously though, PS3 outsold the 360 worldwide its first year (2007) and continued to do so until the 360 dropped to $199, yet continues to outsell them on a month-for-month time series since launch, and that time series is just coming up now to the 3 year mark when the 360 dropped to $199, at a time when analysts are predicting shortages for the PS3 slim.

While I agree with you that Sony did not convince me either to buy a ps3 in the first year, our unawareness does not change the fact that Uncharted, Heavenly Sword, Motorstorm, Ratchet & Clank Future, Warhawk, and Resistance: Fall of Man was actually an amazing Year One Lineup.
