It's not often you get to see new footage of Final Fantasy XIII. But, that's exactly what we have here. Moments after announcing an Xbox 360 version of Final Fantasy XIII, Square Enix has released a trailer that still touts its PS3 exclusivity. There's tons of new pre-rendered footage to be feast upon, and a little bit of real-time content ... and it all ends with "for PLAYSTATION 3 Only ... in Japan."

No point making it for all 100 Xbox 360 fans in Japan.

According to the comments on QJ, QJ got it wrong ;) They will be releasing the Japanese version, but at a different time.

It said for PS3 only in Japan.

When they announced it for XBOX 360 they said that it will be for 360 in US and Europe, they didn't say japan.

As in Japan won't be getting a 360 version (not like they care).

Pretty much anyone who wanted it in Japan already owns a PS3.

Xbox 360's a failure in Japan (although its sold a little more than Xbox 1 did).
They know that not many people would buy it over there anyway, so it being exclusive to PS3 in Japan would actually just give it the same numbers but also anger Japanese 360 owners... maybe, on purpose?

There's been Final Fantasy XI for the 360, thats the only one I can think of.

Only FFXI came out on the 360.

Hmm, how come I knew you'd say something like that
Really as stated(and as everyone knows) porting the game in Japan would be pointless, probably everyone that has a 360 has a PS3.

It is more like older, it's straight turned based(from what I recall) and has stuff you can do in battle like stopping time I think, it's got a lot of new things to it really.
