Any chance of XIII to be on PS2?

Is there any chance of XIII on PS2? Cause I really don't want to go buy one. If I have to (because I'm dying to play it), I will, but I seriously hope it isn't

FFXII is on the PS2, FFXIII is PS3 only

Although there were rumours it was going to be on the 360, but one of the SE guys said that plans to put a FF game on the 360 were at "a blank page"

Unfortunately, due to the graphical quality of FFXIII, I don't think it could ever be, even if SE tried. I'd also heard rumours about the 360 release, but I hope not. This is the sort of game that will push PS3 sales, especially with it coming out in Japan around the time of Christmas or something. (That was what I heard last, though as usual, its a rumour)

For us guys, this probably means the PS3 will be slightly reduced in price by then, or at least part of a good package with it. Unfortunately, the other rumour is that both of the FFXIII's on the PS3 will be coming out only a few days apart (for the Christmas one

) which means more spending :(

Lucky me, I already have my PS3

Hahahahahaha. No.

Specs are too high, plus this is supposed to be a game that will make loads of people buy PS3s. Plus, the PS2's life cycle will be at a total end by the time FFXIII comes out. ((Orly. I also have a PS3. =D))
So, no chance.

I think the chance is highly unlikely, due to the fact that the development team has asked about developing it with PS3 exclusivity in mind.

Also, as earlier stated, it would probably be impossible to put it on the PS2.

The thought it being on PS2 never even crossed my mind and I highly doubt it wilol be. Plus not heard any rumours of the sort, looks like we will all have to fork out for a PS3....well, those of us that don't already have one

Altho I refuse to get one until I know it's any good anyway

If they put it on ps2 its would lower the quality of the ps3 version because of having to compensate for how shit hot the ps3 is compared to ps2

!! Dam i'm not looking forward to losing all that money buying a console for like 3 games

Square is all about moving forward, and to put this game on the PS2 would be a huge step backwards. They know this game will boost the PS3 sales and make them lots of money in the proccess. So, for those reasons, it will be on the PS3.

^Me too cube, I'm already broke as it is, having forked out alot of money for a psp and crisis core. I'm going to be dirt poor once I finally get a PS3 and these games..

Nope, no chance of it being made into PS2 compatable... They would want it to be made into a PS3 game only because for one; the sales would go down with how much PS2 games usually cost compared to how much PS3 games cost. For two, people like the PS3 graphics better and no one would buy something with lower graphics, and less features. Thirdly, most people have PS3s now because of how long it has been out and how much better it is than the PS2, so they would buy the better one. And lastly, they would not make it a PS2 game because it would cost too much money and time to take out all of the special features that only go with the PS3, and replace it with something that would make sense and yet be able to be run on a PS2....

And by the way, I have a PS3 toooo....

LOL, it even shows in the trailer "For the Playstation 3"

But I know what you mean. I kind of hoped that the PS2 was my last main console, but I'm already trying to save up for the PS3
