I hope this will bring some needed light back to this series as many dont like the games after FFIX.

That is a completely biased opinion as are the majority of replies in this thread. Square didn't anticipate the hype that followed Final Fantasy X, but because it was their debut into the next generation the media and fellow fans alike collided and created more buzz than Square had ever anticipated. Square did create hype, but that's what these companies do to help sell the game, but not near the hype that followed.
I personally thought that Final Fantasy X was an excellent title, and I felt a certain sense of nostalgia whilst playing it. Something I hadn't felt since the days when Final Fantasy V and VI reigned supreme.
As for the possibility of the game going multi-platform is unlikely, but I'm not saying that it won't happen. If some of you would pay attention every Final Fantasy XIII and Versus XIII trailer ends with "for Playstation 3" which furthers the claim of exclusivity to the Playstation 3. Also Square stated that at the moment bringing a Final Fantasy to the 360 is a "blank page". So all dicussions, debates, or predictions about Final Fantasy XIII or Versus XIII going multi-platform are henceforth null and void.
The price is a different discussion altogether. I'm assuming that the cost of manufacturing each game should average about the same as all Playstation 3 games before Final Fantasy XIII and Versus XIII and with the possibility of price cuts of the console itself before it's launch I assume it'll average the standard $59.99 price tag.
