The latest game in the seminal RPG series will be made for PS3 first, and ported to 360 later. This will likely delay the release of the game in the U.S. even more, as FFXIII will be coming to PS3 and 360 simultaneously in the West.

 

At Square Enix’s DK Sigma 3713 event in Japan, GameSpot is reporting that the company showed off a video that detailed Final Fantasy XIII’s development. In that video, director Motomu Toriyama stated flatly that the development had not yet even begun on the Xbox 360 version of the game.

 

"We haven’t changed the direction of the development. We’re making the PS3 version first, and then porting to the 360 later," said Motomu. "I’m telling them to not think about the Xbox 360 right now. We can think about it after the development kits arrive."

 

Final Fantasy XIII will release on the PS3 and Xbox 360 simultaneously in the U.S. and Europe and will be exclusive to the PS3 in Japan. A demo of the RPG will be made available on the Blu-ray version of Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children.
