Final Fantasy 13 is a three disc game on Xbox 360

Oh heaven forbid you get off your fucking couch for 5 minutes to change a disc.... this is NOT a selling point for the PS3 folks.

I guess if that isn't a selling point, then having 3 disc is reason enough to never consider buying a 360.

Final Fantasy stopped being good after 7, so.... who cares?

:O 10 was the best one! Come on the sphere grid was a brilliant system!

Oh it was brilliant alright... brilliantly boring and tedious.

Actually, after the mess that was the disk swapping process in Star Ocean 4, it IS a selling point Piddy. Maybe not for you particularly, but it is. Granted on the PS1, Square did a good job of content separation.

I'd say the annoyance factor is about the same as having to wait 5 minutes the first time you put in many (but not all) PS3 games.

Yeah I can understand, I suppose if you have both systems it would be a selling point when deciding which system to get it on... but really, people try to find every angle they can, even the ridiculously stupid ones.

PS2 had plenty of disc-swapping... If you were new to consoles and you had to buy one in order to play this game, obviously this is advantage PS3, but if this is the sole factor in your decision that's just retarded.

Any idea on PS3 yet? It's so annoying having to change disk mid-game.

360 Dvd = 4.7 GB storage
Ps3 DVD = 25 gig storage.

If it's not single disk on the ps3 I'll be surprised.

Umm the 360 uses DL DVDs which hold 8 gigs...
I wont mind some disk swapping , if I was a fan of JRPGs that is

10hours play 10second disk change. big deal how?

Guess we should go back to cd's then. We could have twelve disc games, think of all the fun! I have the cd version of Quake 4 for the PC and it is simply annoying to have to switch disks four times to install the game. But at least I only have to do it once per install unlike the 360 which could have easily handled the multi disc issue by letting the games be installed in the same way PC games are. But of course that would have required having a hard drive in every console and probably something more than twenty gigabytes.

So? Reaching the end of the disc is like hitting a milestone for me, almost like motivation. I'd almost daresay it's a good thing!

Well, not really, but it's not all bad.

Didnt FF8 have 4?
Should be good then!

FF7-9 all had 3 discs IIRC.

Been forever and a day since I played any of them though, so I could easily be wrong.

They all had four, though each disc contained a large amount, and you kind of knew when a disc change was coming up. I prefer to think of them as serials, or episodic, if you will.

I have all three games sitting beside me right now. FFVII has 3 discs, FFVIII and IX have 4.

Yes you are correct. I have no idea why people think FF7 has 4 discs.

ME2 came on 2 disk, you didnt have to switch much.

I dont think it will be bad to be hone-*Please insert disk 2*

 

[Thaius]

To be honest, I'm sick of the people complaining abut multiple discs in games. Seriously people, switching discs a couple times is more than worth it for the amount of content that can be fit on multiple discs. Are you really so freaking lazy that you'd rather have a shorter game than to get up and switch out a freaking disc?

Am I weird for absolutely loving the disc-change screens?

They were like 3 minutes to stare at great screenshots while reflecting upon that awesome boss that you just slayed some 6 minutes back.

Or, in the case of Final Fantasy VII, time to reflect on what just happened and try to convince yourself that it didn't. That was the longest, most emotionally taxing disc change ever.

1 Disk as it should be. Glad I own a PS3 and will not have to disk swap constantly. I hear Star Ocean 4 was nightmarish on the 360. I will be getting that one for PS3 as well...

The only thing Nightmarish about it was the last boss

Especially with disc installations now, it really wasn't that much of an issue, its not like you needed to change the disc every 5 minutes (or even 5 hours in the vast number of cases).

Seconded. Except -- well, FFIX was okay.

Why would you own both a PS3 and Xbox 360? So you can play BioShock on two different controllers?

Agreed. Frankly, the fact that it's multiplat means more people get to enjoy it. More people enjoying it is way better than the alternative.

Yes, multiplat is awesome, just like consoles that duplicate most of each other's major releases are awesome and monopolistic competition is awesome.

Ok, I can't believe the amount of stupid that went into this post.

Most people who have both systems do so in order to play each system's exclusive, or to play with different sets of friends. Everyone will always have a favorite, but those who have both have both for reasons other than BioShock...

Gives it nice retro feel to it I reckon.
