Ever since they announced that Final Fantasy XIII will hit Xbox 360 as well as Playstation 3, Square Enix has been subjected to fans criticism and accusations of "betrayal".
"I'd rather they not think of [Final Fantasy XIII on Xbox 360] as a 'betrayal' or disappointment," Square Enix Corporate Director Shinji Hashimoto said. "It's not like we're cancelling or delaying the PS3 version at all! It's more of an added bonus for 360 fans. We won't be putting them at a disadvantage in any way."
"I think that maybe because it's going multiplatform that some fans are worried about the game's scope being reduced to fit onto both consoles," series Producer Yoshinori Kitase tried to find excuses for his game's fans. "The fact is, the PS3 version is what's in development right now, and the team is working to specialize that version to the very best of the PS3's abilities."
"After that, we'll do the 360 port and optimize it to that particular hardware. There will be no decrease in quality as a result of the game appearing across two platforms."
