It was bound to happen eventually. Final Fantasy XIII has been confirmed to have entered the land of PS3 hardware. Yep, the White Engine is up and running on the PS3, so those graphics we've drooled over are apparently going to be exactly what we see in the final build. No surprises -- this is Square Enix, after all. What isn't clear is how recently this change took place. Was it on PS3 hardware at TGS? Was it on PS3 hardware at E3?

Either way you paint it, the canvas is still mostly empty; if FFXIII is just not getting onto the PS3 hardware, we'll probably not see it in 2008. Not very surprising, since FFXII took nearly five years to develop, granted there were a lot of hardships felt by many of the people involved in the game during development. Also revealed is that the December issue of EGM is going to feature FFXIII as one of its headlining previews, so if you're itching for info on the game, run out and snag that issue when it comes out. We'll be on top of it as well!

This sounds interesting, will have to check it out. Would be a game that would definately drag some people over to the ps3 too.
I personally am getting a little burned out over FF, but again I'm a student of the old FF games. This game is truly going to look wonderful and hopefully play the same way. All one has to do is look at the FF games that came out for the PS2 to know that Square will have no problem making an amazing game.
Heh i've only played halfway through ffX but i seemed to like it ok, there are other styles off rpg/adventure games that i like though, so what FFXIII comes out in 5 years that is when i'll get my PS3 Toungue unless of course they come out with another decent game.
so they did keep the white engine...i remember reading that square was gonna start using the Unreal engine..but i guess that was just a huge lie...
Oh I'm not sure if it was a lie or not. I mean did you hear official confirmation that the Unreal Engine was going to be used or rumor? Either way this game is bound to rock, and sell big time.
