FF13 is looking to be PS3 exclusive. The only thing saying otherwise
was that rumour earlier this year that it would be multiplatform TuRtLe ~~~ 63/84 in the contest. Next pick: Han Solo > Ada Wang BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

By "close the lead overnight" sure you mean, prevent from getting
crushed like he will during the day? Cause I don't see Ada slowing down
anytime soon. --- "Opinions are like butts, little girl. Everyone's got one and nobody thinks their's stink." -Lunar 2:EB *Claims KG's Eclair, C.C. & Tear Grants* |

Balthier should be able to close the lead overnight. what no Uh, he kind of already is. He's not winning updates or anything, but the percentage gap is narrowing at least. And thank god for that. I'm...I'm still looking for some semblance of sanity, here. |

Nah. There's no plans right now for Square to release it on the 360.
Although I'm sure if Last Remnant were to do well on the console,
they'd certainly start to consider it. FF13 is a ways off as it is,
though -- late 2008 in Japan at the earliest. --- let's mosey |

though -- late 2008 in Japan at the earliest. That might have been what I was thinking off. But that's definitely true - if Last Remnant gets a lot of sales, it's almost guaranteed Square fill find a way to put FF13 on the 360 as well. It would be financially stupid to do otherwise. Though, that's conditional on Last Remnant doing well on 360. Square execs are actually probably already thinking a lot about Remnant's 360 sales. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

Why Balthier is closing the lead: In the first 5 minutes, he was down 100 votes. In the next 30, he went down about 250. Its not just percentage, his vote totals are increasing, or hers are decreasing, or something. I wouldn't be surprised if he does win, though I'm kinda shocked at his underperformance thus far. |

| Also keep in mind that Ada is probably much more
loved by the hardcores on gamefaqs than Balthier. I see him taking over
the day vote if things go right. --- Ogre Battle saga fanboy, and hopeless supporter of Lans Tartare for CB2K8! |

I just realized how epically bad Jade is really doing here. This is one
of the weakest fourpacks imaginable, yet he's struggling like hell to
stay above 10%. This is actually one of the worst performances we've ever seen. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

there's a lot of votes that come in the first five minutes. twice as
many as that update, actually. there's a reason that lead was so big. Balthier is pretty much done here. it would take some kind of 2006-esque Nintendo Power Hour voodoo to stop Ada from walking all over Balthier in this match. --- xyzzy http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/2636/ivotedphoenixyi0.png |

Correction: Only 15 people on Board 8 care about Tales games, and somehow manage to get their fodder into every contest. Seriously, Mithos? What were you guys thinking? TuRtLe ~~~ 63/84 in the contest. Next pick: Han Solo > Ada Wang BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

Jade weaker than Zelos is a GIVEN! At least ToS was decently popular in the US! TotA is so overlooked. A shame! --- "Opinions are like butts, little girl. Everyone's got one and nobody thinks their's stink." -Lunar 2:EB *Claims KG's Eclair, C.C. & Tear Grants* |

Ada could barely triple last year's Jade. I'd honestly say the 2 are
about equal. The only character I'd consider weaker would be Alyx Vance TuRtLe ~~~ 63/84 in the contest. Next pick: Han Solo > Ada Wang BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

He'd double him at the very least! And the worse part is, I can't think
of anyone else from Abyss that would do noticeably better. Guy could
match him, but that's it! --- Current Points: 68 -- 43rd on Leaderboard Maximum Possible Points: 752/768 |

I still can't wrap my mind around this. The best Final Fantasy in almost 10 years, and a character who's a cross between Jack Sparrow and Han Solo, how is Balthier not dominating here? The only explanation I can think of is that Ada was SFFd badly by Smaus last year, and is at Leon's level. TuRtLe ~~~ 63/84 in the contest. Next pick: Han Solo > Ada Wang BlAcK TuRtLe.

cross between Jack Sparrow and Han Solo, how is Balthier not dominating
here? He's boring, and he's in a boring game? Just throwing that out there. It actually pains me to give him my vote, but I have to do my part to bail water out of the sinking ship that is my bracket. --- Official Queen ***** of the Universe! Political Compass: -0.38, -4.21 |

We need less talk about cult RPGs that sold under 20,000 copies, and more talk about getting Protoman back into a contest. He's honestly the only character that made it into the bracket that deserves a second shot at this point. Raiden was the other one, but we saw what happened to him. TuRtLe ~~~ 63/84 in the contest.

To be honest, my best explanation is that FFXII ownership is remarkably
low compared to the more powerful FFs. I've never played any PS2 FF,
but I imagine from what I hear that if most of the people who vote for
all the other FF powerhouses had played XII, they'd like Balthier. --- Thank you, Eddie Guerrero. Character Battle V Contest Winner! |

I never said it was plausible (or even remotely true), it's just the
only scenario that makes sense to me right now. I can't fathom Balthier
not being a decent midcarder. TuRtLe ~~~ 63/84 in the contest. Next pick: Han Solo > Ada Wang BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

there is pretty much no chance of FFXIII going to 360 right now...at
the closed megatheater presenation for FFXIII, they said that after the
FFXIII trailer "Only for PS3" came up in big letters, where in previous
trailers it just said "Final Fantasy XIII" Also the White Engine can only run on the PS3, since it specifically taps into the Cell processor for addtitional rendering power --- Our shields cannot withstand wavedashing of this magnitude! Annoying posters! I am the great wavedash! [no u cru] |
