A Neil Goldman-lookalike and soundalike has posted a video on Youtube expressing his ... dissatisfaction with yesterday's announcement that Final Fantasy XIII will be go multiplatform. This "expert" in Japanese culture offers to the "gaming community" the consequences of Square-Enix's actions. He encourages us all to sign an online petition requesting an apology from Square-Enix and changing FFXIII back to a PS3 exclusive. Watch especially for the toast he offers at 1:38! Some real comedy gold here.
[Yes, we are aware this is Kevin Bowen of Something Awful. It doesn't make it any less hilarious. Apparently the people at PetitionOnline.com caught on as well, as the petition has been taken down.]

Waste of time. The decision has been made and no amount of signatures will change anything.
Pathetic.

dude whoever wrote this petition is dumb. no matter what the playstation owners say, all square enix cares about is whether or not the xbox version is goi ng to sell, which it is going to do no matteerr what. i mean i understand you're pissed. because so am i, considering its one fourth of the reason i paid twice as much for a ps3, the other three fourths being metal gear solid 4, gran turism 55, and socom confrontation . i mean what are you going to say to square enix to convince them to keep it exclusive? that you arent going to buy it if its multi plattfform? they'll say fine, miss out on the best and only true blooded rpg on the ps3. fuck that. im pissed, but at least ill still be able to play it. also, ill actually be able to talk to myy friends and people i work wiith aboutt the game, because i dont even know anyone who owns aa ps3, except in cyber space. GOOD LUCK WITH WASTING YOUR TIME!

brad: Not at all. If Square can get a good number of sales in NA/EU, without spending extra porting everything over to the 360, they'd take it in a heartbeat.
That said, they'd look like idiots for announcing it, if they later changed their minds.

Technically, final fantasy games have gone multiplatform before ff13. I mean look at the ps 1 re-releases. I clearly understand that they had been out as first nintendo exclusives on the snes but really nobody complained about those games on the ps 1.
It's still on the ps3 and will probably have trophy support, maybe even it's own home room. I don't understand why people are so upset. I mean multiplatform helps the brand out. It's also good to point out that it's just been announced it doesn't mean it's going to better.

I'm glad 360 is getting it too. Beside, PS3 is getting Versus and 360 isn't, so stop whining.

I could care less if 360 gets it or not. What I care about is that we have to wait until it gets ported to 360 before we get it.

Gah, giving this goon airtime is giving him what he wants. Keep this idiot and all of Something Awful off these boards at least in the official article spaces.
