got to say that ff13 box at the top of the topic look awsome for a collector edition of the game but like alan said it will most likely to be 4 or 5 dvd disk or a duel layer dvd disk

I'd have to agree. There must be a lot of base code in that 5 gigabytes. Also, Square Enix probably has some sort of compression voodoo for getting it down into DVDs.

I also forgot that Final Fanasy Fans are used to a crazy amount of discs, so you are right Alan. This is nothing new for Final Fantasy fan.

That's pretty astounding. I hope it's not that large, or it's bound to effect price point.

Perhaps most of that 5 gigabytes is the game engine, and content takes up significantly less space?

I'm kind of stunned.

I don't think they'll be able to fill up 13 discs worth if they convert and compress the game well enough. I agree with Mraellis' proposal that the demo may have more in it than is actually playable.

Why do i suddenly want it to be 13 discs. :O

Those cases look awesome.

Anyway, apparently, as was massively discussed over, Metal Gear Solid 4 can work on the 360 and not be a massive number of discs. This is due to massive video and audio compression skills that the 360 has if the developers take the time to use it. I'm guessing with a game this size they are going to have to. But don't forget, perhaps in that demo it already has all of the games textures in and just not the code and sound for the rest of the game? In that case it would clearly fit. Tbh i doubt that though and think it will just need to be compressed into a 4 discer like Lost Odyssey and tbh it's something us fans are used to with FF7 (3 discs) and FF8 and FF9 which where 4 discs.
