SE says XIV damaged the Final Fantasy brand name.

Scary thing is they still are at the top of the graphics. Seen my 360 drop in frame-rate a couple of times during heavy graphical moments on FFXIII. Only other game I've seen do that to a 360 is Sonic The Hedgehog, because of how advanced they went with the havok physics engine. Sega and Square Enix have that in common, they always seem to like to release games that push a console to it's very limit, so FFXIV's PS3 release will be.... interesting.

Its known that the 360 version of FF13 was rushed and not optimized very well, it doesn't even run at 720 natively.

As a long time SE fan I can honestly say they were never at the top of the graphical game, SE have always been top dog where CGI is concerned but that becoming less and less important with every generation of consoles.
