If you were holding out for Final Fantasy XIII to join the likes of LittleBigPlanet and Resident Evil in adopting motion control then you will be waiting a while.

Yoshinori Kitase, Final Fantasy’s producer told CVG that playing a game as long as Final Fantasy would be “too exhausting” for gamers.

While the controllers may interest Kitase, the thought of waving an arm for a 100 plus hours is something the producer finds off-putting.

“These new type of controllers are very interesting, but we’re not sure that people would like to spend up to 100 hours playing a conventional Final Fantasy title with these types of controllers”.

“It could be too exhausting if you were always swinging a sword around for battles. So we will have to see what the future holds”.

We have to agree to some extent; with the level of grinding necessary in Final Fantasy games our arms would end up falling off.
