Doesn't look all that different from the GT one. Maybe slightly more crisp.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
This is so stupid.

To be fair, SE is making it obvious that this is indeed the Jump Festa trailer.
Sigh... I rememeber when the FFXIII E3'06 trailer hyped me out of my mind for the future of Final Fantasy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7uwtFpC4iI And I wasn't even a huge FF fan.
FFXIV won't interest me at all unless it goes FTP so I'm hoping that FFvXIII makes it out alive and lives up to my withered hype. I am now a sophomore in college and I've been waiting for this baby since middle school :/

7 years into this generation, i don't think it's too much to ask for FFXIII visuals in an open(-ish) world setting.
especially when they already made a sequel that looks like this
I haven't played XIII-2 and as such, is this an actual playable level?
EDIT: Nvm, makes Lightning's Return trailer even worse.
yea you walk along those blue things

Yup. It's one of the best looking cities in a JRPG this generation. There's some alleys and streets behind the buildings too, it's very maze-like.

That looks amazing.
Too bad the encounter rate was terrible in that level. You couldn't really stop and admire it.
Link is down... :-/

Ugh, I know, and bad music. The 4XX version is so much better, it's crazy.
Wow, such a shitty trailer. Seems like the game is likely to go beyond its predecessors footsteps and submerge itself deeper in crap. I don't even understand why they would reveal something like this. It's like they're going even further backwards, which is surprising considering how crap FFXIII was, there should be nowhere but up. It's almost as if Toriyama is just full of failure, like an innate ability of sorts.

God... I knew this game was very ambitious.
It seems this team can't handle it after all. I just pray that the footage I saw is actually from an early build...
Well, Luxerion looked great on the artworks, but the real thing is atrocious.
Combat system looks fine at least.

No, thankfully. But then that's just a tech demo.
I thought this was going to be an action RPG. Re-watching the trailer, that looks just like the FFXIII battle system in principle. Now, I understand that the only redeemable aspect of this shit series is the battle system, but that was when there were three people. How the heck is it going to be any good with just one person? It takes most of the fun out of it. They can't be this stupid, surely. And Lightning sounds like a constipated man.
Edit:
One positive note: Lightning's Final Journey
Well, thank Cthulhu for that. Seems like the suffering will end in 2013.

Thank you. Would either one of you have an idea as to what the places in the two pictures are called?
Thank you in advance.

XIII really only had you controlling one person though.

Wow I really should pop the disc in at least once. That looks like a nextgen Esthar.
No wonder it excited me more than any FFXIII CG cutscene did.... hee hee.

Yeah, but the fun was in shifting stances and making the battles fast paced.
Take that out, and the battle system is utter crap.

Looks more interesting than 13 or 13-2 ever did to me. Towns, check. Some effort to a combat system, check. The visuals don't look as nice but I hope thats because they were focused on more visual variety and better town/level design than just modeling a park bench to the nth degree for 6 months. Hopefully The story seems simpler and more direct than the previous, borderline kngdom hearts nonsense that FF started to become.

The battle system was utter crap for me to begin with due to it relying on the stagger mechanic and how it wanted to give anyone who played it with huge numbers all over the place.
And I wasn't feeling the magic(the spells in general) either.

XIII and XIII-2 are amongst the best looking games of this generation. You may have issues with some of the art-direction but you cannot deny the quality of the assets, and in all fairness of the engine.
All of which makes me unconcerned about the trailer footage; there's no way SE will release an average-looking FF game.
so there's a glimmer of hope yet

XIII on PS3 looked better but XIII-2 is the better game IMO. BTW, I wonder if LR will be shorter than XIII-2. Seems these games keep getting shorter.
They already said it's about a 13 hour game.

lol...nooooo you are lying...right?
The battle system was quite shallow, I admit. But out of all the other crap in that game, such as story and characters that only prepubescents would find appealing, the 40 hour straight path, underwhelming soundtrack, it was essentially the only decent thing in there. That and the very pretty visuals and art direction.
This game is supposed to be like 10 hours. They must think people will manage to cope with 10 hours of a castrated battle system. After all, the tutorial in FFXIII was longer than that.

Well they did say that the game is supposed to be mega short, but there are several different things to do in recurring playthroughs, just like Majora's Mask.
They said they wanted each day to last about an hour.
only 13 in game days lol
One day in the game is about an hour long. There's 13 days until the end.

You know if you asked me 2 days ago I would have told you I was looking forward to this game given I quite enjoyed XIII-2. In fact I was about to go buy another PS3 as mine broke. But now between looking at this trailer and now how short this game is. I think my gaming PC will suit me fine up until next gen =\

Iirc is 1-2 hours per day.
26 hours at best.

I can't get excited for console Square games anymore. It's all about handhelds for me.
