Technically: Lost Odyssey, Eternal SonataAnimeTheme said:
Artistically: Blue Dragon, Eternal Sonata, Tales of Vesperia
The graphic engine in this game is average. The character design is nigh on terrible. The "mechs" are pretty neat and the concept art for the huge beasts was awesome. I'm looking forward to seeing how that concept art has been realised in game. So far, the only in-game shots/movies have been hugely underwhelming (a bunch of people standing around a monster, pummeling away a la FFXI, some running around fields, etc).

actually if you check the vids, I think this has better lighting than both those games....they have better textures though...as for polycount, how can you say? This seems to have bigger areas than both those games at least, as both were broken up with loading pretty often. Also, this game is going for large scale, I expect this to have a higher poly count than either... polycount is the last thing that can be commented on yet...
Also would say that IU looks technically superior to LO in some ways
One thing also, people seem to be hating on the original gameplay movies so much....but the original movies of LO were even worse...they were terrible, yet the game turned out to be fine from a gameplay perspective....it was obvious that they were also showing bare bones experience last time round
Not to mention virtually static camera angles, and the fact that they don't even look that great.Wollan said:
Don't get me wrong, I don't think WKC looks particularly stunning either. It's a low-risk design from what I see, I'd expect it to run at 60fps for them to be able to get away with that. But those examples listed were just absolutely ridiculous. LO was an absolute mess technologically. For a game that looks like it does to not even be able to run at 30 frames per second is an absolute joke when you consider what other games are able to do with the same engine on the same hardware with 1/4th the number of discs.
What do you mean "and it STILL"? Those are the sacrifices that that game had to make just to make it look even as good as it did. If White Knight ends up with a solid framerate with large areas and decent loading times, throw in the fact that we know it will feature a fully dynamic camera, even if it ends up looking exactly the same as Lost Odyssey, how the hell can you make the argument that LO is "technologically superior"?DCharlie said:
And that being said, I wholeheartedly disagree with your "opinion" on strictly just the visual aesthetic as well. I'd go point by point but that would just shit up the thread even more. The bottom line is, the only argument against his points that would be on an equal level of "contribution" as his statements would be, "No they're not."

This is my first time ever seeing this trailer and as I was watching I felt like I was watching the end result of a Ultraman, Voltron, Godzilla and the Power Rangers orgy. With bad ass music.

This is my favorite shot:
Captured it myself along with some others, because the ones on the first page are full of fugly compression artifacts.
Please excuse the arrow. >_>

I'll raise you on Lost Odyssey having the higher polygon count for sure.

Well, since I haven't seen the game's current form in motion yet, I won't try to argue which JRPGs it is technically superior to - if any. Like anybody can actually make that claim based on all the info we have now. If you can, then either you're part of the development staff or have seen more footage than has been released to the public. True, you could use last year's TGS demo as evidence but last year's TGS demo is exactly that; a demo made of an incomplete game one year prior to it's release. Huge changes could have been made to the graphics engine since then. And these recent screengrabs could be a good or bad representation of what the game looks like - this happens all the time with other games. Seems extremely foolish to me to try and base how powerful a game engine is with only this information.
I'm hoping this game impresses since I haven't really been impressed with any of the next-gen JRPGs released up to this point and I've pretty much played them all with the exception of Trusty Bell and Blue Dragon (neither for those games interest me in the slightest). Maybe I'll have to wait til FF13/Versus and Star Ocean 4 before I'm impressed with a next-gen JRPG, but I certainly hope that won't be the case.

So does THIS:Darkpen said:
Edit: Changed the image to one that was on the scan just for Kagari, valid as of September 2008.
I don't need to, are you even listening? Screens from a year ago are on the scan that was released this week. More than half the images in this thread from that trailer are on it. They might have tweaked the GUI a bit, but visually it looks no different.Kagari said:
