Never got into previous Final Fantasy games, turn based game play isn't really my thing. The more action style of this looks awesome.
Might have to check out the previous titles if this is any good.

I am interested in this game, but for the of........leave the japanese track in the game so those of us who value our ears can avoid the horrid american voice acting. Just give us subs.

technically, they don't - both companies' technologies rely heavilly on:agrajag said:
* EMBM (for both camera-dependent per-pixel specularities and post-processing filters)
* DOF
* precomputed GI lightmaps
(yes, i've looked carefully into all footage i've come across)
it's just that SE are way more skillful with those- you can tell by the subtle uses of the tech that unobtrusively add to a scene's appearance. with HVS it's often in-your-face when the tech is there, or inexplicably missing when they failed to use it to the point. that can be attributed to the difference in class of their artists' tech skills and/or rushing the product.
that's what a hackjob of a trailer can do to an otherwise technically impressive game. go check the jp site of the game - they have the longest offically-released trailer so far (AFAIK): main page -> multimedia (bottom right-most) -> left entry : play (sorry, it's entirely flash). pay special attention to the overall lighting, animations and camera work, even before devling into details.
C'mon people, this trailer does have a weird image quality but we all know the game looks nice from other videos and direct feed screens. And even if you haven't been seeing the released media, what was the last SE game that didn't look great for the system it was on? This should go without saying, they rarely underdeliver on the visual presentation.
Anyway, what we know of the gameplay, scope and ideas is ace. Can't wait for impressions on the playable E3 build.

Damn, the site is getting pounded on.
Anyway, I thought the trailer was trying to add in too many events and should have been more streamlined like the Japanese one. Still, that doesn't make me any less excited. Can't wait to play this game. Hopefully there will be some good impressions from the show. Looking forward to the next couple of days.

Well, there was that Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers for the Wii. You remember that game?
Seriously, I really didn't think it was all that visually impressive. I really did think Dreamcast from a few shots. The geometry was low, there's no bump maps or any kind. The lighting of the models are static, the textures are decent, and barely anything eye catching except maybe the bad hair on a few characters.
The gameplay could be good. That's really all that matter at this point.

Its kinda close to the original Final Fantasy Logos. The ones before it hit NA.

How'd the trailer quality get reduced that much?

we may never know, but here's a theory: re-encoding from web-quality footage, trying to doctor things up ('hey, let's fix that low contrast here..') and totally fucking things up.Teknoman said:
anyhow, this trailer is the very definition of a 'hackjob'. definitely does the game a disservice.
I'm very much looking forward to this game. The whole flying and falling through open skies trying to blow shit out the air with some giant gun thing that's bigger than you are looks like some hot shit.
I'm a bit weary of the IR-based telekinesis...thing, but I guess we'll see how it all works out.
Oh yeah, I agree that it has horrible dialog and logo, but...whatever. :lol

Ditto, though I haven't liked a mainline FF game since VI so that's not saying much.Amir0x said:

I've waited too long for this.

Dang, thats a big difference X_X.
So huh some cutscenes, driving an airship, the person playing (very randomly) dicks around inside the train and city, more scenes and the chocobo carriage sequence.cw_sasuke said:
Yeah, I hope there's more to the E3 demo than that. I'd think there's a proper "field" area to play around with?
Namomura said:
Seriously, after the low quality trailer and the content in this demo it almost appears as if someone is intentionally trolling the game behind the scenes. :lol Wouldn't it be better to get a mid game mission or something with more action?
Anyway:
Medals in the demo = random optional collect-a-thon in the main game basically confirmed. Awesome.
Also, here are the screens from the zip at Nintendo's press site. All are old but first time direct feed. I think it looks nice.
Bitch away about the lack of AA if you must but by now we know what to expect from Wii screenshots versus the actual game in motion.

I guess that's all the were talking about when they mentioned you get to control the airship a year or two ago, whenever that was. While part of me thinks that's disappointing, I just thought it looked too fun to care It kind of reminded me of the FFIX cutscene where you're escaping Black Waltz No. 3, except now you get to play it
I feel that I'm going to love these playable scenes. Variety was a key part to my love of Disaster, and combining that kind of variety with a FFCC game...
That's such a poor demo for them to put out, but I'd murder to play it. I don't even want to think of how much fun I'd have with even that little. And the graphics look incredible!
Why aren't more people hyped about this?!
