Final Fantasy 15 and Final Fantasy VS13 comparison

Looks fine in motion. Put the image into focus, and then drag your window around if you don't believe me.
I will be honest. The first time I watched the trailer I thought it was cgi. I needed to watch it again to realized that it wasn't.
You need glasses.
OK guys my mistake, that's a really good model, game looks amazing and if it wont suffer any downgrades this thread would seem rather stupid 
I think i was stunned the most about Stella's render in the new trailer. Even with all the flaws in the model, that makes it even more impressive! We've actually gotten to that point, where we can, even if only in limited scenarios such at cutscenes, render a full approximation of visual works CG models in real time on consumer level hardware and have it actually work!
And people said we wouldn't reach CG quality this gen...The order, this and Uncharted 4 say nay

We've come this far, get ready.
Are you sure this is a real time in-game model and not a CGI? i find it hard to believe.
Holy shit, I believe I'm reading about PS2 and FF8 dance scene tech demo. I must have found a way to post in past NeoGAF.
Hello guys in the past, if you want stock market info or information on natural disasters that are going to happen in the future pm me.

For presentations sake,it's common to hide any superfluous UI to make it look nicer in trailers.
But keep some so that people believe it's actual gameplay.
I swear this is what's happening 90% of the time somebody says they're not impressed with some new game's graphics.

can we stop referring to pre-rendered stuff as cgi? everything in a video game is cgi.

Yes please, it's confusing.
PS Impressed that SE actually (reasonably) delivers on the promises of its pre-rendered gameplay trailer. Was expecting a watch dogs type of development. The skin looks really subsurfacy.

Probably because the trailer was made to showcase the exploration bit and less on fighting, which is why they disable the UI for the most part. It's not finalized too, I can tell.

The game has actually improved visually, but I'm worried about these huge empty areas.
It works for Xenoblade.
The environment designs and musics need to be top-notch though to make sure those empty spaces are immersive and fun for the player to explore around in them.
Yea, pretty much.
Our brains still remember 'being impressed' by stuff last gen. Yet we've also grown accustomed to next-gen graphics already, so I think its very easy to forget how much has actually changed since the 360/PS3 heyday.

I still think that the Versus XIII trailers are impressive...
ditto, if the environments are breathtaking.....I would take my time walking through them. Wasn't an issue for Xenoblade.....don't see why Square can't make it happen with an engine that looks this good.

The PS3 shot looks more saturated but thats not necessarily a good thing. The green in the PS4 shot seems like it could be brightened a bit but it may just be the environment. If the trailer is any indication, they're not averse to using strong colors.

I doubt they will all be like that. I mean if they are looking to emulate an arid landscape, it very much looks pretty accurate to places I have been to in northern Chile.
The graphics engine reminds me somewhat of what they are using for Driveclub funnily enough. Great sense of scale, lighting and modelling. This and Witcher 3 are my two most wanted games along with Uncharted 4.
And imagine how good it's gonna look on the PS5!
If that's CGI, Square became really shit at CGI suddenly.
edit: that's Square's CGI stuff from 9 years ago

Who designed the terrible hair? You can see everything looks so good and yet the hairstyles are laughably bad in a way that they stick out like a sore thumb.
Am I the only one that think it fits with the style still?
Nah man, you got to look at their shoes.
Fricken RED BOTTOM!
All dress classy in black...then boom, red.

If it helps, there's also Cor Leonis, who isn't in the trailer, he's part of the team too. He's meant to be older and more serious (think Auron).

I really, really do not like the more realistic, boring, bland look of the FFXV outer environments. I really wish there was more "fantasy" to it, and it didn't feel like I'm playing Red Dead Redemption.

So I saw an article that took a few shots from VS13's original trailers and compared them to the new TGS trailer for 15. I wasn't really paying attention to VS13 back then since I never played a FF game before. But after playing 10 and 7 getting a feel for the series, I decided to start paying more attention to 15.
Honestly I was under the impression the game hadn't changed much from the original footage because what I remember seeing back then looked really good... but god damn I wasn't expecting this much of a jump.
VS13
I actually prefer how the trees look in the PS3 version.In XV they look very flat and there's too much copy pasta.

I said this in the other thread as well, but I vastly prefer the filter(s) and color tone Versus XIII.

I think there will be more varied enivroments in different parts of the game, the trailer only really focused on the one area.
Car comparison
Am I dreaming too big here, or is this game seriously going to (at least partly) be about a Japanese boy band having a road trip through an FF open world in their pimped out ride? The idea alone is weirdly exciting to me.
If it is, I'm probably just an FFX-2 "Real Emotion" style intro sequence away from forgiving the past 8 years of bullshit around this game completely.

I agree with this. While graphically she is much better, my first thought was she looked much better in old Versus.
The trees in the new trailer look like they were procedurally generated. I think there is a middleware for that. Pretty sure an Elder Scrolls game has used it. Would not be surprised if FFXV is using it too.
From the looks, old FFversus13 seemed to be using SpeedTree already, so no change on that department. Oh and btw, nearly every Game uses SpeedTree, its up to the Artist how the Trees and Bushes look.
Every time a new FF game comes out, I think "I REALLY need to get into this series." But then, I try games like FFIV, FFVI, and FFIX and the same thing happens every time:
I get about 20 hours in and quit for whatever reason. And this new footage always makes me feel like an RPG failure, just like the new footage for FFXIII did last gen.
GAF, there is reallly nothing else like seeing new footage of Final Fantasy on the latest hardware. It actually makes me wish I was a different type of gamer. There really is some magical artwork in FF games.
Edit: Hopefully my current playthrough of Xenoblade snaps my current JRPG-quit streak. It's the first one in quite a while to capture me in the way that it has.
