I went to WAGs boutique and all I got was a sniff
All the pictures look sooooo good. Its such a shame that FF games take ages to be released, but the wait is always worth it. I've never been disappointed with a FF game.

I pulled the old stills because you mentioned "pre-rendered models" in a general way. And pesonally, the skin shading on the Yuna lookalike looks exactly like the CG trailers. And even in these small scans, you can tell the clothes are pretty damn complex on that beeatch, with the bow on her shirt, the individually modeled details along the edges of said shirt, or the transluscent part in the shoulder area where a shadow is seemingly being casted inside of it. You go ahead and keep the faith alive there buddy.
There's one thing that always disappoints me... The "International" versions they release only in Japan, where they add all the content they didn't put there in the first place because of time constraints.psycho_snake said:
Will certainly happen with the XIII games, but for now I'll ignore this and be happy that the games are looking awesome.
Someone said Shotgun Guy looks like Naruto. :lolChris Michael said:

Yeah it makes me wish Square put effort into games other than RPG's. You've got to figure a big part of the amount of time it takes is the story, side-quests; simply the nature of creating a 20+ story-heavy jrpg and the attention to detail the genre needs. Now if they released a game (once again, with effort put into it) without the requisite windbaggery of the genre and only the trademark SE industry-leading graphics, they could likely produce those at a much faster clip. They could be like Capcom, but instead they focus on one franchise, build the anticipation and whore it to hell.
I don't even have a gripe with releasing International versions, but I do have a problem with confining them to the Japanese language only, even more if you consider that the audio and most of the script and text already exists in English. Final Fantasy X International had the option for Japanese and English text, but every subsequent game by SE that got a second release didn't do this.Kyoufu said:
The "director's cut" versions of the Metal Gear games are always localized, I really don't get why SE doesn't follow suit, it's not like the games wouldn't sell.
DLC would be really sweet, I'm so jaded about those Internationals that I didn't even consider this before.

Woah woah woah. I didn't mention anything on this topic. I am assuming everything is pre-rendered unless stated otherwise.
All true, but given that--if I can heavily extrapolate based on one still the scene looks heavily scripted/constrained. Furthermore, I see a heavily obfuscated background environment, a shining kingdom hearts decal, crystal effects straight out of the FFX Shiva summon, and translucent surface lighting effects straight out of a three year old NVIDIA demo. I was never saying it's possibly real time because OMG SQUARE AWESOME!!! I'm suggesting it's possible because it's not all that technically impressive.
My so-called 'faith' in this game begins and ends with battle director Toshiro Tsuchida. And if he lives up to my hopes the graphics could look like Resistance 1 for all I care as long as it serves story and gameplay.
BTW, don't mean to escalate tension, I'm just saying you seem way too invested in disabusing any praise for this game.

Well, the only International version never released in English is FFXII. FFVII International was just the addition of the Weapons which Japan didn't initially get, and FFX International had all the Dark Aeons and stuff in the PAL version (ie English). As far as I'm aware none of the others had an international version really, and I have to agree with DLC it doesn't seem to likely to happen in the future.
Haha sorry Leidenfrost, I thought you were VonGak! so I erronouesly made some assumptions. Actually I'm pretty excited about both games, but you're right, I don't really know why I keep trying to convince you people that's not real-time. In my opinion, of course. Maybe I'm just fucking tired of Squeenix pumping CG down our throats for two years and seemingly having forgotten about the actual games.
I do think though, if those pictures were indeed real-time, the magazine would make a big deal out of it.
With that said, I'm out of this particular discussion.

and that FFX-2 Last Mission or whatever it was called. From what I remember it had a good deal of new stuff in it.
...for the 10 people in the west that actually liked FFX-2.
Count me in those 10 people. And yeah, I was pissed about that one too. :lolTheJollyCorner said:and that FFX-2 Last Mission or whatever it was called. From what I remember it had a good deal of new stuff in it.

Lightning looks so good. Too few games anymore cast badass female leads.

I know the feeling and totally sympathize. I'm not entirely convinced the lack of information is because of any development politics...I have a notion that the PR guys at S-E are horrible, horrible, malicious human beings.
Hope the game exceeds your personal expectations, sir.

You act like there is a hell of a difference. Thats not a high res shot and we can't make out a lot of detail. It could very well be the same CG model.

Just because you thought you were responding to me. ^.^jett said:
I never said the game-play would look the same as those renders, just that it will look close enough to capture the essence.
To elaborate, the game-play camera will never zoom that much onto the character models, there's be 3D gorgeous backdrops the player can't enter/interact with and the art style lets it self very well to current game rendering methods so the gap between cut-scene and game-play won't be jarring.
Ad by essence I mean that the player will feel comfortable with the graphics knowing what they are supposed to portray. No one really notice the graphical differences between the Shrek movies because the art style has set the barrier. ^.^

Just like Dagger is the name of the lead female in IX, eh?

The pink box says she's called by the name "Lightning," but that's not her real name.

you know its a shame that SE could make a FFXIII/FFvsXIII prologue demo and sell it and make tons of money (i would buy it).

Modern, not futuristic. Modern. It's a "fantasy based on reality," as the trailer aptly put it. The locations seen thus far are based on the present day Shinjuku district of Tokyo, and the Plaza San Marco of Venice, Italy.Chris Michael said:
