FINAL FANTASY XIII IDEAL VS ACTUALITY
Posts
"Sharp-eyed observers can't help but notice that upcoming blockbuster RPG Final Fantasy XIII's graphics seem to have suffered a substantial degradation since the first promotional shots were released."
- Sankaku
Now shots of the game are looking distinctly polygonal…
Originals are above, later shots below:
Of course, nobody believes promotional images for games, but even so this is slightly disappointing.

While I don't think anyone's going to boycott the game for this kind of thing, and it's certainly not going to change the gameplay at all, you do have to wonder if this kind of thing is deliberate and the first promotional shots are intentionally made so much better than you could ever hope to see in the game. I've never really noticed it before, but the 'nobody believes promotional images for games' implies that that's the case...
Graphics reached the point of me not caring with PS2 graphics. There was a little room for improvement with PS games.
This however, doesn't bug me at all. When I first saw the pics on Kotaku, I didn't read it, and had no idea what the big deal was. I thought it was about stylistic changes or making characters more cute/sexy.

The game looks retarded either way.
the only thing I've seen is the trailer and it looks sweet imo. What other info has been released?
this is bullshit how dare they make actual in-game graphics that look very close to prerendered cg
square-enix this is your last warning...
EDIT: Just in case that wasn't noticeable, anyone who is disappointed by this is a retard. You're splitting hairs on things you don't even know about.
OH SHIT GUYS LIGHTNING'S COLLAR HAS FEWER POLYGONS game ruined, book closed, shut down the store, this is the end.
Maybe next time you fucknits won't pay so much attention to prerelease material to stroke your dicks to.

Couldn't this also be the PS3 version versus the XBOX 360 version (notice how there's English subtitles in one screenshot)? Either way, the graphics aren't THAT big of a deal. It's not like PS1/N64/Dreamcast, where the Dreamcast had the best graphics, followed by PS1, with N64 bringing up the rear with pop-up graphics and fog everywhere.
The difference is pretty big when they're put together like that but I probably wouldn't notice anything major just playing it. Otherwise, I'm not a big fan of the look of the game. Kinda bright and flamboyant futuristic like FF8 and FF10 (to an extent). I prefer the slightly darker industrial style they used in FF7 and FF6, which is why I'm slightly more excited by Versus VIII, which seems like it will have a dark, noir-ish feel to it.
vXIII looks like absolute garbage.
Also, it would be easy to rename this thread "Here is a bunch of people who didn't realize they were watching fake footage."

Exactly. The top character looks a lot like the annoying princess in FFXII which isn't to my liking. It will sell bucketloads anyway.
Honestly the closer to FFX/X-2 the graphics are the better
post=90185I thought the Nintendo 64 had better graphics than the PSOne?

This is why I hate the gaming industry sometimes, because people go nuts over bullshit like this. Does it really matter, just like when John Carmac said the Playstation 3 version of Rage would have slightly better graphics in the areas you can't get to.. who cares WTF!?
post=90220so, which characters are chicks, and which are dudes? It's getting so hard to tell with these FFs.post=90167Exactly. The top character looks a lot like the annoying princess in FFXII which isn't to my liking. It will sell bucketloads anyway.

post=90272I wouldn't count on that.
GIS a character with safe search off should do it
