    To every action, there is a re-action. Maybe now the enviroment in Final Fantasy is a lot more important than in the previous installments.
    The below sentence is true.
    The above sentence is false.

    Because after 4-6 years of experimenting with a system you'll know a lot more about what it is capable of and how to manipulate it to get the most possible use out of it.
    My friend Delzethin is currently running a GoFundMe account to pay for some extended medical troubles he's had. He's had chronic issues and lifetime troubles that have really crippled his career opportunities, and he's trying to get enough funding to get back to a stable medical situation. If you like his content, please support his GoFundMe, or even just contribute to his Patreon.

    He can really use a hand with this, and any support you can offer is appreciated.

    As it already been said,
    Square Enix only wants to build a lot of hype around the game.
    It won't really max it, but it will still look pretty amazing.

    Yes, max it to the point where the framerate sucks. :P Quite an accomplishment.

    I dunno, My sister has a ps3 and my bro-in-law plays it alot, and I guess I'm old and I don't like my games looking -that- real.

    The only thing that keeps me with RPG's that look -that- real is the awe of the graphics, other than that, I end up feeling like I'm in an interactive movie, most likely one of those random CG movies that seem to be coming out in the theaters more and more.

    It's just RPG's though, I like race car games looking realistic or fighting games looking realistic, I just feel RPG's as telling a story, and well, telling a story in a form that relies on 80% visual and 20% mental just feels like a movie.

    I like how the graphic for the games r great but not like actuall humans look. If that happend i think that would ruin the up coming Final Fantasy Titles.

    I agree on that one.Graphics dont have to be photorealistic to be good.Unfortunately most western developed games try very much to be as photorealistic as possible (especially at character design) and imo it ruins the atmosphere of the games.

    I think the ultimate accomplishment an RPG could make in this next-gen era is taking something unrealistic and making it look realistic. XIII seems to be on the right track so far. Many critics have already credited certain RPGs for surpassing movies in storytelling, music has been brought up to to the level it is in other media forms, and the main challenge of gameplay's only real barrier left goes back to making it presented well visually.

    S-E might not be able to max the PS3, but they will come pretty close. I am confident that FFXIII will be a great game, graphically and technically. Maybe they will max out the PS3 whenever they make their third Final Fantasy on the PS3 console, but even then, they probably could still put much much more into their games.

    I don't know why you people are so upfront about this, such as saying no, they won't max it out. What did you actually expect? You are only saying that they won't max it out because of the 'it will take years and years for a game to max out PS3" fact? However, a similar situation already have happened in the past (it was PS2, those games have maxed out PS2 after years) BUT that was because everything were old back then. Besides that, you have to consider the economy/developments rate in Japan at the moment, they grow and evolve a lot faster THAN before, so that means they could (especially japanese programmers) gain the ability to max out PS3 early, due to the latest developments that Japan have.

    You never know, there's no pure evidence in backing up the claim (oh n0ez, it will take years for it to max out). Think about it, the game isn't even fully made yet, so how can we know for sure that it won't be maxed out or at least almost maxed out? Sometimes, the FF13 developers make new decisions without informing people in the media... so opinions change from time to time. No need to be upfront about it, it's not a crime to be optimistic about it either.

    SE has the best relationship with Sony (teh creator of P$3) for gaming on the platforms, they share best interactions to each other, e.g. feeding information to each other about in-depth of PS3. So that means there's a chance that they will max it out earlier.

    It would be awesome if they could max it out on the first PS3 title and then spend all the time for the subsequent titles on story and gameplay.

    As sweet as that sounds I would say it’s unlikely.

    I think the critics are getting too caught up on the "Max out the ps3" term - that was the EoFF front page's words. Nomura's statement was that it would be the first game to take full advantage of the ps3 - something which the FF team under Kitase, going all the way back to the Super Nintendo, has done for every system

    But the White Engine only uses 4 out of the 6 SPUs. So I assume that technically speaking, it is impossible for FFXIII to max out the PS3. Even though I dont really know what SPUs are.

But on this January night, at this defining moment in history, you have done what the cynics said we couldn't do." - Barack Obama.
