Some proof of FFXIII real-timeness

All right, everyone under the sun has probably seen the new trailers for the FFXIII games, and every lemming on this forumseems to have screamed CG cutscene. Normally I would agree, it looks too good, even the scene with the HUD is sketchy... but then I remembered seeing this over a year ago:

As you can see its a Square-Enix developer manipulating a 3D Camera in what I gather from the Youtube comments (I can't honestly say what program it is) is 3D Maya. This shot of the floating city in FFXIII should look familiar, the new trailer hadthe protagonistfalling towards it near the beginning. Since this portion of the trailer appears to be realtime, at this point I'm starting to think that for the most part the FFXIII trailer is the real deal.

I call realtime, I'm sure someone will come into this thread and squash my reasoning, but personally this is far better proof than a menu toggling attacks.

No, but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be the only one to think you're just another lemming either.

To me some of them are, I didn't get into ffVIII or ffX but I liked 7 and odly enough 9.. Tommorow I'm gonna rent FFXII, (will it be good or should I skip?) oh and I thought thought FFXIII was turnbased and versus was real time?

The Zelda sig and reviewsof games on different systems totally gave it away.

Different opinions? Kill it with fire.

Suprise suprise! I'm NOT. I like Nintendo! jeez... I really do hate RPG's like FF... The ps1 was my first system!

The same was done with the Halo 3 announcement trailer. The graphics didn't turn out to be the same.

and no don't skip FFXII, i really liked it. and how could you not get into VIII or X???

IDK, I would skip 12. I bought it and I feel as though I wasted about 40$ when I could have waited until it went on sale for 20$. The story (to me) sucks, but the gameplay is pretty good.

No, but how credible are you?

If you don't like JRPGs, calling FF boring is just trolling, as you should be calling JRPGs boring. I dislike the Final Fantasy series (I thought 10 was good, though), but love Kingdom Hearts.

I probably did.

Just because I'm a sheep, doesn't mean I'm sucking Nintendo's ****..

That's ok. I know there are people that find this type of game fun.

Really? Action-RPG like Kingdom Hearts? Is it made by the same team?

A Kingdom Hearts without the Disney side crap would be amazing. Some of the Disney content was done real well, like Beauty and the Beast, Olympus Colloseum, and Peter Pan; yet some of the worlds such as Pirates of the Carribean and Lion King were painful to play they were so off from the rest of the game. They had so much potential but forced themselves to include franchises that, 75% of the time, had nothing to do with the rest of the game...

But I digress =[

FFVIII was just .... different I had to give everyone something gf (I think) or the only thing they could do is attack,

and FFX was each character was good for a certain monster.. Air type -Wakka. element- magic. kinda got repetitive.

I'm a cow and even I will say Sony did us wrong this gen. And yes this is my favorite game series and can't wait.

I like action RPG's made by square. I just get very board by turn based ones.

My all time favorit RPG/adventure game, would be Threads of Fate made by square. (I also loved Super Mario RPG).

The same was done with the Halo 3 announcement trailer. The graphics didn't turn out to be the same.

True enough, games can change radically during the course of dev. Though its just a hypothetical at this point that the same will happen to XIII.

It is?? Sweet, this games is surely on my reason to get a ps3...

Am I the only one who thinks FF games are boring?Relys

Well you would have to have played all of them, since their stories, settings, and gameplay vary "somewhat", you know? Then again, I found all of the PS2 FF's and FFVIII rather boring. But the older ones are pretty good. It's not like Halo, or GTA, or Ratchet and Clank, or Devil May Cry where the series are generally the same, except for stories and minor changes here and there. Unless JRPG's just aren't your thing.

It has just as much of a chance as looking better than it does looking worse. I was just saying that nothing is certain until you see some real builds of the game.

Threads of fate just didn't do it for me, I don't know if it was just boring or what but I didn't like it.

i call level design, not real time, not even a game, just a dev kit.LibertySaint

umm... if your saying this is being done on a dev-kit, your saying that those graphics are possible on the PS3.
