Final Fantasy XIII awing SE vistors.

So this month Advent Children Complete comes out in Japan with a limited release of the Final Fantasy XIII demo along side of it. But Square Enix has been inviting critics to their office in Tokyo to get a hands on with the demo. Both the UK staff at OPM and Edge were able to attend Square Enix only having good news to report.

"-his(FFXIII producer, YoshinoriKitase) claims are difficult to refute. Final Fantasy XIII is, put simply, the best looking game on the Playstation 3 yet." - Edge

So I guess the demo has left some good first impressions. Still the game isn't completed, but considering the two recent articles from each magazine I'm guessing Square Enix isn't holding back. Check out Final Fantasy-XIII.net for additional info.

Good news. If this turns out to be true, it could be a serious reinvigoration for Square-Enix in terms of quality.

It almost pains me to hear news about this game knowing that I won't get to play it for a long time.

I would just like to say the phrase was from one person. But after it's said in the article the following paragraph goes on to describe how detail everything is from both an artistic and technical side. Not to mention both OPM and Edge were very impressed with how expressive the characters were. In OPM the writer says even though the demo was in Japanese he knew exactly what was going on simply because the body language of the characters provided by the motion-capturing was unbelieveable.

I have to be playing this by September. I really hope it's released in Japan by then.

[QUOTE="Couth_"] Probably the best to just look at. The thing about JRPGs is they can have a lot of detail because most of the stuff in the background, you can't interact withCouth_

If only this was a PS3 exclusive, i'd be having so much more fun on SW :(tirralirra

Hehe. There has been a lot of news recently regarding Final Fantasy XIII taking advantage of the PS3 CPU. Actually, the word "advantage" might be a bit stretched. Square Enix is saying the game uses a lot of processing power from the Cell. Is that a good ora bad thing. But we've only seen screenshot and footage from the game running off of a PC most of the time. But OPM and Edge saw the demo running off the PS3; and theywere stun.

We're not going to know how the Xbox 360 will handle it. Square Enix hasn't even't been thinking about the port. We can only assume how the 360 will process things.

Good for you you wish a game would flop you don't actually like final fantasy or think much of it or respect it if you did you'd want every one to experience it equally. Likely your another one of those that never heard of final fantasy before 7.

Well Final Fantasy games always were known for their great graphics... If you look at FFX when it came out it was amazing and so was FFXII a few years later... Then you look at FF9 probably one of the most beatuiful games for the PS1. It wouldn't surprise me if FF13 was one of the most beautiful games both art and tech. haris12121212
