Breaking down some of the screenshots

[Ingolf]

The build you are looking at there is an Alpha build. Make of that what you will sir.

That is true. It's most likely running on the PS3 anyhow.

THANK YOU <3333

Seriously good job. Now some will probably say that doesn't prove that this is the case with these new screenshots, but it's enough for me to atleast have alittle faith.

I agree. Thank you Skies.

We need to set that comment into some signatures because people will still b**ch and moan

Think of this. Yoshi is at E3 , it would make sense since they arent doing a HUGE presentation on this (that we know of yet) that they just bring what they have on a laptop. If thats the case (which i am not saying it IS, just saying COULD be) thats awesome.

That you could run this on a laptop and have it look like that would be kick ass. It would prob also be close to what the ps3 specs run at I would think.

Here's comment:

You’ve never seen Final Fantasy like this before. Today at the Electronic Entertainment Expo, producer and director of Final Fantasy XIV, Naoki Yoshida, took us through a quick demonstration running live on a laptop in the Square-Enix booth.

Now if this is ligit, the screens everyone got could be from the same place this guy saw them at. I am sure we will know in a day or 2! Again, I am not saying this is 100% ligit, only saying that this article leads me to believe it could be possible.

Think of this. If Yoshi was going to E3 or sending someone to E3 for him , it would make sense since they arent doing a HUGE presentation on this (that we know of yet) that they just bring what they have on a laptop.

They sent the PR shots out in a devkit to various sites, Yoshida doesn't even need to be at E3 to release them :P. If anything he would bring a pretty damn good laptop for demonstrations as the image is going to get blown up on a large screen. But I digress I have yet to see one in game shot of this game from a PR stand point that has ever shown all the 'bells and whistles' of the game engine. The closest we have gotten are concept images which used the real models from the game but not actually implemented into it. (like those images of Lancer/Culinary when the FFXIV website first went live in 2009). Its funny, because I remember the FFXI images being displayed in bullshot form around the time the PC version came out XD.

Not saying he does, but since I am pretty sure he is there, its possible he sent them from there while giving a demo or getting ready. It will be nice when we get an official press release on the matter and we can all move on with our lives with this issue. Still happy with it all if those shots are on max settings so i suppose it makes little difference in the end.

I said that? Please quote where I said that. Apparently I have poltergeists in my keyboard.

just to say, i used an hyperbole. don't mean you write that, but that's the message it came

skies did for you. Thanks skies

also ikea, miracle patch exist only in player mind, not in dev tracker. And so, their work count more than ours when responding to infos

That was exactly my point, you saying that it existed in the dev tracker doesn't prove that it actually does exists there. Just as people saying a miracle patch was _confirmed_ for release didn't prove that it was actually confirmed. But this doesn't matter now that skies has posted it, because now it's really proven that it exists.

So.... I really want to see the game in motion now, cause I think that'll look awesome.
