Cartoony style graphics....

The image http://i.imgur.com/EXoQM.jpg looks pretty bad. Like a 15 year old game... I expect a Final Fantasy game released in 2012/2013 to look better than that.

I love the exaggeration on this, and by that I mean you are extremely frustrating, sir. 15 year old game? That was 1997, have any idea what games looked like back then? Obviously you don't but let me give you a hint.



A Realm Reborn isn't done yet, hell the engine isn't even done yet, I would expect someone with common sense to understand that since it's currently in Alpha stages.

Its more along the lines of, they are afraid 2010 will happen all over again.. yet Graphics wasn't even a problem. C/P assets (Majorly), Content, Server out of wack. Those things were really main issues back then.

So you say exaggeration...then you ignore the fact she was exaggerating purposefully...ok. The engine is done or that would mean there's no hope of ARR even for 2013.

Yet you replied. Really?

You're funny, nothing you say makes any sense. How would I possibly know they are exaggerating on purpose when they go on to say they expect a game in 2012 to look better? That means they have looked at the image and made a comparison to games in 2012 and games throughout the last two decades to best match it with games from 1997.

Also, Yoshida has said many times that the engine isn't done, that doesn't mean that the engine is non-existant just that they have much more work to do. The engine still needs to be optimized, shaders implemented, and who knows what else they have to do. Re-purposing the core of the Luminous Studio engine isn't a small feat, they graphics are going to improve as we near release for both PC and PS3. And even then the engine is very scaleable with graphics that can improve beyond what we are seeing now, however as I said the Luminous Studio engine is still a work in progress.

I know a lot the framework is based off the luminous engine but didnt they say they have only taken parts of it?

The shaders are going to really help the clothes/armors (if they are missing, assuming they are since its noticeable).

Yoshida's exact words you could think of them as siblings due to borrowing of features in a sense.
