The new concept screenshot is a real-time in-game render!

This.

Off course it may have been taken directly from the game, still, it is photoshop'd for sure and not just a little...

One of the BG nerds analyzed the picture for photoshopping, and found only the UI elements with any type of compression.

So... no. The actual game scene is not photoshopped.

Tonkra, Yoshi-p said in a interview he thinks the game is far too realistic for a Final Fantasy game, he plans to take out a lot of the realism and add more fantasy, like the crystal tower for example.

This game isn't called Final Reality XIV.

That's something I have always said about this game. That is good to know.

How does it not look fantasy? you have the Chocobo fighting along side a Paladin and mages against a great evil fantastic monster called a Chimera.... How??? Oh and the fact the Sword looks like it is Icebrand or something with magical power on it? and the ghost and the Imp in it? ya those are not fantasy and only Western realism lore... Got ya no fantasy here folks move along...

It has a bit of "Dark Souls" style.. in my eyes. That's not positive for this game, because it already has a special atmosphere right now. But we need more SS.

Right, because the entire Western canon of games, movies and literature hasn't contributed anything to fan... tasy... uh, whoops.

It looks excellent as concept art, if that's a real screenshot then Its terrible, looks plain awful.

What makes it terrible as an in-game screenshot? Just curious.
My take is that it is an in-game screenshot, but also that it's in an early phase. As the game in the new engine is far from finished.
