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

That's kind of terrible. There's a lot i hate about that screenshot. For one, I hope it's a boss fight, toherwise I see no reason to have that many people in a party. What's witht he crap around the map? Multiple toolbars? I can't see what that stuff is in the lower right. Looks very non-controller friendly, sort of like what a friend had up in wow, when he was just mashing buttons left and right. I hope it doens't look like that at all. I like the simplistic look, less is more.

Pocky, that screenshot looks near what we have now. I like the font choice, I really hope they keep it.
I'm also intrigued to see what the stuff in the bottomleft corner is.

Nice! I like your complaints because they show how good it is, even to the haters.

#1 complaint "the number of people in the party"!
#2 complaint "status icons and timers have moved closer to map"
#3 complaint "multiple toolbars"

I guess some people just aren't happy unless they are actively complaining about something... What sorry lives they must live.

I guess people keep forgetting that the point of the forums is to talk and complain so SE wont add something that we don't want.

Maybe the UI for the PS3 will be a bit different? Who knows? All I'm hoping for is to get into the PS3 Beta next year.

Looks controller friendly to me. o_o. We got freaking Matsui doing our UI, he is a the UI genius who worked on Final Fantasy Tactics. I am sure it will flow for us gamepad users.

I love how everyone thought that was just a painting or artist's rendering lol

Do you really blame us for thinking it was too good to be true?

Funny enough, the preview fight (The boat fight with the Aurelias) was stated to be real time rendering which people didn't believe it was either then the game released and we seen the cutscenes that were indeed rendered in real time (which was the whole purpose of the Crystal Tools engine lol.)

There's a marked difference between the boat cutscene and the combat therein compared with the actual boat ride and the actual game's combat and spell effects.
