Breaking down some of the screenshots

Anyone else notice the Sun/Moon symbols around the minimap? I believe they move! The sun is in a different spot in these two pics:

Yes.. Yes!! Nice find.. I didn't notice that!! Yoshi-P you sneaky little . I love you Yoshi-p! He understands this logic.. its the small things the matter the most! Just like the Delivery Moogle and the Chat bubble thing! thats makes this feel like FF! .

Not sure if anyone has mentioned it in the last 15 pages, but there is no buff icon for "Light Party". Maybe it is being condensed to everyone getting the innate buff, no buff at all, or simply not displaying the icon anymore. I think its worth mentioning that the BLM, in a "Light Party" has about 200 more HP than the average 'Full Party" BLM.

Would you guys rather the graphics stay as they are right now and keep this busted ass engine?

They said the game would look different once the new graphical engine was in place, deal with it. That's a major reason why we're going to be able to recreate our characters in 2.0. Honestly if you thought the game would look exactly the same dispite them openly saying it wouldn't, then you're not the sharpest tool in the shed.

It's not our fault the textures are crappy, though. Don't blame us!

Wait and see huh ? You and Ingolf make a good duo. Both stating to be objective, while you're just being provocative, delisory and unwilling to listen any different opinion.
I should soon use my blacklist

They openly said that the graphics would be worse?

They heavily implied it. They specifically mentioned that character models' hair would look "different", which to me means that they're reducing the complexity/poly count.

The build you are looking at there is an Alpha build. Make of that what you will sir. No clue if the screenshots are on a platform or PC. Also the article I got this info from says they are watching it on a laptop. I am not sure if the screen shots that were given are from the same source but they could be.

This runing on a laptop could be close to what ps3 specs would be no?

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