Yeah Square likes to take the best possible features and use it represent the whole. See these FMV graphics that is the type of graphics you get for the whole game. (***in the FMVs**)

According to Square, Lightning has 30,000 polygons. So something is fishy here. I think I'll trust Square in this cases ince absolutely no credible source was given.

I think Square is talking about the CGI version and not the ingame version... I will check... anyway 8k polygons is pretty huge for RPGs.

No, that's the ingame model.

Yeap... I watched the video... 30k triangles.

But this software count says 8,488.

Or Square Enix is saying bs or they just use a better model before the output to screen... the final model is ~8k triangles.

With the culling during gameplay it is probably 8k, when there are cut scenes they don't have to have other processes running so they can tone down the culling and up the quality. So the model itself may have more polygons the count for in games is probably a lot lower.
