Yeah, as I said. I'm sure there will be a HD Ivalice game this gen otherwise they wouldn't be testing Rabanastre on Unreal Engine 3 with the crowds of Assassin's Creed. The team that made The Last Remnant have experience with Unreal Engine 3 so I'm sure they'll be the ones to make the HD Ivalice game.

I don't think the HD Ivalice test is any indication that there will be anything Ivalice related coming out of it.  If we'd apply your logic, then we should have had a polygonal version of FF VI back during the PSX era, a fully polygonal version of FF VIII on PS2, and we should be getting a remake of FF VII on the PS3 any time now.

I don't think you should get your hopes up for an Ivalice game this gen, and especially not based on that "Rabanastre test".  For all we know, this is nothing more than the team testing the Unreal technology, the same way they tested the tech available to them with the other era's tech demos.

OK, I've just had a realisation, the tech demo videos you mention were each shown before the console they were for had been released. Minagawa showing a video of Rabanastre on Unreal Engine 3 happened way after this gen had started, which means it's leading to a project for release this gen, IMO.
