He showed screen shots of the tools : character editor, cut scene editor, etc. Also played the same trailer as yesterday during "The art of FINAL FANTASY" session.

 So the cutscenes will be real-time?

 I don't think so. The cut scene editor uses in-game assets. They can play with the assets, animations, cameras, effects, etc, but I think at the end the goal is to render the cut scenes. Anyway I can't tell if they will be pre rendered or not since they did not specify (I think they will pre-render them to make them look better).

 Also, during yesterday's session the art director said for FFXIII they have a different team just working on cut scenes...

 It likely refers to the in-game cutscenes from FF, not the pre-rendered scenes.
