Bullshots? But Nomura said that those screens were captured from the game running on the PS3 and that the game currently looks like that... and he also said they will improve the graphics even further! They can't be bullshots if he said that :S Unless he lied and the final game won't even look as good as in those scans?

By the way, the game doesn't look like a graphics king... but I can't judge very well by looking at some crappy scans :P It would be way better if we had screenshots instead.

You owe me a new sarcasm detector from this post; it utterly broke mine.

Anyway, issue at hand. I don't care where it falls for graphics, I care more about what Square-Enix forgot a few years ago- how to make a game. These last couple of years have basically seen discs made for powerful systems, made with the mindset that "Make it look pretty; we'll slap the words 'Final Fantasy' onto it, and enough suckers will gobble it up!" They seem to have a team or 2 left that still knows how to make a game, but those releases are marginalized, as they're harder to market than the "Ooh, look at our pretty picture Final Fantasy!" games.

It pains me to see the company in this place; way back when, both Squaresoft and Enix meant quality games I would buy on name alone. Now they get extra scrutiny, and rarely bought by me. Ah well, I can thank them for letting me find my new favorite companies... who know that graphics don't need to be king- gameplay does.

honestly, i think we're going to have more than 1 graphic king. i mean ofcoz ffv13 is going to look amazing, samething can be said for GT5, and KZ3 etc. All those are graphic kings to me. If there was a poll up i'll vote for each of them.

Cant see anything yet from the blurred scans, for me the new Graphic King would be Ninokuni PS3. Probably should freeze myself until the launch, the wait is too painful.
