I'm pretty sure we all know that interactive cutscenes mean either quick time events or you can walk around lol. If it's just gameplay well then it's not a cutscene is it.

I like the fact that the same studio is now ALSO doing the FFX remake. I guess they were working too fast on FF Versus XIII?I mean I thought the studio handling FFV13 are basically the A-team. The highest order studio. Well in that case why do you need them for a remake? The games already there, it just needs tarting up.

I still maintain that this game could have the same problem as FF12 where it is hugely under-appreciated. I mean if it doesn't make it out this year well then we have the Wii U, so already there is more powerful hardware out with better graphics. If it doesn't make it out early next year then suddenly we have the Xbox next and possibly PS4. We all know that graphics help draw attention to a game and that when new hardware is out a reasonable amount of focus switches to the games on that platform. It risks getting lost in the launch hype for other consoles. Not to mention that after 6 years of being announced.... well hype kinda grows thin.

Turkish says and I'm allowed to quote that: Uncharted 3 and God Of War 3 look better than Unreal Engine 4 games will or the tech demo does. Also the Naughty Dog PS3 ENGINE PLAYS better than the UE4 ENGINE.

I love cutscenes. This is great news!
I still think a 2012 release in Japan isn't out of the question.

the gameplay in the last trailer was very interesting. i like the action rpg aproach. it has to be either full action rpg or full turn based.

the thing that bothered me in the ffxiii-2 demo was how it felt like it was supposed to play faster so it felt frustrating when you didnt start with the haste advantage. i dont know if that gets better in the full version but i cant imagine how slow it will feel with 5 or 6 atb slots.

Well, at least in FFXIII the time to complete the ATb bar is always the same. That means that when you have 6 atb, each atb completes very fast.

I'll never understand why people lose their shit over this game or over anything SE in general. It's obvious they care far more about cut scenes than any actual game.

The times of the traditional RPG that tells the story through detailed cut scenes is pretty much over. We're at a point now where games let you actually do the fantastical things they do in the cut scenes but can't do in the actual game but SE just stubbornly refuses to move on. Instead they announce a game with a CG trailer and then sit on it for five years.

Where have I heard this before?

I love cutscenes too, the more CGI the better, that is if Square Enix mean pre-rendered as in CGI pre-rendered. Hopefully the story will be able to match the visual presentation.

As for people complaining about Versus XIII taking forever to release, it's not a matter of Square Enix having slow production cycles, they got their act together after FFXIII. The problem is that Versus XIII keeps getting shunned for Square Enix's new announcements like FFXIII-2 and FFX HD. Now that XIII-2 is out the door, production should have sped up a lot. I'm hoping it will be revealed at E3 as Final Fantasy XV, there are too many games under the XIII name. If it is revealed as FFXV then FF this generation will be almost identical to FF last generation.

The trailer released in January looks promising and shows a lot of progress, looking forward to it.

This is not the right sort of information to be telling people. FF13's biggest problem was the amount of time they spent making cutscenes rather than focusing on the quality of those cutscenes and the quality of the gameplay.

The cut-scenes are made by different people inside of S-E. FF XIII's biggest problem wasn't the amount of time they spent on those, but how long it took them to create their graphics engine. By the time they were done with creating their engine, most CGI cut-scenes were already done. ¬_¬

Yes!, I like pre-rendered cutscenes... the ones that don't look exactly like the game though :P. I thought the last CGI cutscenes they showed in the last trailer that also had gameplay looked pretty awesome :) I love the one where Noctis is in the backseat of his car... when they show the outside, damn... it looks so good :O

Maybe someday we'll have graphics like that...

someday...
