Forums - Gaming - Final Fantasy real-time tech demo video showcasing Luminous engine

Looking at these screen shots, I think SE is overshooting themselves with this demo. There is no way next-gen will be able to produce visuals at this level. 4GB of RAM doesn't seem like enough to produce these visuals, let alone 8GB of RAM. When you have a screen shot like this--



--it's really hard to believe that all those hairs on his face could be rendered in real-time. It's too hard for me to believe that this is next-gen tech at work and that it will run on the PS4 or Next-Box. I'm not gonna believe it until I see it.

With a decent GPU and hardware tessellation I suspect the hair seen in your screenshot is quite doable next gen. Not sure about the RAM requirement as these look like quite high-res textures. Guess we'll see.

Looks very nice.

And no this isn't FFXV...FFXV is probably well under way already...this could become FFXVI though.



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

Dissappointed, Final Fantasy is not about graphical prowess, I and many long standing fans have been saying this for a long time. No matter how beautiful it may look, if the story and plot sucks, the whole game sucks. Sakaguchi was writing compelling and dramatic stories in his FF games. Now its about "teh CGIs"

Totally agree. I agree the demo was impressive, but it was just one long cutscene. this is the same as that FF7 tech demo they showed. all style, no substance.

i was hoping FF15 would be annouced, but no, we have to continue to endure the FNC.

i dont mind them showing a demo like this, but at least show us a game that we can play, if every developer showed tech demos it wouldnt be E3.



so $ 100 million+ games on next PS/Xbox?

yeah that will help developers



If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)

And shepherds we shall be,

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints

now this looks like real next-gen, and the screenshot above looks like real

not sure if Ps4/Xbox3 may produced these graphics but very unlikely and very expensive, and also, for a PC to produce these will cost way too much, so maybe next-next gen : P



don't mind my username, that was more than 10 years ago, I'm a different person now, amazing how people change ^_^

Final Fantasy Versus Afghanistan?



Wow, I can't wait to play their new engine.



This is difinnitely not FF, the only thing that related to it was the potion she drank out of a coca-cola bottle...and the crystal, that's it. But looked great, assuming that's this gen?



I thought the style was more true to the basis of Final Fantasy than many of the newer games. The character models especially. To be honest though, is there really only one Final Fantasy style? I don't think there is. I'd certainly rather have this than what we've been getting. Hopefully they make it for this next generation rather than the one after, even if they have to limit some of the graphical fidelity.



Guys the last question in the survey asks for addtional comments. I added in that Versus and KH3 need to be completed first with this new engine before any other game. Maybe if everyone puts that in the comment field they will start to feel the heat!!!
