i don't believe we will huge jump in graphics next gen like we saw this gen. Nintendo proved that graphics aren't everything and im satisfied with the way games look.

The next gen might actually be the first gen that actually takes a step back or barely moves at all... (I don't think that will happen, but it's not out of the question)

the graphics for versus of cg, look the same to me compared to ff12 cgnamics, in game graphics might be better, i like to see some of those instead to judge further.

If three new consoles come out, and the next Nintendo one is about PS3 level graphics, while the other two are significantly beyond that, we'll see a whole new breed of fanboys claiming that PS3 level graphics are unplayable and no one could ever enjoy any games at that technical level.

Quoted, because you speak the truth.

 Truer words never spoken.  I do expect that the next Wii will have PS3 level graphics, though.  I DON'T expect Sony and MS to have VASTLY more powerful systems though. 

No, I wouldn't, why should I? Every generation we have had a large improvement in graphics and that should not change. I'm fine with gameplay as it is, what needs to improve are the visuals and storytelling.

Then go watch movies. There has been no improvement in game storytelling since Final Fantasy VI, largely because developers have been focusing on graphics-are-everything instead of the things that really matter to games.

Well Im OK with 2D games if they are done well... and most people are OK with sub-par Wii graphics to... so I dont see any issues ;)

 Remember this BEAUTIFUL PS1 gem?

Makes me so sad that they cancelled the series. It was supposed to be a trilogy I heard, with the first game being "Phantom Pain". This game should be revived and brought to current gen consoles since it is part of the "Ivalice Alliance".
