NieR director Yoko Taro is working on a game that undeniably looks sexy in the graphical department, but it seems like too many hi-def visuals can spoil your eyes. Taro recently spoke of his personal experiences at the Tokyo Game Show, describing the various Square Enix trailers he saw and outright claiming that he found Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers "painful" to watch.

"I wanted to see the NieR video at TGS, so I watched the Square Enix booth theater continuously," explains Taro, who apparently isn't allowed to look at his own trailers. "It was looping, so after FFXIII came Crystal Bearers. To be honest, the graphics in Crystal Bearers are hard on the eyes ... Bearers' graphics are well done, I get the feeling that you could call them the highest level for Wii. However, SD graphics are just painful."

"Nintendo should use their profits to make a backwards compatible HD Wii, or release an optional upconverter for the Wii, or give the television industry money to properly handle SD video."

I find certain Wii games hard to look at, but a well-designed title can look pretty good. I personally think a lot of Nintendo's first-party games are actually quite good looking, at least for what they are. What do you think, though? Do you find Wii titles hard on the eyes, or is that a complaint for the graphic whores only?

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawn.

Really? I think its funny
Art style> how real it looks

Games are meant to be played, not watched. Sit down and play a good Wii game for 5 minutes and if you are any kind of gamer, rather than just a graphics whore dressed up as one, your eyes will get over it.

Square enix is a graphic whore.they lways want there games to look the best they can.

Sterling is on a role today of really trying to piss everyone off....

A few weeks ago it was Wada believing that Nintendo was going to release an HD system in 2009. I don't take anything Square people say regarding graphics seriously; they invested so much in HD that they only want a WiiHD so they have another system to port FFXIII to, instead of putting in the effort to make game explicitly for the Wii.

Yay, we get to discuss another thread about whether or not the Wii's graphics are enough, because ANOTHER person in the industry says something. Really.... I KNOW I will be buying Crystal Bearers, and haven't looked into Nier until today.
