No thanks. They should make a new FF XIII game like Versus or Agito for the Wii, but not FF XIII. I wouldn't buy it on the Wii.

FFXIII Tactics?

look at the in game cut scenes & in game battle scene after around 3:35 min

FF12 DOES NOT stand up to it



Look at how FF13 looks in motion, not in cherry picked images

Ok... let me get this straight.

You're cherry picking a FF13 screen to a a FF12 shot running through a PC-based emulator. I'm not familiar with PCSX2, but if it's anything like Dolphin (the gc/wii emulator) games can be rendered at a higher resolution with AA, V-sync, and one hack even allowing true widescreen in games that didn't original support it.

The shot you provided for FF12 is supposed to be representative of what exactly? It is obviously rendered (NOT upscaled) at a higher much higher than native resolution with AA and other goodies.

He was talking about the fact that assets weren't changed and it still looked good, however that just proves that the assets were done really well on FFXII and stand up to being upscaled.  The real issue is, is that making things run on weaker hardware isn't as simple as some trick since these assets have to be changed, while upscaling they do not.

But I do get his point, with the work, you can get the same game on Wii since the PS2 ran a game that looked nice and can stand up to FFXIII if upscaled.

 

While I haven't used it, I want to point out that PCSX2 most likely renders games at certain resolutions, and the resolution in the FF12 comparison shot for this thread is clearly well above 720p. Rendering is not the same as upscaling. Since the Wii doesn't run games in 720p, wouldn't it be more accurate to find a 480p shot of FF12 running in an emulator and compare that to the cherry picked FF13 shot? (question directed at the OP)

Oh yeah, I should've said it's unrendered, not simply upscaled.  It's also got some (beyond PS2) filtering applied I believe.

Great, now Darth is cherry picking but in favour of FF13. That's it, i'm out of this thread.

lol.  Your own cherrypicking makes me proud.

Here's FFXII's own promotional trailer (with gameplay) for comparison...

& the point still stands

FF13 looks far far superior

& the FF13 video I posted isn't even in HD

More and more, the FFXII/FFXIII bump is reminding me of RE4/RE5...

I'm going to guess that the PC emulating FF12 is more powerful than a Wii.

The Wii currently has the largest user base of all consoles in Japan but the game's going to be released in less than a month there and it's a PS3 exclusive. If it was going to happen, there would be an announcement by now.

History has shown that Final Fantasy has always been on the most successful console of every generation. Then again, History has also shown that Final Fantasy has always been exclusive to that most successful console. Now have a 360 version of 13 for every major market that's not Japan.

Should it happen? I'm sure there are Wii owners who were ex-PS2 owners who enjoyed Final Fantasy 10, 11, and/or 12. There's also a Wii market for Final Fantasy if the Crystal Bearers and Chocobo's Dungeon are taken into consideration but it's too small to justify the effort. So finally, no.
