They actually said that? O_O Too much work? For such a big profile game, that's had like a gazillion Yen budget and such a long development cycle? Wow.

Well.. yeah.

I guess they didn't want to spend a gazillon more yen and have a longer development cycle making a number of FF12 like towns in HD.

That would be a LOT of extra modeling for little good.

HD graphics have it's negatives as well as it's positives... less room for friveloty is one. Just be glad we aren't back in the NES era games... where all the monsters were the same 8 monsters repainted.

What the fuck is this? Star Ocean: The Last Hope had epicly HUGE towns, and its not as popular or as known as Final Fantasy, no excuse, bottom line... _______

It also looks a lot less nice. You don't see the correlation there?

All a matter of opinion. i feel it's just slightly below FFXIII as far as graphics go, besides overall content > graphics.

Most people do like towns...perhaps it takes away from too much of the plot in a memory hungry game.....go 360!

Mass Effect has some of the best towns i've seen in a HD game. In fact, the only game i can think of with better towns this gen is Dragon Age Origins.
