They are all rendered "in-game".

If that hair those characters are in game, then consoles have finally achieved the kind of realism we\'ve all been waiting for.

Obviously the cut-scenes using the game engine will be a bit different [i.e. Metal Gear Solid], but it\'s obvious what parts were the actual game...and that was still f*ing amazing.

call me crazy, but FF8 was my favorite and i\'m glad to see them return to a \'futeristic\' backdrop

pic number 3 could be realtime since it have the menu on the screen.

let me just post pic 3 here too so it won\'t get confusing

The CGI rendered look a tad better than realtime, but the difference the two is so small that i think it\'s nearly indistinguishable.

I miss a Final Fantasy with a dark atmosphere. Like 7.

I liked that one, not as good as FF7, but better than FF9.
 
 
Last one I got, was FFX, kinda went off them after that one for some reason.

of all 4 that I have played, only 3 I finished, the final boss in FF8 was by far the hardest as I recall. The boss in FF7 was a piece of piss with KOTR w-summoned & mimed. FF9 was the one I got bored with. FFX was piss poor as a final boss, once you got the aeons out of the way, it was easy to finish off.

I assume you have PS2. You do know they are backwards compatible, right?

I prefer a futuristic setting opposed to something like LOTR,  where there is no technology at all.  

FF7 and FF8 mixed fantasy and technology well,  though I believe FF7 did a better job.  

I dont ever want to see a FF like FF9 again

As for whether what\'s realtime and what\'s not,  it all looks good and blends together so well the non-hardcore couldn\'t tell,  and that\'s much better improvement then last generation where the CGI looked loads better then th actual game.

Oh,  and this game looks interesting.  A lead female character?  This could be a good twist.  As long as they dont make the entire lead cast female like X-2.  This game,  as with all future FF games,  has a chance to be as great as FF7,  but that depends on alot of things.  

A start would be getting Nobou Uematsu to do all the music

i agree...and another start would be for square to stop making these :gfight: male lead characters....clowd & squall was alright,..but after that?.....the male lead characters sucked...

well he still looked sweet, but his only saving grace was that his hair wasn\'t blond, and that scar on his face gave him a slight rough edge...quite honestly both squall & clowd got that "metrosexual" look to them,..but they are more manly than the lead characters from 10, 9 & soon to be seen 12...

From what i see, this FF doesnt look to have that turn based system from the others, if so im not going to be too happy. Looks more like action than turn based, but i could be wrong and hopefully so.
