    Hmmm. Seems like a kind of stupid video, but it's FF13 so naturally it looks fucking amazing. I wonder (and doubt) if you'll be able to run around the whole of the airship because of new PS3 engine, or just little bits like in the previous FFs.

    Anyway thanks for sharing it. Can anyone translate the juicy details?

    don't think that's an airship, more like a sky city or some kind of factory facility

    but.... you sure those trailer scenes were made within that structure? wtf what kind of tools do they have to map that entire area in real time @@

    i mean i imagined white engine would be powerful, but if they could do that whole area as a single real time mapped structure and then scale in on locations for gameplay then...... that's just "omfg no way" for me at this point...

    That looks absolutely stunning... the Airship is so highly detailed too.

    Awesome.

    lol I remember The Bouncer... that was a pretty good title for a launch game, actually.

    The narrator is just describing the process by which next-generation media for games are created. He says it takes much more effort than previous generation media and goes on to describe the process of wireframing/texturing/lighting the 'giant airship' (the words of the narrator), blah blah blah. Nothing specific to FFXIII. Doesn't even say if that's a cutscene-onry model or if it's going to be a real in game map model to run around in.

    Ever played grand theft auto? The technology is nothing new.. you just cut down on detail of stuff far away.

    in case you can't tell the difference between what's shown in the video and what's used in old games like GTA and even WoW.. i boldened the key terms in my last post for ya

    by the way, SE said they are gonna show brand new footage from FF13 and FFvs13 in jump festa 07 (which is this weekend) hope it's not the ones released this past week XD

    Sequel. Penelo wouldn't be dressed that nicely if she was still a random orphan. =P

    Actually, more like a post-branch-off. Doesn't really continue the story, but the characters you play come into contact with Penelo and Vaan at some points throughout the story AFTER the fall of the Vayne's empire.
