Ya, the game is really early, and that's why it didn't bother me. Hell there were clipping issues everywhere; particle effects looked terrible; and the overall polygon count and texture resolution was low, but you know what? The art direction looked nice, the animation was solid, and the landscapes looked sprawling and huge. So while I understand what your saying, I think we should hold off from the "graphix sux" comments. |

The Baten Kaitos engine used pre-rendered FMV backgrounds and was only actually 3D in the quasi turn-based battle sequences (which still didn't allow player movement). This game is obviously full 3D in towns; exploring; and battles with full player interaction in all modes. It looks more like the Skies of Arcadia 3D engine combined with the FF 12 battle system, which would be a whole new engine from stuff they'd done before. Like it or not, this engine is likely to stay. As for the graphics...well, one can hope that they'll improve, though they're still far from bad right now. |

Nowhere did I say the grafix sux, I just said that for someone that has access to all the tricks the system can do and access to program down to the metal, this game doesn't seem to be taking full advantage of the systems hardware and looks more like a GC game than a Wii game. More of a mid-budget 3rd party effort than a high-budget 1st party effort. I also implied that I was reserving judgment since the game does appear to be early, but the screenshots are not making the best 1st impression for a game Nintendo showed off at E3 when they have a policy of "don't show it till its ready". |

It honestly looks like Crystal Bearers in terms of graphics (although Crystal Bearers is more polished). |
