In-game screenshots of Final Fantasy Versus XIII?

Among the images in the earlier posted Famitsu Scans are supposedly real-time in game images of Final Fantasy Versus XIII.

[Xeikon]

If thats in game..... OMFG!!!!

[Mr_Kuwabara]

OMFG indeed.

[decapitator]

Yeah that's what I said to. When it comes to this stuff, no one beat SE. This game is looking very impressive. Am more hyped about FXII Versus though. The character designs are of this world.

[Anego Montoya FTMFW]

that`s NOT the REAL mighty.

the REAL mighty is Mighty_Douche.

but yes, fake mighty.

this is 100% in game.

VERY VERY nice find Counter Act.

this POSITIVE ps3 train keeps on ROLLIN!

@mighty(below)

WTF!

that`s wierd.

that suck has i had you/ the fake one, ignored.

i`ll unignore this one for a bit, let me know when you get YOURS back.

[Xeikon]

dude, its the real mighty.

for some reason my _ isnt showing? dont know why. buts its me!

[Mr_Kuwabara]

EDIT: Wow then that really sucks dude. I take back what I said before.

[Xeikon]

guys its the REAL MD, check the picture here, its got the --> _ <-- but its the fake accounts score/rank etc...? its starting to pi55 me off..

EDIT... for f*ck sake, now i cant upload images either.... this site is getting old very fast....

[f7ss1]

jeez thats pretty sharp lookin

[SoulReaper]

I can only see it looking more incredible amazing when it comes near its completion..

[zambrota]

with devs like SQUARE you cant have any confusions

[Frances-the-Mute]

the game is looking gorgeous AND the developers aren't even done

:)

[solidt12]

The ingame graphics look great. They really are stepping it up on FFXIII.

[JsonHenry]

Those screen shots made me wish I liked JRPGs. But no matter how pretty the game I just can't get into it. : (

I will try anyway. Who knows, this one could be the one to make me jump on the bandwagon.

[SIlent Sackboy]

That's the fake MD.
Take his bubbles.

[Baba1906]

i believe it =D sqaure is the king of RPG =D

[mesh1]

hahahahahahaha u make me laugh every clip of final fantasy clips + screens they have shown is fmv none in igname FACT

[playinitcool]

defensive much?

[OgTheClever]

And so it begins...

[CaliGamer]

Looks very nice indeed, with they had more screens but I guess I have to wait like everyone else. I bet many are really happy they got a PS3 now.

[blacsheep]

how a next-gen rpg should look!

does it look that way? who knows for certain ill wait for concrete proof personally.

[nanometric]

cuz now it will be such a torture to wait till it ships ;(

[jwatt]

Wow I saw these screen somewhere else but I didn't think they were in-game screenshots. It's looking very good for both Final fantasies.

[Lord Cheese]

ok - dumb question - whats the diff between FFXIII and FFXIII versus? Its completely passed me by...

[decapitator]

Not a dumb question at at all friend. I am curious to know what Versus is as well as I more interested in that game because of the character designs.

[Xeikon]

dont know if anyone really knows... but, from what i can gather, Versus is more action based, no turn based fighting. Personally im hoping for like a NG or god of war type game with those visuals... if thats what they deliever ill be a very happy man!

[decapitator]

yeah that'd be awesome. But Versus will probably end up been an action rpg and if it has online, which am sure it will, it will be one of the best games for many moons to come.

Whiles the main FXIII game focuses on the single players aspect of the game with a strong story to back it up.

[OgTheClever]

that versus XII will have a gameplay style that is similar to Kingdom Hearts, but will be much more realistic i.e. movement and physics.

[decapitator]

You might be right. Versus is been handled by the same team that make the Kingdom Heart games.

[Raupet]

FFXIII = the "main FF" a.k.a ffvii/x and so on. The story (as far as we know) is about Lightning as a rebel leader going against the upperclass in the country. What's cool about the setting from what I've read is that there's even more a mix of medival and high tech than usually whereas the cocoon (high status society is what we've seen from the trailer) and then there's a low status society which is supposed to be something that equals medival peons both tech and lifestyle. So imo this setting is bound to be interesting. ^^

http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...

FF Versus XIII (not xiii versus :P) is a darker more action based FF where the designers has been told to watch asian fighting movies and advent children for how the battles should feel. I know the director also has talked about wanting the high-intense feeling over the shoulder shooters get. In Versus you play (if I'm not mistaking) a king or prince of a fallen empire which is under siege I guess. Anyways we'll find out more in the coming months ^^

http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...

BTW: Versus xiii and xiii is in the same universe but not nessecarily at the same time, or in the same age even. The things they have in common is the setting which include world/nations/flora and fauna I assume.

I think that's about what's know atm, but please correct me if I'm wrong :)

[no_more_heroes]

but I think I heard that it was supposed to be an action RPG instead of turn-based. The Kingdom Hearts dev team are making it, which probably means no real KH3 until 2009 or even later. I'm very, very sad.

[liquidsnake]

Im not going to have any hopes up, couse those "in-game" pictures looks too good to be true.

[Genki]

I won't believe it until I hear it directly, and I mean distinctly from the horses mouth. No he said, she said, edited, misinterpreted video crap like what happened with the Killzone/Resistance debacle back in '05.

I want to see a screenshot held in an SE reps face or said rep demo a video of this quality, be DIRECTLY ASKED if this is in game, and I want a straight answer.

Let's not kid ourselves here, people, Square has been selling their games on FMV for a long time now. I remember the FF7, 8, and 9 commercials ALL being strictly FMV sequences(can't remember seeing a television ad for X). This has been their MO since the PS1, so excuse me if I seem a little guarded.

Only reason is I'm not gonna let myself be the umpteenth fool to get caught up in the hype and disappointed when the final product is nowhere near.

BUT...BUT(that means listen fanboys before you lash out), nothing would make me happier than to find out that these are real. Unfortunately, no official direct comment has been given by a square rep, so I'm waiting for that before I start to get excited. This stuff looks great though.

[Xeikon]

totally agree... i dont think any article with a question mark in the headline should be taken to seriously.

EDIT @ Counter_ACT, i know, im not suggestting it shouldnt be posted here, i think it should, just suggestting that people should limit there excitment untill its confirmed.

thanks for posting!

[Counter_ACT]

Well if you read the article it does say its rumor for now and unconfirmed. It's also filed under rumors so...

[Anego Montoya FTMFW]

but use your EYES.

that 100% in game.

first of all in NOT a fanboy, i had 2 360s at one time.

second, your right IT`s NOT confirmed.

but, looking at it.

it doesn`t seem that unrealistic.

[Genki]

but my point is that I won't ASSUME anything until I hear it from the horse's mouth.

If this were any other developer I'd believe it, but Square is VERY liberal in their use and ADVERTISEMENT of FMV.

Like I said, I'd love to believe it, but I'm not getting my hopes up. I'll be pleasantly surprised when it's confirmed, and believe me I'll jump for joy FIFTY times right along side you, but for now, I'll take a small dose of apathy.

[poos3]

i agree with you 100% people like to set them self up for a disappointment and anego is the biggest fool on this site but hey if it turns out to be ingame footage which i doubt good on the ps3

[coolfool]

The article says that there is a loss of detail between the "ingame" shots and their CGI counterparts. Could this loss of detail not just be attributed to the fact that the "ingame" shots are actually just lower quality pictures than the CGI pictures and not because they are the in-game engine? Just a point to reason that these might not be in-game shots.

I love the fact that we are at a graphical stage now where we can actually debate whether picturs are in-game or not.

I for one would love this to be in-game but I will also wait and see....

[Maldread]

I would wait for an official statement too, but here`s hoping it will look this good ;)

[Genki]

I'll be the first one to jump for joy is this is confirmed...I love this series and have since the PS1 days. I admit I'm not quite as salty about Final Fantasy as some are(NES, SNES days), but I got my vintage FF with emulators. :)

Anyway, I'm with you, here's to hoping.

[solidt12]

I understand what your saying but it looks ingame to me. I see a difference between the cg pic and the ingame one.

[Maldread]

Yeah me too. It started with FF7 for me (my favorite) and has just kept on going. I didn`t make it far into FF12, as it has to hard for me hehe. I still liked it though, just to be clear ;)

[roybatty]

Both games will rock. Square always hit em out the park.

[CRIMS0N_W0LF]

*orgasm*

[Bastard 360]

There console is not capable of producing a game of this quality, does anyone remember the Mart poor boy he was a greedy little so and so, he was so excited about the PS3 comming out but he was also inpatient ; and hearing the delay he got a Xbox 360 and now can't afford a PS3 because he spends so much money on sh!te (Xbox 360 related garbage). Funny story indeed so no he pretends he hates Sony, but has MS Xbox 360 ever produced a game of this quality, i think not, yous guys thought when Square Enix was gonna support Xbox 360 yous would get this game but no you got Magna Carta 2 instaed lol, sorry to dissapoint you greedy Xbox 360 fanboys but your console is weak and can't run this game hahahaha ahahahahhahahahah ahahahahah ahhahahaha ahahahahhaha.

[Genki]

You single console zealots really are a dying breed. Nobody is listening to the dumb crap you spout anymore, but yet and still...there you are to antagonize the other crowd when UNPROVOKED. Many of us own one console, but you don't HAVE to hate another one. The very principal alone is foolish. We're not warring nations in a conflict, this isn't a family feud, it's VIDEO GAMES.

Just let this garbage die, PLEASE. Even if you have to own one console for the rest of your days, there are more than enough great titles hitting both soon enough to make this crap unnecessary. Love your machine? Great, well then GO PLAY IT.

[mistertwoturbo]

I very much love my PS3 and enjoy my 360 occaisionally. But seriously, this had nothing to do with the 360 at all! Let the 360 retards be 360 retards, you are just stooping down to they're level.

[Exhaust]

Bastard you are exactly that. You are a fatherless fanboy douche.

[Bastard 360]

You were one of the pro Xbox 360 pricks who was trying to give Sony hell last year you hypocrite, well all i can say is get what you give, nows your turn to recieve crap.

[Bebedora]

If those two were CGI FMVs I'd be disappointed on SE. I think they are in-game, but it seems like they are doing a 'special move' so it might be scripted and as such, enhanced looking visually.

[azzam]

...

[CrazzyMan]

PS3 brings NEXTGEN! =)
FFXIII FTW! PS3 FTW! =))

p.s. more over, i think some cut scenes are ingame too. =)
but it`s hard to tell.. =]]

[kingboy]

Looks very much like it..sweeeet!!

[KDash]

no doubt. FF XII looked great on PS2, but this one will rock the whole market...

[jcgamer]

:)

[poos3]

are u that desperate to have people on the psn ? hahaha is there no 1 there ?

[Bubble Buddy]

Naw it's just that almost all of my friends have lives unlike me =P

[Bebedora]

Hey. This is living.

@poos3 : First funny comment I've read from you. Thanks for the laugh.

[HarryEtTubMan]

lololo what a jealous douche. O yea there aren't millions of people already on the ONE YEAR OLD PSN *wink wink*

COD4 is about to be a 2 million seller hhahahahahahhahahahah

Assassins Creed is about to be a 2 million seller hahahahhahahah

Uncharted has broke one million hahahahahhaa

all THE PS3 games are always full u joke of a XBOT... because there are millions on the PSN too...Sony announced MONTHS ago there were 5.5 million users on PSN... Wait lets pretend there are still only 3 million PSN users(the same as 7 or 8 months ago) to make u feel better and like there aren't millions of people already on PSN and loving playing free online gaming with dedicated servers.

This year comes In game XMB, Playstation Home( which Microsoft will probally try to copy), downloadable movies ad music and guess what douche wad???? I will download ALL OF THIS... for FREE. FOR FREE. FOR FREE.

Get over ur delusional fantasies, kid. ALOT of people already have a PS3 and use it online.. More than 6 million by now. Sony said they will have sold 11 million by March. You think only 5 million us THE FREE ONLINE GAMING???????????????????????? ????/LLLLLLLLLMMMMMMMMMMMAAAAAA AAAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Owned.

[AIZEN SOZUKE]

uses 4 of cells 9 processors to render cgi qualtity visuals in realtime, its not anything hard to believe if you have seen wardevil, and thats realtime.

note:sony uses cell to make movies in sony pictures studios

[Says you]

I don't know what else it could be.

[Doctor Strange]

You can see a bit of difference between the screenshots in questions and the rest of the scans, I believe these are in-game.

Should we really be surprised, like I've said many times before this is Square-Enix, you can't deny they always have some the best graphics around, almost every Final Fantasy is proof of that.

[THE_JUDGE]

of the games and probably never will be but visually those are stunning. I would like to see more but I doubt I'll be playing it.

[jonboi24]

wow square-enix really knows how to push the capabilities of new hardware. *stands up and applause*. seriously, considering if that is real in-game and considering that this game is still in the early parts of development the graphics will only get better. square-enix has proven once again that they are the kings. so ladies and gentle bow down to the kings of kings, square-enix.

[AIZEN SOZUKE]

truth LOL

[OgTheClever]

Sorry, that was me. I was going to agree with you but my finger slipped due to my annoying laptop touchpad.

Here, have an bubble for your trouble.

(EDIT) I'm new to this. I didn't know that more than 1 person has to vote for bubbles to increase.

[iNcRiMiNaTi]

i heard that SE licensed unreal engine 3 for one of their games but i dont know which one it is.

[edit] whats with the disagree? its true tho. 4 people already said they used it on one of the games.

[Doctor Strange]

This is the White Engine. Unreal is for Last Remnant for the PS3/360

[Darkiewonder]

IDK about this anymore. There's a GDC article saying now they have a NEW engine for FFXIII. unless by their definition of new. White Engine on Steroids, no clue now.

[f7ss1]

that was "the last remnant" and thats gonna be on 360/ps3

[lonestarmt]

they got it for last remnat the game on 360 and ps3. This is white engine designed just for ps3 :)

[iNcRiMiNaTi]

so many SE games i cant remember them all. theres also like 3 different FFs coming out on ps3. so im guessing all PS3 SE games use the white engine and whatever multiplat game they make uses UE3? so that means that infinite undiscovery uses UE3. so confusing

[lonestarmt]

Whats with the disargees? were all right!! must be some xbot who doesn't believe or like that last remnat is on ps3 as well. lol.

[jams_shop]

OMFG!!!

[n_n]

i have faith in SE... they always use a lot of a platforms potential... these games are gonna blow us away

[TruthBTold]

I would love to have this game at the end of the year but for some reason I feel its gonna be out later than that, but man when it comes its gonna be insane, this game truly seems to be a big step in next gen gaming

[vloeistof]

i need this so badly

[Kain81]

will set new standarts to Gaming, specialy for RPGs

[stuntman_mike]

i really cant wait for these games, every screen shot i see gets me hyped up.
and honestly i dont think the graphics for these games are gonna suck them screen shots are probably in game, most probably a summon or magic sequence.

[SoulReaper]

We probaly going to see some more of this game and GDC...Lets hope it comes out late 2008 or early 2009...

[midgard229]

not only is it made by the Kingdom hearts team but it doesnt have disney characters! lol but besides that, wow this game is gorgeous, sorry but 360 cant get visuals like this, best they will get with an rpg is prbly lost oddesy, and that just looks like a really really good ps2 game, no offesne great game still lol. but wow

this is one of the reasons i got the ps3 :D sick of all the shooters 360 is gettin lol

[ygxbrayzie]

dammm This is BEAUTY!

[info]

this will be real time when you will be controlling it. At the moment all of what you`ve seen is FMV children advent style. It looks beautiful and all but it ain`t the game.
I do not recall Square having amazing RT graphic engines in the FF series showing real time graphics. Does FF7 match up GOW2 graphics in the real time department?

[Xanatos]

Every FF has had great RT graphics compared to the games released around the same time. Also how can you me stupid enough to compare God of War 2 a ps2 game released at the ps2s peak with FF7 a ps1 game released when the ps1 was relatively new.

[Diugu]

You can't compare a ps1 game with GOW..

[n_n]

are you from this planet? Squenix has ALWAYS released a great FF game for every new generation that was released using a LOT of that platforms power. the did it with FF7-9 on PS1 and FFX-XII on PS2. You can always count on SE to deliver... they always do, especially in the graphics department.

[DJ]

I do have total faith in Square though, since they are using Advent Children as a visual/animation guide. Hopefully the ornaments, hair, and clothes all have decked out physics interactions.

[Bebedora]

I must say the two shots must be in-game of some sort. No, not rendered cutscenes. This is a scene from when they do a, lets say 'overdrive' or 'limit' attack. I can't see it otherways unless someone tells it differently (in a sensible way).

I think SE is the best I have encountered as a game maker, using a platform for graphics in a larger scale to it or sequences in battles, and show sceneries of landscapes/big areas in detail never seen before on that same platform (PS2). I have no doubt they can make this in-game.

As I said earlier if this indeed is not, then I am disappointed with regard to their lack of detail in the CGI department. They usually do excell exeptionally well in that.

[achira]

the screens look fantastic. i hope the game will look the same. i am almost sure this are in game. awesome!

[Ps3ShellShock]

we've all seen the CGI clips of FF13. we've also seen gameplay in the trailer of lighting...these screenshots arent CGI thats 4 sure...therefore it must be in-game...chances of in-game is a big possiblity and lets just say this is gameplay because i dont see this being CGI...then this is gonna be one gorgeous looking game...

mesh1 - ur one sad kid...MS should hire u honestly

[Star51]

the shot has is gorgeous & it has less polish than some of the CG we've been seeing. No doubt this is in-game! Woot!

[timmyp53]

looking forward to this and XIII equally.

[INehalemEXI]

O.O awwwwe sh1t F--- Folgers. FFXIII news is the best part of waking up.

[Rims]

PS Tripple ftw.

[OpiZA]

I'll wait for a cleaner source than this. All the artifacts masks any logical approach 2 decide whether it's ingame or not. I hope it is though.

[Tyrael]

very nice!!!! great success!!!

[pshizle]

looks like ps2 graphix

[Bebedora]

OMFG!!!1!!!eleven!!
Your pick looks like PS2 graphics.

@below: Thanks.

[games4fun]

ps2 graphix are better than 360's see anyone can post irrelevant completely wrong biased crap

the sword he is carrying has more detail than a whole 360 game
welcome

[GITPWNED]

No doubt this game will look good. Can't wait.

[heyheyhey]

.... but you don't have a ps3 and i thought you didn't like Japanese games?

[Sevir04]

i think 2 things could have happened, 1. somewhere in the corner of his xbox mind still believes that this game is still not a PS3 exclusive and is on it's way to the 360. or 2 the game is just awesome and he simply cant deny that it looks great, thus confirming how powerful the PS3 is.

i think it's the second because his comment doesn sound like it's whet with fankid banter and typical behavior.

[GITPWNED]

LOL, stupid fanboys. I already told most of you that I'm getting a PS3rd for God of War 3. What kind of gamer doesn't play God of War??? Now u can GITPWNED!!!! HAHAHAHAhahahAHAHA

[Beren]

I don't see why all the fighting for some screens this is Square (and i believe that a lot of us knows what this means)...well i am used to see awesome stuff from them. And those screens the 1st 2 are in game for me, even the effect (circular aura)tells that is an ingame shoot, for a CGI Square would never use such effect at that rendering scale, the diff between the 1st 2 screenies and the CGI ones is .. well lets say really noticeable :3

I love FF (yes i am drooling here) and i would like that the nonsense of consoles could stop. At the end we all are gamers, don't we? then lets stay togheter no matter the plataform we choose Peace and love for all =:3

[ichimaru]

GAME LOOKS GEORGOUS. nuff said. great job SE

[Rice]

physical and visual orgasm.

[Suki03]

I can't wait for white knight story (I love you Level-5) and this one. Hopefully both will be out this year ! Looking forward to real-time RPG. I was looking forward to the Lost Odyssey until I heard that it's UE3... and plus people said that the novel which this story is based off of is better than the game itself.

No good RPG until the end of the year..... GRRRR

[SYSTEMS-at-WAR]

It looks amazing! I can't wait until more information and some trailers are released (new ones). What do you expect from SE!

[mintaro]

OMG!! is that really in game? wow.....
Btw is FFXIII using the white engine?

[Beren]

Yes both FFXIII uses the white engine :3
Here is the Wiki for the White engine just in case:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...
=:3

[mintaro]

thanks for the info =)

[Gaara_724]

the girl looks so real i could have sex with her and not think umm she is fake u do know that lol aw ka wait for this game only 1 year plus to go who hoo lol

[xionpunk]

Looks great. Not surprising considering what they were able to accomplish
with the PS2 hardware.

[HardcoreGamer]

this is why i also bought a ps3, FRIGGIN YEH,

just 2 images made me cack myself

[Beren]

LOL :P then look here(mabe you missed them):
http://finalfantasyversusxi...
Are 13 full scans in high res =:3
Enjoy!!!

[sonyfanonly]

FF ALL THE WAY BABY

[666 Death Valley]

HELL YEAH!!!!!

[supnub5]

right now i'm fcking fine black girl with big booty and big titties, nice curves no fat, and lookin at the pics gettin the enjoyment out of both.

[J@D]

Look impressive indeed S-E is a monster on those arts.

[Super_Sharp Sharpee]

looks to be the game of this generation!!! PS3 FTW!!

-sry 360 no cake for you

[Gazman]

Nice very Freaking nice

[chrno6]

A game that utilize the true power of the ps3.

[Exia]

ZOMG I really hope that this is ingame because if it is, then I will definitely purchase a PS3!!!!

[lodossrage]

Oh, in case anybody is confused, that's a compliment of the highest order lol

[cartman313]

I'm in love...

[Rybnik]

If these are really in-game...AWESOME SQUARED!!!!

I think I am finally more hyped on this compared to "regular" XIII as many others seem to be as well. We finally have new info, character stuff, story. I think I have a better impression of Versus, lol.

[The Milkman]

Im def going to have to get this. I never have yet beat a Final fantasy game, except the one for DS I guess you could say. But man this game looks like its going to be awesome.

[tudors]

These are not impressive at all..."wow this game is gorgeous, sorry but 360 cant get visuals like this" Wrong mate. see pics.

http://www.n4g.com/M/8/Imag... (FF)
http://a248.e.akamai.net/f/... (Mass effect)
http://image.com.com/gamesp... Odyssey Screenshots)

What are you guys on.

[Diugu]

Oh.. the stupidity of some people.

I am not going to say that xbox cannot run such graphics, maybe it can, maybe it cant, but Mass Effect (Great game, I loved it) does not have better graphics than this. And LO is an upscalled PS2 game.

Also... these are ->scans<- of a game yet to be completed.

Think a little.

[tudors]

that the Xbox-360 has already surpassed those FF visuals then you truly are blinkered, the images above clearly show that the Xbox-360 has a better GPU.

[iMad]

What drives them to live with a lie in their heads.
They want to win this gen with PS3. but when this games will come they will realize that this not gonna happen.

[tudors]

but so far no response to the screenshots I posted above....this is because you know I am right.

[Kain81]

1. Mass effect has some problems Graphicaly. i would say that xbox360 is
in its Limits. Texture Popups. Framerate issues and so on.
2. Have you seen LO its an upscaled Ps2 game, with Loadtimes and Framerate Issues too.
This is all Fact.

And about FF13+versus we dont know how it will be in the end.
But this Screens shows us that there is an Incredible Potential.
Only a Xbot can refuse it

360 has reach is Limits with Mass Effect.

[tudors]

but stop with the Xbox-360 cannot handle this rubbish. There has yet to be proof on either side of the pond that the Xbox-360 and PS3 have anything the other cannot handle.

[Kain81]

wake up from your dreamland, blieve me. we will see what will be happen in the Future. But i see that PS3 will show us more than 360. This is my Opinion.

[AIZEN SOZUKE]

what you said was fact

[tudors]

"69.1 - Sorry but this is the Truth
wake up from your dreamland, blieve me. we will see what will be happen in the Future. But i see that PS3 will show us more than 360. This is my Opinion."

I'm not the one in dreamland, your the one who thinks he can see the future, I live in the here and now.
