Final Fantasy 15's Graphics Have Sure Come A Long Way: A Comparison Between Last Gen And Current Gen

Final Fantasy 15 is alive and kicking. Square Enix have released a brand new trailer for the title which showcases breathtaking vistas and graphics.

[masterfox]

the question is, if you will be able to download the demo right away ? or wait years for it lol.

[Kurisu]

It's been confirmed now to be playable in March! :D http://www.gamechup.com/fin...

[Lightning Mr Bubbles]

That dude has weird hair.

[Lightning Mr Bubbles]

It's dumb that they count the online Final Fantasy games as true installments like Final Fantasy 11 and Final Fantasy 14.

This is actually really the 13th final fantasy, not 15th, and the last two installments sucked, so I hope this is a rebound for the franchise, I think it is.

[Panthers]

FF14 is really good, and it is a very large game, but it is confusing that it has a main installment number instead of being called FF Online.

[XB1_PS4]

Looks awesome, but why do they all look like douchebags? I hope they're good characters because it's going to be another 8-10 years for a numbered FF.

[drumjod7]

I think Lightning Mr Bubbles has really shiny hair :P

True, 11 and 14 are the online only games in the series, but could you do me a huge favor and post comments like this on a forum where there is more interest in that subject?

[PLASTICA-MAN]

Not trolling or something: Look at her necklace: http://gamingbolt.com/wp-co...

A crescent moon and a star (sign of muslims), is she muslim?

[Old_Prodigy]

dated joke is still dated.

[Mankey]

Could Square actually be turning things around? I must say I'm surprised at the number of things I'm actually looking forward form them; FF XV, FF 0-Type and FF Agito. . .

We will have so see, but thus far this is looking pretty good.

And yeah its a pretty shocking how good the game looks now

[DEATHxTHExKIDx]

Bravely Second and KH3 as well. Even tho KH3 is still a fair bit away. Square does seem to be getting back on track tho.

[NatureOfLogic_]

Looking forward to the new Chaos Rings. I'm actually more excited for Bravely Second and Chaos Rings than FFXV.

[dcj0524]

Don't forget ffxiv,Deus Ex, Tomb Raider

[mochachino]

Square has been behind a number of excellent games in the past few years. Deus Ex was my GOTY, Tomb Raider was very good, FFXIV is a quality MMO.

I think gamer hate towards Square is simply abating. The company never fully fell off imo.

[Spenok]

It does seem to be fading. However a lot of the hate was over exaggerated to begin with. People have just become to damn entitled these days.

[Zeixama]

I disagree, Deus Ex and Tomb Raider are self-famed franchises. Square Enix is nothing to do with them, they didn't and they don't make these video game series. They know that gamers will buy another Tomb Raider and Deus and they funds their video game projects. Square Enix is learning from their past mistakes to make good video games again.

[ChronoJoe]

I think what bugged most fans is XIII.

It's an okay game, but compared to their previous FF titles, it's terrible. It defies everything that many have come to love about the franchise, and they made it worse by supporting the title with 3 successive iterations.

[Anarki]

Even their MMO(FF14) is actually really good. Have been playing it for about a month or 2 and the level of content they pump out for it is astounding. I'm seriously impressed with SE these days.

[killacal13]

When do you guys think this game will be released? I wasn't expecting this game that much as now, I really want this game, there are just so many things to look forward to right now!!!

[DarkOcelet]

Aside final fantasy xiii . Square actually had some really quality titles last gen and this gen they have , Deus Ex 2 , Sleeping dogs 2 , Tomb Raider 2 , Final fantasy XV , type 0 , agito , KH3 and Bravely Second .

[Hold_It]

That feel when the game looks better than Advent Children's Graphics.

[DaGR8JIBRALTAR]

Never played a FF game but I think I'll try this one.

[Xsilver]

@ermac
lol my brother said the same thing

[elninels]

Yesss. True fan. They should try movies again.

[gangsta_red]

Nothing gimped here. Looks like this game is going to put FF right back on top of the king of JRPG throne.

This game has to be good considering how many times it was rebuilt and delayed.

Let's hope...

[Agent2009]

It indeed looks promising, but watch out for that attitude - you're being a little too optimistic :-).

[weekev15]

2015 the year of the jrpg. FFXV vs Xenoblade X. Who will triumph? Us the gamers of course!!

[ZerobyZero]

You forgot Persona 5. And yes 2015 will be the year of JRPG

[weekev15]

I did forget Persona 5, all we need is Ni No Kuni 2 and we are all set. Honorouble mention to Monster Hunter 4 as well.

[mysteryraz11]

Hope its not downgraded, its looks incredible

[kowan]

It actually has when compared to the e3 2013 trailer. The trailer then had little to no aliasing but this one looks like footage taken from the console version itself which is still phenomenal looking but a bit more realistic in terms of what it'll really look like when you play it on your consoles.

[TheOneWhoIsTornApart]

The new trailer looks better than last years trailer and I can guarantee that the aliasing issue will be fixed before release. Look what they were able to do with Final Fantasy XIII's graphics. Say what you want about that game but you cannot deny it was beautiful both graphically and artistically. It ran at 1080p and had no aliasing issues whatsoever. I know that will make FFXV look even better before it is released.

[Myze]

Actually, the only thing with any real aliasing was the car, which leads me to believe it just wasn't quite finished and will be ironed out before release. It did really stand out because of this, though.

Overall, I would say quite a bit is upgraded from last years trailer, but it's a different setting and didn't show a major boss battle (Leviathan), which would obviously give more of a "wow" factor. I think the main point of this trailer was to show the open world (or at least very large open zones) and basic combat (I would venture to guess this all takes place fairly early in the game, and probably is what the demo will be about).

[Qrphe]

The E3 had terrible character models and remdering but theyve come a long way. The fact that you can see aliasing and missing shadows in some parts confirms it's running on consumer hardware.

[larrysdirtydrawss]

definitely not gonna be downgraded for the ps4,but the xone on the other hand,theres a good chance,considering the xone gpu and real world bandwidth problems... just had to add a fking camera instead of putting in a real gpu

[EdoubleD]

After the game releases I want them to show us some BTS development, I'm just really interested in what happened.

'almost there'

[Kurisu]

Probably be lots of scenes of SE staff sat round a table drinking saying "we should really do some work" xD

But my god does that work look to be paying off! Can't wait until we start getting news on summons *_*

[Snookies12]

I really hope there are secret summons to find.

[HappyWithOneBubble]

That PS4 power. Looks 10x better. The wait will be worth it I believe.

[BABI-PANGPANG]

Nomura ain't working on the project any longer?
... fuck.

[dota2champion]

That sucks, but at least he's working full time on Kingdom Hearts III

[BABI-PANGPANG]

He better! :P

[EdoubleD]

This is a good indication on how far they are, I think Nomura has done all he can at this point, the game is nearly finished after all.
Tabata certainly won't be a bad influence considering his track record, the game is in the right hands.

[killacal13]

Well he probably left the blueprints for the game to be finished correctly, I think that this game will be a masterpiece in every regard, it will be up to us to judge this game.

[MoveTheGlow]

Tabata made one of my favorites, Crisis Core, so you'll see zero complaints from me as he takes over, the action gets simpler, and the tone lightens up and matures away from all the zippers and brooding we've seen in the series as of late.

[Qrphe]

He's still working on it but he isn't the main figure head. This means that XV is mostly done and that they really wanna get started on KH.

[slappy508]

This game looks awesome, I've never got into the FF series but I'm gonna pick this 1 up for sure. Will I be lost on the story having not played the others ?

[LeonhartX]

You won't be lost :)
each final fantasy has a different story!

[Agent_hitman]

Good news are rapidly coming, first the FF15 demo is coming this Mrch next year, second, the FF13 saga is coming to PC this October, and the next news I want to hear is, the FF15 Pc port and I will be completed.

[EXVirtual]

A pc port will not happen any time soon.
You'll have to wait until the end of the gen.

[tigertron]

I was sweet 16 when the first trailer came out, I'm now almost 25. :P

[MrWonderful]

I feel ya. I'm now 27. Its funny to think you've waited half your life on a game. Bastards! But it looks to be worth the wait.

[user5669510]

lets give credit to SE for doing their job something they should have been doing.

[j0ncap125]

Dat luminous engine though. Holy shit.

[Pillsbury1]

Grand theft fantasy?

[user6697483]

At least we know that Final Fantasy XV is still alive.

[Muzikguy]

The Versus screens don't look too bad IMO. I can't tell a difference. /s

This game does look nice. A demo in March, cool. I'm getting a bit tired of waiting on this game tbh. It best be good or SE will have a huge backlash on their hands. I know screens never show the true game so I'm "still" waiting. The demo will at least show something

[gamejediben]

The only real question is, is this gonna be released on PlayStation 4 or 5?

If I'm lucky, my grandchildren might be able to play this.

I think a decade may be SLIGHTLY too much time to spend making a game. Only slightly.

[colonel179]

This is going to be the first game that will celebrate 10 years anniversary without being released. They might even release it with a commemorative version saying "I waited 10 years to play this game"

[Kos-Mos]

Please make a good story...I miss the old Xeno days...when story and character development had a meaning.

[ninsigma]

The graphics do look pretty awesome but tbh I wasn't impressed with the latest trailer. I've been excited for this for a long time but this was the first time a showing of the game didn't wow me.

[Karnalsyn]

No one say it yet? Even for funzies?

Ok I will

Downgrade confirmed! :P
