Yea, I saw these, I'm 100% certain their just shots from the e3 trailer and not anything new unfortunately.

But besides that, the game looks just beautiful.

Yeah, you are right, incidently I hadn't seen the trailer so I didn't know. Thanks for pointing it out.

You can view the trailer here: http://www.gametrailers.com/gamepage.php?id=2649 in "HD" for anyone who hasn't seen it yet.

Blame Kotaku.com, they told me these were new :(

It also looks pre-rendered.

According to an interview they did, Screens 1, maybe 5, 7-12, 16, 21 and 22 are pre-rendered, the rest would be ingame.

The battle sequence and the through the forest bit the developers said was ingame.

Along with hat, looking around at FF13, there's a youtube trailer for one of the city's in FF13.

and some scans.

The bottom screen is a battle so that's in game and if the top screen is the forest sequence of the E3 trailer then its ingame too.

Most parts of the trailer are CG. The forest part and the battle part possibly aren't, but the rest is for sure.

Still looks amazing. Definitely the killer app for the PS3!

No, the forest sequence is CG, along with most parts (if not maybe all of that trailer). :laugh: I could believe the battle scene was in game, because you can't actually get any detail out of it (it's moving so fast).

I dont know if you see the trailer you can really see the difference between CG and ingame. The forest sequence doesnt look CG.

Here is some new screens and info about FFXIII: http://www.the-magicbox.com/0612/game061231a.shtml

Nah, I had another look at it. I could believe the forest scene is in game. The model and the textures and stuff aren't her aren't as detailed as the CG moments.

What is Jump Festa?

Wikipedia of FFXIII:

Story

Plot from the Jump Festa trailer

In the huge machine city of Cocoon that hovers far above in the sky, the people have lived peacefully for many years. However, recent contact with those from the world below, Pulse, have caused people to question one another and their way of life. Because of this disturbance, the government of Cocoon decided to exile those who had shown signs of coming in contact with the outside world of Pulse. Therefore, the Crystal has seen fit to choose the human who will bring about the destruction of the world. This human merely declared herself as "Lightning".

Characters

The only confirmed main character as of yet is the young woman featured in the E? trailer. It is uncertain at this time what role she will play in the game. Jump Festa 2007 confirmed the heroine's name as "Lightning", though it is possible that this is not her real name and is only a code name that she uses during parts of the game. In previous installments where Tetsuya Nomura had been involved, the characters were named after natural phenomena: Cloud from Final Fantasy VII and Squall from Final Fantasy VIII. "Lightning" follows this pattern. Based upon the narration of the trailer at Jump Festa, it seems as if Lightning is one who is chosen by the crystals to bring about the end of Pulse, the world below.

Jump Festa 2007 also confirmed the presence of a second character, a blonde beanie-wearing male who rides a motorcycle and uses a gun to come to Lightning's aid when she is outnumbered by soldiers.

World

Jump Festa 2007 revealed that the world that Final Fantasy XIII is based in is a government-controlled floating fortress called Cocoon defended by advanced technology. Those cast out of Cocoon are placed into the world below, called Pulse. It is heavily implied that the world of Pulse is where the crystals that have "chosen" Lightning are found. These crystals are said to give men the power to change their destinies and shape the world to fit their will.

Looks pretty cool are there any decent final fantasy's comin on the 360?

Only really got into ff7 the rest seemed to get worse, not keen on the battle system now but dying for a good rpg :(

There haven't been any Final Fantasy's announced for the 360 yet, the only RPG's that jump to mind for the 360 are Blue dragon and Lost Odyssey, both of which are exclusive for 360 and come from mistwalker which is run by the one of the original makers of final fantasy.

I don't know if they are out though.

Definitely look at Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey when they come out (Blue Dragon should be coming soon in the US and UK). They're done by the father of Squaresoft and Final Fantasy, and the scores are composed by the ex-composer of the Final Fantasy series.

How did SquareSoft and Enix team up to become Square Enix? I know it was a long time ago, but I forget why they did.

    • Qualcomm reportedly in talks to build custom video chips for TikTok parent ByteDance

      I hope this encodes in to AV1 or AV2 as currently tiktok uses h265 and h264.
    • Qualcomm reportedly in talks to build custom video chips for TikTok parent ByteDance

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      Qualcomm reportedly in talks to build custom video chips for TikTok parent ByteDance by Karthik Mudaliar Qualcomm is reportedly in advanced discussions to provide custom chip-design services to Chinese tech giant ByteDance, the same company behind TikTok. According to a report from Reuters, Qualcomm could be involved in designing custom silicon tailored for ByteDance's massive data-center workloads. If it goes through, the deal would make ByteDance one of Qualcomm's early anchor customers for its fastly growing custom chip-design division, For years, Qualcomm was the king of making smartphone processors and modems. The company has also been moving into the PC ecosystem and other formats such as on-device AI for Android XR headsets. However, this particular deal is about Qualcomm's custom Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs). For a platform like TikTok, ByteDance needs hardware that can help it ingest, process, and serve billions of short-form videos daily. Generalised hardware is no longer the most cost-effective and efficient route, which is why ByteDance is trying to develop custom Video Processing Units (VPUs). VPUs designed specifically for ByteDance’s algorithmic needs could drastically reduce data-center power consumption and improve encoding speeds at an unprecedented scale. The underlying tech behind these processors is actually from Qualcomm's recent acquisition of AlphaWave Semi, a high-speed connectivity specialist company. By combining AlphaWave’s high-bandwidth IP with Qualcomm’s architectural expertise, the company could begin mass production by the end of 2026, if the talks go through. All this also comes at a time when U.S.-China tech relations have dwindled. Escalating trade frictions between Washington and Beijing have severely impacted the export of high-end AI chips from U.S. firms like Nvidia, AMD, and Lam Research. Yet, the Qualcomm-ByteDance discussions show that U.S. tech companies are still actively seeking growth avenues and are open to doing business with China, where regulators still permit. Reuters notes that the outcome of this deal could be uncertain, and ByteDance might also seek partners other than Qualcomm. via Reuters | Image via DepositPhotos.com
