FF13 Environments Showcased

Japanese publication GameWatch has published a bunch of Final Fantasy XIII screenshots that showcase some of the environments that will feature in the final game.

Many of the environments have been seen before in trailers and screenshots, but these in-engine shots have been especially taken to show off the locales of FF13's world.

Final Fantasy XIII is now nearing its Japanese release in December, and these in-engine environmental shots serve to give fans a broader idea of what the world of FF13 is like.

Loving all the colors and how the sky looks in these shots. The FFX composer should provide some beautiful music to these environments.

In the demo there were plenty of things going on such as ships, and monsters flying in the background. Explosions all over the place and small things like sparks coming out of destroyed bridges and fire coming from destroyed towers. Can't believe you judge things like that from images.

Also lighting does effect the character models and so on. Don't expect everything from a JRPG.

WKC doesn't have any of these small things and looks graphically worse.

1.5 - They always have bright and colorful backgrounds
Speaking of which, a FFXIII dynamic theme should be in the works.

Ground textures looks horrible compared to the trees. We're done with flat grass on the our new consoles.

This is the only remotely interesting screen, the others are laughably bland, or simply not impressive graphically to care:

This one IS really nice though,

He's talking about the textures. Compared to gears, uncharted, fallout, oblivion, borderlands, etc. there's no "height" in them. Look at the jungle pic and check out the "flat" grass ground.

I gotta hand it to them, if they really do turn out looking like this in the final release, it's going to be one pretty game!

The screen shots are quite narrow (Tunnel Vision). The pathway seems very linear and narrow too. You cannot really grasp the outline of the place.

Brief and sloppy observation, gtg.
