Chick with the red hair is smokin' hot.
Also, I wonder if Snow understands the meaning of 'robbing the cradle'. Jeez, find someone your own age, let alone your own height, you perv.

The FMV's were really pretty, although the way the camera would moon all over what looked like thirteen-year-old girls was a little unsettling. I didn't see any uncanny valley; I just saw realistic but oddly well-endowed thirteen-year-olds.
The actual gameplay footage though looked... bad. Jerky framerate, dull models, generic attack animations all left me unimpressed. If this is the alternative, I'd much rather stick with stylized and beautiful FF6-style combat graphics.

I had absolutely no idea as to what was going on in that trailer.
It looks very pretty though.

Did anyone else think Transformers when they saw the summons?
Looks Sweet either way would love an english version shouldnt be long.

yeah that's first thing that came in to my head and am bit disapointed on this because i hated the machincs summons on FFXII but then again thay were related to tatics summons but still am very disapointed on the summons on this game i want real beast like summons just like other FF 11 and down!

Looks unbelievable, but its getting to the point where I dont want to watch these things anymore as I feel like Im seeing too much of the game and I like to be surprised.

English would have made the trailer better for me.

Trailers BAD ASS. I can't wait till this finally releases in the states. I'm foaming at the mouth.

Add a few imperfections to the characters, they'ld actually look like real people. Even when they do, they have some real neat tidy scar or something.
Dont get me wrong though - I dont want to play as an ugly person, just someone who looks real.

Wow, I'd say they cleared the uncanny valley by a rather large margin. It seems I don't even mind the typically overly-emotional voice acting when the facial expressions are so dead on. I'd say they beat out MGS4 and Heavy Rain pretty badly in the facial department.

Which is to say, I realize that those games went for a more realistic look (well, not MGS4, really) but this game does what it's trying to do graphically better than those games do.

Those easy in - ease out on the phonema's blend shape kills all the magic, why on all these years they can t improve on facial animation!!...
Beautiful shaders, lighting , camera, motion capture, but still their face moves and express like on the 90's of 3D facial animation... is like they are always recylcing the "Spirits Within" phonema engine synchronazer.. :-(.. and even that was a bit better..
