So a friend showed me this link to the new Final Fantasy 13 trailer and it looks pretty sick. Of course the cut scenes are over the top action insanity, but it seems like they’ve finally raised the bar during the actual gameplay combat where the camera work seems integrated and cinematic and the character animations are seamless and fluid. Not that past efforts had fallen short, but I knew it was only a matter of the technology catching up to the execution.
I think we’re almost there, folks.

Check out our girl, Lightning I believe she’s called, (a Squall/Cloud with breasts and a gunblade) in the visual extravaganza by clicking the pic.
