New Final Fantasy 13 Demo Footage
You can see some gameplay footage from the final fantasy 13 demo that was included for japanese purchases of the blu ray version of advent children last week. The game looks excellent, but it is worth remembering that Square Enix have formally said that this demo is running on the old version of the ffxiii game engine, so chances are it will run slightly differently by the time it hits consoles later on this year.
Some interesting points include a new “Rank” award after a battle, much like roundups in previous final fantasy’s but these appear simplified with a “Rank” given a number out of 5 stars. The gameplay also looks a lot more fluid than you may remember in older final fantasy’s with the charectors jumping and doing mid air gymanastics in order to get through different scenarios – this makes it appear more like a platformer than an RPG. Battle scenes look as good as ever and in Full HD on the PS3 they look to be some of the best looking final fantasy game play scenes ever seen.
Dilogent gamers have recorded their whole experience and posted it to video sites like youtube – supposedly a full hour’s gameplay is available which makes this demo substancially larger than most game demo’s you get. Check out these video’s of the final fantasy 13 demo in action.
