GAME Watch Interviews Tanaka and Komoto

This past week at Tokyo Game Show, GAME Watch got to spend some time with Producer Hiromichi Tanaka and Director Nobuaki Komoto.

They talked about the trailer, battle system, graphics, classes, and different stages of the beta. Here are some highlights...

• The trailer was both pre-rendered and real-time footage, mostly consisting of pre-rendered.
  
• Graphics are currently being developed with DirectX 9 in mind and plans of DirectX 10 are in the future
  
• Equipment and weapons will degrade over time.
  
• The PS3 version might be 720p depending on CPU, GPU performance of the Windows counter part.
  
• Beta testing will start on Windows. There will daily or weekly time-limited tests lasting a few hours and going up to 24, then eventually stress tests and finally an open beta.
  
• When XI was released RMT was not a serious as it is now, so they will be introducing the one-time password from the start.

If only the one time password was a deterrent.

Welp, scratching the PS3 version off my list. Good thing I just recently spent 1000 dollars on parts to make a nice gaming PC. Am I getting ready for FFXIV a little too early? Probably.

Besides that, nothing new with this.

Most PS3 games are Native 720p anyways, not too many actually go to full 1080p.
