FF13 graphics controversy

I love a good controversy; especially when it involves Final Fantasy, graphics doctoring, and console wars. Well not really, but I did get a kick out of all the comments.

When asked by RPGSite staff about the graphics changes that have been shown in screenshots, the game director Motomu Toriyama admitted changes have happened but also downplayed their significance.

“Initial screenshots of the game may well look different to what we have now. This is part of the process of making the game – we have to get a feel for what the system can and can’t handle – sometimes things are made better, sometimes things like the number of polygons on a model are reduced to make it more easy to display,” he said, giving the reasons for the changes.

Producer Yoshinori Kitase added to the explanation. “The important thing for us is that the game runs smoothly on both systems. We have made changes to the game, but nothing because of one system specifically – all changes have been made to get maximum performance.”

I guess I am reaching. Bottom of the barrel stuff here.
