    It's a video download but well worth the terrible ~200 kb/sec I was getting. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on the 'exclusive first 10 minutes' download. I don't think they had to compromise very much. I know the cinematics are going to look the same, that's obvious, but when they're actually fighting I didn't notice any FPS dips and the graphics looked extremely similar to the PS3 version. What do you guys think?

    They don't, and it isn't. Its the first and major thing were the 360 version has inferior material because of disc space restrictions. What do you think takes up most space on the bluray? The audiotracks and the cutscenes. Both have heavier compression on the 360. (though you won't notice the difference unless you have high-end audio/video output)

    @Meowayne: I guess my audio/visual palate isn't as advanced as some people's. =] The cinematics still looked extremely good in the video. The game will be on 3 separate discs, so that likely helped with lack of disc space and allowed for a lesser amount of compression.

    @fishmicmuffin: I agree with you. Even if it doesn't look as good as the PS3 version when they frame-by-frame it. I don't care, it looks good. 
     
    At the end of the day, we as gamers should only care about 2 things: How does it play? and how does it look? 
     
    The answers of both seem to be 'good'.

    I agree with this, though I myself have stricter standards.  The 360 version does have it's noticeable drops in quality, but it isn't completely visible to the point that it becomes an eye-scraping distraction.  Good to know that 360 owners will also enjoy this game relatively the same as the other PS3 owners.

    @ShiftyMagician: I don't think any of us would be actively talking about this game on a forum if we didn't have strict standards about the quality of this game. However i think splitting hairs about minor graphical differences is prudent. 
     
    That said, if the game was broken for either platform upon release (which doesn't seem likely for either but you never know) thats a different story.

    I'm not concerned about the graphics... I'm kind of hoping it doesn't follow the JRPG formula. I'm waiting for the reviews before I get excited.

    I agree with this. It's gonna be teenagers save the world while dealing with puberty. and probably hilarious dubbing. 
     
    i'll enjoy it either way.

    @RedHerb: I'm thinking about the first you start off in a city, then eventually you get access to the world map where you have to walk. Then later you get a car, then you get a boat, and then you get a hold of an aircraft. And the closer you get to the end, the more supernatural the environment becomes. It's getting predictable. But if that's what JRPGs are, and should not change, I guess it's just growing old on me.

     @foggel: I heard (mainly from the 1up active babble podcast) that it's more akin to Final fantasy X. So, linear walking from A to B with monster fights along the way. Then near the end it opens up. 
     
    However, that walk-car-crazyass airship is a JPRG trope is well over used. but some ignore it all together  like persona 4 or final fantasy XII(sort of)...
     
    Anyways, some people are in it more for the characters/setting and combat.
