Is Agni’s Philosophy Final Fantasy XV? The next-gen FF game?!
Final Fantasy XV: Agnis’ Philosophy MAY become the next core-Final Fantasy game. Whether FF15 (Final Fantasy 15) ends up being the full actual game is anybody’s guess. This impressive realtime technical demo shows off Square Enix’ next-generation engine that will, one presumes, power the next Final Fantasy title. What isn’t known is whether the characters, setting, situations, etc. seen in this tech demo will be incorporated into the next-core Final Fantasy game for Xbox 720, PS4, Wii U, PC, etc. or not… This demo showcases Square Enix’s new “Luminous Engine”, that will power next-gen RPGs and other games from Square Enix.
Check out the Final Fantasy XV Agni’s Philosophy Realtime E3 2012 Tech Demo!
No matter what you think about the themes and the movie-like (rather than game-like) nature of this Final Fantasy XV Agni’s Philosophy trailer, you can’t help but be blown away by what you see on the screen. Jaw-dropping graphics huh?
Taking a huge departure from Final Fantasy games past, the trailer introduces all kinds of new, action elements that you wouldn’t expect to see in a Final Fantasy game… Including guns! The whole demo drips with a realism and real-world feel that is alien to the Final Fantasy series. With a setting that feels like we are in the Middle East and lots of “rebels” causing trouble. But don’t worry, Magic also plays a big role and we see some Thunder/Lightning spells cast by hooded Mage-like characters, including the main character. Presumably the “Agni” of the title.
Is this the female protagonist of Final Fantasy 15? Is FFXV a reality? Or is this just a demo? So many questions.
Apparently, all of this graphical fidelity is realtime… no computer-generated cutscene graphics here! :O However, despite all the departures from what you know-and-love, you still get to see a Summon! At the end Agni mounts a crazy-looking dragon, who recalls some of the Summons of Final Fantasy past. Some people even think the city architecture, music and camera remind them of the slum-city of Midgar from Final Fantasy VII. Although I didn’t get that vibe from Agni’s Philosophy myself.
Of course, whether REAL next-gen games actually look this good in-game or not is anyone’s guess… We’ll have to wait and see. It’s interesting to note that Square Enix was essentially absent from E3 2012 and did NOT show off their most highly anticipated title… Final Fantasy Versus XIII, a game that has been in development hell forever (originally announced at E3 2006… SIX YEARS AGO!). Hopefully that game will STILL see the light of day and Square Enix can still find the time to finish it up as a swan-song to the current-gen before diving headlong into next-gen Final Fantasy XV development.

Luigi returns in Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon for 3DS! Releasing holiday 2012!
Luigi’s Mansion 2: Dark Moon 3DS is the official title (without the two) of the all-new 3DS Luigi’s Mansion videogame that is a sequel to the GameCube launch game from 10 years ago, the original Luigi’s Mansion was released way back in 2001!
Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon will be released this holiday 2012 confirmed Nintendo at their E3 2012 Press Conference, also showing some all-new gameplay from the upcoming AAA game.
Luigi’s Mansion 2, or what I like to call “Luigi Ghostbuster”, seems to look, feel and play exactly like the original game, except in glasses free, stereoscopic 3D, and with more variation in the types of ghosts and levels you will visit and explore.
Here is the debut gameplay footage of Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon exclusively for 3DS with the Luigi’s Mansion E3 2012 Gameplay Trailer.
Synopsis Ghostly Adventures Await in Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon
The new Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon gives players multiple mansions to explore, a variety of puzzles to solve and new ghosts to capture. Armed with the Poltergust 5000, a ghost-sucking, vacuum-like invention, Luigi must complete a number of missions assigned to him by Professor E. Gadd.
Key Features of Luigi’s Mansion 2: Dark Moon include:
* Shining a light on the ghosts is no longer enough to stun them into immobility. Players need to activate a new strobe function to stun the ghosts before sucking them up with the Poltergust 5000.
* Every mansion is filled with unique puzzle elements and ghosts. Players must figure out how to defeat each one of them and find hidden clues and keys to unlock new areas.
