What am I supposed to be seeing here?

I'm more wonder since FFXIII trailers why did they use TWO raws of the upper eyelashes for Serah and Lightning? In cinematics it is OK - one raw, but in-game - there are two raws. Alyssa, for example, has one raw and it looks good. Why?

Why no SPOILER tag?

Now everyone will know that Serah will turn into a man in FFXIII-2.

Maybe it's Noel holding Serah's face?

don't you see how bad the quality is on her fingers as opposed to her face?

It was even worse in XIII.

90% of the polygon budget went to the character's faces. XIII had the same problem.

This. I just finished playing FF12 a couple weeks ago, and while the graphics aren't as good, the actually modelling on the characters fingers and hands in general is much better than what 13 has to offer.

Everyone in the 13 series has big blocky sausage fingers.

Yeah.. It were good times.. In FFXII they used different quality models for different body parts: Heads, Hands, Bodies, maybe legs. (It's like in FFX/X-2, but there they used two types of the models in the whole - highly detailed for cutscenes and poor detailed for common gaming). I noticed there was three Quality levels for hands:
1. All fingers are together exept the big one - it's the most common model for gameplay.
2. All fingers are separated but low detailed - used in cutscenes.
3. Same as 2 but with high details. (And looks better than in FFXIII)
And which model is used was dedicaded my the cutscenes complexity so PlayStation 2 could handle it - if there are many models on the screen then 1 or 2. If it's a dialogue and hands are imortant (example, when Ash gave the ring to Balthier) then 3.

And in FFXIII they use only one kind of models for everything - in a battle, in a cutscene. That's a pity. They could use the same technique and use High Detailed Models for cutscenes. It would be Awesome! But...

4k does not fix low polygon models. In fact, high resolutions tend to make low polygon models stand out even more.

You're making a lot of really bad posts. My suggestion is that you stop posting.

Are you stupid? No matter how high res you choose to use, it still won't help those fingers since the problem lies with how many polygons they are made of...

I wouldn't exactly call it a problem. The Xbox 360 and the PS3 were really quite weak machines, even for the time of this game. Square had to cut corners somewhere. Really, how often are you staring at a character's hands? Almost never. The only reason any of us noticed was because Serah had her hands on her face. The most important aspect of a character is their face and her face is spectacular.

It's not just the hands though. Lightning's arms in XIII is a good example. She has some really blocky arms. Sort of ruins some screen shots.

Do you really have to ask that?
