thats pretty amazing i knew AMD would be behind this i find AMD processors so much better than Intel especially for games :)
It says it's completely CG, but if you have seen the website of the company you'll see it's only the face that's CG.
hair included ?
We're hard wired for recognising the smallest nuance in a face (unless you have autism). If it's a bit wrong it's utterly wrong. Dead eyes. Sorry, I'm a stickler for that kind of thing ;)
I liked the first Final Fantasy, but even then the CGI just got in the way of the movie. And that was pretty cool CGI.

Honestly, this should be possible with the source engine, but they horribly overdid the character anims in hl2.
