FFXIII running at 720p, 30 frames a second, says Toriyama
Speaking in the next issue of Famitsu, Final Fantasy XIII director Motomu Toriyama has said that the RPG is “currently” running at 720p and 30 frames a second, according to Kotaku.
Toriyama said the team was currently making sure all text in the game was readable on SD TVs.
Sounds as though development’s rolling along nicely now.
“We’ve almost finished all the parts of the game,” said Toriyama. “From now on, it’s a matter of putting them together.”
The demo’s out later this month.

720p30 looks amazing in the right hands. I have zero doubt this will be one of the most attractive games of this generation.
Killzone 2 dropped below 20fps in places. All I saw was a beautiful-looking videogame.

Another piece of good news: cut scenes can be paused or skipped.
Square Enix sounds like it’s hitting the home stretch with the game. “We’ve almost finished all the parts of the game,” says Toriyama. “From now on, it’s a matter of putting them together.” Square will give the battle system a revision before final release, but the actual battle design work is nearly finished.
About the demo, Famitsu reports that it clocks in at one hour and twenty from the onset of gameplay. Toriyama says the demo is “about an hour” of gameplay. What’s more, according to Famitsu, “there’s almost no load time” and “the background music is so so cool.”

Did anyone read the part that they are actually doing it 720 so that people with only Standard Tv’s can read the text?

But Morriss has the bunny rabbits which talk to me. Always giving me good advice and telling me not to listen to the squirrels.
Never listen to the squirrels, or the badgers. They’re in it with the squirrels you see… always watching and waiting. Ask them about it, I bet they wont answer a single question… very suspicious.
