It will probably be the best looking RPG this gen when it's out and you play it on your screen..
Textures look pretty similar though. Same low-res grass texture.
I am fairly certain this port will be like for like with the PS3 version, dithering effects included. The only difference will be in the resolution of the FMVs, but it will be pretty slight.

Just look at fangs hair. Agree with me or not, I dont care
Plus, like most of us that actually have HD tv's, i don't have one that's 1080p anyway..so i must assume that 1080p cutscenes over 720p ones would be wasted on me
On a gameplay note.. that first gameplay screen looks amazing. I'd like to see the 360 version in motion. I hope the framerates rock steady

Anywho, yes, that pic with Fang's hair does have less dithering. But look at picture 6 and how apparent the dithering is!

That stated, I still cannot wait to get my hands on FFXIII. I"m pretty sure that it is going to be a fantastic RPG experience, likely the best RPG to come out of Japan for the entire gen - which is kind of sad when you consider the Japanese (FF and DQ especially) used to dominate this genre. There have been a lot of great RPG stories told this gen from Japan, unfortunately, it's been coupled with gameplay that's for the more part, more outdated than Ford's Model-T. If the Japanese could get off their insular fence and create a truly modern RPG, they could once again set the entire world on fire - but at this point, I think it is wishful thinking that will ever happen at any point before the end of this generation.
I digress.
As for FFXIII being the best looking RPG out there for the entire generation, it's already been bested by Mass Effect 2, and Mass Effect 3 is likely to turn up the heat even more. And then there is the matter of Bethesda. Now that they own iD Software and have first party hands on iD Tech 5, Elder Scrolls V and Fallout 4 (not to be confused with Fallout: New Vegas), is going to graphically shit all over everyone else' RPGs.

The game looks fantastic, hope the framerate holds up!
I'm almost finished my second playthrough of FF13, and maybe it's because I don't have to put up with a shitty dub or westernization in general, but it's completely renewed my faith in the series after FF12.
Best A/V experience since MGS4 easily, and the gameplay manages to be just as fun as FF10 despite such drastically different mechanics. The only flaw is lack of sidequests, but everything else is so perfect I can overlook it.
I hope the PS4 is region free too!
Either way, of course 360 version runs the same as PS3 one... Microsoft made sure of that. That's not a huge feat though as the engine looks quiet aged already.

So the new screens are essentially from the same source using different button icons... Don't know why Square bothers doing this.
But yeah, i should wait until i see it in motion too (even if the original sucks either way).
In the end, graphics are not the biggest thing RPG's have going on for them, but it helps inmersion a lot. FFXIII's graphics are perfectly fine on either console, they are not great by any means, but they fulfill their purpose, which is bringing the game's world to life.
