I still remember accidentally stumbling upon this FFVI tech demo way way way back in the late 90s on the early internet. I had no way of confirming or denying what I was looking at, and none of the video game magazines I read ever said anything about it, so I held hope for a long time that some kind of 3D FFVI sequel was being made at the time. It was pretty crushing when I finally learned it was just Square experimenting with what 3D could do before making FFVII.

I am curious about the lighting choices. Why go with all fill and back light with no key? Was that because a key light would have washed out the projected image? Just for dramatic reasons? Would love if someone from the video department could answer.

Did Square (or the studio this guy worked for) use the same 3D software for the early PSX Final Fantasy ports? The tech demo looks very similar to the cutscenes in Final Fantasy IV PSX.

I wish they would do a reimagining of this game like they're doing with FFVII. Reenvisioning this whole game with modern graphics and expanding on the world would be so amazing.

The Silicon Graphics workstation is legendary. Probably the most important tool in gaming history. Every company was relying on that machine to jump into 3D gaming.

He speaks English pretty well compared to other Japanese developers. Still didn't stop the video makers from adding subtitles regardless though.

So would you die if you couldn't draw the shapes in time or what? It's hard to tell what the health meter is. Could you select different commands?

VI, Vagrant Story, and Xenogears are the most deserving of being remade (not just current gen but hd remasters too, 2D-HD for VI and -gears.

I see no need for subtitles. Are Americans this dense that always have a need to subtitle non-native speakers?

FF VI should be remake. It'll be grander than VII Remake. Just imagine fighting with Kefka would be like.
