Very Hawt. Overtakes my personal favourite Shikon Islands in visuals imo.

Personally I don't see the beauty in dead swamp land or whatever that is... unless you've taken a bite of one of those mushroom trees, then I suppose I could "see the pretty colors all around".

[Yusaku_Kudou]

I like it. Wish they'd use HDR lighting on the 360 version, though. The game could use the next-gen baked look. ; ;

[Garnet_Moon]

When I saw the bridge and fauna, I thought you linked a screen from FFXI by mistake.

When I saw the giant shrooms, I thought you linked a screen from WoW: TBC by mistake.

When I saw the entire thing altogether, I wet myself and saved it to my PSU folder.

It really does look like a merge of the Sanctuary of Zi'Tah and Zangarmarsh...

Zi'Tah and Zangar having a child would be awesome. I can't fucking wait for my copy of AoI to get here. Could be anytime between tomorrow and Tuesday. The wait is killing me. ; _ ;

dead swamp? I dont see any swamp... look carefully? http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

I'unno, maybe running through it will look better, but the picture looks rather blah to me.

Either way, it's nice that it's not a re-hash of what we already have.

[Wallin]

Well it doesn't really fall into the classification of forest, and that sky doesn't help it very much. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif

Good choice of preorders by the way. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

I hope there's new music for the stages ... and aaaah the memories are flooding in when I used to just hang out at Zi'Tah and listen to the great music there.

FFXI? Actually, the background does look a little like the Final Fantasy series, yet more like Moatoob of AOI.

Is that green aura thingy on the right side the swamp? It doesn't look dead, but it doesn't look like a swamp either.

I dispise how the CG art looks nothing like the actual ingame graphics.

Such over-hype!

[Wallin]

FYI, I guess this has been up for a couple of days already, but PSUPedia has the Illuminus OST for download on their front page through MegaUpload ripped from the game, I guess.

[WolfBlade]

wow nice pixs

Frankly, I think that stage looks MUCH nicer in game than the CG art makes it look.

[Retehi]

lol, Tokara Forest.

I said nothing of "stages" since there weren't any CG art of stages to begin with. All of the pictures of "stages" are actual screen shots.
