And you know what. None of that is CGI You were looking at the future of gaming. Square will try to make games look CGI as much as possible, but you only could play them on next-gen consoles of course. So let's wait.

E3 2012: Square Enix Presents the Luminous Studio Engine A glimpse at the future of gaming (and possibly Final Fantasy) is shown in the Agni's Philosophy demo
by Marc Nix JUNE 5, 2012
Square Enix took a hurdling leap into the future with its unveiling of the Agni's Philosophy demo at E3 2012. Running on the next-generation Luminous Studio engine, this is the same cutting-edge game technology that will be found in PlayStation 4 and the next-generation Xbox.
Demonstrated in realtime to E3 showgoers, Agni's Philosophy: Final Fantasy Realtime Tech Demo combines the technical skills of Square Enix' top studios, including its Japanese Visual Works development group and Crystal Dynamics in the UK, as well as INEI Inc., Art Spirits, and YEBIS (makes of high-quality effects middleware.) The demo was designed to showcase the magic and emotion of the Final Fantasy saga, and "was created through the lens of the FINAL FANTASY series, where ancient magic and advanced science coexist in a near-futuristic world. The video depicts a life-changing encounter for our heroine, the magic-wielding protagonist Agni."
Square Enix has not yet identified the hardware specifications required to run the Agni's Philosophy: Final Fantasy Realtime Tech Demo technology. The Luminous Studio engine itself is being developed for "game consoles, PC, smartphones, and the web" In a previous interview about Luminous Studio engine with Japanese site WatchImpress, Square Enix said that the company will also look to bring this development environment and engine (at some compatible level of fidelity and complexity) to more familiar platforms such as Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, assumably PlayStation Vita and the upcoming Wii U, and any major platform that supports programmable shaders; a modified engine might also be possible (similar to what Capcom did with with MT Framework Lite) on Nintendo 3DS, though that is not yet planned. Of course, don't expect these graphics and physics and particles on just any device that Luminous Studio engine can be tossed on, but the scalable nature allows Square Enix to shoot for the moon with its engine without completely leaving behind platforms we already know and love.
Agni's Philosophy is not necessarily footage from a future Final Fantasy game ... but then again, it could be. Square Enix has posted a survey on Agni's Philosophy, asking gamers to evaluate the character, story themes, visual design and technical presentation, allowing users to also send their own feedback on the clip. Those who envision this as Final Fantasy XV can start petitioning Square Enix now.
Let's me watch this again This is seriously the best graphic I've ever seen

A game or a movie, I don't care. If this is the future of gaming...
