Agni's Philosophy is a Final Fantasy tech demo revealed in E3 2012, re-shown in Sony's PlayStation 4 Conference in February 20, 2013, showing what a future Final Fantasy game might look like using Square Enix's
Luminous Engine game production environment, developed for creating
games for next generation games consoles. Because it is a game engine
demo, Agni's Philosophy is not meant to show what an actual future game would look like, but to advertise the technical power of the engine.
Everything in the video is said to be running in real-time. The
demo video is said to depict real time computer graphics at the same
level as pre-rendered computer graphics and the fine details of the
characters are showcased through their facial expressions, subtleties of
their pupils and hair, and their flowing garments. Agni's Philosophy is said to have been created through the lens of the Final Fantasy series, in a world where magic and science coexist.
An official website was opened for the tech demo where the demo can
be viewed. The site was created with a survey asking fans' opinions on
the movie, Agni's character and the world the movie takes place in.
Although this implies "Agni" and this scenario may be used in future
video game scenarios, there is no evidence suggesting that a game based
on this material is in production.
The tech demo was powered by current PC hardware, using a single nVidia GTX 680 graphics card with 16 GB RAM.
Video Synopsis
The video depicts a temple before an impending solar eclipse,
where a group of red-robed mages and their crystal-wielding Grandmaster
are attempting to summon a sacred dragon. Partway through the ritual,
armed men storm the temple and attack the mages. One mage, Agni, fights
alongside the others to protect the Grandmaster, but shows little
control over her magic.
Despite the mages' efforts, all but Agni fall, and the Grandmaster is gravely wounded. He hands the crystal to Agni, who escapes to the streets, the armed men in hot pursuit. As the men release a mutated hyena, Agni manages to lose her human pursuers before using a potion-like item to heal her bullet wounds. The hyena catches up with her and pins her down, but Agni uses the crystal to summon the dragon from the temple. The dragon destroys the hound, and Agni later climbs on its back and soars to the skies, revealing a gleaming futuristic city on the horizon.
