Ashe changed face...

It's gotta be a hoax. First of all, look at the appearance of the nose on that first picture. It's clearly been put on in a photo editing program, it's not a re-worked cg.

Secondly, once they've done as much as Square already has, going back and changing the game to add a larger nose... that's a lot of work and a lot of lost money.

Third, this is the only site reporting it. If this really happened, why isnt JUMP magazine all over it, not to mention American gaming mags?

And foruth, the character designs are very Japanese... no pretty girl will ever have anything other than a cute little nose.

You know now that i think about it...You're right! it is a hoax there's no doubt about SE couldn't do that after they published her and JUMP would talk about it too so i guess it is hoax beside SE wouldn't change to such uglyness :p

chaos: Not too much of a difference I see... Still, she looks very nice...

Rubedo: I always liked her design. Too me, this is quite a minor change. Ah well...

Pfft. There's no difference.

This is so a fake. Why? Because if you look at a picture of Balthier, you can see it is the exact same nose and eyes. Not entirely too difficult to just crop them from a pic of Balthier, paste it on Ashe's face, and recolour the skin so it's the same tone. All you need is good quality pics of both characters, Photoshop, and too much time on your hands.

Well lets hope it is a fake, because I really liked the first version of Ashe, it's alot more cuter.

In the site they didn't say it's fake or not but I don't think there's gonna be a new face to Ashe like TheAbominatrix said before if SE really were gonna change Ashe's face then JUMP magazine would have wrote about it....Maybe a hoax or maybe SE just tried to do something...Dunno

The new one looks worse, but it's not bad enough for me to lose enjoyment over playing the game.

Ok, everyone agrees. Its a hoax and there is no way they would have slowed down production to make her nose huge and her eyes narrow.

Apparently the front site would agree that both Ashe's and Vaan's faces have been changed to look more realistic, as was stated at the TGS. I guess we can't deny what's said there by SE.

Why havent things changed at the official site then?

Hell if I know. Generally, I trust information that comes out of the Tokyo Game Show.

I do too, but I havent seen the TGS confirm anywhere but here. Hmm...

I just dont believe anything until I see it on the official site or in JUMP.

True. I find it hard to believe that they would change something like that. I don't really think it's such a big deal if they're going to tweek their faces...

As I read at the site that I gave you to see the change that SE put in the official site of FFXII they put a new wallpaper of Ashe but after a few days they put the new wallpaper down for some unknown reason.
Maybe they heard the fans hated the new Ashe who knows :p
