I dont think it's a problem or a screw up. I think it's pretty neat that they can have a vague race yet still look normal.

Actually, I don't think it matters if "they all... look like 2 different people from fmv's to the fighting and what not." You see, it's just a game. In certain areas (as in normal field/battle scenes) they'll pay less attention to ethnic details than other scenes (as in close-ups and FMVs). And that's because they're not obsessed with every minor detail.Quote:

Besides, they're Spiranians.
They are clearly the evil devil spawn of Psychotic.
THATS ridiculous with what u just said. "its just a game" its not just a game u cant create a game with that mentality. it has to match!
Goddamn that Square and their non-catering to Western audience's needs.
They already did and it was a screaming successQuote:

Ethnicity of the real world doesn't translate into final fantasy, why should it? There is no Japan in final fantasy 10 so why do you expect the characters in it to look like they came from there. As black mage said they are spiran.
Did they really change the animations in the game from Japanease lip sync to English lip sync? I was under the impression they didn't. If they did they needn't have bothered.Quote:

Alright, you can be in charge of writing the rendering engine for real time rendered scenes.
The characters in ff7 look completely different from their fmv counterparts in-game. So the ones in ff8. We still have things such as "technical limitations"
What I meant that it was their first shot at voice acting for a series. I had not intended for that to be read as them changing the lips to match the syncing (which they did not do).Quote:

In FMV, Tidus looks like a weird mixture of races which I personally think is freaky, Wakka looks amusingly fat and Rikku rather cutely Japanese/anime. I guess its whatever floats your boat in the end.
okay at the time Final Fantasy X was a success but I gurantee if they did that screwup again it would not be. Technology is improving and things like that which stands out so much should be looked at and fixed. U cant compare technology from previous games u have to compare it to the technology that is currently at top. its expected that final fantasy x to be better than 7 and 8 so dont even bring those up in this topic. the scenes did not match which does not look good to the games reputatin therefore was a problem with the game no question. Okay there race is "Spiran" but that does not mean that they should look different from scenes u still did not answer that question which proves im right.
they're native americans:D for a lot of native americans have an asian look but you can also tell they are western, MO, hehehe
umm no
