No, they just forgot to change the shadow. It cannot be there just to save time. Proof: they have actually adjusted the brightness/contrast of some areas in the final version. These changes made Squall look alot brighter, subtly hinting that he was visioned as Zell in the spider's eyes.Originally Posted by Rostum
My argument is that the shadow of Selphie is more important, worth taking action against, or less errorful than changing the brightness/contrast of some areas. Square would change her shadow and not change the brightness/contrast... and here we go, our effort is justified. But that's not the point anyways because changing the shadow of a character is actually almost effortless.
Oh yeah, the actual character image of Rinoa does exist in the final demo too. You can see her standing inside the ship when Squall is running away from the spider. Oh, don't tell me Square did that just to save time. That's plain silly.
obsessive would even notice it.
And as Roogle said, Rinoa would have been in the demo for marketing purposes. Also, chances are they had not finished either modelling/texturing/rigging/animating Selphie at that stage.[/QUOTE]
Nah, I doubt it. With Rinoa being in the very inital demo, it makes no difference to the audience. At the time of the inital demo, not many people know about Rinoa or Selphie. So how would that catch the audience some interest if they don't know much about Rinoa? Plus she and Selphie look hot. And PLUS square actually changed her to Selphie in the newer demo versions.
So if they changed her to Selphie in the newer demo versions, that would destroy the "marketing" purpose for putting Rinoa in the first place. Simply put, they had changed her to Selphie because there was a change in the plot. I had even pointed out the hints about this in my previous post (her limit break, saying identical lines, the garden gestures, etc.)
