The FFX FMV character models do have a touch of the uncanny valley, but the in game ones aren't so bad.

One of my favourite things about Oblivion that I sorely missed in Skyrim was the ability to make truly spooty characters in bizarre colours.
My Tony Hawks Underground character always has bright blue skin and a bright red mohawk. SOMETIMES I LIKE TO GO CRAZY AND HAVE FUN, OKAY?
Yes, I was referring to the FMVs. I didn't mind the in-game models. I don't know about hyper-realism and all that jargon. All I know is that they made me uncomfortable because they looked like real people but not real people at the same time.

I have always been under the impression that the uncanny valley referred exactly to this sort of thing. :3 Looking real but at the same time unreal in a way that is off-putting.
That's my understanding as well.I have always been under the impression that the uncanny valley referred exactly to this sort of thing. :3 Looking real but at the same time unreal in a way that is off-putting.
As far as I'm aware, its different for different people too. So people really can't say "That's not the uncanny valley". The most they can say for certain is that "That's not the uncanny valley, for me".
All I know is that PS2 Tidus wasn't in the Uncanny Valley, but oh boy, he sure is now.
Chalk another one up for this. If it's not off-putting, then they're doing just fine. Examples of the Uncanny Valley for me are Oblivion, FFX, Oblivion, L.A. Noire, Oblivion and Crysis. Regarding Crysis - for all the beauty they put into their game, I distinctly remember seeing a 2D face slapped onto the front of a round head at the very start of the game when you're about to jump out of the plane, and it's whack.That's my understanding as well.I have always been under the impression that the uncanny valley referred exactly to this sort of thing. :3 Looking real but at the same time unreal in a way that is off-putting.
Yeah, I agree with this too. I'm one of the few people who wasn't disturbed by The Spirits Within, and I think the best looking fully animated models I've seen in a game so far are probably FFXIII's. Uncharted is a fantastic for it, too. I can only imagine The Last of Us is really good.

I still think they look exactly the same, and are much too stylized to bug me at all.
