I HATE the new FF7 look

[boys from the dwarf]

cloud definetly looks fine. tifa looks a lot different but i dont realy care. barret looks a bit too much of a gangster but red 13 and vincent are pretty much perfect.

[Fuefu]

Thay have ps3 screen caps of Tifa, Red, Barret, & Vincet?

[Vyk]

This isn't about PS3

I dont mind the look of the recent additions to FFVII, but thats dont mean I like what there doing with this game....

I'm talking about the ARTWORK, forget the in-game appearance

I don't think that's accurate. When I look at Rinoa, I think if she had blonde hair, she'd remind me of the girl from The Girl Next Door.
I don't get that from Tifa though. Besides, Tifa came before Rinoa, thus Rinoa is the "repaint" if anyone is.

Also, I played FF7 when it first came out here in California in 1997. I thought it was cool that the characters were no longer tiny blurry sprites, but I wasn't very impressed by the polygonal take either. It was my opinion that FF7 had the greatest battle and movie graphics that I had ever had the pleasure of seeing. My problem remained with the polygonal field characters and the typos and mistranslations that would sometimes occur in the story.

The AC version came after FFVIII, and it is true, Tifa now has black hair... which is a big set-off

I prefer the new look. Anime style just doesn't work in 3D. With a few exceptions.

[mooglebunni608]

in the tech demo he looks like he put his hair that way on purpose.......

[Alive-Cat]

I do kind of think the Anime style graphics of FF7 looked cooler, but unless they wanted to make a cartoon styled movie/demo, they couldn't replicate them. The Anime style of FF7 is purely down to the oldness of the game, I'm sure if at the time they could have made the game graphics like the movie graphics of now, they would have.

cloud looks good in AC and the demo, but his hair isn't spiky enough. That was that, one of his biggest traits in the original game (Barret calling him by the name: "Yo spikey headed ass") but it looks more realistic the way the have it now...but i still miss the spikeyness

Am I missing something? I thought she always had black hair.....I thought they made her look Asian, since they so rarely do that in FF (they like blondes....heheheh)

I like this better. I am ashamed to say, but I was sparked on FF by Kingdom Hearts. I saw commercials for it, (at this time, I liked Disney) and desperately wanted a PS2. Well.....I got one, got KH, LIKED KH, and then found out about FF. Well, naturally, I got FFs (X first, I believe...), and so on. But I was MAJORLY off-putted (yuck...terrible grammar I have...) by the graphics in VII, but that probably was in large part to playing X, then VIII, then IX, THEN VII (I didnt play the older ones until I became FF devout), so I guess I was biased.

Okaaaay.....LOOOONG explanation that no one cares about.....heheheh
Overall, I like being able to see the kick-boot3h FF7 characters with mouths and fingers. I agree that they didnt make his hair spikey enough (That poor pokey-headed fellow), and they didnt make his eyes shiny enough. I thought they would make them like O.O POW! but it was more like o.o pow....

Keep in mind, I havent seen the movie yet, Ive only seen pics.

okay, im tired of people saying the graphics are bad, of course they are! the game was made in 1997! it doesn't really matter unless your stuck up and can't play a game without good graphics.
and in FFVII game Tifa had brown hair

[Acid Raine]

-_- I was 6 years old in 1997. I wasnt interested in this stuff until 2002 when KH came out. That long explanation was saying that I was merely disappointed because I was biased to good graphics, due to playing X, IX, and VIII first. And it's not like I didn't play it, I did play it, start to finish. FF VII remains one of my favorite games out there. Sure the ice cube look bugs me a little, but I get over that quickly. VIIs graphics are are only bad depending on who you compare it to. If you compare it to the newer games, then yes, they will look bad, but everyone who plays VII knows when it was made and that was the best they could do....nobody I know has comdemned it, yet...

Edit: Okay, It turns out Tifa's har was originally black. See for yourself:

For the lego look, I'm pretty easily able to see a games graphics from the point of view from when it was just made.

AC i only have a problem with Square taking Rinoa's clothes, dying them black, and putting them on Tifa.

And the tech demo I remember thinking something was wrong with cloud but i only saw it once and it was 11 months ago over a really bad computor monitor so i cant really recall what he looked like.

But i do think they chould have left the clothes unchanged.

[Skyblade]

The tech demo was all right (although I'd appreciate being able to find a larger and higher quality version of it). I do however have a small problem with it. It's the same one I had with AC. Namely, Cloud's hair doesn't work. The style was nice in the original, but it didn't translate well to the more realistic style of AC and the Tech Demo. In the original, their figures were out of proportion, and the hair was similarly exaggerated. In AC, they fixed the proportions and styles, but they left the hair alone, and, IMHO, it comes across looking extremely stupid.

Also, why do people complain about Tifa's hair color change, but not Reno's? His hair was a dark reddish brown in the original, but in AC, it's bright red, and I find that change far worse than Tifa's.

[Shiny]

Cloud looks ugly and his clothes look like ghost vomit... I mean, I liked the anime-look of the original... not these ugly, attempt to look real bullsmurf...

Games are not all about the look but the actual gameplay. Ah, forget it you're banned anyway so I'll just end it there.
