Wow. That amazingly what aerith looks like now. You really googled the right image lol. Crazy though. Now, in my head cannon, aeris is italian.I just googled italian model green eyes and got this
Aerith's proportions look fine to me and I always thought she looked Italian.
Too much attention to Aerith when we all know she'll just end up at the end of Sephy's nodachi.
The fuck is polikore?As someone who goes onto Japanese media pretty regularly...this is not an uncommon occurrence on social media. Just letting yall know its not a handful of people. There are people who dont mind the design of course, but the amount of people who actually get on the bandwagon on this shit and talk about "polikore" and how japanese companies are anti japan because of this kinda shit is fucking infuriating. It aint an isolated incident and it should be called out, not dismissed
Abbreviation for Political Correctness.
Ugh so it's a thing in Japan they complain about too huh? How is the official Aeris political correctness? She just doesn't look súper animeish (just a tad). Christ
Adult look on left.
Anime look on right.
Left is better, more natural and believable, like a real woman.
Here are my two cents on this:
- If all it takes for the design to be considered good is to squish her face a little it can't be that bad in the first place.
- If all it takes for her design to be considered good and not anime is to stretch her face a little, the fan edit can't be that bad in the first place.
Her official design is still stylisized video game character anime beauty as fuck, not a real person look, so I dunno bout all of this. Everyone is crazy in this.
While I don't think it is crazy to go into a hypothetical FF7 remake and have the expectation that it look a bit "anime", it does make me laugh that after all this time and the other characters we've seen (that have a similar style) that the critique doesn't come up until the first female party member is revealed. We could have had what, 4 years of Barret photoshops and opinions but didn't....wonder why....Ugh so it's a thing in Japan they complain about too huh? How is the official Aeris political correctness? She just doesn't look súper animeish (just a tad). Christ
I'd be surprised if she's not changed, SFV Cammy style. SE wants these idiots to spend money on their waifu.

Horse face? Jesus fucking Christ. You're such a cliche. Such a demeaning term to refer to an objectively attractive female character coming from a person with a literal anime waifu complete with wedding dress in your profile.fan version is better but I guess most people here like horse face type
Lonely nerds don't like adult women and whined that she wasn't cute enough.

The only weird thing is that despite not looking anime she still acts anime: the weird bending over for no reason, the "blink and nod at the same time" head movement, the way she holds her flower basket with a twisted arm, etc.
I bet she runs like Vanille from FFXIII
I feel her face proportions are more natural on the left. Im sure someone in the world looks like that.
This is heartening to hear. Still, the fact that GGers have spread polikore and even SJW as terms to gaming otaku is pretty scary nonetheless.This is like half a dozen people, you know?
It IS generating quite a bit of discussion at jp twitter, hachima and the like, but the majority are in defense of the official design.
Anyone who looks at this character and says "she's not cute" is clearly either lying or obsessed with "moe" art enough that they're now trying to force an unrealistic art style in a game trying to be realistic looking.
I'm going to be awfully miffed if they do, ngl, especially when Yuffie can be and would make sense as the designated moeblob vs Aerith or Tifa who are actual adults.I think she looks fine but the more often I see her the more I get the complaints. I think they will slightly change her
Staight into the garbage bin.
