The Mirror's Edge thing is news to me, I actually really like the look of that, ahem, "moefied" Faith. (Edit: Just noticed the enlarged breasts. That's... fine, I guess. lol)They moefied her, like Faith from Mirror's Edge (remember that ?). Nothing new from a fringe of Japanese fans, we all have those.

I'll get everyone to agree and say they can model Aeris after cosplayer Enji Night
You just described this entire thread lolThe things people complain about. Too much time on their hands I guess.
People complained about Claire and Leon's new looks too.
This is tiresome.
I 100% believe no one would be complaining if this new edit was what we had the entire time.
The irony is painful. You guys are literally the exact same as the people complaining about the original.
Its not some fucking insanely exaggerated proportions we're talking here. The difference is microscopic. Its like a fucking centimeter :|

To be fair, it is a cheap fan edit. If changed by Square to give her proportions like that it would probably look better.Changing a centimeter is a huge difference when working with a relatively realistic art style. Her facial proportions are spaced like a prepubescent but her skull size and ear placement wasn't really taken into account for the edit. Not saying SE couldn't make her face shorter but it looks weird/uncanny now.
I was about to go crazy thinking this was an actual response...god damn it :(
idk. it's all about properly processing feedback. when working on things it's not uncommon to get tunnel vision. That being said fans can easily get hyperbolic and vocal minority is a thing cause you're more likely to speak up when unsatisfied than give praise when satisfied.People in the industry.. actually in all industries, need to stop listening to fans complaining.
99% of AAA productions have focus groups.idk. it's all about properly processing feedback. when working on things it's not uncommon to get tunnel vision.

Design by committee and focus group opinions are a whole other thing though.
The fanmade Faith looks ok but the original is fine, the is absolutely no need changing her. That's what pisses me off, prettying and making characters more moe for the sake of it.The Mirror's Edge thing is news to me, I actually really like the look of that, ahem, "moefied" Faith.

But FF7R's Aerith looks great as-is. Hope they don't change it, the longer face looks better.

Tifa can have her original design. Just give her some damn tights.Cant wait for the inevitable Tifa complaints. And the Red xiii complaints, and the yuffie complaints, and the...........
This. People tend to forget that at 22, Aerith is one of the oldest FF female protagonists.
Not only that but I'd venture to say that at 22 she must be THE oldest female love interest to a main male character in JRPG history.This. People tend to forget that at 22, Aerith is one of the oldest FF female protagonists.
Lol, you're not getting tights on Tifa, c'mon now. We could, however, hope for her to use mini bike shorts underneath her mini skirt as to not flash the camera with every kick. I'd settle for that.Tifa can have her original design. Just give her some damn tights.
Edit: oops double post my bad.
