She'll probably, completely reasonably, have facial proportions a lot like how those particular Japanese dudes want Aerith to have. Because she's the cute young SUPERHYPERULTIMAJAPANESE girl.

Nope she's absolutely fine.
They're just angry she looks like a 20 year old instead of a 16 year old.

It would be funny for SE to actually give the faces imperfections. I thought DMC5's were a step in the good direction
Looks great on the left, right side just looks weird. Really hope they stick with their design.
Right version looks like "generic jrpg woman #7284". The left version actually has a bit of character to her face.
Also, what is it with people trying to be backseat artists these days? Let the studio do their thing. People are acting as if they were the ones to come up with Aerith to begin with.

Aerith looks great, and squishing her head down into a circle in no way improves the design. I hope SE has the courage of their convictions on all these nickel and dime complaints. Make the game you want!
Yeah this is the annoying part. She's older than Cloud (22 ->21) and they want her to look like she's still a teen.
One thing I like about the FF VII cast is that there are a variety of ages, with a lot of characters in their 20s and 30s. They should look the part. You have practically every other JRPG ever made if you want teen protags.
I was going to say that I didn't recall any complains about Cloud's design then I did. Specifically, about him looking too scrawny to wield his buster sword.
I liked this too even as a kid, yeah.
Although I'll forever find it hilarious that Cid is only 32 years old, yet looks and acts like a guy nearing his 50s or already there. This is even his description: "Cid is a tough talking, warm-hearted old pilot who hasn't forgotten his dreams..."
That's JRPGs for you I guess, you might as well be a corpse if you're over 20 lol.
Yeah it's funny, especially considering Barret is 35. Cid's age should have been at least 40 to keep some consistency lol.
Lots of talk about Aerith and Tifa when all I want to see is this suave motherfucker:
Look at him. Look at his ridiculous outfit.

Fighting for the planet must keep you young!
I actually do think her face looks somewhat unnaturally long in the new design, but then I also don't like the look of any of the new / Advent Children era designs. They're just not at all what I pictured compared to how the original game designs made me feel, in terms of what character they seem to innately express. Honestly I just don't think the key traits of their designs were ever going to be adaptable to the realistic / hyperreal style sported by most current AAA games.
Some fans complained? Why I never. Did they make a petition too?
To be fair, the redesign looks good. But the original is also fine.

The double coat. I cannot.
I hope he gets an increased role though. I know Sephiroth is the established villain, but Shinra are still the villains for two thirds of the game.
They love small faces I see why they did it. I love the left image though so I hope they don't change it.
Game isn't even out yet and people are nitpicking about the designs. It's not as bad as I thought, but I guess it's expected considering how much the game means to some people. I thought her design was great. I'm kind of tired or the doll anime face look of FF characters. So the more they distance themselves from that i'm good. The main FF XV characters were great because of this. With the exception being Young Noctis. He looked out of place until the older version.

Same energy. (minus the gun)
I'm quite worried about the quality of anything new they want to add, but you know what? I really want to see more of Rufus and Shinra as well. I always felt they were left behind way too quickly, even if they are one the "goals" of the party for a sizable chunk of the game.
It should be easy to expand on them too. Lots of room.
Make this happen Nomura. I need more Japanese creators infatuated with the Mads.
Same energy. (minus the gun)
OP

I love the new design. The fans who complain about this can go kick rocks. It's great. Square better not change this.
i really dislike the fact, that "fans" are intermeddling when the Artists are creating their stuff.
seeing this so many times sucks.
if something serious is involved such as whitewashing or politics, this is something different, but cmon, it does not affect the game at all

dude dresses like Michael JordanLots of talk about Aerith and Tifa when all I want to see is this suave motherfucker:

And as we all know, Michael Jordan is the ultimate JRPG villain.
Maybe by "old pilot" the wonky English translation meant "former pilot" or something
I think the face on the right looks "cuter" but I prefer the face on the left, aesthetically.
She looks like the non anime depictions of the past. It's fine.
Have to admit I've never liked the modern Cloud render but it's hard to translate cartoon anime style into fully modeled realistic face. I just feel he looks a bit stiff and serious, needs to be a bit mischievous or cheeky looking.

Could be that too, actually.
Still, poor guy's rough life has taken a toll on him. I remember being very surprised when I found out (in the manual I think?) that he was older than Barret.
Lmao.
You're not lying. Down to the very damn pose even.

Is that a long coat with a cuff under his jacket? lolol
Yeah I understand, I mean slightly more swagger or just tiny bit cooler looking.
He looks a bit mumsy looking to me. They've been consistent with it since going fully 3D. If people like the look then no problem. It's just never appealed to me since they unveiled it in the 2000s.
It was the 90s man, don't judge smh.
Yeah, gotta say, wouldn't mind if they get rid of a layer of clothes, that lab coat underneath is ridiculous. Keep the jacket and the bagginess of the suit, though. Cloud's pants are still quite baggy and that's really cool.
They've changed his look since then.Yeah I understand, I mean slightly more swagger or just tiny bit cooler looking.

This is such a dumb "controversy". Not only it's the same kind of people as ever that are doing that but they are on the minority compared to the gaming otaku in Japan who are defending the design when they saw those criticism. It's like people picked the minority of the side in shitholes like 5ch and some minor blogs to make some trending on twitter and youtube. And it's impressive at how they always pick on those to make it.
Well, good luck finding japanese talking about games on twitter or internet which aren't gaming otaku my friend. You probably don't know but if you're on highschool and play games, you will be called otaku even if you don't consider yourself to be one. The "socially accepted age" in japan to be playing games is before highschool, otherwise, people will generalize you to be an otaku if they see you doing that or you admit it.
Also, it's ironic that you say that when the very otaku you talk about disagree with others and are defending the design that SE made. Interesting, no? It's such a fascinant concept how otaku have different opinions and visions with a group having more or less in quantity. Almost sound like they're human beings. :O
How japanese even can be considered weeb my dude.
Of course. Japan much like every country in the world has people on the politic spectrum. There's a reason for why ultra nationalists exists and why the government is pretty much dominated by the right for some time. And the japanese internet isn't that different than the english one in many aspects if you look at it, it's pretty similar.
The same people defending the design and complaining about it are otaku. Which for the second, they're far on the minority and mostly on shitholes like 5ch and minor blogs out there.
