Final Fantasy VII Remake’s Character Models And Graphics Compared Between 2015 And 2019 Trailers
- Thread starter RevengeTaken
- Start date
I like it a lot, the original style is definitely way too cinematic to be an enjoyable gaming experience due to the lighting.
They definitely were a little early on announcing this but it made for a hell of a presentation from Sony that year. I can't understand how people can be members of a gaming enthusiast forum and have no fucking clue how it took four years to develop to this point.

Fat Cloud mode can be initiated after your first game completion, fear not!
I'm talking about XV trailers shown only months before the actual release, not the whole "versis xii" thing.
I like the new model better, but I do feel like his eyes aren't as distinct as they were in 2015. They should be brighter imo but maybe it's just the lighting.
looks tons better. would prefer he looks more like his portrait, but I guess they want a more realistic style, which I'm not fond of personally.
The newer ones look more realistic/real people but the older ones look more like the original characters if they were put in modern game design. Kinda like the older ones better.
Like I said in the reveal topic, I like what we got, but I think overall the aesthetic of the 2015 trailer captured my attention more.
I think the biggest thing is the cooler color palette. There's something more gritty and dark to it.
There are aspects of both clouds that I like. His hair certainly looks better, but I like like the sickly, almost dirty looking style they went with before.
Both Barretts look great, the only thing I'll say here is that I like his previous pair of shades slightly more.
Biggs from the original looks miles better to me. I prefer the more serious look and thin eyebrows. His hair also seems more distinct before.
Overall, I think the original trailer looked more distinct, but I wonder how much of that has to do with lighting.
I agree with this. I love the rest of the new character models though. Cloud does look better, but I preferred the sickly version as it made more sense. I'll deal though I'm sure. Now I just need to know where each part ends. I kind of want to hold out until I can play the whole thing. 2027 here we come.
Everything in the trailer is just remarkable.
- the facial expressions are amazingly animated. They emote better than Advent Children.
- I really like Cloud's new voice. He seems to act well. Like when he's standing up during Aeris' scene, he seems to say his line while standing up, puffing a bit. Nicely done.
- that cloud close-up with sweat... wow.
Few issues:
- clouds arms (shoulders, particularly) are a tad big. In his meeting with Aeris, he looks overly ripped lol.
- I liked Blade Barret (2015 trailer) a bit more than the current design of 2019. But both are good. Don't know how I feel about the voice actor though.

In four years Square released FF VII, VIII, IX, and X.
Modern Square gave us a trailer of a game that will likely be 1/3 of a full experience.
I'm just so frustrated by their lack of output. Replaying XII has me longing for the days of unique worlds, characters and systems. Lower the graphical fidelity if that's what it takes, but no company has stepped into the adventure/RPG gap they left.

yeah i feel you. when you don't really like a FF nowadays you are pretty much done with that series for that generation of consoles as it takes that long to move to the next proper installment that might be more up your sleeve. like i didn't like ff 13 at all but we were stuck with it and 13-2 and 13-3 for that generation (singleplayer mainline ff at least). if it wasnt for 14 which i play every now and then, ff would have been dead for me for that entire generation.
back then if you didn't like the new one you could wait 2 years and get another one which might have been more suited to your taste
new cloud almost looks a bit too friendly and involved. like its been a while since i played 7 but i remember him being pretty distant, detached and not at all that interested in avalanche and its people in the beginning. the 2015 still has that detached/estranged look for cloud imo. The new one doesn't really sell that attitude from what we have seen here so far, but overall i like it a bit more
Yeah, the 2015 trailer really captured FF7 perfectly imo, we have to see more of this 2019 trailer at E3 to get a better idea.
I like new cloud. 2015 was a bit too sickly, I can see that model being good for later sections of the game though, when things get rough for cloud but that's like pt. 2-3 stuff if I remember correctly.
2019 Cloud looks likes he'll be able to show emotion besides sadness, which is good because Advent Children cloud is waaay different from FFVII Cloud. He wouldn't be able to pull off that crossdress scene without some acting chops lol
Also his arms look fine, shit I'm surprised he doesn't look like Guts after waving that buster sword around. Having a main protagonist with some muscle for once is fine.

IIRC, Nomura grudgingly changed the character model of Cloud due to feedback within the team a while ago, it was actually news put out....i can see why he feel that way considering the storyline and what Cloud is supposed to be going through, but they both look alright. The new version looks a bit more like the original rather than story specific.
Its likely coming out this year or early next

Barret's voice doesn't compare to Beau Billingslea, who used to portray him before (among other awesome roles, like Jet in Cowboy Bebop), but the issue there is that Beau is 75, and while he still does act a ton, it would be crazy to rely on him for sequels.
Jessie is actually based on how Roberto Ferrari's girlfriend Franca Zoli looked like "in the 90s when they were still just friends".
It now looks WAAAAAY more like the original art style, which I prefer to the Advent Children look (though that was interesting for a film).
Honestly my hype has gone up quite a little bit.

I question whether this game will have any sort of dialogue choices.
Rather than the game deciding who to date, you just go to their room and that's the one you go with.
Trying to decide if sickly 2015 Cloud is better for the themes, but the new one looks much more appealing.
They all look better, aside from maybe Barret, but the lighting is doing no favors in that picture either.
I don't imagine being in a coma for a few years does much for your physique.
