Aerith design differences compared to the original:
They were never clear about it and nothing looks different from the previous iteration. One thing for sure is they never mentioned it or implied that they were going to reboot it, it was mainly about milestones and overall production. It looks like CC2 was not reaching targeted milestones.

its different too its a leather jacket now, its bigger and different design, and there's metalic details on the shoulder the color is the same only, also her pendant is new
while changes to designs have been made, they are still only updated looks and still aiming to be as close to the original looks as possible. I doubt they are gonna get rid of Tifa's skirt. Skort maybe, but I doubt they will make it very noticeable it is one unless the camera is peeking that way. Just saying don't get hopes up too much. Aerith and Barret haven't been updated in a long time. Tifa's been the same in every iteration except her AC outfit.
Aerith's Remake design is what I'd call a "third version". It's different than the original 1997 era design, and is considerably different than the FFVII Compilation redesign (even though it keeps changed bangle bracelets and sleeve belts). FFVII Compilation's jacket and dress were more closer to the original. The key difference between those and the Remake jacket (other than the waist belt) is the collar:Aerith design differences compared to the original:
I'm slightly disappointed about this specific nitpick, because she had a very 90s fire outfit that showcases something of a half-sexy half-biker look whereas the new one seems to target more on her perceived "pureness" with a flowy dress and regular jacket.Aerith design differences compared to the original:
I really hope the lighting is great. Midgar is such a cool environment.the arts of the event from last year:
It's very fashion-inspired in my mind and even if he didn't want to give that vibe about her I just hope it isn't a sign to come that they're going to retro-actively change Aerith into this innocent, pure angel when...she wasn't
Lighting seems to have improved since the 2015 CC2 build.
The environment was changed around as well.Lighting seems to have improved since the 2015 CC2 build.

Ffxiv added this as a boss in a dungeon. But if you look just before boss a random npc tells you this line
The animation in particular is what seemed off. Like too loosey goosey when it comes to his legs. Maybe its his pants idk lol.
The things like that, more bulky iron pieces of costumes, seem to be eliminated more since the FFVII Compilation. To me, though, that stuff, like Aerith's studded iron sleeve braces, Barret's grungy iron waist band, and the old SOLDIER emblems were part of the "look" of FFVII's steampunk/dieselpunk/cyberpunk world. It wasn't supposed to be shiny and clean, which I got worried seeing the first Remake teaser at that one E3 where they show some REALLY modern, SLICK looking skyscrapers which, to me, feel out of place in Midgar, EVEN on the upper plate. That stuff belongs in Insomnia, NOT MIdgar. Midgar was never supposed to look "modern" (they made a conscious decision not to go that route) kinda looked more... noir-esque, more closely to major cities during the 1800s-early 1900s (while the most "modern" and sleek location in the game was Shinra HQ, for good reason, as they were hording all the wealth and technology). The REST of those on the upper plate weren't as advanced as the Shinra Corporation themselves, which shows the divide between classes, ESPECIALLY those on the tippy-top and everybody else).
A lot of the names in FFVII were mistranslated or simply badly thought-out.
If Barrett doesn't still have Anger Max, I'm writing a sternly worded letter to SE.
My sources tell me the remake animation for Knights of the Round IS part 3.
