First Look at Cloud in Final Fantasy VII Remake dev pics

[benzy]

Pretty much looks like the redesign shown in the playarts figure.

 

[Bulby]

Like the outfit, dont like the face.

 

[Deleted member 4093]

dem pose

lol

 

[Hours Left]

His face looks like a haunted mannequin.

 

[ghostcrew]

Honestly, I kinda wish they'd kept the chibi guys for world exploring. It's such a huge part of the feel of FFVII to me.

 

[LabRat]

cloud definitely looks much worse than before

good job square enix

 

[Defuser]

It's probably the lighting that makes his face look bad.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

I look forward to my children telling me about this game in 2041

 

[Khezu]

Looks like hes been battling a bad meth addiction.

[Quinton]

I like it!

 

[butman]

Downgrade confirmed

 

[AndrewDean84]

Yeesh, that looks fucked up.

Models always tend to look worse when not in the game environment/beauty render

 

[Easy_D]

He's even worse off than Ken, yikes

 

[Monorojo]

He looks like Michele pfeiffer from Ant Man 2

 

[Ghos]

how'd they get the images?

 

[Banzai]

He looked perfect before, I don't get it. Hope it looks better in-game.

 

[PeakPointMatrix]

Quick let's judge this 240p image with poor lighting and panic!!

 

[ILikeFeet]

He looked perfect before, I don't get it. Hope it looks better in-game.

Because it's not a beauty render/in-game

 

[Acquiescence]

That kinda screams 'downgrade!' but I don't want to jump to conclusions.

 

[Braaier]

Eww why's he look emo

 

[AnansiThePersona]

His model reminds me of Amano art. That might be what they were going for but I dunno.

 

[Snake Eater]

His eyes look off

it's like they gave him more of a jpop boygroup face a la ff15, maybe to make him more appealing to japanese audiences?

 

[John Bender]

Ewww his fake looks terrible! What have they done? D-:

 

[Renmyra]

He looks like Zack.

 

[sir_crocodile]

hair isn't big enough

face looks weird

not a fan

 

[Elysiums]

Not looking good

 

[Becks']

It needs more belts and zippers tbh

 

[Aostia82]

uuuh UOT!?

 

[Monteil]

That's just a bad angle. Everyone has it.

 

[Koozek]

I hope this is not the real current in-game model. After hearing about the design changes earlier this year I kinda feared Nomura had fucked up the face which I thought was perfect before in the 2015 version :/

 

[Salty Rice]

For all people here complaining about the model

Spoiler

The game is not finished yet....for a long time lol

 

[LuigiBlood]

Yeah let's judge development pictures like it was final.

Lighting makes it look worse.

 

[Nozem]

His eyes look off

Click to shrink...

That's the Mako.

 

[Kyora90]

It's almost like it's a bad angle/low resolution and people are over-complaining.

 

[Raylan]

Horrible! Cloud looks like shit.

 

[Calliope]

What the?!?! How on earth is it actually worse than before? His face looks crazy and his eyes aren't right.

Noooo not my Cloud. Please don't screw him up Square. :(

 

[Normal]

He's even worse off than Ken, yikes

Click to shrink...

Let's not exaggerate. That's on a whole another level of bad. :[
DMCV Dante and SFV Ken wished they looked similar to this Cloud.

 

[antitrop]

What an awful facial design.

They got it so right in the gameplay trailer and now we have this.

 

[AndrewDean84]

Eww why's he look emo

Click to shrink...

Isn't Cloud the poster boy for emo?

 

[Deleted member 37917]

The more I think about this remake and the more I feel it is unnecessary. Also, I don't like that picture.

Doesn't mean it doesn't currently look bad, at least in those shots.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Is this another Shenmue situation where we can't be critical of how a face looks because it's still in development?

 

[LuckyLinus]

Too feminine and he needs way bigger arms to carry that sword, looks like he never lifted.

 

[skillzilla81]

This will be a thread that exemplifies why devs shouldn't show WIP images or footage.

 

[irishonion]

Is that Clouds blue steel look?

 

[OutofMana]

Potato level quality, but this looks weird. The lack of proper lighting might be the reason. Looks more like the play arts figure. Which I'm cool with. Man, I wish we had higher res pics.

 

[RochHoch]

Cloud's face looks awful, but at least he still has the turtle neck lol
