Oh okay, cool. Thanks for that.It's a callback to this concept from the original:
Wait! Is this Aerith's house?
omg aeriths house is literally perfect. I cannot fucking wait for this game
CHOCO/MOG!
They look really low res and graphics are meh.
Playstation use Flickr and upload images that aren't 1080p for some reason.

The game is so going to end with a shot close to the Aerith one in the key art. You'll get out of Midgar, get this wide open shot of the world and then-- boom-- credit roll.
He is reprising his role for this game, he already worked on scenario design and event planning in the original. And he is good at this.
I'm not sure I like that. It used to be a pretty place in the original game.
Now it's kinda uggo.
The house is in the slums, so the new look definitely emphasizes that point. Great update.I'm not sure I like that. It used to be a pretty place in the original game.
Now it's kinda uggo.
+It's supposed to be next to this place. Arrows points to house area.

You're right in that now it looks like it belongs to the rest of the city.
Yeah, I always thought it was a little weird that you have that beautiful looking area right next to the slums. I like how the newer one reflects that now without necessarily looking run down.The house is in the slums, so the new look definitely emphasizes that point. Great update.

With baby yoda and now the moogle riding the chocobo...I don't know how much more my heart can take.
Whoooo the magic is there! 😍 chocobos
Even if it was already modelled, I guess they didn't want to get people's hopes up thinking that Part I would extend beyond Midgar or something to that effect (#SquareEnixLied?)

As the others already said, it makes more sense now.The house is in the slums, so the new look definitely emphasizes that point. Great update.

Lol I'm not going that far, I just find it hilarious they'd go through the effort of showing that image without the best part of it. The original (that I remember) had her looking at the Highwind. What's the point of putting Aerith in some blank ass field that isn't even in Part1? Other than nostalgia baiting of course.
Of course. And I totally got that from your post. Just saying that even if the Highwind was ready and included, people would get the wrong impression and attack Square Enix, which is a shame since the picture absolutely feels incomplete.
As someone else mentioned (this thread,? another thread? too many VIIR threads today, hah), this could very well be the view after they've
escaped Midgar. It could be the final shot of the first game... at least from the hero's perspective.
A moot point considering the Barret Marlene part isn't even in the game, but I digress. It's promotional artwork. And it's coming eventually (if they get that far) so there's no reason not to show it, even if it's just for promotional purposes.
No. It's not. It's an homage to the airship field pic, you can even see the markers on the ground. Both of these images are literally the key arts for the disc changes/other art for the original game.
They can't complain about your UI if they can't see it. -bigthink-
I see we're still firmly sacrificing any visual clarity at the altar of aesthetics that squenix's UX team has been on since at least Final Fantasy X. What a goddamn mess.
Good to see the "needless complication" aspect is going through all aspects of the game.
No shit it's an homage, but whining about IT'S NOT EVEN A SCENE IN THIS GAME is baseless right now since the game hasn't even released. That's what I was addressing about your post. In March I'll come back here and admit you were right that an image of Aerith in front of a vast open field and blue sky didn't end up in the game. How about that?
Do you even know what's going on? It's not linked to the leveling up system if that's what your thinking. Strictly weapons.

Jesus you people seek out the oddest things to criticize the game for.
