What an horrifying thought. Being so absorbed into fictional trash to the point of forgetting what a real human being looks like...
I'm looking at the PSN store page for FFVIIR and it has the quote "delivering a level of depth inconceivable for the original"
so they had better apply that to the Barret golden saucer date scene
It doesn't stop at fiction. I know people that post photoshopped cosplay abominations thinking what they see is real. It takes just a cursory glance for me to point to a whole array of inconsistencies with these bodies, but they just don't see it. One time I pointed it out, and they asked me: 'You think we're so stupid we don't know what a real woman looks like?' I told them, yes, I do.
Haha it's funny but it has to be true. I've always been a fan of "sexy" designs, as has my gf, but it feels like every stylized interpretation has to go off the rails.
She liked Pyra
"Accidentally." All according to Keikaku.
Yeah people are trippin'. She still has big ass boobies. They just designed her with a little more respect this time.
Dude if those are considered A, i don't wanna know what they think Ds are. I think some guys need to actually look at bra sizes to get a realistic idea.
Right? Her current design still has her large chested but not cartoony massive. Guess that's not enough
They did about as good of a job with Tifa's redesign as anyone could realistically hope for (from Japanese devs that are not From Software). They were never going to abandon her OG design of white top & black short-ish shorts/skirt altogether nor completely do away with big breasts but this design I feel is fairly decent modern more grounded/realistic interpretation of the original Tifa. Could've maybe used a bit more muscle but otherwise I'm fairly happy.
EDIT: I also like that after yesterday's somewhat questionable "Somebody save me!" line from Aerith that raised fears that they'd do a more delicate Aerith, this trailer showed a more confident one when Cloud says she should go ahead while he and Tifa take care of enemies and she's all "K" without being all "but I can't go on alone" or anything. So I hope that the shadow scene is just her being overwhelmed by some Lifestream corruption that she senses for some reason or something and otherwise they generally keep her pretty similar to OG Aerith.

Yep. Still has a large chest but is now wearing a sports bra (how could she not).
She is wearing a skort to keep the original look but not have her constantly flashing the world. Also think the thigh highs are a nice touch. I think they did a good job.
I wouldn't say by accident until they say something about it ...Twitter is currently going crazy over Barret
Looks like Square accidentally hit onto a Hot Ryu design for him.
They know how to do hot dudes that pleases both women and gay and bi men (hell the all cast of FF15 is proof of that )
Barret being "bearified" was kind of inevitable ...
I mean given the ton of rule 34 artworks and short porn fan made comics that were made of him all these years of course they jumped on the occasion ...
Really happy with the new Tifa design. That's about the best SE could have done to strike a balance and appeal to both sides in my opinion. The ones still complaining are just being unreasonable. I'm so happy SE resisted the urge to go in that direction.
Final Fantasy War of the Visions on the other hand...that went all out in the wrong way. That was really depressing to see.

This looks super interesting. The art style is really interesting, going to have to keep my eye on this one.
Especially given that the game director on this puppy is a big Takarazuka nerd , so it's cool artstyle mixed with some sprinkles of Takaruzka references here and there .
A demo of the game has been showcased during a dev conference in europe and the director was straight up wearing a Princess Knight T-shirt .
My friend asked about it and the director admitted being big in Takarazuka type stories .

I just had a horrible thought...what if they remove the choice to pick him...
I wouldn't be surprised if they force you to go with Aerith.

Dangggg. Call me Marlene, 'cause Barret is daddy

Uhhh is it just me or have they given him European facial structure?
Looks a bit like Gladio who bulked up and aged 10 years.Twitter is currently going crazy over Barret

I really wish Tifa was bulked up a bit, but I'm also kind of surprised we even got the abs, so I'll take it?
22-ish years of fanart has really done a number on the fans, though. Her main designs have literally never had cleavage to "censor", my dudes.

This thread
we already got nerds counting pixels to determine bust size
Nah, it can't be a One Piece character, her legs aren't twice the size of the rest of the body! :P
(Long time lurker, hi everyone).
I like Tifa's redesign too but I think she could be a bit more muscular too. For a fighter character Square (and some other developers to be honest) could get some inspiration from the Street Fighter muscle handbook. The book explains how to draw muscles to maximize expressiveness and muscle definition, even for smaller characters. Everyone thinks about Chun-li or Cammy when told muscles + women + Street Fighter, but a lot of the in game models just have cool, moderate muscle definition. Take Menat (alt costume to see the standing leg) :
Or Karin (her tights helps getting what could be done with Tifa):
But anyway, I'm glad they found a good balance between practicality and the keeping the iconic costume.

I'm sure some of you remember people complaining that Crash Team Racing dropped the trophy girls from the remake. Turns out they're still in, except now they're known as Nitro Squad and are unlockable racers instead of characters just standing around during a victory celebration

Sweet! Funny thing that was one of the old "trophy girls" goals. In the epilogue one of them decides to get on the race track. And yeah, this is far better use of these characters than just "trophy girls".

I think the main issue is just the style for final fantasy. Even many of the guys tend to be on the slim side with only a hand full on the larger side. I guess you could say they use a default anime look. Where most characters except for some extremes are basically models, yet still manage to be crazy strong.
Fantastic changes.I'm sure some of you remember people complaining that Crash Team Racing dropped the trophy girls from the remake. Turns out they're still in, except now they're known as Nitro Squad and are unlockable racers instead of characters just standing around during a victory celebration
On Neogaf I'd barely make threads because I could never tell why anyone got banned there. Without that factor it turns out the real reason is because like 90% of people think criticism is a personal attack and go fucking crazy.
Fuck all those assholes who were shiting up your thread! They care more about some stupid game then the people who are affected by this shit.
And some people wonder why we need a thread like this.
Yep, as soon as someone not a white dude speaks up, the worms crawl out of the woodwork. At least since they don't read this thread I can demean them however I like here with impunity.
I missed this because I don't usually follow any Sony announcements but thankfully it looks like it's coming to PC, which is great because everything about it sounds awesome.
