Yeah, Aeris isn't much better. I do wish she'd resemble herself a little more. They could have at least kept her lips and brows the same - I feel like they were trying to make them both prettier and it came out a little generic.

Yuffie worked, though.

Yep, that's what I came here to say. P:

When I first played, I thought she was Hispanic.

Um, what? That was kinda the point of making the FF7 characters more realistic.

Here's an idea, have someone draw a charicature of you and see how photorealistic it is.

[identity profile] glamourcorpse.livejournal.com 2010-09-11 09:31 pm (UTC)(link)
This. It doesn't make any sense. In the first she's a really cartoony character in the second she's what humans look like. (Oh the hair is darker) Maybe I'm missing something. Is it the lack of suspenders?

[identity profile] caterfree10.livejournal.com 2010-09-11 11:10 pm (UTC)(link)
THIS. There is a reason people drawn in anime style rarely look ANYTHING like realistic people (I can think of only two, ad even then, STYLIZATION, STYLIZATION EVERYWHERE, so yeah). Someone clearly needs to take an art class.

[identity profile] phoeliac.livejournal.com 2010-09-11 09:23 pm (UTC)(link)
I...liked it? I mean, she looks like her to me. Only without massive eyes.

[identity profile] leafish.livejournal.com 2010-09-11 09:24 pm (UTC)(link)
she's way sassier and more stylised in that first picture. I like her better that way.

[identity profile] asylumiss.livejournal.com 2010-09-11 09:40 pm (UTC)(link)
I would have liked it if the Advent Children version had more muscle on her. Her arms looked so skinny.

[identity profile] box-life.livejournal.com 2010-09-11 11:36 pm (UTC)(link)
This. Mind, her arms and legs are really skinny in the original game, too, but there's no way a lady that does that much damage pretty much just with her fists (and who has boobs that huge!) has such skinny limbs.

thene: Happy Ponyo looking up from the seabed (innacurate genetics)

[personal profile] thene 2010-09-11 09:42 pm (UTC)(link)
I had a massive case of this problem when it came to Sephiroth, but none of the others bugged me all that much. Tifa was a bit of a let-down though. Way too frail-looking in the limbs department.

I always thought she was an average-looking white girl in the game.

So I was pretty surprised that her AC went with a sexy-Asian-fashion-idol look.

C'mon! At least give Tifa her thick, brown hair and not that stringy black mess. I know hair is hard to animate, but her dolphin-tail was one of her trademarks. And no, I don't care how silly the dolphin-tail would have looked on a more realistic model!

(Anonymous) 2010-09-11 09:48 pm (UTC)(link)
...seriously? Aside from the Asianification, I don't think it was that bad.

Advent Children updated ALL of the characters to the extent that they no longer resembled their original selves.

Just got to take it with a pinch of salt.

AC isn't even canon in my eyes anyway :)

[identity profile] ginzai.livejournal.com 2010-09-11 10:06 pm (UTC)(link)
None of them really look the same to me, personally, but I mostly enjoy the new designs. What bothered me more with Tifa in AC was her change in attitude, especially at the end of the game. She went from being Tifa to generic anime cheerleader, all "he's got to do this himself!" and whatnot. The change in her psyche irritated me more than any update to her looks.

The one who really seemed off to me though was Red XIII. He just didn't look right at all, but his model must have been the most difficult by far. I think Barrett and Cid probably came off the best for me.

[identity profile] andromeda-2.livejournal.com 2010-09-11 10:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Only problem I have with the redesigns is that they seemed a bit bland and less...well, colorful I suppose. Other than that, I don't really mind them. Tifa could have done with a little more muscles on her arms, though.

(Anonymous) 2010-09-11 10:30 pm (UTC)(link)
But at least the updated design is pretty, unlike the original, imho. Same goes for Aerith. And Cloud (AC version is SO PRETTY).

(Anonymous) 2010-09-11 10:37 pm (UTC)(link)
The original art style was anime as hell. So yeah, when going for a realistic approach they are going to look completely different.

(Anonymous) 2010-09-11 11:20 pm (UTC)(link)
I was disappointed by how boring all the characters looked in AC. These are not the people I remember and that is not the world I remember. Why is everything so gray and lifeless and dull? Where's the colorful world I remember from the game? :(

lol WHAT?
right, because most real people have no nose, huge eyes with no pupils, and chins that could put your eye out.

[identity profile] shampayn.livejournal.com 2010-09-12 12:59 am (UTC)(link)
i don't think anyone looked very much like their game design, but they all looked good. i love both the game and film designs.

[identity profile] mrtoulouse.livejournal.com 2010-09-12 03:17 am (UTC)(link)
Huh? I'm sorry she now looks more like a real person?

Personally I find there's a pretty good resemblance, nothing that wouldn't be expected from going from a stylised drawing to something more realistic.

(Anonymous) 2010-09-12 04:33 am (UTC)(link)
Not familiar w/the games enough to actually care, but...

Sounds to me like OP has gotten so brainwashed by anime-style versions of girls, maybe their perception of what actual human beings look like is skewed beyond repair. Seriously? You don't see the resemblance because the one on the left has freakishly huge eyes and tiny every-other-feature. Actual human beings don't look like that. If you translate the exaggerated idea of the person in the left illustration into something that was meant to be more realistic, yep - the one on the right just about hits the mark.

I pretty feel the same way about all the characters, tbqh. Except for maybe Barret cuz I found him kinda sexy with his AC look but not so much in the OG *shallow*

I think what really bothered me was the lack of differentiation between the characters. Everyone had very perfect looking features that it started making the characters look eerily similar. Then again, this IS Final Fantasy we're talking about...

To be fair, I think they made the characters look LOADS better when they weren't in their full FMV glory. I really liked how the characters looked in Crisis Core and Kingdom Hearts for example *shrug*
