I am pretty excited about this considering my only experience with this is Advent Children and Kingdom Hearts.


The characters and setting seem very exciting and I am looking forward to getting to play this.
 
What changes specifically are you afraid of for these two characters?

That with Cloud they'll stick with his sullen, depressed personality from AC since it's the one more familiar to people in the last decade.

That with Tifa they'll pander to the horny fanbase with jiggle physics and camera angles.
 
The very FFVIIR trailer already had the most realistic looking style in the series so far next to FFXV/ersus. I hope the characters will look more like those FFXV renders.

It can look more realistic, but that doesn't mean that Cloud is going to suddenly look like a real dude. Barret may very well look more realistic as he already had much more of a "real" appearance in Advent Children, same goes for Cid. But Cloud is much more stylized than both of them. And as others have said, he's supposed to be really pretty. That's just who he is.
 
Fuck it. Just keep it chibi and make a super high quality model like this.

But he was supposed to be sullen and depressed in the movie? Lol. Wasn't that the basic set up for the plot? If they make him depressed in 7, there's no real continuation onto the novels or the movie.

I'd like to think Nomura remembers what he wrote for his own backround story :P

And with Tifa....i expect atleast a bit of fanservice from them just due to being an attractive female wearing that, but i'm sure they know it would not go over well if it was done in an obnoxious and demeaning way. After all, they did redesign her with the much cooler AC design.

Try not to worry too much!

The thing is, he becomes sullen and depressed everywhere. He's sullen and depressed it both Dissidia and all Kingdom Hearts. Heck, even the general populace remember him as such, as demonstrated by the oft-repeated "emo" accusation. I can understand the apprehension.
 
Too soft. They can't get away with too much Anime-like designs for FFVIIR. Western mainstream wouldn't take it well. FFXV already is risking a lot with its main cast's designs.

I hope Roberto Ferrari has enough input for FFVIIR. I think some of the more "manly" looking FFXV characters from the E3 trailer are his designs:

Roberto Ferrari also designed Cidney.
 
And that's why he perfectly passes as a woman when crossdressing, cause he's so masculine looking! Okay hun.

Yes, I can't think of a single time in fiction when a man dressed as a woman and fooling the bad guys has very obviously NOT been a woman or extremely effeminate man.

Indeed, that is never a thing that happens.

You trying to tell me this looks like a gritty, masculine man? He's always been a pretty boy.

Feel free to explain to us how Cloud is not effeminate at all.

I didn't say he had 0 femininity.

I said look at almost every single time a guy dresses as a woman and gets away with it in fiction.

Are you submitting the notion that none of that is humor, and that all of it is because all of those characters could pull of being a woman if they put on a wig and a dress?

I'm asking.

You literally said "Yes, I can't think of a single time in fiction when a man dressed as a woman and fooling the bad guys has very obviously NOT been a woman or extremely effeminate man."

Cloud IS effeminate so your point is moot...

You're saying that the reason he made it through the dress segment was because of his femininity, then?

You believe that those segments lack humor and are super serious?

Edit: Also, what do you believe about when that trope is used in other works of fiction? I've mentioned it twice, you've come in and responded twice, but not really addressed that. Do you feel that if a man pulls that off in fiction, he must be overwhelmingly effeminate?

That's the question I'm just asking.
