Probably some artist worked really hard on that face, but it looks like one of those models that come in free asset bundles.
 
Does she also listen to Linkin Park on her phone?

Everyone in this game looks like some unused background NPC they recycled from some other project
 
Maybe I'm alone but I can't wait to this play this. The demo was fun (albeit sloppy) and I think this is gonna be an easy game to get right into. We need more fun AA productions like this.
 
I've got that "hard pass" in my mind right now, but I am awaiting for this game to get closer to release and get some polish. What engine are they using? It looks so dated.
 
1) "re-imagining" of Final Fantasy 1
2) Has a fifth party member

I can totally see the meeting where this design was approved. They probably started off with an interesting design and stripped everything away that might offend someone, like color, beauty, or personality. This character is the equivalent of a slice of white bread.

It's Dark Souls with the Final Fantasy job system and leveling. I'm super excited. I thought the demo was great.

I hope they bring familiar areas and music from the original Final Fantasy as well.
 
Nice to see JRPG are still generic AF written by 10-year olds.
Blame Nomura

Seriously though. The guy is such a shitty writer, I dunno how he keeps being allowed to make stories. Nomura is the perfect example of The Peter Principle in action, since he should have just stayed as a character designer/artist. He has no business running game development or creative direction.

I mean its nothing like FF1, as barebones as the original was. From atmosphere, to gameplay, to the few storybits. Technically even to characters as the 4 Warriors aren't even implied to be from Cordelia, so Garland was just a random kidnapper to them when first meeting and beating him and Chaos is a late game twist right before the boss battle. Fuck the ending implies Garland is reformed and becomes friends with the Warriors after the time-loop is broken. So, no idea when this story became all about hatred. Not like we're talking about the Emporer in FF2 here.

So yeah, at this point you just have to think about this being some random, drug-induced fever-dream of a developer and just get along for the crazy ride. This isn't a re-imagining of anything or maybe it actually is exactly this. A re-imagining in every sense of the word.

Going by the demo I can already tell that this isn't a story driven experience. It's first and foremost a dungeon crawler. So if you have some crazy thoughts of this being a cinematic deep story driven experience you should stop right now.
