Looked like fucking play-dough. They had hooves instead of hands. https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/2/7/0/AAfdTjAAEd9G.png And I'm even more baffled that this was done on purpose... For anyone who praises this look, it's obvious that it looked bad because they never made characters look like this again. The only character who looks okay with hooves is Barret and that's because he already has a square head and has a gun arm. Lmao. <cite>PenultmateGohan posted [p:973424344] in We are luc...

saspa 05/13/23 9:35:47 AM #21:	Definitely impressive, we owe early 3d everything we have today. That being sad I loathe pre-rendered backgrounds. The fact that the game was self-aware enough to have a giant hand point at Cloud wherever he was just proves that, I'm thankful they had it though. Still remember being downright stuck in the junkyard or something other place where I had no idea what was meant to be depth perception and where to go. I like the Lego blocky characters now but I won't pretend I didn't complain to my friend when I first played the game and was shocked, especially after expectations being built up when FF 7 had had like 10 years of fanboying prior to finally being able to play it and not to mention the compilation of ff 7 going strong during that time. But truly ps2 was the perfect point of gaming where 3d was perfected and gaming could start experimenting and expanding. Too bad we didn't get 3 FFs back-to-back during that era but oh well. --- http://i.imgur.com/0UFI0T9.jpg <cite>saspa posted [p:973444318] in We are luc...

PenultmateGohan 05/15/23 7:50:41 AM #49:	[LFAQs-redacted-quote] It all goes back to your bad reading comprehension. This is what you understood from what was said. However, what you can understand isn't the height of reality but rather it's a lot closer to the floor, for example. 'Even' for its time, refers to the fact that while, yes, it did have "good" graphics for its time, the word "even" is there because, objectively, it still looks like shit to me (character models only, not including battle models or environments) due to the art direction/graphic design for those particular models being bad. The hooves for hands wasn't a technical limitation but rather it was chosen on purpose. And why am I saying the art direction specifically? Because even if this game came out on the PS2, they had every intention of making Cloud look like a deformed Popeye Smurf person as visible in one of the concept sketches for the game. Like another user said, it was done to maintain the 2D style that FF was known for, but to make it 3D. And it looks horrible. <cite>PenultmateGohan posted [p:973479506] in We are luc...
