I suppose it's hard to maintain that "hero/heroine" look without having the character resembling that of past characters.

A whole new revolutionary idea could be to model the characters on everyday people with the usual blemishes and not having that look of perfection that FF characters seem to have.

I do wonder how well that would be received, however.

Are we ready to give up the FF character stereotypes for something radically different? I'm probably not!

I really didn't saw it as a FFVII remake... well until i saw the LIGHTNING and CLOUD pics. Very similar.

im sorry but where in the world did u get those images of the newer games, This is the first time im seeing them

I usually use this site for my news:

I'm torn between hating its unoriginailty and loving the FF7 similarity! This world is filled with confusion!!! ARGH

hopefully that is the only major similarities, it would be soo dissapointing to be playing throu a carbon copy of VII

Thanks.
It is just crazy how similar they look.

I also hope that the similarities are just in the designs, as that is what this thread is about. The rest of the game, from the fmvs at least...look quite amazing. So, I'm hopeful that it'll be a good game.

I'm also hopeful that Nomura will get his head out of his arse and try something different for a change. xD

after 13 games it must be hard to think of completely original characters
