Does this bother anyone else?

I know it a ps1 game and blah blah crappy graphics blah but..couldn't they have made an effort to make hands? Not giant blobs?

The figures themselves are all wacky but nothing bothers me like the hands. How does Cloud hold a sword with those things? I think Tifa is the only one with an advantage here...

Don't get me wrong, I love VII. I just wish the characters had something remotely similar to hands.

Dude I'm totally with you! Have you ever noticed how when Cloud's holding his sword with two hands it kind of wobbles? Maybe because he's holding it with his two stubs! It would be similar to holding a sword with your elbows. Good job, Square!

Nice idea for a topic though, this did bother me too while I was playing!

for real. the graphics are a huge step up from VI but...so much worse than VIII. They could have at least made the stumps smaller, to look more like hands and less like extra heads on the ends of their arms. I dunno how anyone can be romantic in that world, imagine trying to feel someone up with those suckers.
 
Well have you seen Tifa's jugs? Maybe they're just big because they're hands are big. Kind of the same reason why gorilla's nostrils are so big - because they have big fingers. LOL

I never thought of it that way!! :hmmm: Huge jugs for huge stumps. Still doesn't explain why everyone must have hands like that. It just seems like holding any type of weapon would be impossible unless it was strapped on super tight.
 
Thats what she said.

If you get the pc version, theres a patch you can put on to make them look like they do in battle. SO then you don't have to see the stumps. Or do they have them in battle too? Idk....
 
I don't think this ever bothered me.. I do remember making note of it and laughing about it with my little brother when we were younger, but at that time the graphics were revolutionary and I was so enthralled by the wonder of that game that something like this was a speck of dirt on my black shirt. Now this love is replaced by nostalgia, which is just as good.
 
Meds, it may affect me differently because I didn't actually play VII until recently, I played a lot of others before it. So instead of nostalgia or excitement over good graphics it's just...disturbing and hilarious.
 
Quite frankly this is a game where the main character has spikey yellow hair that's probably a foot tall in the game.. AND THE HANDS ARE WHAT CONCERN YOU?

this is true...they just stuck out to me so much more absurdly than the rest.


and Deadfantasy, I still love the game too. A lot :awesome:
 
Always here to help out point out the obvious. :monster:

It's actually weird, I never really focused on the no hands as much as I did of their pencil thin forearms. What's up with that?
 
Those bother me quite a bit too. I think its the contrast between the two, really. It's just wrong.
 
The thing that disturbed me the most was a close up of Cloud's face when your running around. His face is so still, and all the features of his face are flat around his perfectly round head...
