The rare case where the next generation is uglier
i dont know. FF7 has a lot of cool pre rendered backgrounds and they still have a lot of appeal. and 8 and 9 look pretty cool in their own way. i would take the aesthetics of 7, 8 and 9 over 4, 5 and 6 easily.
>comparing the final cutscene to the opening cutscene
>>736642126That's a fucking retarded take. Nomura is literally the father of sovlless japslop.
>>736642068>rare
>>736642194Your father is the father of a retard with bad opinions. He's right. The pre-Nomura FFs have bland and uninspired aesthetics.
>>736642068VII-IX all had beautiful backgrounds though. Plus they had much more variety in their environments. In IV-VI every town looked nearly identical.
>>736642140That's even worse. Opening cutscenes are designed to wow and hook the player within the first 5 minutes so they tend to be way more high effort than everything else. Using another FF as an example, FFX's opening cutscene has way more going on than almost every other cutscene in the game. Like we literally don't even see a frontal fullbody shot of Lulu because of belts, but the first cutscene has water physics, physical contact, a giant crowd of people running, and buildings getting warped by gravity.
>>736642068FF7 literally does not look like that, only the incompetent PC port does. In the PS1 version, the shading on the 3D models is much better so that they mesh with the backgrounds, and the backgrounds are also the same resolution as the 3D models. The face textures are better as well.Basically you need to use this as the FF6 screenshot for a fair comparison.
>>736642068I don't agree. FF7's world models look pretty primitive by today's standards, but the character sprite art from the older games definitely wasn't top of the line sprite art. I'd say they're at the very least comparable, and that doesn't take into account the fact that 3d graphics were novel at the time. FF7 also has significantly more detailed models for battles and some really good looking static backgrounds.
I was more annoyed at the downgrade in gameplay. Like FF was nothing amazing to begin with, but it was kind of trying. Kind of. Then it just gave up and gave us the most simplistic, borderline cutscene-tier "combat" encounters that are FF7, with the illusion of choice/customization via the goofy ass Materia system.The franchise still hasn't recovered, or even tried to be a video game since 1997.
>>736642068pic unrelated
>>736642068Man, that early 3d rendering is ass, it only ever looks good from a high aerial shot but up close the details and complexity are shit.The absolutely dogshit overworld models being seen up close doesn't help either.
>>736642068You wouldn't get it.
i just started playing and ti seem comfy to me

FF7 was a game that blew it's load early on, after the first disc, the cgi really drops in quality and has a lot of muddy and ugly renders later on.
>>736643014What do you call this sort of cope? First gen 3d looked terrible, we knew it looked terrible, but we played it anyway because its still fun vidya
>>736642194>Nomura is literally the father of sovlless japslopnigger look into who designed the monsters that you liked in ff6guaranteed they're all nomura
3d will never be as good as 2d.>costs more>takes longer to made>looks shittier3d literally killed our medium.
>>736643014I played on original hardware 3 years ago, and even though I agree that it looks much better than the PC port, the character models and enemy designs are all pretty ugly and janky. The prerendered background are nice though.
No one in the previous generation had big titties, so it's automatically worse
>>736642068Man why are 2D sprites so fucking ugly? It was the only reason why I couldnt get into FF6.
>>736646193The monsters....? You're a fucking disingenuous idiot.
>>736642068Why the fuck was its budget so big?
