Do people really think this looks worse? It looks so much better than the original crappy models.

Soulless.

The original models were low poly enough that your imagination (yes people used to have that) filled in the blanks.

This bait thread will hit the bump limit, you just know.

I've heard this a lot and I completely disagree, I think they are too much for your imagination to fix and too shit to stand on their own, they just look terrible, 8 did a much better job.

>>12713610

It's true though. The less detail something has the more opportunity
your imagination has to fill it in. When I played through FF7 as a kid and then replayed it as an adult, there were things I remember that simply didn't exist because my stupid child brain made them up.
>>
>>12713557
Yes. What the fuck is this.
>>
No, because I always hated the overworld models in FFVII, they were trying to do chibi in 3d but failed utterly with it.
Just look at 8 which ran away from it and 9 which tried doing it right.
I never heard anyone defend those models from 7 until way after the fact like 15 years minimum after the fact.

ff7's original models are basically digital kabuki. the characters are meant to be symbolic actors on a painted stage. the goofy chibi models + pre-rendered backgrounds give it this surreal theatrical vibe that the realistic models kind of erase. that's how it felt to me at the time at least, playing as a teenager.

They don't think because they are sheeps playing as they are ordered to instead of playing under their own rules.
So anything that goes against sheep mentality is bad for them even if it looks better or is more fun then the base game.

>>12713557
I pounded nails into my balls. Do people really think this feels worse? It feels so much better than the original crappy balls without nails in them.

Tell us more troon sheep.

>>12713647
>It's true though. The less detail something has the more opportunity
Yes, I am agreeing with this, my argument is the models in FF7 are at a strange middle ground of too much and not enough detail where where they end up looking incredibly ugly. For the world models that is.
>>
>>12713557
It just looks very homosexuel

Look at this little one calling you sheeps lol
Why don't you use more recent npc equivalent, buddy. Doesn't matter. Don't be late for din din!

>>12713557
Oh fuck this is godawful. Like the original looked bad for 1997 but this looks bad for eternity.

>>12713663
It wasn't necessary to defend them because no one was attacking them.

My only real problem with the FFVII models is the popeye arms and block hands, those aren't part of being chibi they're just weird.
>>
>>12713557

This is how it looks on a crt with composite. No modding needed.
>>
>>12713557
Damn this shit is the dlsss5 equivalent of retro games.
Remove the identity and soul of something and make it generic ai looking slop digestible for zoomers.

>>12713557
If hypothetically this wasnt a bait thread id tell the earnest OP that they should use what they like and accept that they are stupid.

The Popeye arms help make body language more noticeable when put against the pre-rendered backgrounds.

If you played both you'd realize the models in OP's pic has the same level of communication through body language because we aren't playing in 240p anymore. Yes, they chose those models because screen space is at a premium at that PSX resolution.
I'm '80s, I beat it twice before the PS2 released, I've seen the original. My current playthrough I'm using standard models, but I usually use the ones in OP these days and prefer them.

And also ultimately look goofier than the lowpoly chibis -- because they are emoting like characters designed to be lowpoly chibis without being such.

I feel like just having big hands would achieve that without everyone looking like an amputee.

there is no bump limit on vr, n00b

Funny that nobody who uses these mods ever shows what they look like animated. I wonder why that is.

Genuine retardation.
Like the people who post the most generic baseline LORA-slop and swear it's great.
>>
>>12713557
It looks stupidly out of place and awful. Yes, way more than the OG designs.

I suppose it's about the directors/artists intent. So what if it "looks better" when they deliberately did not give the characters those proportions in the game, unlike FF8. Why not re-edit novels or re-edit movies and say they're "better" as well? The writer/director is the writer/director for a reason.
