FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE - ALL ENEMIES COMPARISON - ORIGINAL VS REMAKE

[@Dr0dd]

That makes me appreciate both the art direction on the original models to make such iconic looking designs with relatively simple graphics and that they managed to translate even the more absurd details into HD.

[@andreseh87]

Just shows how imaginative the original designs were. Every time you saw a new enemy pop up in Remake I lit up and thought "it's that guy!" awesome!

[@MrVoland44]

i think hardest work were for Remake designers. cus they should make more realistic and detailed design, but at same time stay same thing. this is insane how well it was implemented without actually redesigning

well, yeah everyone sort of has an imagination at that age to visualize how we want it to look. The simple graphics back in the day was in a sense so abstract we imagined the look of the characters and world to be realistic in our head. Now it's manifested into this remake thankfully.

It's like looking at a professional artist's redraw of his child's art

[@hsv7ltrify]

I do agree they are damn near perfect! Correct me if you think differently. But SOME old animations looks more frantic/aggressive. And a little less balanced in scale. Like some of the cheesy weapons stood out more before, which I liked. Eg. Soldier operator/smogger. Maybe by design to give a more intense feel, which the remakes combat system makes up for.
