>Left Slick refine design giving a sense of hard authority. Combat style is simple, direct, and blunt like him. Relies on lackey to do most of the dirty work. Absolute boss. >Right Flamboyant faggot who wheres a Skirt of FUCKIN belts. Combat involve dancing like faggot. Belt FLAIL around him as he spin like ballot dancer which only enforces the faggotry. Dude can toe to toe a SOLDIER CAUSE FUCK YOU AND YOUR POWERLEVEL. Generic Anime Villian
Cloud isn't a soldier, he's a regular dude who got pumped with lifestream roids
Nathaniel Long
damn, OP is making some really good points. what do we do now, remakebros???
Landon Morgan
He's very /fa/
Isaiah Fisher
>people are actually unironically going to act like the Rufus fight in the original game is better just because SOUL MUH SOUL GUYS SOUL XD
Robert Morgan
left >sucked 10 cocks right >enjoyed it
Mason Parker
He was
Jonathan Watson
>Combat involve dancing like faggot. Whats the problem? Dance fighting is cool
Xavier Thompson
nomura is kubo of vidya
Cooper Smith
Left is wearing an overcoat over a labcoat. A waist length double breasted overcoat with a breast pocket? Get the fuck out of here OP both designs are retarded.
Brandon Campbell
I like the original design more, but the fight was a slog and I'm glad he's going full DMC this time.
Damn that fight's pretty cool. Guess I'll either wait for PS5 or PC release
Brayden Roberts
yes now shut the fuck up
Matthew Gomez
He looks just like Ravus from FFXV
Jackson Wright
and he ended up better than everyone else, including those in Soldier.
Austin Roberts
>Rufus more like Dufus. best gaming decision I've made in a while is to mod the PC version with Reunion for the more accurate translation.
Joshua White
Cloud has S-type Jenova cells that puts him on the same level as SOLDIER (or above, probably, since he beats Sephiroth) at least in terms of strength. Before Crisis sadly showed he was prodigy with a sword even as a grunt when he picks up a sword and uses it in one random mission.
Leo Harris
>Dude can toe to toe a SOLDIER CAUSE FUCK YOU AND YOUR POWERLEVEL
But this is also true of the original. He fights Cloud and survives.
Colton Peterson
Jesus christ why is he physically incapable of adding belts to everything. He always has a neat design in mind then absolutely butt fucks it.
Dominic Taylor
it probably stems from repressed memories of his father beating him with one but clearly not hard enough
Christian Price
of not adding belts*
Julian Morales
If he was a prodigy with a sword then how come he washed the fuck out of his SOLDIER class? On a side note the SOLDIER sword is pretty cool, odd that they didn't model it in-game and instead went for that weird lance that probably wasn't considerably lower poly, given that the concept art for it existed at the time.
It dates back to the PS2 era where people called him out on putting too many belts on his designs and he responded by adding even more belts, because Nomura is a childish asshole. You could take it as a chad move if most of his designs didn't suck, particularly in the FFX era.
Kevin Hall
Wait, I thought he was just wearing a slick white suit. He was wearing a lab coat underneath a regular coat?
There's a canonical evidence but I'm pretty sure Cloud either didn't get accepted for SOLDIER because he's mentally weak or that he wouldn't be able to handle the SOLDIER infusion process (dude suffers from Mako Poisoning twice)
Lucas Diaz
His head looks too big. His proportions are way off.
Xavier Miller
no canonical evidence, I meant.
Ryder Jenkins
He's not a SOLDIER but the reunion experiment of injecting him with Jenova cells is basically the same treatment for the SOLDIER procedure except deliberately given to weak individuals who are likely to literally lose their minds.
Christopher Reyes
left looks like my dad right looks like a anime fantasy
Wyatt Brown
Nomura is such a spiteful little weenie.
Lincoln Ward
I would love to get the script for this game, becasuse I am sure Cloud explained why he never got into SOLDIER. Yeah, something about him didn't make the cut
Isaiah Wilson
It's a trenchcoat UNDER the suit
Jackson Hall
That's still dumb. I'm starting to think Nomura always sucked at designs
Mason Myers
The left looks like he's 75% leg
Nicholas Scott
Good point. Well said.
Ian Rogers
I couldn't make it all the way through. This is fucking horrible. Why give him a skirt? Fucking retards.
Everyone was all leg in the original’s art. Just look at Barret.
Jack Collins
Hopefully next year when PC version hits and mods start rolling out the ones fixing everyone's styling and clothing will make the game a lot more bearable.
Adam Bennett
It's kinda dumb but still nowhere near modern Nomura. It's somewhat passable fantasy dumb, exaggerated and retarded but it gives it a bit more flair. Something snapped at the end of the ps1 era/early ps2 and he just started going FULL retard, overdesign was the name of the game, even in old designs, he doubled down on every single problem and the designs went from dumb but kinda fun and memorable to just absolutely retarded
>Something snapped at the end of the ps1 era/early ps2 and he just started going FULL retard, overdesign was the name of the game, Sakaguchi left, nomura moved up the ladder and had nobody breathing down his neck anymore.
Julian Martinez
>doesn't do his intro speech >everybody leaves before he even says anything Oh for fuck sake is every single instance of establishing a character PURPOSELY removed from this remake? It has to be on purpose at this point, right?
Samuel Barnes
>Slick refine design nigga he wearing 2 coats
Matthew Butler
I agree
Ryder Long
>Dude can go toe to toe with a SOLIDER How do you know he isn’t loaded with Materia? Same goes for the Turks.
Nolan Flores
>how come he washed the fuck out of his SOLDIER class Failed pysche eval. Lacked mental fortitude and wouldn't have been willing to follow Shinra orders without question.
>Rufus is the least fucked up thing about nu-FF7 Being totally devoid of any character whatsoever and having no introduction, and no explanation of his motivation with a generic James Bond villain "A new beginning!!!" is the least fucked up thing? Is it that bad?
Adrian Long
Wow! When I was a kid the dude from that photo always looked really badass and mature to me, like a total player and his bitch was hottt. Seeing this now as an adult, he looks like a pushover and his girl is a total dog of a woman.
I think he shows more character just through all the high quality animations than words from the original ever could.
Michael Anderson
Have you not seen the webm threads? If not, prepare your anus, user.
Dominic Lee
You know what this ff7 remake reminds me off. the DmC reboot.
Cameron Jenkins
>Left A jacket on top of a labcoat >Right >A jacket on top of a gown
Jacob Ward
Damn, they really ruined Rufus.
Rufus is one of the coolest Nomura design too, all he has is to wear pants, wtf?
Isaac Allen
>talking about his design >not the scene where he uses his shotgun to rocket jump
Tyler Davis
I always like JRPG characters who are wearing expensive equipment but have puny actual stats. Too bad you only really know when they explicitly say "wtf i have the freshest gear but you beat me anyway".
James Robinson
Gwen is cute. CUTE! I wish there was more art of her as just gwen and not in that stupid costume
Levi Jenkins
It was stated that SOLDIER tend to die from celluar degeneration do to the enhancements. If they don't perish on a mission.
So everyone is probably suffering from some form of mako poisoning. I think he wasn't mentally hard enough.
Joshua Thomas
So they made him a tranny?
Thomas Martinez
rent-free
Isaac Gutierrez
this one is so painful to look at
Julian Baker
>a Skirt of FUCKIN belts >look again >he really does have a skirt of belts Huh.
