This is what Square thinks a dog looks like

[Linnaete]

I always knew that Lightning Returns looked a bit ruff around the edges. I mean people weren't expecting Collar Duty in terms of dog models and rendering, but FF fans aren't even properly getting a bone here, but instead just the short end of the stick. Paw effort.

Barking mad.

Maybe that's a common breed in Japan

Much polygons

Such deformed

Many woofs

Wow

Barking mad.

I see what you did there.

On a serious note, I'm so far not impressed with the media/image quality for LR. This one is a good indication of such, too.

I like it. It reminds me of the bandersnatches from FF9 . With the curly tail and...deformed face.

That's the ONLY pun you found?

So that's where they copied it from. Nice catch. Haha.

It's the only one I really lol'd at.


Is there a cat image, too?

Yer it may not look that great but am I going to be looking at these dogs during my game time? No sure as hell not. Trust me each installment had their rough patches, mainly the biggest one that was awful was the first time being in the jungle terrain with vanielle and sazh and the grass texture was this stretched out mess. Id take the background dog then see something I will see a lot of under my feet look disgusting.

that model looks like something a college student would produce, that low poly, that terrible texture

It's so angular.

I agree with Greeny in that it looks like it could belong in FFIX, and graphically it does. I'm surprised that this is rendered with PS3 graphics. The ears look like they could take an eye out, and the tail looks like it could out-punch the Hulk.

In fact the entire dog looks as if someone has printed out a cardboard dog template, fitted it together, and then plonked it in the yard to confuse the neighbours.

It has got a cute smile though. I'd forgive it for that. Like the little sheep in FF13, this particular universe seems to enjoy having cute little variants of earthly animals hopping and skipping about.

This dog is blessed in that its eyes are so small and his neck is so non-existent that he couldn't turn around and look to see how the rest of his body is rendered.

That is exactly what it reminded me of too. It definitely looks like something out of FFIX and to be honest the graphics on it are about as good.

I've already beaten the game and there are several dogs in the game. That being said, You would have to go out of your way to change the camera angle and get a close up like that. As you're playing, they look fine.
