Cloud has a more detailed face and hair plus his eye colour is more greenish/blue.

You'd buy...the statues?
That's the 3d models done in little statues, not a game.
You could make your own papercraft versions if you wanted:
My dream open world RPG would have everything look like papercraft.
That model for the detailed version show's how much better looking the clothing and details are. The belt and straps are clearer and actually have the image on the belt, his chest and arms are more toned and buff, his boots have the zipper, his metal plate on his shoulder is more detailed and his wrist band too. Then the images I posted show the details on his face.
Pretty cool.
Pretty cool.

Wait, what? Why wasn't I informed of this?A bit off-topic, but I've never seen this image before:
Apparently, they also played around with making Final Fantasy VII isometric without rendered backgrounds. Quite charming.

Yes, it's done in a silly manner. My point is that the sprite in its animated form wasn't so ambiguous that you couldn't figure out the mannerism they were doing, and I mentioned the "shame on you finger wagging" context as a reference to how a Westerner could recognize it.
In Japanese context, it's probably something you would see in an anime where silly stuff is happening.

Holy shit, I've never seen that either... would kill for a brand new FF to look like that (and it's a shame all the 2D cellphone spinoffs of the FF series have such awful sub-RPGMaker-grade 2D artwork).

Yeah waste of resources I guess. Needed them for those sweet sweet backgrounds ~ ~
This is exactly what I want the HD remake to be. This and an updated translation!
I want them all. O_O
Damn 3D printers, they cost thousands. D:

After all these years, I never, ever, noticed it. Wow.
Chrono Trigger and Seiken Densetu 3 can each be considered the best looking game on SNES. Mindblowing in fact.
They definitely had a rep of making graphically impressive games on prior hardware.
