I think they should do a major overhaul to the creatures appearance to be on par with the eldritch abomination it's supposed to be. Imagine what can be done with the power of the PS4!

Here's a picture of the first Jenova form you face in battle: Jenova Birth

I also hope in general that they do a better job explaining Jenova, it's nature, and the connection it had with the Ancients, and it's role in the SOLDIER project.

They could even make a scenario that feels like a horror game.....

Like John Carpenter's The Thing.

Because that's exactly what it is.

Bumpers · Dec 9, 2015

They should keep the eye boob.

Xamtheking · Dec 9, 2015

They should make no graphical changes at all in order to accentuate how creepy it is

Rymuth · Dec 9, 2015

Look something that's been designed by Junji Ito.

Golnei · Dec 9, 2015

Sticking to Nomura's own work, some Parasite Eve inspiration would be nice.

mushrambio · Dec 9, 2015

Oh god, I didn't even think about this! She would be terrifying I'm sure. Great OP

ShinMaruku · Dec 9, 2015

Make Jenova look hawt and creepy. Like Honkers.

Hero_of_the_Day · Dec 9, 2015

Curious how they do her with her head cut off. Shit was fucked up.

Explaining away what makes it creepy/interesting is the exact opposite of what they should do.

Jenova is a creature from space that the planet itself is afraid of. Thats all there is to know.

Napalm_Frank · Dec 9, 2015

Something out of Bloodborne. I think Jenova should be by far the most horroresque monster in the game.

Whoa, wasn't aware of his involvement.

Hatty · Dec 9, 2015

I would like to see how this thing looks

Bennettt2 · Dec 9, 2015

I'm happy with what she looked like in Crisis Core. Google Images "Jenova"

BosSin · Dec 9, 2015

I think we are all overlooking the REAL issue here...

What's Don Corneo going to look like?

DiipuSurotu · Dec 9, 2015

Ishida · Dec 9, 2015

Or Hojo.

Glendemonium · Dec 9, 2015

They should make the Jenova fights, or better yet the Weapon fights more akin to Shadow of the Colossus.

FloatOn · Dec 9, 2015

what about ruby and emerald weapon?

I bet those fights are gonna be bonkers

I want him to look exactly like the concept art. Just right amount of cartoony. Close to what they did with Wedge.

Shauni · Dec 9, 2015

My memory of FFVII's story is a little hazy, but what was Jenova suppose to actually be? I've totally forgotten that bit.

Ishida · Dec 9, 2015

I would.

I want them to play this style up to 11 for the remake. It's a silly section so go all out.

mattp · Dec 9, 2015

speaking of jenova, is there actual concept art for what those 3d models from the various jenova fights are based on?
they were always so..abstract looking, i could never tell what it was going for

Prelude · Dec 9, 2015

I'm more interested in how they will handle the Cetra and the fall of Jenova. I really hope they make a lot more for that part.

This is the answer we need.

Also will Knights of the Round summon last over 50 hours just to finish again?

Akuun · Dec 9, 2015

Make it look like some monster out of Bloodborne.

No concept art but:

FF Wiki said:
The Sephiroth Clones were not individual people infected with Jenova's cells but pieces of Jenova floating in air hiding under cloaks in the shapes of people. Each piece was named to be either its hand, thumb, or heart; this is why Cloud refers to Jenova∙BIRTH as the "arm" of Jenova upon its defeat. There were also two more boss fights: one between Cosmo Canyon and Nibelheim, and one in the Temple of the Ancients.

It has been suggested from the material present in the Ultimania Omega that rather than there being several Black Capes, there was just one, Jenova, who was cutting off bits of its body as it journeyed towards Sephiroth until all that remains is a heart. In the original version the party would catch up with the Black Cape in the Whirlwind Maze, and the figure would remove the hood to show it has no face, and then take off the cloak to show it is nothing but Jenova's heart floating midair, the final piece, which would then transform into a monster.

Some kind of malevolent alien entity. They never go into specifics about her origin or specific motivations, just that she wants to fuck shit up.

I think they should leave it at that. Not everything has to be explained, and the real meat of the story is Sephiroth's fucked up interpretation of his duty to his "mother."

So long as they get the music right I don't care.

I don't think there's any concept art for the battle forms themselves, but the similarities with the statue in the reactor suggest that might have been what she was supposed to look like.

Astral Dog · Dec 9, 2015

JENOVA is the true villain of the game.

Lady Siara · Dec 9, 2015

Please make her as grotesque as possible. Really can't wait to see what they make her look like. Go nuts.

I just realized that those are shadows over her eyes and not sunglasses in this image. Guess it's been a while since I've looked.

AgentLampshade · Dec 9, 2015

Oooh, I cannot wait to hear a remix of "Who Are You?" By far the creepiest song in the ost.

Anyway, to answer, I'd like the actual Jenova body to basically be more or less the same. It really nailed the humanoid alien look, even while headless. The bosses should look a bit like Ebrietas, just not quite as tentacly.

Pretty much nailed it. I'm also hoping for some serious atmosphere on the level of Bloodborne for the creepier parts of the game. The mood seems to be pretty on point so far.. I have a decent amount of faith that they'll pull it off pretty well.

The thing about this look, is that really isn't Jenova's "True" appearance, but merely the last form it took, and supposedly that form is in the guise of one of the Cetra.

Like I said, she's The Thing.

Totally. I want to be creeped the fuck out by Jenova.

Should Shinra be modelled after Trump is the real question.

All this talk about Cloud, Barrett, Tifa etc., but what should Jenova look like?
