A mod for Final Fantasy 7 Remake gives Barret’s look a bit of a style change to make him more resemble Yoshitaka Amano’s art of him.
We’ve all seen the beautiful art across various Final Fantasies from Amano, which started all the way back with the first game. The cover art from back in the days when he was still doing it didn’t much resemble the art of the game itself, but there was nothing quite like it on store shelves at the time. Now, a modder has taken it upon themselves to make Barret look more like Amano’s take on the character (thanks, Kotaku).
It’s safe to see that Amano’s approach to Barret is wildly different from original character designer Tetsuya Nomura’s style (who also just so happened to have revealed Kingdom Hearts 4 recently). Not only that, the only art available of Barret in Amano’s art style is from the waist up, as shown on the page for the mod for reference, making things a little extra challengin.
