The lack of fidelity hurts it more than anything else.


It's stylized like a lot of enemies in this game (and the series overall really). Very large with crazy muscle definition. Snarling face with fangs baring. A fearsome fiend reminiscent of medieval/renaissance depictions of monsters.
Makes sense to me.

Very much in the realm of Yoshitaka Amano creature designs.



Well that makes sense then.

The lack of detail is amazing.
Look at that "mane"... like the thing is made out of clay.

Yeah. It's the same issue with Ramuh.
Making the hair a solid piece helps with processing, but it doesn't look so nice. Especially sense we already have models with more believable hair already.
