Fran looks the exact same as FFXII Fran. It's bizarre.

The Viera models probably aren't ready yet. I wouldn't worry about it.

Fran probably does give people a bit of a look as to what we should expect though. The model's there and all. As to the OP, no, it didn't bother me. It also wasn't copy > pasted from one game to another. They had to give Fran a new model to be put into the game.
