    I think she looks great. It's possible colors will be different but I like what I see. Even if this is the final model, we will have to see how she looks rendered and animated in the game engine with better lighting and effects.

    Sometimes I don't understand people.

    Difference here is, when a lot say "something different" but the series icons are being used, you can't really fault people for saying for example she should have blue skin.

    People are entitled to their opinions and I understand Shiva is an FF icon. She can and will evolve though.

    Twenty years ago, on 8 and 16 bit machines, making her blue to symbolize cold or icey made sense because it was simple and developers couldn't do a whole lot in terms of graphics.

    But today is a different story. Graphics are super detailed and complex. Developers can do pretty amazing things.

    Trust me, I totally understand people wanting Shiva to be blue. The character has years of history. But all things change.

    Her skin being more pale and white doesn't bother me at all. Ice is not blue. I have not seen her animated or lighted or with whatever effects she might have. If they can make an effect where her skin looks like its coated in ice I think that would look awesome.

    To each his own though, this is just my $.02.
