Crisis Core – Final Fantasy VII – Reunion was launched right now and is a strong remastering/remake of a beloved PSP title. But a minimum of one portray within the new recreation accommodates a li’l one thing further: a Getty Images watermark, implying that the in-game portray was created utilizing a picture preview taken straight from that service’s web site.
In our assessment posted earlier right now, we famous that the brand new remake is a devoted adaptation of the unique PSP recreation, full with flaws that come about from being overly devoted to being an ideal prequel. And like the unique, whereas the primary half or so of the sport is strong, the ending makes for a “disappointing conclusion.” It’s a rattling handsome remake nonetheless. However, we’ve observed that the brand new visuals include a brand new mistake, within the type of a watermark left on a minimum of three cases of an in-game portray.
During chapter eight of the sport, you’ll enter a Shinra mansion. In this very nice-looking and opulent dwelling you’ll discover many fancy work hanging on the partitions. Look carefully and also you’ll uncover these are actual work. Look somewhat nearer and also you’ll clearly see the place Square Enix grabbed the artwork from.
Yup, that’s a giant previous Getty Images watermark proper in the midst of it. I used to be capable of monitor down the precise portray that Square Enix grabbed utilizing our personal Getty account. It’s a bit by artist John Crowther depicting Ludgate Circus in London in 1881.
Kotaku has reached out to Square Enix however didn’t hear again earlier than publication.

It seems that whoever grabbed this picture from Getty—and probably didn’t pay to license it, because the watermark remains to be there—stretched it out and cropped most of its high to make it match within the body. And this isn’t a one-off error. The ensuing portray seems a minimum of 3 times on this space of the sport full with the Getty watermark. Whoops!
This isn’t the primary time a giant Square Enix RPG has shipped with a mistaken watermark included. Kingdom Hearts III additionally included a watermark throughout one cutscene. However, that was a “blink and you’ll miss it moment” and never an easy-to-find portray that seems a number of instances and could be seen clearly by anybody paying consideration. If you need to see this error your self, I’d go to the mansion ahead of later, as I think about Square Enix can be patching it out shortly.
