Onestep Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Is it just me or is the perspective of the scene where Chrom and Liz wake the Avatar up kind of screwed up? The Avatar is supposed to be lying down, but Liz looks like her head is two feet above you and Chrom literally rams his hand not two inches from your face. Not to mention that shot at the end. The Avatar would have to be a foot to two feet shorter than Chrom and right against his chest for that angle to work at all. I'm not really critising it. Just wondering if I'm going blind or my spatial vision is shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birdy Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 You're not seeing things (well, you are, but you know what I mean ^.^). Everything you see is about half a meter closer as the first person perspective should be I think. That being said, it doesn't bother me at all. I absolutely love the CG's of this game.

CinderSkye Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Half a meter is about 1 foot, 8 inches roughly, btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strunk Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Obviously, it's a subtle nod to the Avatar's ability to see things (in ways) other people can't, such as how he can see enemy weapons from across the map, and how he can see their stats, period. Or it's not that at all, and it's just a mistake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weebos Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 I imagine it is an artistic choice that is not informed by realism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birdy Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 (edited) Half a meter is about 1 foot, 8 inches roughly, btw. Oh yeah, should've use that metric system I guess. Thanks for the additional info! Anyway, that seems a bit too much, guess it's more like just one feet. Obviously, it's a subtle nod to the Avatar's ability to see things (in ways) other people can't, such as how he can see enemy weapons from across the map, and how he can see their stats, period. Or it's not that at all, and it's just a mistake. Hmm, that's an interesting way of looking at it. Didn't think about that to be honest. Though this, I imagine it is an artistic choice that is not informed by realism. is the most likely case, I think.

Melonhead Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 You mean the Avatar can see things from a Third-Person perspective? Good eyes. Very good eyes. I kinda think it was just some kind of perspective mess-up or something, and I didn't find it too troubling. Maybe he didn't fully stand up when he got pulled up?

Gone2Ground Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Maybe he didn't fully stand up when he got pulled up? Seems likely. Like, stooped over to catch his breath or something. Either that or insignificant perspective problem. ...or he's got some weird messed up eye problems, but that would have been brought up in a support.

SPSEliwoodGabriel Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 I don't know what you guys are talking about, I think the perspective works. ... *goes into a dark corner to mope about her short height* I'll probably reach at Chrom's chest IRL...

Ace Tactician Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 I don't know what you guys are talking about, I think the perspective works. I also think the perspective for the opening movie works. I don't think the opening movie scene is messed up at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Book of Ereshkigal Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 It doesn't make sense, but at the same time, if they were being realistic, it would look weird. Ahaha, I'd really like to see the development file for it, so I could look at the camera placement and everything, it'd show how messed up it is XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearemy Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 (edited) I think the movie is pretty good, but Chrom's face when he's pulling you up gets so close that I instinctively think NOW KISS.jpg Not that I mind that. /tehe Edited January 20, 2013 by Chidokyo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not even a height thing. Even if you were the right height for the angle I think I'm seeing, the whole thing just feels wonky. Then again, as people have pointed out, it could just be the Avatar not standing up fully right away or an artistic decision.

B00TE Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Going with the art direction angle. Chrom closeup still makes me laugh, though. Just ripe for exploitation! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking as a fangirl, I call it fanservice for da laydeez. Speaking as a video game player, I can understand why it can make you laugh. Blingee, anyone?

You have no idea how much my sister fangasm'ed at Chrom's ample chest. He smiles at you a second too long, and half a meter too close.

The Pale Shadow Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Maybe it's to give the illusion that the view point for Rufure is weird as he/she is a semi-avatar for the player, who is looking through the screen of the 3DS? Or it could be what others have said in that Rufure hasn't fully stood upright yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarquin Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Ah Chrom The women want him and the men want him. ... WANT TO BE HIM. THE MEN WANT TO BE HIM. A Freudian slip at its finest XD I just thought the somewhat weird angle was to compensate for all the height possibilities; i.e. A shorter Avatar would be standing up fully, taller ones might be only half-upright, etc. Honestly though, I didn't even notice anything was off until I came to this thread.
