Crisis Core - Final Fantasy VII - Reunion, a new RPG remake by Square Enix, appears to use artwork that was copied from the Getty Images website
Today saw the release of Crisis Core - Final Fantasy VII - Reunion, a competent remake/remaster of a well-liked PSP game. The watermark for Getty Images suggests that the in-game painting was made from an image preview copied from that service's website, but at least one painting in the new game has a little bit more.
The new remake is a true reproduction of the original PSP game, complete with problems that result from being excessively devoted to being a perfect precursor, as we mentioned in our review published earlier today. It's a really good-looking remake, but much like the original, the finale is a "disappointing conclusion" even though the game's first half or so is solid. We have discovered a new error with the updated aesthetics, namely a watermark that has been left on at least three different occurrences of an in-game artwork.
A Shinra house is where you'll find yourself in chapter eight of the game. The walls of this gorgeous and sumptuous residence are covered with a variety of elaborate artworks. These are authentic paintings, as you will see if you look attentively. You can obviously tell where Square Enix stole the artwork if you look a bit closer.
Yes, there is a large, dated watermark from Getty Images in the center of the image. Using our own Getty account, I was able to locate the same painting that Square Enix had taken. It is a painting by artist John Crowther that shows London's Ludgate Circus around 1881.
Before publishing, Kotaku contacted Square Enix but received no response.
The watermark on this image suggests that whomever downloaded it from Getty may not have paid for a license because they stretched it out and mostly trimmed the top to suit the frame. Additionally, this mistake remains ongoing. In this section of the game, the finished painting—complete with the Getty watermark—appear at least three times. Whoops!
The inclusion of an incorrect watermark in a major Square Enix RPG has happened before. A watermark was also shown in one of the cutscenes in Kingdom Hearts III. That, however, was not an easy-to-find artwork that occurs repeatedly and can be plainly seen by everyone paying attention; rather, it was a "blink and you'll miss it moment." Visit the mansion as soon as possible if you want to see this error for yourself since I predict Square Enix will fix it soon.
