Apex Legends players unhappy with \u201cbutchered\u201d Final Fantasy skin Square Enix \/ RespawnThe Apex Legends community was upset with how the Final Fantasy collaboration Aerith skin for Horizon looked in screenshots from the trailer. Respawn has managed to release collaboration skins in the past that were popular with players, like the Luffy-inspired skin for Octane. However, data miners have always found a way to leak the skins\u2019 appearances before the official release, ruining the surprise for players. Therefore it came as a pleasant shock to the Apex Legends community when Respawn announced a collaboration with Final Fantasy at the Game Awards 2023. Respawn teased players with a cinematic trailer for the skins alongside the announcement, but eagle-eyed players weren\u2019t happy with one of the skins shown. Apex Legends players upset with Final Fantasy Aerith skin One fan managed to capture a close-up image of the Horizon x Aerith skin from the trailer and wasn\u2019t happy when comparing it to the original character, sarcastically stating: \u201cWow good job Apex Legends, that\u2019s definitely what Aerith would look like if she was a 40 year old.\u201d Players who hadn\u2019t noticed the character model in the trailer were shocked. \u201cIt\u2019s hideous it\u2019s revolting and doesn\u2019t deserve the name Aerith. Apex never do Final Fantasy collabs again if you\u2019re gonna butcher it this badly,\u201d one fan said. \u201cHoly hell, that looks awful\u201d another person agreed. For others, the skin wasn\u2019t a bad merging of the popular figures Aelith and Horizon, however, they felt the skin would\u2019ve looked much better on a different character Wattson. \u201cNo f**king way they gave Horizon Aerith,\u201d one person complained. \u201cThere was literally Wattson.\u201d But while loyal Apex fans were frustrated with the Apex Legends x Final Fantasy collaboration, FF fans didn\u2019t mind it considering that they finally got the Final Fantasy XIV Endwalker soundtrack on music streaming services after a 2-year wait.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
