Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion may be a stellar remaster in terms of significant graphical upgrades, but players have already spotted an admittedly funny mistake. In its gathering of new assets for the re-release, Square Enix has seemingly plucked a watermarked picture for use in several of the game's locations.
Said picture is a painting of London by John Crowther, and it's available via Getty Images — complete with a big old watermark slap bang in the middle of it. In the game, you probably won't even notice the problem — but it obviously shouldn't be there to begin with.
Now that this error is making the rounds online, we imagine that Square Enix will have to fix it via an update. You really can't hide anything from the internet, can you?

Its bad to see. But not a huge deal, as you really need to look hard for it to even notice it. Can't imagine SE is gonna ignore that, they kinda have to get rid of it.
Is it an original image that they created or have they just basically stuck something from Google images in it without paying whoever drew it I don't get it
Pretty embarrassing if nothing else.
Pretty sure that's part of the painting. It's a commentary on today's society.
@Would_you_kindly I imagine one explanation would be that they paid for the image from Gettys, but accidentally put the free version in instead. Either that or it was only a temporary placement that they forgot to replace before finalizing the texture.
More likely though, they just Googled for an image to place in that scene and never noticed the watermark (The watermark is very hard to see until you zoom in on those images on Twitter).
@Impossibilium aslong as they aren't ripping someone off I guess it's just a harmless mistake that most people won't notice
Wonder who owns the NFT of it.
Me? That's gaga.
I mean, what are we to believe, that this is a magic picture frame, or something? Ha ha, boy, I really hope somebody got fired for that blunder.
So... Does this mean London exists in Final Fantasy VII's world? Or did someone just paint a location that just so happens to look exactly like London in the 1800s? We need answers!
How on earth would someone spot that unless they specifically knew where to look?
@ShogunRok Well, you can get Korean BBQ in Final Fantasy VII from that diner, which always kinda bothered me.
@johncalmc Get Nomura on the phone.
@JudgeDredd I can't un-see this image now, it's completely and utterly abhorrent!
@rawzeku They never bothered fixing the missing door textures on FF7R. So I doubt they'll bother unless gettyimage gets on their case.
@ShogunRok They have cup noodle in FFXV, so Japan, the English language and mondialisation probably exist in FFXV. They might have a magic gate to UK's Midgard in FF7.
Omg I hope they never patch this out! I need to experience this in0game.
