alighty,  so far this is what i've done.

this is about as accurate of the original anime stile of cloud as i can do, while still being an upgrade. the face was redone.  i still got to do some more testing, and then after that i will send it out for everyone to try out.

my main goal was to keep the serous tone the game had, given the story circumstances. anyways, I'd like to also check out some other characters and see what i can do for them when i can.
 
It's good except the original face is meaner.  It looks like he means business.  Yours looks like he is upset.  Look at the mouth and eye brows.

What's wrong with the original face and head?  Why does it need changing?>
 
The face in that art is meaner, sure, but expressionless is probably better in most cases. Cloud has a whole range of emotions throughout the game, and it's easier to imagine a smile over a blank stare than over an angry-eyes glare.
 
does it look better now?

I'm also having an issue packaging the character in the game, it seems to be all scrambled up when i play it. i keep ending up with the same results when i repackage it over and over. any clues?
 
Just make the the last part of the line on his left more straight (not curved)... But just the last part of the line on the far left. I hope that helps ;)

I agree. He looks a bit too much like grumpy cat at the moment. I think it fits if he's looking blank, considering Cloud's background (and his years marinating in a test pod without realizing). Right now, he looks pissed.
 
Cloud should be angry, he's had a troubled life.  :)

Anyways new Cloud Update,

I'd say that captures it.  Pretty much perfect this one.  Apart from slight curve on mouth (his left, our right) as noted.  But that's the only problem.
 
I agree with Dan, but it would only be perfect for the battle. If I think on the scene where Tifa and Cloud are alone in front of the Highwind and Tifa is talking about her feelings and Cloud sits there with the  :x expression. Would be funny, but wouldn't suits the moment.
So for battle the bad boy face is perfect and for the field is the lesser strong looking face better.

Why is the model mixed with PRP parts?
 
It's not installing correctly for some reason. That's odd, but something I've seen from using lgp tools. Have you tried the direct folders or an iro?
 
iv'e tried repackaging them directly into the files over a dozen times already, same result. maybe something is wrong with my ulgp or maybe in need to run it as admin.
 
Have you actually tried the direct folders though (direct\char and direct\battle)? You just copy in the files. lgp tools do need to be run as admin.

just tried direct folders and ran as Admin, same result. cloud ends up getting scrambled with the old model parts. no idea what this could be.
 
Are you sure the direct folders are enabled? If not nothing you put in them will load so it's falling back to the fault model installed in the lgp.
 
The hrc file must be AAAA.hrc. I think you are using a wrong named hrc file. That's what I assume.
 
It was the ulgp program i was using, it seemed to be corrupted.

my results so far.

the eyes on the character are just right, they blink nicely. i'm going to upload him soon after i'm done with some more testing.

My point is that graphically the game was sound, but needed higher resolution.  What people seem to be doing to the graphics instead is completely redesigning them, so that the entire feel of the game is different.  That's fine, because that's their mod, but imho it's a complete mistake, and I'll choose not to use them.

In the case of Cloud, there is absolutely nothing that I can see wrong with Cloud's original battle face.  It's the absolute intention of the designers and it looks good. Moving eyes about, hair about and adjusting facial expressions is not adding anything, but is often taking away.  It's not a small mod either that can simply be left out.  The choice we have been getting is lego cloud, or custom cloud.  Not original design cloud. 

But like I said, we all have a choice whether we use them or not.  I'm just giving my personal opinion on it.  I feel it's a mistake. 

In the case of my Cait Sith mod, when it arrives, it will be a small add on... it does not need to be used, and the game can stand by the original design without it.

That doesn't look bad, though!  The  mouth seems to have some sort of issue with the line, but it's still the original design.  I'm actually quite happy with it.

On the other hand

That changes too much and for absolutely no good reason that I can see over the one above.
