Crisis Core – Final Fantasy VII – Reunion Released today it’s a solid remake/remake of the beloved PSP title. But at least one panel in the new game has something extra in it: the Getty Images watermark, Which means that the in-game board was created using a captured preview image Direct from The location of this service.

In our notice posted earlier todayHowever, we noticed that the remake is a faithful adaptation of the original PSP game, with the flaws of being too dedicated to being a perfect prequel. And, like the original, while the first half of the game is strong, the ending leads to a “disappointing conclusion”. Hell is still a remake. However, we noticed that the new visuals bring a new bug, in the form of a watermark left on at least three instances of the in-game panel.

During the eighth chapter of the game, you will enter Shinra Palace. In this beautiful and luxurious house, you will find many strange paintings hanging on the walls. Look closely and you will discover that these are real paintings. Look closely and you’ll clearly see where Square Enix got the art from.

Yes, that’s a big old Getty Images watermark in the middle. I was able to track down the exact painting that Square Enix captured using our Getty account. This is a piece by John Crowther Representing Ludgate Circus in London in 1881.

Kotaku I contacted Square Enix but there was no response before posting.

It looks like whoever took this image from Getty—and probably didn’t pay for the license, since the watermark is still there—stretched it and cropped the top of it to fit the frame. This is not a one-time mistake. The resulting board appears at least three times in that area of ​​the game with the Getty watermark. Excuse me!

A screenshot shows where the Getty watermark panel appears.

The watermark panel appears in at least three different places.

This isn’t the first time a big Square Enix RPG has come up with the wrong watermark. Kingdom Hearts 3 It also included a watermark during the cut scene. However, it was a “wink and you’ll miss it” rather than an easy-to-find panel that pops up multiple times and can be clearly seen by anyone paying attention. If you want to see this bug for yourself, I’d go to the palace ASAP, as I imagine Square Enix will fix it soon.
