Description This here should finally give people an understanding of how big Midgar really is, cause if you've seen the Q1 Tower in person, you'll know its massive, and yet Shin-Ra HQ still dominates over it, not to mention i placed Q1 on the plate level so there's also the distance down to the slums.

The Q1 Tower is 322.5 m (1058 ft) to the top of the spire.

I'll also mention that the Midgar shown in Crisis Core and Advent Children is bigger than mine, so would dwarf Q1 even more! NOW TREMBLE BEFORE THE MIGHT OF SHINRA!!!

Nice job there! I've attemped to scale it to floor heights instead but obviously with how the HQ is constructed, it's a challenging observation.

Either way even if I'm off a bit, I still think ShinRa would do a great job and so I replaced all Emaar signs with Shinra logos. [link]

Tremble before the might of corporate investment!

That's a great way to establish scale, though it might not be a fair comparison, since Q1 is a residential tower, no? And I'm glad I wasn't the only one who noticed that the scale of Midgar seemed much larger in Advent Children than in the original artwork in the first game.

Lol , that's just a silly silly size.



...Is it just me or does it look like Midgar has an erection? (no pun intended)

Nonsense! Compared to the stuff you see in most games this is rather normal.

... trust you to mention that

How the hell would it grow in CC and AC? wouldnt it be the same size?

Q1 looks like a random block for rich people

lol, it was just made too small in FF7, and in AC and CC its the correct size, which is waaaayyyy bigger. (I made mine as big as it could be without messing up the insides of HQ)

Also a prime target for AVALANCHE since it would fall like a tree!

The Shin-Ra Building does, you can see various pics of it in my gallery, Q1 however is outside only, since it was made to be viewed at a distance.
