I'm just keeping the names of the files that were uploaded.Oh! I didn't see you're putting "hydrafxx" at the beginning of filenames now. Thanks
I guess Hydra built a lib of fine-tuned templates of facial expression, no matter by mocap, or manual rig with reference. I won't be surprised that Tifa inherited the template of Ashely's facial expression with some modifications. The kiss animation could also be inherited partially from the Ade-Leon one. Another example is the animation of Gwen: the facial animation is played in loop in the last scene.
That is one of the advantages of 3D animation: assets could be reused easily.

We live in a time where 3D smut looks better than in game cutscenes.
What a time to be alive.
What a time to be alive.
Games can’t really afford to have every minute of cutscene take up one gigabyteof data. AAA game companies likely could produce movie-quality graphics if they wanted to (they don’t, because that would require more work on their part, and gamers are already used to video-game–quality graphics so why bother?), but, going off of Disney movies, that would push game sizes into the tens if not hundreds of terabytes.
A lot of the games of this site with high-end graphics are already bloated as hell, despite being significantly shorter and much more contained than a typical AAA release, and even then the animation work is usually leagues below that of dedicated animators such as HydraFXX.

If you mean in-game pre-rendered cutscenes then no it doesn't..
This. It depends on the game and the devs, but one of the big reasons is definitely file size. And honestly? The quality difference between modern in-game graphics and a prerendered cutscene are generally not significant enough to care about it. Like in FF7 Remake, for instance. There was maybe 2 or 3 actual prerendered cutscenes and everything else was rendered in-engine, and honestly? While I could see a definite difference, I actually thought the prerendered cutscenes were kinda...plasticy. The difference in the characters' appearance vs their in-game models was way too jarring, and the cutscene versions were softer and uncanny valley to the extreme.
Compared to OG FF7, where you spent most of the game looking at character models that looked like they'd been built out of carboard boxes, I think it's perfectly fine to render the cutscenes in-engine instead of having these bloated game files that consist largely of 4K prerendered cutscenes that are only marginally prettier than the in-game graphics already are.
And in the meantime, artists like Hydra can take those already good looking models, add the naked bodies, and make beautiful porn for us all to enjoy. I mean, I'm old enough to remember when the only "official" Aerith model we had was the lowres Crisis Core model, and now we have all of the FF7 girls, including Cissnei, and guys like Hydra and Nagoo can make animations with character models that don't have square fingers or triangular vaginas. At least in that regard, I think we're living in some pretty blessed times.
