This was an official render tho. Not something one magazine edited.

Ah, so they American Kirby'd Zidane, huh?

Actually, I think you're on to something: all of the google image matches are for the frowning render are in non-Japanese media. At a glance I don't see any uses of this render in Japanese publications.

Actually, these are all PAL region publications, aren't they? Are they all from the same publisher?

Here's an instance of it being used in NextGen (USA). But the matches are overwhelmingly PAL territories.

So this version of the render was apparently used for multiple PAL region magazines. Might've been cooked up by Square Europe? https://bsky.app/profile/alexfkraus.bsky.social/post/3li66twfkuc2h
