Final Fantasy 7's beloved frog Touch Me is now viewable in full 3D glory

A comprehensive 3D model viewer for Final Fantasy 7 has made it possible to inspect every creature, character, and asset from the original 1997 game in unprecedented detail. The Pardall Games library hosts the collection, allowing players to rotate models freely in a 3D environment and examine summon animations and map geometry.

The tool has drawn particular attention for finally letting fans appreciate Touch Me, a small frog enemy that has become an internet meme. The creature's name comes from the original Japanese gairaigo (loan word) Tacchi Mī (タッチミー), which translates literally to "Touch Me" in English. Square Enix renamed the species Amphidex in the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth remake.

The viewer allows exploration of how the game's original 3D meshes differ from their presentation in-game, and users can generate animated GIFs of models in motion. Players can also examine the game's map screens and their underlying geometry.
