The PTV is placed differently combine with the different arrangement of the closet (which IMO should've been scrapped).
It is pity to a certain extent the current F Class seats were designed with the 744 in mind, (the angle). If it is the 77W I am sure CX wouldn't have optted for this design and go for the more conventional straight box design (eg. SQ/JL/TG etc...)
Good that it's just psychological, wouldn't be fair if the seat was actually smaller
I agree that the closet should go. Just store the duvet elsewhere, and have an FA hang your coat for you. It'll allow for extra foot space too.
I don't
entirely dislike the slanted design as it allows for more privacy while not being entirely closed in a la Suites. But it's one of the factors, along with the closet, that doesn't allow for a full-width foot area which IMO matters in F.
Oh and if I can get on my soapbox for a moment. I don't want to have to deploy my PTV in F, and I want a full rectangular side table. Keep the TV permanently mounted straight ahead of me and give me a big table to put all my stuff on.
In some ways the F seat feels like J... a bit too close to Cirrus J tbh. Triangular side table, triangular bed, deployable PTV... it's clear that this is an older design. I like the width, but it's not enough to compensate for the other drawbacks. It needs a more thorough update than the slight refresh.
