In these early sections of the story, however, he presents himself as a self-assured, uncaring badass. He misremembers his own past and later gradually uncovers the tragic truth of his life, and this character’s journey is a big part of what makes Final Fantasy VII’s story so great. When the story begins, Cloud is in the midst of an identity crisis that not even he recognizes. Most adaptations and remakes are plagued by these kinds of nuanced distinctions, but if these and other comments from the development team are any indication, then we have every right to stay excited for Remake. This subtle, nostalgic difference is incredibly important. Remake will capture Cloud, Tifa, Barret, and the rest of their group as who they were rather than who they are.
He’s become more human after all the trauma he’s experienced, adding a touch of gravitas to the character.įor Nojima to describe him as “fiery” with “aggression in his eyes” perfectly captures who Cloud is supposed to be at this point in time - a superhuman badass plagued by amnesia, who literally thinks he’s someone else - rather than the more sensitive hero we all see him as. The deaths of Zack and Aerith from the original game weigh heavily on him, making him more sensitive and kind.
While most of the major characters have more or less retired from fighting at this point in time, Cloud remained sharp and restless, picking heroic fights and working constantly. More than 20 years after the release of the original game, we’ll all have to reckon with who Cloud became through the course of Final Fantasy VII, but many of us will also be haunted by the version from Advent Children, which takes place two years after the original game. I knew right then: “Oh, this is it.”Ĭloud begins 'Final Fantasy VII Remake' as a badass and total jerk. “Rather, here was a young man with fiery features, looking straight at me through the screen with aggression in his eyes. “It wasn’t post- Advent Children Cloud, with kindness brimming from within,” Nojima wrote. Some comments from scenario writer Kazushige Nojima in particular about the first time he saw protagonist Cloud Strife’s redesign have me even more excited for a gaming experience that sounds familiar yet totally refreshing. In a lengthy post published Monday to the company’s official blog, various members of the Final Fantasy VII Remake team wrote about their approach to making the new game. A challenge of any remake is honoring the story that came before and keeping the experience fresh for fans of the original, and some inspiring new comments from the Square Enix development team show a holistic approach that sounds totally unlike Advent Children in every way. Cloud loses the sleeve during the movie.The initial batch of trailers and gameplay previews for Final Fantasy VII Remake have sparked numerous visual comparisons to the maligned animated sequel film, Advent Children, something that could be a source of concern for tentative fans. The sleeve also hides his Geostigma infection, which he wants to conceal from his friends. Cloud wears a pink ribbon hidden under the sleeve in remembrance of Aerith Gainsborough. The emblem is also on Barret's, Denzel's, and Tifa's rings. It is the gray wolf that follows Cloud throughout the film, and Cloud wears his emblem on his shoulder pauldron, his earring and gloves, as well as on the background his cellphone. The wolf motif from which the attire gains its name is Fenrir. The concept began with a black robe and was restructured into the final version.
