Final Fantasy 7 Remake's Cloud Can Be 'A Bit Lame', Says Writer

The writer of Final Fantasy 7 Remake has revealed that he has scripted the new version of Cloud to show a different side of the character, noting that he is nervous about how fans will receive the change. Talking in a new Inside Final Fantasy 7 Remake documentary video, story and scenario writer Kazushige Nojima, who is one of the returning developers from the original game, explained that Remake has allowed him to explore Cloud’s personality further. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/03/24/inside-final-fantasy-7-remake-part-2-english-subs"] “For this game I have gone much deeper into the inner psychology of Cloud, the main character,” Nojima said. “In the original I depicted him as a cool and stylish character. However, this time, he can miss the mark and be a little cringe-worthy at times. His cool facade can often slip. Because he wants people to accept him and respect him, he puts on a front. So, when he doesn't know something he just goes ‘Not interested’. I have written him in a way that makes you think that ‘Not interested’ might not be a cool thing to say, but can sometimes be a bit lame.” “I am nervous about whether the fans will accept that or not,” he added. Cloud isn’t the only character Remake is revealing more about. In the same video, co-director Motomu Toriyama revealed that the game will provide more information about Aerith. “In Remake we actually reveal quite a major untold part of [Aerith’s] past,” he says. “You might not even catch it at all.” [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=final-fantasy-7-remake-over-100-screenshots&captions=true"] Beyond just extra personality traits, we’ll also see new events that help broaden players’ understanding of the relationships between the core characters. “Cloud's childhood friend Tifa shows him a flat in Midgar, and they come to live in the same building,” reveals Nojima. “It is a Japanese styled flat and the scene itself is quite sweet, So, I want people to look forward to that.” For more, check out Square Enix's explanation about why Final Fantasy 7 Remake is multiple games rather than one big one, our most recent hands-on with the game, details on how the Remake will let players see more of Midgar's Upper City, and the reveal of some brand new characters and locations in Wall Market.
