In a new interview with Square Enix, Cody Christian teased an “unhinged side of Cloud” that he’s proud of in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. The interview addresses plenty of questions regarding his experience voicing Cloud Strife and being a part of the remake project.
The question where this answer came up asked Cody about the scene he is most proud of in Rebirth. Looking back to the original game, it feels that there will be countless memorable moments in locations like Nibelheim, the Gold Saucer, and more.
Are there any scenes you’re particularly proud of in FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH?
“There is actually. There’s a whole sequence – I don’t know where exactly in the game and I don’t want to give away too much – but we’ll just say that we see a very… unhinged side of Cloud.
Exploring that, and the interactions with the core characters and who know him… I’m getting chills thinking about it – it was really, really cool! I’m excited for fans to see it.”
This sequence could be numerous scenes from the original game or maybe even something new! The original game has plenty of emotional moments that could fit with Cody’s description. We’ll have to wait and find out next month.
