Final Fantasy VII Rebirth game director Naoki Hamaguchi has revealed that Cloud is his favourite character in regards to the world of FFVII, which contains more than its fair share of eclectic cast members. Speaking with Danny Pena, Hamaguchi-san, who also directed 2020’s Final Fantasy VII Remake, explained that Cloud has been perennial fixture during his time working on the Remake project, describing the Buster Sword-wielding hero as “almost like a family” to him.This might sound cliché, but it would be Cloud for me. And the reason is quite simple: I’ve been on the Final Fantasy 7 Remake project for about 8 or 9 years at this point, and I’ve always had Cloud there, visibly. I don’t think there was a time that I haven’t seen him in front of me, so he’s almost like family to me at this point.Related Content — Upcoming PS5 Games 2025: The Best PS5 Games Coming Soon Elsewhere, Yoshinori Kitase, who directed the original 1997 version of Final Fantasy VII and is serving as producer on the series, named Vincent as his main man. I’ve had an affinity for Vincent since the original Final Fantasy 7 because I wanted to introduce a character that leans on that sort of horror atmosphere, so I asked the scenario writer at the time to introduce this character. And throughout the Remake project, or in Rebirth particularly, he’s more of a guest and doesn’t really actively participate in the party just yet, so I’m really excited to see how he’s going to be depicted in the third installment.Square Enix is currently working on the third and final chapter in the Final Fantasy VII Remake project, which is expected to launch at some point in 2027. The company had originally planned to release episodic DLC stories for Rebirth before deciding against it in order to concentre on Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3.Hamaguchi-san previously said that that he’s confident Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 will be remembered as ‘one of the most loved, most popular games‘ of all time. That’s a bold statement to make, but we’re keeping our fingers crossed all the same![Source – Danny Pena via GamesRadar]
