Final Fantasy 7 fans have been head over heels for Cloud on his little segway since the story trailer for Rebirth dropped earlier this year in September. The new method of traveling around Costa Del Sol has really won over a lot of folks for its silliness, which is actually somethingHamaguchi and company are deliberately going for with Rebirth.

Hamaguchi, for his part, admits in afollow-up tweetthat he couldn’t ride the segway quite as well as Cloud does in the new game. TheSquare Enixveteran is being a little harsh on himself here - Cloud has a stand atop his segway to grip onto for good measure, while Hamaguchi’s left to balance on his own two feet and hope for the best.
