The devs behind Final Fantasy 7 Remake have shared some early concept art of Cloud in a dress, and he somehow looks good in every iteration.

Square Enixhas shared a tweet that features several sketches of Cloud in various purple, blue, and pink outfits, along with the caption (machine translated): “Today, we present rough art of Cloud in a dress drawn in the early stages of development!” The tweet continues: “Various other designs were also considered, including a dress with a pure white neck ribbon and a chic black dress!”

It’s hard to imagine Cloud in anything but the purple and blue corset dress we know him in now, but it’s still interesting to know that the former soldier can look good in just about anything. I’m particularly a fan of the design that features the pink bows and ribbons. Here’s hoping some of these alternative designs will still one day find themselves in the game - maybe in the form of DLC forFinal Fantasy 7: Rebirth?

Cloud’s dress aside, Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth recentlysettled an old JRPG debate,as Square Enix reveals that players will be able to set optional level scaling. The director of the upcoming remake’s sequel also shocked us all recently by telling fans thathis cat won’t cameo againbecause he’d “like to think” it died in Remake - which is about as heartbreaking asFinal Fantasy 7’s big twistwhich is expected to return.

After studying Film Studies and Creative Writing at university, I was lucky enough to land a job as an intern at Player Two PR where I helped to release a number of indie titles. I then got even luckier when I became a Trainee News Writer at GamesRadar+ before being promoted to a fully-fledged News Writer after a year and a half of training.  My expertise lies in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, cozy indies, and The Last of Us, but especially in the Kingdom Hearts series. I’m also known to write about the odd Korean drama for the Entertainment team every now and then.
