In today's episode we look at the one of the most iconic Final Fantasy character designs with Tetsuya Nomura's FF7 Cloud Strife.

We consider not just the attributes of this particular character and why Cloud Strife worked in the Final Fantasy 7 world, but also how, historically speaking the approach to Cloud's design was representative of Squaresoft's game-changing pivot into the realms of 3D game design and 3D JRPG design. We Also finally consider adaptations including Kingdom Hearts Cloud Strife and Advent Children Cloud, and the how's and why's of those design changes.
