Square Enix celebrates the 22 anniversary of the North American publication of Final Fantasy VII recreating one of the most iconic artwork in the game. The modern appearance is in line with the visual style of Final Fantasy VII Remake.
Regardless of whether you're a fan of the Final Fantasy franchise, especially Final Fantasy VII, or role-playing games in general, you've probably already seen the artwork in question. Depicts the protagonist Cloud with his back to the spectator while holding the sword. It is located in front of the building of the Shinra, which can be seen towering above him in the distance. A cloud of black smog chokes the air as blue lights sprout from the ground. All this fully captures the history of the game: a small group of eco-terrorists fighting against a megacorporation to try to save the world in which they live.
On September 7, 1997, we released the original FINAL FANTASY VII in North America.
To celebrate the anniversary we've remade one of the most iconic pieces of artwork from the original game, and now there are just under 6 months until the launch of #FinalFantasy VII Remake! #FF7R pic.twitter.com/OLjw4g6kOQ
