Cody Christian On Returning As Cloud In FF7 Rebirth: "I Don't Feel Like A Fraud Anymore"

It’s been over a month since Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth’s launch, but the massive open world action RPG continues to occupy a sizeable portion of our headspace even now, thanks in no small part to how ambitious the game turned out to be, and how effectively Square Enix managed to make good on its vision in what was a relatively short development cycle. To shed some light on that process, the company has released a four-part behind-the-scenes series that details the development of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth.

Let’s face it: The buzz of FX’s Shōgun on Hulu might have you thinking about reading the books that it’s based on. But, wading through over 2,000 pages in the series is a daunting prospect, to say the least. If you want a more accessible way to consume the source material for the hit TV show, you can pick up an $18 bundle of eight audiobooks that comprise Humble’s Asian Saga bundle.

Cody Christian, the voice behind Cloud Strife in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth and Remake, has said the character's most-memed and infamous line was "drilled" into his brain for three months. 

The development studio behind the storied Like a Dragon franchise has urged fans to tune in on April 1 for a special announcement. Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth released back in January to critical acclaim. Joining franchise icon Kazuma Kiryu and upbeat newcomer Ichiban Kasuga, Infinite Wealth is the largest entry in the series yet, boasting new adventures in Hawaii and Japan, and introducing several fresh faces to the already large web of characters.

Square Enix has released a four-party documentary series for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth titled “Inside Final Fantasy VII Rebirth,” which uncovers the stories behind the making of the RPG through the eyes of the development team.

The Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth hype continues. Even the excitement surrounding the release of Dragon's Dogma 2 hasn't slowed it down all that much, and since there is so much to do in Rebirth, many of us are still slowly making our way across the grasslands, through Costa Del Sol, and beyond. Whether you're still on your journey or you're done, if you love Final Fantasy 7, you likely want more. The wait for the next game will be a long one, but the wait for Cloud's mini static figure is already over.

Recently, the Yakuza series was renamed to Like a Dragon, reflecting its Japanese title and shedding certain preconceived notions about the games. These beat ’em up role-playing games have made Sega a fortune, shipping over 21.3 million copies since its debut in 2005.
