But how does one play this new DLC? It isn’t a simple matter of just hopping into the new content from the main menu, there are some pre-requisites. Also, how leveled up should your party be before you take on this new challenge? Don’t worry, we have the answers for you…
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Reveals What Cloud Smells Like
30.03.2024 - 15:05 / thegamer.com / Red Xiii XIII (Xiii) / Naoki Hamaguchi
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth has Red XIII answer a question that I don't think many of us were asking in the first place - what does Cloud Strife smell like?
With how much Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth focuses on Cloud's damaged mental state and messed up memories, it's safe to say that players have gotten to know him a lot more closely (or at least who he thinks he is) than they did in Final Fantasy 7 Remake. It's not just Cloud's personality that we're learning more about, though, as Red XIII has been kind enough to tell us what the sullen SOLDIER smells like.
As highlighted by PlayStation UK, one mission in the game features Cloud trailing behind Red XIII as he trails someone by following their scent. While doing so, he explains his sense of smell is much better than any human's and that "bodily secretions are as strong as any perfume", allowing him to track anyone from a single sniff of their clothing.
This (somewhat foolishly) causes Cloud to ask Red XIII what he smells like, which causes him to say, "Like a man who's killed his fair share of fiends, I suppose". Despite not being the best at social cues, Cloud instantly sees through what Red is saying, and replies with, "Like blood and s**t then".
In response, Red XIII sheepishly says, "Not literal s**t, no...", although his delivery implies that Cloud might be in need of a shower at some point during his adventure. Cloud doesn't end up replying to what Red has said, but if you were ever wondering what one of gaming's most iconic characters smells like, there you have it. You know what they say about never meeting your heroes.
Cloud isn't the only thing that Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth reveals the smell of, as game director Naoki Hamaguchi previously claimed that Chocobos (which are notoriously stinky in the world of Final Fantasy) smell like horses .
It's certainly a far cry from how Final Fantasy has described the smell of some of its other characters. Crisis Core famously detailed just how much work Sephiroth puts into making his hair as silky smooth as it is, which includes using a whole bottle of shampoo and conditioner that are scented with "thirteen kinds of perfumes, including rose and vanilla". That's one point to Sephiroth, then.
