It’s a very good time to be a Final Fantasy VII fan. With rumours of the second part of the remake in full swing, a second season of The First Soldier in the making, and now the news that Cloud Strife, the omnislashing swordsman himself, will be behind the wheel as part of the Chocobo GP season pass. Oh, and we’ve got Squall too.
With the game just a couple of months away, Square Enix used the Japanese version of the February Nintendo Direct to announce Cloud and Squall for the Chocobo GP season pass. It’s not a massive surprise to see Square decide to throw two of their most popular characters into the mix. Some had questioned the strength of the line-up of racers for their new game, and with the 25th anniversary of FF7, it only seems sensible to let players kart around as Cloud.
Both Cloud and Squall have been chibi-fied for their addition to Chocobo GP, to suit the more playful visuals of Square’s kart-racer. Now, the big question is whether we’ll see Cloud’s nemesis, the ever-intimidating Sephiroth, belt-up somewhere further down the line.
