Reunite with 'Polygon Cloud' in 'FF7 Rebirth': A Heartwarming Nostalgic Experience!

The second installment of the trilogy remake series based on “Final Fantasy 7” (hereinafter referred to as FF7) released for the original PS.“Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth”(hereinafter referred to as FF7 Reverse) was released on February 29th.

At that time, 3D depiction was still in its infancy, and the expression “polygon” was often used. Of course, the performance of the equipment cannot be compared to what it is now. For this reason, the characters appearing in FF7 were mainly depicted as deformed models. Although he becomes taller during battle, it can still be said to be at a simple level compared to modern times.

17 years have passed since then, and the graphics of “FF7 Rebirth'', which appeared in Reiwa, eloquently depict the characters in a lifelike manner, and even show off a variety of facial expressions. While some may be surprised and satisfied with this evolution, some may also feel nostalgic for the memorable “Polygon Clouds”.

For those who have feelings for polygon characters, please don't worry. In “Condor Fort,” one of the mini-games included in this work, Cloud, Tifa, and Barret appear as four-headed polygonal characters reminiscent of those days.

And they're not just data. Since he was caught up in an incident and materialized in the game, his consciousness is that of the actual Cloud. In the literal sense of the word, you are immersed in the world of the game.

Although it has a polygonal appearance, since it is the Reiwa era, the finish of the model itself is of a very high level. The colors are vivid and the movements are smooth. The change in facial expression is also obvious.

Moreover, these three people not only enter the game world, but also appear as a “hero unit” during mini-games. Although it cannot be sent out immediately after the start of the game, it can be summoned at no cost if you send out a certain number of units of the same force. It is also strategically important because it unleashes a powerful attack when it appears.

The polygon figure that gives you a nostalgic feeling will be seen not only for the first time but also several times. Tifa says, “I'm not used to this feeling,'' but she has somehow become accustomed to this world and is quite effective in battle.

If you want to meet these polygonal characters, please try “Condor Fort”, which you can play in the Junon area!

In addition, inside “Condor Fort”, a “captain” who looks like he has been seen somewhere also appears. What's more, if you play through “Condor Fort”, you will meet the “mysterious swordsman”. Please play FF7 Rebirth to find out what kind of development this will lead to.
