For Mother’s Day 2022, the Japanese FFVII re-recording Twitter account decided to pay tribute to Cloud Strife’s mother Claudia with concept art and screenshots. In addition to the design document that highlights her design, there are a number of glimpses of her in the game. One of them even shows her appearance in the original game, which was a short cameo and did not involve a closer look at her face.
First, here’s the concept art that shows what Claudia Strife would look like. She is wearing a simple pink dress and apron. The further details show what it would look like from behind and she would tie it.
Next is FFVII re-recording screenshots showing how this concept art is reflected in Cloud’s mother Claudia’s appearance in the game. Although her full outfit does not appear from the front, we can see how her face looks like him and the hairstyle, as well as how the apron looks from behind.
Finally, there is the screenshot from FFVII shows Cloud’s mother and him in a flashback. Even though it is not so detailed, she still has a similar hairstyle and a kind of outfit.
Square Enix often uses the Japanese account for the game to share concept art and compare them with screenshots in the game. For example, saw previous updates on the boss Eligor and then on the Wall Market Materia Shop.
Final Fantasy VII remake is available for PS4 while FFVII Remake Intergrade is out on PS5 and PC.
