A new nationwide survey in Japanese magazine Famitsu shows that Final Fantasy 7 is still as popular as ever almost 30 years later.
Famitsu – one of Japan's biggest gaming publications – published the results of a poll of the nation's favorite video game characters (via Genki_JPN on Twitter). From the responses of 5,400 participants, unsurprisingly topping the poll is Mario, gaming's number one guy, and second place goes to Cloud Strife from Final Fantasy 7, which also isn't hugely surprising given the popularity of the game to this very day, as well as its beloved remake trilogy currently ongoing.
