Final Fantasy 7's Cloud Strife is one of gaming's most iconic characters. His striking, spiky hairstyle has not gone out of style in the 27 years since he first graced our screens. No matter what game you see him in, he just exudes cool, but there's no denying that since his debut appearance in 1997, he's had quite a glow-up.
In Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, Cloud looks better than ever before, with a character model so detailed that you could probably count all of his individual pores if you really wanted to. Believe it or not, his character model's total polygon count has actually doubled from around 110,000 to 220,000 since 2020's Final Fantasy 7 Remake – a game that was already visually stunning. Of those 110,000 Cloud-based polygons in Remake, though, Square Enix definitely had its priorities in order, as it's been revealed in a PlayStation Blog post that half of them were dedicated to perfecting his luscious locks.
