A brand-new Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth pamphlet is capturing followers’ focus many thanks to one narrative that holds hints to a secret every person has actually been deliberating considering that the initial JRPG introduced 27 years back. 

The Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth World Preview pamphlet is out currently in Japan. The individuals over at Shinra Archaeology Department have started the fan translation effort in earnest, concentrating on a tale called “2,000 Gil on the Road to be a Hero” that covers the start of a 14-year-old Cloud’s trip to Midgar. 

As Aitai Japan chief executive officer and translation lover Audrey summarizes on Twitter, the narrative clarifies Cloud’s dear ol’ papa, that has actually stayed a secret considering that the JRPG was initial launched 27 years back. He’s obviously a positive and hopeful person that thinks that “as long as you got 2,000 Gil in your wallet, you can go anywhere you like and overcome almost anything.” Handy, as Cloud takes his papa’s budget, discovers 2,000 Gil and utilizes it to go where he suches as in a quote to get rid of practically whatever.

As Audrey additionally explains, this might lead us to a personality we fulfilled in Final Fantasy 7: The First Soldier called Glenn Lodbrok, a brand-new and preferred participant in the ‘is that Cloud’s papa’ sector. 

As for exactly how the brand-new tale web links to Lodbrok, we initially find out that he owes somebody 4,000 Gil – sufficient to utilize fifty percent to “go anywhere” two times over. Ever Crisis does place the financial obligation to Lodbrok being a regular casino player attempting to cover a relative’s clinical expenses, mind you. Aside from that, the personality type of Cloud’s papa defined below are fairly Glenn-like. 

Lodbrok’s intro in Final Fantasy 7 spin-off titles The First Soldier and Ever Crisis had fans wondering if his blonde hair and Mako-eco-friendly eyes gave the solution to that Cloud’s papa is. It’s partially a concept based upon feelings, though The First Solider does happen around 15 years prior to the initial Final Fantasy 7 starts, so the timelines pair up.

Another popular fan theory I’ve seen subjugated for many years is that Cloud’s papa is a Shinra, concentrating on the business’s visibility in Nibelheim. The concept I’m much more keen on is that he’s simply a man. A Final Fantasy 7 Remake unique, Traces of Two Pasts, tells us he was a troubled heart that roamed right into the hills someday and was never ever spoken with once more – his bag was found, yet not him. Part of Cloud’s charm is his plain history as a Shinra cannon fodder that wished for something much more, obtaining simply that after one act of heroism. So why not allow his papa be equally as plain? 

The identification of Cloud’s papa stays an enjoyable point to contemplate and with Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth nearby, we might still obtain even more hints.
