Final Fantasy VII Remake is the story of Cloud, a mercenary with a huge sword (not a euphemism) who has joined up with a small rebel group attempting to sabotage the Shinra Electric Power Company. He’s not along for the ride for any political or personal reasons; he’s just the hired muscle. While players of Final Fantasy VII probably know the opening scenes in Midgar by heart, Remake gives them the time to learn more about the others in the group that they saw all too briefly in the original game. (Biggs, Wedge, and Jessie have gained a lot of new fans as a result.)

Cloud, Tifa, Barret, and friends have never looked better, and it’s easy to see why they’re quickly inspiring a new age of fan art.
