FFVII Crossover Wishlist?

Tifa and Aerith's outfits would be nice. Or better yet one of the Honey Bee dresses for both genders.

Be careful there.

There's a strong hate on it in the west because that part wasn't ethical.
Apparently for reasons I don't know.

Personally I loved it, for me it stays true to the original which was something I wanted.

The motorbike and Cloud's outfit are already basically in the game through mogstation and veteran rewards. With FFXIV being basically a fan service MMO and ontop of part 1 for FF7 being released, i do think they should do some kind of event to commemorate it's release hopefully in the coming months. Or if we bother them enough for it. But i'm sure their hands are full already with content soon to come. While it would be nice to see all the glamour from FF7 i would also like to see glamour from FF7 Advent Children.

I think the Cloud glamour we have already actually is the outfit from Advent Children. I haven't looked at it recently but I seem to recall it having the Fusion sword holster on its back.

It is, it's not the First Class SOLDIER outfit he wears in the original game/Remake, nor the

Shinra trooper uniform he really wore story wise 'five years ago'

. It does go with the Fenrir SDS mount though (which is after all from the same film).

Similarly, Squall's outfit in the game is not his original FFVIII outfit but the 'redesign' from Kingdom Hearts (that he also wore in Dissidia as well).

Funnily enough of the three PS1 era FF game protagonists whose outfits are available here in FFXIV, only Zidane's FFIX outfit is correct for his actual game appearence.

Must be becuase he was neither in KH (even though Vivi was) nor in a game that had a sequel movie...or anything for that matter.

Out of the PS1 era FF games it felt like 9 got the least attention out of them also in regards of marketing and exposure. It's one of my favorite entries in the series tbh and might be due to the step back from realism and heavy sci-fi tones going back to a more classic feeling FF setting.

Something to also remember about FF7 is that Video games didn't really start becoming a mainstream thing until the days of PS1. There is a considerable amount of the franchise's fanbase that didn't know Final Fantasy even existed before 7 came out. As a result many also look back on that title with potent nostalgia goggles because it was their first RPG experience.

How are you defining "mainstream"?

How are you defining "mainstream"?

At the risk of sounding old, videogames - like comic book (anything) were considered niche, for nerds, not profitable enough for the wider audience. They had a negative stigma attached to anyone even affiliated with them as just a hobby.

Playstation changed ALL of that, between the floundering drought that was the N64 game library/limited hardware/utter live betrayal at an electronic show and Sega's poor console support left a huge opportunity for Sony to capitalize on a wide and potentially neglected audience. They marketed to a wider audience, an older audience, and women (gaming was considered a boys only affair for a while). The Playstation did what Nintendon't (I know, I know): They made gaming cool, trendy even. Games had huge marketing push behind them and Final Fantasy 7 has a rather interesting history on why SquareSoft (before they became SquareENIX) became exclusive to Sony for two console generations. One can argue gaming didn't become more mainstream until the PS2, but PS1 jumpstarted the big budget AAA titles.
