FFVII Remake Concept Art Showcases Cloud’s Mom Claudia

For Mother’s Day 2022, the Japanese FFVII Remake Twitter account decided to pay tribute to Cloud Strife’s mom Claudia with concept art and screenshots. In addition to the design document highlighting her official look, there are a number of in-game glimpses at her. One of them even shows her appearance in the original game. She appeared in a brief cameo back then, which didn’t involve a clear look at her face.

First, here’s the concept art showing off how Claudia Strife could look. She’s wearing a simple pink dress and apron. The additional details show the dress from the back and how she would tie the apron.

Next are the FFVII Remake screenshots showing how that concept art is reflected in Cloud’s mom Claudia’s in-game look. While her full outfit isn’t shown from the front, we can see how her face resembles his and her hairstyle. One screenshot also shows how the apron looks from the back.

Finally, there is the screenshot from FFVII showing Cloud’s mom and him during a flashback. While the character model isn’t as detailed, she still has a similar hairstyle and sort of outfit.

Square Enix often uses the Japanese Twitter account for the game to share concept art. When it does, it will compare them to in-game screenshots and the original game. For example, past updates looked at the boss Eligor and the Wall Market Materia Shop.

Final Fantasy VII Remake is available for the PS4, while FFVII Remake Intergrade is out on the PS5 and PC.
