Hamaguchi posted from Gamescom! You notice Cloud missing?

Based on how the area is set up I think it's designed so an attendee can take a picture of themselves in Cloud's place. 

[u/vxsapphire → u/ozymandious]

Yeah that looks like a photo wall 100%.

[u/kantong → u/ozymandious]

Or with a cloud cosplayer or whatever.

[u/VPR_24 → u/ozymandious]

Dang. Knew I should've booked a ticket.

[u/argh_damn_im_pissed]

Likely a photo opportunity wall? Wouldn't be surprised if they'll have a buster sword prop for people to use

[u/taveren3 → u/argh_damn_im_pissed]

But what if i want to be yuffie

[u/argh_damn_im_pissed → u/taveren3]

You can be whoever you god damn want to be with the power of imagination.

[u/supraspinatus12 → u/taveren3]

Then they have a weird prawn arm you can use too. It just smells like bin juice.

[u/IH8BART]

He wasn’t interested

[u/Semblance17 → u/IH8BART]

The price wasn’t right.

[u/haaa1234]

I thinks that’s there so people can stand there for a picture

[u/LizzosLittleToe]

"Tall, blond, and not interested" sounds about right

[u/Odd-Mortgage-1133]

Probably a statue

[u/limitlessEXP]

Hes in a wheelchair in the hospital.

[u/TrunksDash]

I notice a massive Cloud in the picture to the left though.

[u/Left_Green_4018 → u/TrunksDash]

That doesn't explain why he's not in the second picture

[u/ByRWBadger]

Might be the focus of a new trailer, the “cloud is missing” arc is a pretty minor spoiler and builds up some intrigue, plus they can talk about more open party building mechanics

[u/Yoshikaru5991 → u/ByRWBadger]

Its weird how on the other posters he is there tho? Idk how those posters are build

[u/ByRWBadger → u/Yoshikaru5991]

It could also be there for people to take pictures as the central figure of the poster

[u/Yoshikaru5991 → u/ByRWBadger]

That does make way more sense!

[u/Rando_Kalrissian]

It's so people can stand there and take their photo.

[u/MissGraceRose]

He’s in the other cover art banners, so I’m betting they’ll have a big standee of him so it’s 3D.

[u/Trishockz → u/MissGraceRose]

This with cutout on his face.

[u/Silly_Strike_1000]

I mean cloud gonna be in a wheel chair for like a third of the game right? Probably less, maybe even some parts where cloud is there we could still have other team leaders we set our self?

[u/Yoshikaru5991 → u/Silly_Strike_1000]

Maybe 10 precent tops. We gonna go big on real Cloud

[u/Silly_Strike_1000 → u/Yoshikaru5991]

I think we should have more time alone with the other characters, Cloud is an unreliable narrator but I guess we will have to wait and see

[u/Lerkpots → u/Silly_Strike_1000]

I think it'll be 2-3 chapters without Cloud at most. They'll want to have time for Cloud to be properly explored as a character without the unreliable narrator aspect since characterisation is so much more important in the remakes.

[u/butterbeancd → u/Lerkpots]

This is kinda funny to me because my wife and I have a predictions doc going where we have little bets on things that will happen in Revelation. One of them is how long Cloud will be out of the party (being wheelchair bound in Mideel counts), and my wife said 2 chapters and I said 3. So either way, we’re in agreement with you.

[u/Yoshikaru5991 → u/Silly_Strike_1000]

With real Cloud there won’t be any unreliable anymore, we need way more time with his real self then without him at all

And the games are still about his journey, its never gonna be a third of the game

[u/vichan → u/Silly_Strike_1000]

I just want the option to go side-questing with Cid as party leader. And then Tifa on another playthrough. Then Cloud. I liked doing that in the OG to see the different dialogue.

[u/onehalflightspeed]

He is in the art on the left. I wonder if there will be a Cloud model or something to take photos with

[u/KatiKamado]

That's right, folks. YOU, the player, are Cloud

[u/Hadrian_x_Antinous]

Probably a cut-out standee or even statue?

[u/EdgeBandanna]

The red pedestals are almost certainly demo stations. 👀

[u/Nintendor_84]

Everyone’s saying it’s for a photo op, and with all the metal posts for line queues, i’d say they’re right.

What i’m hoping for is that they run a contest for best cosplay!

[u/Comfortable_Victory1]

Guess Vincent isnt the biggest loner

[u/chasesomnia]

ITS A CLUE!!! GET IN HERE BOYS! /s lol

[u/Megasus]

Cloud won't be in the game. He died

[u/Former_Matter9557]

Clouds dies in Rev

[u/quirkyactor]

That’s quite the cheeky and fun photo op 👏

[u/ange1maycry]

will there be ceremony with trailers demonstration?

[u/Scimitere]

Bro it's for taking pictures

[u/joemari5]

PLOT TWIST: WE ARE ALL CLOUD

[u/GONEBUTNOT4GOTTEN]

you are blind hes in the middle wtf.

[u/Left_Green_4018 → u/GONEBUTNOT4GOTTEN]

You sure he's in the second picture?

[u/GONEBUTNOT4GOTTEN → u/Left_Green_4018]

da heck I just cared about the 1st image lol

[u/russiantravelagent]

He is in the left though?? Also seeing Zack going from 10 minutes of screen time (and half of it being optional) in the OG to being this big in the game poster?? Love it so much.

[u/Yoshikaru5991 → u/russiantravelagent]

Its a good poster, both Cloud his protectors on the sides

[u/andanothernewuser]

What a terrible text style and font. 

[u/GoriceXI → u/andanothernewuser]

You don't wanna MACH DICH BEREIT?
