>Implying poison is a main character.
>Implying the reason poison didn't become a "man" was because people in the west didn't like the idea of a woman being beaten in a game.

Google poison story and you will understand, internet memes aside she's a girl and the jap devs decided to just say "it's a transvestite you guys can beat it now don't worry!" and americans said, nice!

Wasn't Cloud extremely not okay with it though?

I've never played FF7, by the way.

>transwomen are men so you can beat them and it's fine
Just to think that most people probably still think like this.

Well, it allowed them to get the game in the US market back then else it was going to be censored lel.

I really wonder how they're gonna pull this off in the remake. Like, I can't think of a way for Square Enix to have a crossdressing Cloud in 3d without him looking like an utterly cringey hon.

Nigga, he's literally lightning with a more feminine face.
Like, lightning is the anorexic hon version of cloud with pink hair.

>>8596590
Most of their main characters look like they are part female. I don't think they will have a problem.

Check also this shopped version where they took the advent children cloud and put on longer hair / purple dress.
They didn't even change the face.

I'm more worried about them fucking up Red XIII and Barret hand than cloud being a hon.

One last for good measure because I'm kinda laughing here when both are on the same picture.

I will let you anons be the judges.

The real question is whynis ff7 getting a remake when FF9 WAS THE BEST FINAL FANTASY EVER MADE!

Cloud's face is notably more angular than Lightning's. Compare that picture and it's pretty obvious.

>>8597175
Her name is Claire, too. I can totally see Cloud transitioning and keeping the "Cl" part.

She was trans from the get go.

If you put even 5 seconds of thought into it "We made her a transvestite because America" is an incredibly stupid theory

Well, lightning strikes from a cloud so...
