E3 Final Fantasy VII Remake Is Coming In April 2020

Read Cloud's Japanese VA interview translated by Dualshockers:

As the interview points out, Takahiro Sakurai has been voicing Cloud for nearly two decades now. Sakurai first voiced Cloud in Kingdom Hearts in 2002. He later voiced Cloud on many other occasions such as Final Fantasy VII Advent Children and Crisis Core Final Fantasy VII. Dengeki Online first asked Takahiro Sakurai about what did he keep in mind when voicing Cloud in Final Fantasy 7 Remake:

Takahiro Sakurai: “When the original FFVII released, I was a simple fan who played through the game many times, and I never imagined to be involved in the series one day. There are two images of Cloud in my mind. The first one is the image of Cloud I have as a fan, and the other one is my image of Cloud as his voice. And they are completely different. One is about how much I enjoyed the original game, and the other is an objective viewpoint. But both are very important.”

Takahiro Sakurai: “There are many different players who enjoyed the original game and experienced the works of the FFVII series, so we had to keep a lot of subtleties in mind when voicing the Remake. Each scene had me comparing my opinion as to how the scene should be voiced as a fan, and how it should be when considering Cloud’s temperament and feelings. Many thoughts like this intertwined within my mind when voicing the Remake. Thanks to the Sound Director’s guidance, I managed to understand Cloud and meticulously voice his words. We did many retakes and we took our time, paying great attention to every single line… This made me realize once again how incredible this game is, and how this kind of quality is what defines Final Fantasy. Many lines felt refreshing, and there might be lines that will surprise the fans. I often found myself thinking “Cloud says stuff like that too!”. You should definitely look forward to it.”

In the interview, Dengeki Online also asked Takahiro Sakurai what kind of Cloud does he expects to voice in the future:

Takahiro Sakurai: “The first Cloud I voiced was the one in Kingdom Hearts. I couldn’t believe it and was so overwhelmed by the role back then that my acting heavily relied on the directing and instructions I got. Nowadays I think I’m closer to Cloud’s feelings. At the same time, I recently started thinking there are still sides of Cloud even I don’t know. Cloud is a huge existence in my mind, and it feels like I’m always chasing behind him. I hope I can get even a little bit closer to him.”
