Classic characters are getting design updates in Final Fantasy VII Remake, and, thanks to Play Arts Kai, we now have a good look at Cloud and Barret's new designs.

The new figures were shown off at Jump Festa, an annual convention held in Japan, and some fans were able to snap pics and upload them to ToyArk. Though we've seen Cloud Strife and Barret Wallace in previous Final Fantasy VII Remake trailers, this is the first time we've been able to observe the full design. Cloud Strife's design, for the most part, appears similar to his original Final Fantasy VII appearance. Barret, however, looks completely different with a much more realistically proportioned design compared to the original Final Fantasy VII. Those sunglasses are a classy touch.

Final Fantasy VII Remake is the long-awaited, and highly requested remake of Final Fantasy VII. While a remake, Director Tetsuya Nomura and Producer Yoshinori Kitase have signaled that there will be major changes to the core story, gameplay, and design of the original game. This includes splitting the game into a multi-part series, drastically altering the combat, and, as we can see, updating the character's designs.

Final Fantasy VII Remake is out sometime in the future. It will be a PS4 timed-exclusive title.
