Being an early pioneer of 3D RPGs, Final Fantasy 7’s polygonal visuals haven’t aged particularly well in the 29 years since its original release, especially compared to the timeless pixel art that defined the series up until 7, but there’s no arguing OG Cloud and co. are some of the more iconic character designs in PlayStation history.
