With the sheer amount of role-playing titles under the belt of Square Enix, it is likely not surprising for fan interest to cross between several video games in the well-known developer’s universe. Recently, aFinal Fantasy 7 Remakefan shared an original artwork that combined the RPG with another Square Enix franchise, thepopular keyblade seriesKingdom Hearts.
ManyFinal Fantasy 7fans were likely impressed thatKingdom Heartsbrought in several of the game’s characters into the first and second titles. This included protagonist Cloud Strife, his evil arch-nemesis Sephiroth, and several other characters such as Tifa Lockhart, Aerith Gainsborough, Zack Fair, and Cid Highwind. However, players noticed asevere lack ofFinal Fantasycharacters inKH3. This likely resulted in confusion and disappointment, given that many Square Enix fans were looking forward to seeing them in the third title. Even so, the absence ofFF7characters inKH3has not deterred fans from making unique art that showcased what the characters would look like in the style ofKingdom Hearts.

On Reddit, user good223 shared an artwork created by Holley (@hollypolllyy on Twitter). The image depicted theFinal Fantasy 7 Remakechildhood versions of Cloud and Tifa in the popularKingdom Heartsstained glass style. Cloud is seen with his short ponytail, while Tifa is wearing a green dress thatFF7Rhas made more detailed in the game. For mostKingdom Heartsplayers, they would likely recall this type of art showing up in several parts of the game, usually in the beginning when players have to decide Sora’s starting build in-game.
On Twitter, Holley gave the artwork the title “Cloud and Tifa Stained Glass - The Promise,” alluding toone of the scenarios inFinal Fantasy 7 Remakewherein Tifa asked Cloud to promise to come and save her if she was ever in trouble. The artwork was actually commissioned by another Twitter user named Sassy (@SassyStargazer7). Holley noted that they loved making stained glass artwork of Square Enix couples, and would actually be open to making more of them in the future. The official Square Enix account even replied to the post on Twitter, giving encouraging words to the artist and calling the content gorgeous.
Final Fantasy 7 Remakeis definitely a series that will have more player-generated content in the future. As the game draws in more fans withIntergrade, theYuffie Kisaragi DLC, andthe eventualFF7R Part 2, fans will likely be more inspired to create fan art of the game such as one created by Holley.
