Cloud Strife on a Segway is my new favorite Final Fantasy meme
polygon.comCloud Strife is cool, but he’s not. He can fight people on the back of a sexy motorcycle and yet he fumbles when he tries to talk to women. He’s tortured, but barrels forward with his convictions regardless. Cloud Strife contains multitudes, and I would argue that nothing embodies this vibe more than him riding a segway.
On Thursday, Square Enix released a new trailer for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. The game is the next installment of a series that reimagines the original Final Fantasy 7 RPG, which was released in 1996. The trailer looks stunning — old pals like Cait Sith return, and Sephiroth’s swooping locks suggest he’s found the world’s best hair routine. And while I can say I’m personally just as excited to join back up with Aerith and Tifa, one moment stole the show: Cloud Strife on that Segway.
It’s only a few moments, but we see him chugging along on a little Segway in a quaint seaside town. It’s truly a sight to behold — and if that wasn’t enough, Cloud also appears to be wearing capris or hiked-up joggers of some sort. The silly sight has inspired a wave of memes and fan art on social media sites like X, the social media site formerly known as Twitter, and Reddit.
