The FFVII Remake X (formerly Twitter) account uploaded some detailed pictures of Zack Fair as he appears in the Final Fantasy VII Remake games. The post also provides details behind Square Enix’s design philosophy for him.
According to the post, the team referenced Zack’s original model when designing him, but they also kept in mind that he’s the light to Cloud. This contrasts him with Sephiroth, who is designed to be Cloud’s darkness. The full CG version of him combines reliability and kindness with a more intense look in his eyes. Since Zack in FFVII Remake is someone who matured as a person after going through his own adventure, his close-up CG has a calm and unflappable expression that’s very distinctly “Zack.”
The social media team for FFVII Remake has been sharing concept art, trivia, and screenshots since the first game came out. In the past, the account discussed Cloud in a dress, Rufus’s outfit, and Sephiroth’s redesign. As Zack is a popular character, the post has garnered quite a bit of attention, with many fans gushing about or discussing him.
Final Fantasy VII Remake is readily available on the PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox Series X, and Windows PC. The sequel, Rebirth, is on PS5 and Windows PC.
