z FF7 Remake Play Arts Kai June 10th 2021

Today, the Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade update has gone live. The update adds PlayStation 5 graphical enhancements, such as new textures, enhanced lighting, a 60 frames per second performance mode, and a photo mode. A new chapter, known as INTERmission is also available for purchase, which adds Yuffie. To celebrate these updates, Square Enix Japan has revealed some new Final Fantasy VII Remake Play Arts Kai figures. Included are:

  • Jessie
  • Jessie with Motorcycle
  • Jessie and Cloud with Motorcycle
  • Red XIII
  • Rufus Shinra

The figures stand about 10″ tall, with about 30 or so points of articulation. Jesse and Rufus include interchangeable portraits, interchangeable hands, and weapons. The Jessie and Cloud set adds some hands and a sword for Cloud. Red XIII doesn’t look to include any swap out pieces. The figures are currently up for pre-order in Japan, we’ll update with our other sponsor links when they go live. See photos and additional details after the jump.

UPDATE:
Square Enix USA has opened up their own pre-orders for each of these releases. They are offering a 10% discount for pre-ordering. I have updated the links and details found after the jump. Pre-orders from other retailers should go live very soon.

TIFA PAK FFVII REMAKE 57

Final Fantasy VII Remake was a highlight of 2020, giving a nice break to the nonsense that was going on in the real world. FFVII has been one of my favorite properties since it dropped back in the 90s, and I’ve always had something repping it on my toy shelves once those were a thing. Play Arts Kai has also been in my rotation over the years (see our galleries here) – for FFVII it was Advent Children at first, then the early Remake figs (see first release Cloud and Barret here). Today we are moving on to the full, post-game versions with Tifa!

We’ve run Tifa for a full set showing off what she can do. Read on to check out some additional thoughts and over 55 HD images courtesy of Entertainment Earth!

FINAL FANTASY® VII REMAKE PLAY ARTS KAI™ Action Figure – CLOUD STRIFE VER. 2 LIMITED VERSION

This Square Enix LIMITED VERSION of Cloud Strife, protagonist of FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE, joins the fray once again as a PLAY ARTS KAI action figure!

This new version comes with an updated face sculpt, based on the in-game 3D model. With the faithful recreation of the in-game 3D model, we focused on the sculpt and paintwork to showcase all the subtle details, from Cloud’s confident expression, to his glimmering earring, and to the coloring of his eyes in this exquisite figure.

This “Event” Limited version is only available though Square Enix Store in North America, and comes with the Hardedge, an iconic sword emblazoned with 一刀両断 on the blade – which literally means “cutting into two with one stroke” and serves as a warning for any foe foolish enough to stand in the wielder’s way.
