2/2
SYACI got inspired again with Squirrel_of_Mibu's Memory's Struggle in ch32. They confirmed with me that this was indeed purple (I based it on the OG's Cloud purple). Originally finished and published on 9th July 2021 (I forgot to add the date...)
Squirrel_of_Mibu's fanfic:
https://archiveofourown.org/works/26046520/chapters/78656443
1st pic: A scene from the above fanfic, while Sephiroth didn't exactly turn to stone, he was indeed 'broken' as mentioned by Genesis while Cloud grew embarrassed at this scene. Aerith's dress is my original design, I wanted her to wear the red one from the game but Genesis is already red enough. And I didn't want her to wear pink again, in CC she wore white/baby blue, so I went with something similar.
I also assume Biggs just turned 17/18? Didn't give him his trimmed beard since I didn't want him to appear 'too old'.
2nd pic: This dress is my design, it's also somewhat inspired from Melia's outfit in Future Connected, Xenoblade1. This was the style I had in mind when reading the fanfic, only to realise that 'skirt' doesn't mean it's a miniskirt XD May be a bit revealing for a 14/15? Though Cloud is internally 24/25. It was fun to design for a character that's not too buff or too lanky, and that the 'puffs' on his shoulders should hide his somewhat buff frame.
The Kirbyroth holds a pear to reflect that Cloud had thought of Sephiroth's famous line: "Shall I give you despair?" I didn't want to ruin the scene in the first pic, so I sent cutie Kirbyroth in my own design instead to do the job haha.
I have to say I really love the details Roberto Ferrari had put into the Remake dress. The details were fun to draw (And difficult to wrap my head around them!) out of all the Cloud dresses from the game, this is my fav (especially since the method used to get the best getup in the original game is somewhat similar for this one)
