Look, before you say anything, yes, we know that this is a news story based on a vague tweet - but the potential implications are well worth getting overly excited about. Steve Burton, otherwise known as the English voice of Cloud Strife, tweeted late last month that he'd be doing some voice work for the Final Fantasy VII protagonist in the near future. Obviously the timing is interesting because E3 is just around the corner.
So, what's the reasoning behind all this? Well, it could be to do with Final Fantasy VII Remake for a start - or, less likely, Kingdom Hearts III. Dissidia Final Fantasy is worth a mention as well, since Cloud's a playable character and it's yet to be officially revealed as a PlayStation 4 title (even though it's definitely coming). We could see any of those three games show up at E3 next month in one way or another.
Are you a huge Cloud fanboy? Await those dreary tones in the comments section below.

well we already knew about him being in the FFVII remake because he was in the trailer but yeah could be Kingdom Hearts III but i'm hoping for Dissidia PS4 myself
@FullbringIchigo Yeah, but if he's recording something new for Final Fantasy VII Remake then it could mean we're getting a new trailer. Either that or work on the English voice acting has already begun.
He's probably just confirming his work on the remake, but I hope it's Dissidia. I've wanted that since it was announced.
I really hope it's Dissidia PS4.
insert 'why not all three?' gif here
Not interested.
Just kidding! Clouds a babe.
I hope it's crisis core remastered on ps4
Maybe it's a new Swtich game? You can't tell me they made 2 versions of his amiibo only for use in 3 year old SSB on Wii U and 3DS. Maybe SSB4Deluxe on Switch will get Subspace Emissary 2? (Think of a 2D Kingdom Hearts Lite for those who don't know.)
All 3.
Funny, I've just been replaying FFVII.
On this topic, surely - SURELY - SquareEnix need to show something on Kingdom Hearts 3 at e3 this year.

Ok, by that reasoning we will be getting Bayonetta 3 as well I see more sense and possibility in Switch getting the VII remake port than getting SSE2, that is not even voiced.
I see that amiibo selling bucketloads just for nostalgia and collection value. But both of them have nearly the exact same pose feels like a waste though.
We will see what they announce though.
@sinalefa "I see that amiibo selling bucketloads"
Well they would actually have to make bucketloads to sell bucketloads. Considering Zelda BotW was the Wii U swansong and Switch launch title and it got 10's all around, those 5 or 6 amiibo are near impossible to find. Not even the Nintedo NY store carries them, my wife went in and asked a few weeks after the game released. So why make a lot of Cloud? They should, fan boys like me will buy them up, but I dont' see why they would.

Here you go, preorder it so you won't have stock issues later.
Thing with Cloud is that he crosses over to Sony territory, so it would make sense to make a ton of those. But then again, Nintendo does not make sense and they always underestimate demand so you better click on that link.
@sinalefa Thanks for the link.
You getting either of the Bayonetta? I prefer her look in the first game but I think I like the 2nd game amiibo better, something to do w/ her cape. And her feet look ridiculous hanging off of the age fo the base like that. I'm sure nobody but me would notice that, but it's like the amiibo glitched.
@rjejr
You should know me. Of course I am getting both. Jaxon got them preordered for me. And yes, literally the amiibo is not touching the base. Wolf Link is similar but they made some protruding rocks for him to step on.
@sinalefa Ah, the Jax Express, I should have known. Didn't notice Wolf Link off the base, that's still my favorite by far, tried to buy it, but as usual they stopped making it. That's the one my wife asked about in the Nintendo NY store that they said they stopped making. Pretty sad that Jax is a better promoter and provider of all things Nintendo than Ntinedo is. They really should be paying that man, he's a walking Switch advertisement. And I bet he's better at it than they are. "My Nintendo" not so much, but there's only so much anyone can do w/ that.
