GR Pick: Massive Final Fantasy 7 Snow Sculpture
By John Jacques 07 February 2017
The Sapporo Snow Festival features two gigantic snow sculptures of Cloud Strife and Sephiroth from Final Fantasy 7, courtesy of the Japanese military and show organizers.
The Sapporo Snow Festival is currently taking place in Hokkaido, where the impressive local attraction will remain until February 12th. The event is an impressive display of gigantic and intricate snow sculptures put together by the Japanese military, who move an impressive amount of snow to get things ready for display. One of the main snow sculptures this year should be instantly recognizable to most gamers, as it features two characters from Final Fantasy 7.
The snow sculpture diorama shown above features a Buster Sword-wielding Cloud Strife bearing down on Sephiroth, who seems relatively disinterested in the entire situation. It’s probably a small mercy that the military didn’t show a more emotional Final Fantasy 7 scene like a certain one with Aerith Gainsborough, or the tears from nostalgic gamers would probably have poured forth and created an unintentional skating rink to go along with the winter fare.
