Square Enix confirmed at Gamescom that Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles will adjust one of the game’s most well-known secret involving Cloud and the Materia Blade.
In the original game, Cloud could be recruited but required the Materia Blade from Mount Bervenia to use his unique abilities. In the new version, Cloud will join the party already equipped with the weapon, changing how the secret functions. This update raises questions about what will now take the place of the Materia Blade at the mountain summit.
Kazutoyo Maehiro, co-director of The Ivalice Chronicles, explained during an interview with Gamereactor at Gamescom:
"So our fans of the original might be familiar with this already but Final Fantasy VII's Cloud can join your party as a playable character. And in the original version there was a certain sword and if you wanted to use his specific abilities you had to get this sword. In good news, he will have that sword available, he has the sword with him when he joins your party. So I would like everyone to go and explore the place where that sword used to be and find out what was there."
