Final Fantasy VII Remake: Every Easter Egg & Reference You Probably Missed

19. Cloud's Insane Hair Is FINALLY Explained

The game's opening train station sequence is absolutely littered with Easter eggs for eagle-eyed fans to catch.

For starters, those who pay attention to the station's walls will find an eye-catching poster for a Hair Tonic which promises not only "ideal scalp care" but also "astonishingly radiant and spiky hair."

This is obviously a not so subtle nod to protagonist Cloud Strife's iconic, absurdly over-styled hairdo, which is of course both luscious and ridiculously spiky.

And so, fans have finally been given an in-canon explanation for how Cloud's hair stays so improbably upright, as opposed to him simply being an over-designed character.
