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

13. Bodybuilder Cameos

Anyone who's played the original game will fondly recall Wall Market's Men's Gym, which of course makes a shiny new appearance in the remake.

But what's especially interesting is that the three main bodybuilder NPCs are actually based (loosely) on real people.

You'll meet head trainer Jules alongside Ronnie and Jay, who to anyone who follows bodybuilding are clearly named after and vaguely styled in the vein of world-famous bodybuilders Jules Bacon, Ronnie Coleman, and Jay Cutler respectively.

It's an insanely niche nod, but one that fleshes out this section of the game in a manner both amusing and unexpected.
