(I mean, it doesn’t work, but still.) When Cloud first meets him in person, he’s feeding some birds. Both Aerith and Elmyra speak about him favorably, with Aerith even attempting to dissuade any fight between Cloud and him. It is established that he has something of a crush on Tifa and that his AI will keep him from attacking her in fights. As I mentioned before, we don’t get to know much about him in Final Fantasy VII in general.
We don’t get an answer for convenient reasons, but it’s the first hint that maybe, even with them being with Shinra, there could be more to the group.Įven more telling is the depiction of Rude. He is going to offer some sort of background as to why he’s there, why the Turks are watching after Aerith. When Cloud is about to attack Reno again, maybe doing more serious damage, he starts to explain himself. Perhaps it was just me, but in my playthrough he was the first actually challenging boss and his interactions with Cloud before the fight offered a little foreshadowing while calling back to him being “weird.” It lent a little more weight to the idea of Turks being intimidating and elite.īut, more importantly, the fight closes with a hint of a conscience. He comes in with some general Shinra infantry, explains he’s something of a bodyguard-though mentions his involvement there was supposed to be a secret-and initially watches while his men attempt to rough Cloud up a bit. For example, the Final Fantasy VII Remake Reno depiction begins similarly. Rude was… well, there? It was more we had ideas of who they were, which was built upon with subsequent mandatory and optional encounters. Even then, we knew he did his job when he was on the clock, seemed to have an edge to him, and would say to do things like say not to step on the flowers after he did. The one character who received the most attention was Reno, and that was purely because we first encountered him when Cloud met Aerith in the church, again at the pillar, and even later in the Shinra building. It’s important to note just how little background we had about Reno, Rude, and Tseng in the initial Final Fantasy VII adventures in Midgar. Editor’s Note: There will be Final Fantasy VII Remake spoilers up to the pillar in Chapter 12. The Final Fantasy VII Remake Reno and Rude depictions, in particular, help provide a more solid foundation. But, absent that explanation, it might be difficult to see how they go from foes in the original game to something more cordial in media like Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children. Before Crisis: Final Fantasy VII went so far as to explain why its numbers are so drastically reduced by the beginning of Final Fantasy VII, why they’re loyal to Rufus Shinra, and even part of why they might be so eager to step in line. In Japan, the group made up of Reno, Rude, Tseng, and Elena received far more attention. When it comes to The Turks, the Final Fantasy VII sometimes antagonist and occasional ally group hasn’t always received the most exposition.
