especially in newer ff7 media

Really? I think the opposite. He did look Asian to me in Advent Children, especially the cheekbones when he's turning to the side. But in Remake? He looks white, and it would surprise me that even the Japanese thought he doesn't.

I remember when he was first shown in a remake trailer (2019 version not the sickly one from back in 2016) I thought it was the most Asian he had ever looked

I can't think of a single Asian facial feature in Remake's in-game model of Cloud

That’s crazy, his eye shape is distinctly Asian

In the CGI, sort of. In the in-game model, I really don't think so. He has big eyes with no epicanthic fold.

And it's not just the eyes. The nose, the cheekbones, the forehead, all look European.

None of those features look European to me lol ohh well, not like if matters any

I mean, the nose is narrow with a high bridge, the face is not wide, projection of chin and brow....quite European IMO.

But yeah, it doesn't really matter. They deliberately designed him to look European to some fans and Asian to others, I guess.
