Japanese video game publisher Square Enix has announced the addition of Bring Arts action figures featuring Final Fantasy VII characters Cloud Strife and Tifa Lockhart.
These figures will be available for pre-order on Japan’s Square Enix e-Store for a price of 13,200 yen each (~$87). Notably, the re-release will not include NFT certificates, unlike the original versions.
The Cloud Strife Bring Arts figure was initially revealed in July 2022, followed by the Tifa Lockhart figure alongside Aerith in September 2022. Both releases included NFT certificates, a decision that drew criticism from fans and collectors.
However, Square Enix’s decision to exclude NFTs from the upcoming restock is a departure from this approach.

The company made no mention of NFT certificates during the reveal of subsequent Final Fantasy VII Bring Arts figures in February 2024, including characters like Yuffie, Vincent, Cid, and Cait Sith. The absence of NFTs in these releases marked a departure from the previous integration.
Square Enix confirmed the omission of NFTs from the replenished Cloud and Tifa figures via the e-Store’s official X account. The announcement was accompanied by a disclaimer stating that the products will not include digital, authentic product certificates.
The Final Fantasy VII Bring Arts figures of Cloud Strife and Tifa Lockhart will be available for purchase again on July 27, 2024.
