Chocobo GP Cloud: How to Unlock the FF7 Character

Cloud Strife is one of the most beloved characters in the Final Fantasy franchise, but how can you unlock him in Chocobo GP?

There are a couple of different ways that players are able to get the FF7 protagonist in the new karting game.

Unfortunately for Square Enix, these have not come without some controversy surrounding the new Nintendo Switch title.

As noted on the official Square Enix site, one of the ways in which you can unlock Cloud is by purchasing an optional Prize pass:

“If you want to get even more out of Chocobo GP, you can spend mythril to purchase an optional Prize Pass, which grants access to an additional set of season rewards. 

“For example, in the first Season, you can earn none other than Cloud Strife as a playable character!

“There’s also the Premium Prize Pass, which grants you 60 levels’ worth of season rewards – enough to get Cloud instantly!”

The other way in which players can get the Final Fantasy VII character is by grinding all the way to Level 60 in the Chocobo GP mode.

Players have been taking to social media to express their anger at the inclusion of the paid optional elements, especially if they have already paid £40-£50 for the full retail version.

One gamer tweeted: “Everyone is complaining about the grind, but by far the worst thing about #ChocoboGP is that MYTHRIL EXPIRES.  

“This is a premium currency that can be bought with real money and it vanishes in 5 months.  This is unacceptable and must be changed. #NintendoSwitch”
