The 7 best hairdos in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth: A fashionable saga

Welcome to the world of Final Fantasy, where heroes and villains clash and fashion statements are made with every hair flip and sword slash.

We gamers are all bubbling with excitement over the newest installment in the franchise, the second part of the trilogy being made as a reimagining of the iconic video game Final Fantasy VII.

Well, in the world of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, your hairstyle is as much a part of your arsenal as any weapon. We see plenty of wild and different hairstyles, and they all somehow reflect the person whose head they sit upon in some way. These hairdos are not just personal choices; they’re extensions of the characters’ identities. Whether you’re fighting Shinra or just enjoying a visit to the Gold Saucer, remember: your hairstyle is a powerful expression of who you are.

Let’s dive into the top seven hairdos that not only define these character but also inspire us to bring a little bit of that flair into our own lives.

7. Aerith Gainsborough's braided elegance

Aerith, with her gentle strength and connection to the Earth, sports a braid that's as intricate as the criss-crossing streets of Midgar.

Adorned with flowers, her hairstyle is a tribute to her role as the heart of the planet. It whispers stories of hope, resilience, and the beauty of life, even in the darkest of places. Her style speaks to her deep connection with the planet, weaving beauty and strength into a singular expression of grace. Her hair is very much like her: subtle and gentle, yet leaves an impression on us all.

Her braid is not just a hairstyle; it’s a crown of nature, weaving grace and vitality into her character.

6. Elena's sleek sophistication

Elena, the Turk with a flair for both combat and style, stomps down onto number 6 with her bossy attitude.

Her hair is kept neat and professional, much like a Karen, in a sleek-style and bob that’s as sharp as her wit. It’s a hairstyle that means business, symbolizing her dedication to her role and her ability to keep cool in any situation.

Basically, Elena's hair style screams, "I am sophisticated and ready to kick ass."

5. Rude and the bald brigade

Introducing Rude and his gang of bald comrades brings a whole new dimension to our list.

Their clean-shaven heads are not just about aerodynamics or intimidation; they're a statement of power, authority, and a no-nonsense attitude toward life and combat. This collective of bald brilliance proves that style and substance need not rely on the presence of hair but can be boldly asserted through character and presence alone.

Also, they don't need to worry about making sure their hair is tidy; no need to worry about long locks getting snatched in the middle of a fight... They're onto something here.

4. Roche's wild and free mane

Next we have Roche, the motorbike-riding, adrenaline-pumping SOLDIER turned rebel.

His hair flows as wildly as his passion for speed and battle. With strands that seem to dance with the wind, Roche's hairdo is all about freedom and the thrill of the chase. It's the ultimate "catch me if you can" statement, and we're all just trying to keep up.

I need tips on how he gets his hair to fluff up like that. I've tried many different things, yet my ponytail always give me flat hair. What am I doing wrong, Roche?!

3. Cloud Strife's gravity-defying spikes

Cloud Strife, the poster boy with the moody gaze and the hair that could pierce the sky, sits in third place.

His iconic spiky hair is a symbol of rebellion, perfectly suited for someone carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders...or the weight of a giant freaking sword. It’s a look that says, "I'm ready to fight my past, present, and any bad hair day that comes my way."

I can only imagine the amount of hair gel he needs to use to get his hair to stick up like that. It's truly amazing.

2. Sephiroth's silky and menacing silver locks

In second place we have Sephiroth, Mister Steal-Your-Mako, the handsome devil of an antagonist whose silver hair flows as smoothly as his swordsmanship. His hair is a testament to his otherworldly origins and unmatched beauty, I mean, power. It’s both a halo and a shadow, ensnaring friend and foe alike in its mesmerizing sheen.

Can you imagine his nightly hair routine? How long it'd take to blow dry it? What kind of hair serum does he use? Is he L'Oreal worthy? I have so many questions and so few answers.

1. The Chocobos

How dare you forget the iconic Chocobos, with their magnificent plumage that puts most hairdos to shame?

These feathered friends sport a natural style that’s both functional and fabulous, ranging from the sleek and smooth to the wild and fluffy. Some have vibrant yellow feathers, others vary in hue. However a chocobo looks, they symbolize freedom, adventure, and the unbridled joy of roaming the vast landscapes of Gaia.

The Chocobo’s “hairdo” is a reminder that sometimes, the best style is the one we’re born with.
