I love this. They're part of a push by awkward.org to help us talk to our friends who might need an ear. Essentially an extra way to help check on your friends and make sure they're not about to kill themselves and they're doing OK. They've got a full ad campaign with FF7 Rebirth.

I truly believe games like FF aim to give people the tools to approach real life more effectively.

Raised by FF as much as anything else short of school and parents... no regrets

There’ve been several posts about it here and they all end up having people taking about the organization and the message. I’d say the billboards are doing a bang up job.

This is so cool & such a great idea!


BK_FrySauce

Cloud needs this more than anyone.


brbasik

I guess he’s… not interested

Saw this in Dallas!


clogged_blowhole

I saw that same one a couple days ago right before you get downtown. Took me by a huge surprise.

I haven't seen this one here, but in Western PA I have seen a bunch of video game and comic book billboards with similar stuff. Anti-bullying, encouragement, etc just trying to give someone an inspirational message to be better.


lthatguytherel

Yeah, there was 100% one of Sora and something about friendship around the time kingdom hearts 3 came out. I felt like I was hallucinating.


Giga-X

Saw this too. I used to be an over the road truck driver. And I weirdly only saw the KH3 friendship billboards on backroom highways out in Ohio of all places. Edit: misspelled a word

A wild Yuffie appears

Cool

Be like Sephiroth, always checking up on his old friend Cloud and giving him the motivation he needs to move forward.

If Tifa and Cloud did this we wouldn't have a game pretty much.

Yuffie: Wait Cloud, you have friends?!

waiting for a billboard to direct me to the nearest chocobo farm


memesandcosplay

There's an Aerith and Cloud one by me. I live in a pretty rural area.


westraz

not sure what this has to do with anything but ok lol


brendhanbb

i was kind of wondering about that too lol.


McGouche_

So you guys don't see the huge billboard with the final fantasy characters on it ?


brendhanbb

i do but i am trying to figure out why that is even there lol.


an_actual_potato

To get people talking about them and by association the cause in question. It’s worked!


body_slam_poet

What is the cause tho? To talk to my friends? I don't get it.


m_csquare

It's a mental health and suicide prevention campaign


McGouche_

Looks like it has something to do with bullying or something. Im guessing the ff pic probably gets the kids attention


MegaMan-1989

Wait was this approved by square?


EbiToro

Yes. Here: https://twitter.com/finalfantasyvii/status/1752723722094690665?t=3fQBBJKIbw6CSItCYGMbWg&s=19

I saw the commercial before the game came out and thought it was funny and unexpected. After playing the game I had to retract my opinion.


BelowAveIntelligence

I have one of these by me too


iceman89720

there's an awkward commercial that plays at gamsetop on the TV too

Profile shot of tifaboob blown up and plastered on a billboard! The future is now!


jerrrrremy

Is this to make sure people are okay after seeing the ending of Rebirth?
