20200107 - Dissidia Final Fantasy - Player at cabinet with signed Cloud Strife standee cardboard cutout - Team NINJA..Koei Tecmo - 2015 - Shinjuku Sportsland Honkan - Shinjuku - Resized.jpeg

A two-part taped-up standee of Cloud Strife has producer signatures for expert nerds like me and a simple nametag for the rest: Final Fantasy VII, Cloud Strife.

Signatures are Hazama Ichiro, Producer, and… someone else. Expert.
