Astro Bot head says "it's difficult to comment on" why Final Fantasy 7's Cloud didn't make a cameo

Astro Bot is stuffed with little robot guys cosplaying as gaming icons from across PlayStation history, but the game’s lead has now opened up about the one essential character that’s missing.
Sure, https://www.gamesradar.com/games/platformer/astro-bot-collectibles-bots-puzzle-pieces-warps/
’s own God of War, Ape Escape, and Shadow of the Colossus - or famous faces from other companies, like Tomb Raider and Crash Bandicoot.
Since the joyous platformer jumped onto store shelves, however, more than a few players have complained that Cloud Strife is missing, in spite of how monumentally important Final Fantasy 7 was on the PS1. In fact, publisher https://www.gamesradar.com/uk/tag/square_enix/
has no presence in the game, with Dragon Quest, Kingdom Hearts, and Nier all omitted, which is particularly strange since the game’s free predecessor Astro’s Playroom at least makes reference to Cloud’s big buster sword.
In an interview with https://www.gamefile.news/p/astro-bot-playstation-icons-shadow-of-the-colossus
, Team Asobi studio head Nicolas Doucet hinted that the development team had eyed up a Cloud cameo that never got approval from Square Enix. “It’s difficult to comment on that,” Doucet said. “We really respect the choice of each publisher.”
