Learn More About Scarlet’s Footrest Soldier in FFVII Remake

Ever since the release of the game, Square Enix shared plenty of details and trivia about many major and minor characters that appear in Final Fantasy VII Remake. This time, the official FFVII Remake Twitter account shined the spotlight on none other than the Shinra Security Officer who is in charge of being Scarlet’s footrest. Naturally, his name is Ottoman.

Even though Ottoman works as a Shinra Security Officer, his duties do not see him facing Avalanche or other enemies of Shinra on the front lines. Instead, he has the very important and special orders to serve as a footrest for Scarlet, Shinra’s director of Advanced Weaponry, as seen in FFVII Remake Intermission, when she sits in her chair and heals her swollen feet.

Apparently, Ottoman’s back is especially cushioned for maximum comfort. Because he is Scarlett’s favorite employee, he is on duty almost 24 hours of the day. At the end of the tweet, Square Enix added the cheeky remark “I hope you all have a good rest of the weekend.”

彼の名前はオットマンといい、スカーレットが椅子に座った時に足置きになり足のむくみを癒す特別な命令を受けた兵士です!👨‍🏭👠
彼の背中は絶妙なクッション性🧽があり、スカーレットのお気に入りなのでほぼ24時間体制の勤務🕓になっているんだとか…。皆さんは週末しっかりとお休みくださいね！#FF7R pic.twitter.com/qcKgBgzcOf
