Wondering why Final Fantasy 7's Cloud is oddly absent from Astro Bot? "It's difficult to comment on that" says Team Asobi's head
Briefly

Despite being a classic and the second best-selling game on PS1, Final Fantasy 7 and its iconic character Cloud Strife were notably absent from Astro Bot, likely due to licensing issues.
Team Asobi's head Nicolas Doucet stated an interest in including Cloud in Astro Bot but confirmed that they did not receive approval from Square Enix, highlighting the complexities of game licensing.
The omission of Cloud Strife from Astro Bot is a disappointment for fans, especially given the significance of Final Fantasy 7 in PlayStation's history, which makes its absence even more conspicuous.
Astro Bot will still introduce new cameos this year from Stellar Blade and Helldivers 2 as part of free content, showcasing the ongoing evolution of the game.
