The most important thing to know about Cloud is that he's not interested.

[TheMightyMcClaw]

Most Final Fantasy protagonists end up being kings and queens in their epilogues.
Cloud ended up driving for Uber Eats.

It’s easy. Cloud didn’t know when his birthday was at the beginning of our journey because his memories were mixed due to the experimentation by hojo.

You can now add dancing to his hobbies.

What I always wondered about was the fact that Cloud actually suffers from motion sickness (which leads to a very funny scene in Crisis Core), yet he is still able to ride on a motorcycle and to drive the submarine in the FF7 maingame. It got all cleared up when I read that it's only the case when Cloud's not the driver. When he's driving, he's not suffering from it.

SQAURE took full advantage of the spikey hair anime character trend that hit the U.S HARD in the mid to late 90's...for the longest time growing up I knew FF7 as the spikey hair, church girl and guy with the gun-arm game.

A lot of people call Cloud "Emo" he isn't "Emo". He actually suffres from PTSD aka Post Tramatic Stress Disorder. As a result of experiencing his friends and mother being killed by his formal Role Model. As well as had a sickness that could have killed him. And was expermented on.

Note Cloud calls himself an EX-SOLDIER. In FFVII he is 21. He became a SOLDIER at age 14. So from age 14 to 21 (7 years) he had experienced ALL OF THIS. If you think anyone would be Mentally sound after experiencing ALL OF THIS as a teenager/Young Adult. Maybe you haven't played the games, are just going off of what the haters or ill informed said on the internet, Dont like the game at all or don't know the character well enough to make a judgment call on his personality and him as a character.

i got all of this information from simply watching clips of the movie, playing the remake /seeing the cut scenes in said remake and reading the character's profile. I am a NEWBIE to Final Fantasy and Did more research. And even I a NEW FAN can see that it's deeper than him just being Overly emotional or "Emo". He went through so much trama in such a short period of time. It took 7 years for him to finally get out of that hellish situation. You as an ADULT in wouldn't even be the same if you had experienced all of this NOW as an adult. Now imagine all of this happening when you are a 14/15/16/17/18 year old KID. 😕

Another fun fact: I share a birthday with Cloud’s Japanese voice actor, Takahiro Sukarai :)

[therealsquimby]

I feel like Cloud gets more and more moody with every game. In FFVIIR, he's very serious, but in the original, he says phrases such as "hoo boy."

This was the greatest image I've ever seen in my entire life 4:20

LOVED how they did the sword fusions in AC

[barbatos]

His hair in advent children was awesome *-* so is his face '-' there's nothing wrong with his eyes

[mazokuwolf]

Cloud and Sephiroth definitely had some berserk influence whether the writers admit it or not. The betrayal of a long white haired angelic looking man with a sleek sword vs another man filled with rage that has a giant broadsword.

[boogame]

Did you know. He’s actually not an emo in the original game!

[carlcarlington]

I actually really like the idea of cloud having like 7 swords including his buster sword and I REALLY want cloud to be dlc for soul Calibur

[gerardjaleo]

Talking about birth dates and inconsistencies... Tifa: In very version or non-canon games, Square always messing it up with her last name: Lockhart / Lockheart

[aprilmaryland]

To add on, that's why I don't mind the original graphics to FF7...it's a time capsule of it's era of 90's anime style period... FF8 was hard to get used to for me because I was too used to running around looking at overextended Spikes @ the back of Clouds's head..I was one of them ppl who FF7 was my 1st RPG ever... It's just that cartoony/anime vibe Cloud had that u loved playing him as a main character... Plus he had a huge ass sword that was bigger then him lmaooo .... I look at FF7 alot different now BUT growing up that's why I looked at the game.

I thought I was not going to learn anything new. Wow!!! Thank you.
This is

You guys are a living final fantasy encyclopedia lol. Thanks for the great video. You never disappoint

[ignis]

I feel like "shut up and take my gil" sums up every time I go to a shop when they have a dialogue before they buy/sell, though I can't think of a final fantasy game other than XV and Rin from X at the moment that had those scenarios
