Who IS Cloud?

September 12, 2007, 8:31 PM

We all say that he's great and all,but who is he? I don't mean stuff about his past,just who he is inside.Is he really a quiet person who doesn't talk very much and who doesn't like to say how he feels? Is there more to that or is the real Cloud a whole different personality? I would just like to finally know who my favorite FF hero is because I just found out that I probably don't know who he really is.

I think Clouds just a quiet individual. He doesnt like to express himself as much as others do and can put friends before himself. But he does make time to get to grips with his own situation.

I think you should see Cloud how you see him, not what others interput (sp) or say. Thats their view on him, you could disagree altogther.

He wouldnt be the same if he was loud mouthed and cocky. Cloud being quiet makes his character.

Hmm. Some different replies.

Before his "adventure", I think Cloud had the mind of a military man. Be great, contribute his service to his land, and fight for those he loved. Basically why people join today. He was probably pretty simple.

After "the game", I guess, he turned into a person who held all the regrets and felt bad. To break it down, a sobbing alcoholic minus the alcohol. He let himself hurt on the inside and became a shut-in.

After Advent Children, he realized he's not a waste and he needs to forgive and forget. Then he probably turned into his ownself and is probably just a regular person.

2 cents delivered.

I'm moving this into the FFVII section, please remember that threads concerning a main character of a certain game need to be in that section

On topic though, Cloud is...Cloud XD he may appear to be selfish when we first get to meet him, but he turns into a very selfless person, always putting his friends first

AC is a prime example of this, where he fights for the children, not for himself, and blames himself for Aeriths death, despite the fact he couldn't do anything to stop it.

GREAT topic, GunbladeGirl!

Cloud is/was a very outgoing, heroic person. There can't be any argument (another reason I hate Advent Children). The whole point of him discovering who he was was that he found out he wasn't so dissimilar from Zack all along. He was a badass, he was strong, he was capable of defeating the mighty Sephiorth.

No, he wasn't cocky, he was just sure of what he could do.

Um, yeah, samething.

Not at all. Being sure of yourself and being cocky are two totally different things. Cloud would have to be a dick about his abilities in order to be cocky, but he wasn't that way. He was self-assured, and he needed to be.

Being cocky doesn't mean you're a dick. To be cocky is to act like you know what you're doing and you can do it, which is exactly the same as self-assurance.

I'm cocky and I'm not a dick...I think...

Fuckin' Cloud.

No man, you got it wrong. Cocky is a negative thing, a bad characteristic, while on the other hand self confidence is a positive thing, he is confined in his abilities.
A cocky attitude would be if he was all like, "Wait I'll kick that monster's ass on my own" or " Sephiroth?! He's a no one! " that's cockiness.

OT: Cloud is Cloud, a person who's life all of a sudden becomes very complicated, the fate of the world falls on his shoulders, he finds out that he's not your regular guy, he becomes confused... He's a pretty complex character, which is why he is one of the most original and best out there.
