I was having a chat with my friend the other day in the pub and we somehow got onto the subject of Clouds outfit.

Now, on the artwork, Clouds suit is blue. Cleary is.
However, on my game, his suit looks purple and always has. And Ive played this game on many TVs, so it cant possible be the TV.
Plus Rhea I believe had a picture as her sig once, which had Tifa saying "Yeah, but he wears a purple jumpsuit!"

So which is the correct colour of Clouds outfit and do you have a purple or blue one on your copy? Sorry if this seems like a pointless topic, but Im curious now. My friend has said its a waste of time as the artist have clearly coloured it blue.
 
Clouds outfit is Purple, the colors in the sketches aren't that accurate anyway, Tifa was shown with a Black top and red shirt i believe, and Aerith was shown with Blond hair...But yeah, Clouds outfits purple :)
 
It only appears purple in game kids.
Think about it, I mean what military force would have purple uniforms? Most Military attire is either blue or camoflauge; never purple.

Not to mention that Cloud is the only soldier in the entire game to wear a purple uniform. The rest of ShinRa's soldiers wear Blue.
It's just to make him stand out I say. =]
 
It's probably because Zack was a first-ckass Soldier, how many more of them do we see in the game? Except Clouds assimilation of one, none.

So im guessing that Purple is for first Class SOLDIERS :D

i cracked the code :ninja:
 
I know, that's what I was thinking for a minute too.
But...then I thought...throughout the entire game, ShinRa is sending soldiers after Cloud's crew. They constantly encounter ShinRa's forces.
Even when they were taken captive in Junon, and there are soldiers everywhere...no one is wearing purple. =x

So basically...even though ShinRa knew what a threat Cloud's party was...they only sent army doofs after them the entire time? =\
 
it could be because they sent all the 1st class SOLDIERs looking for Sephiroth, since he murdered the president and all. leaving only the grunts to go after Cloud and Co.

plus after they find Sephiroth theres the whole weapon thing so soldier would be too busy trying to protect the Shinra to hunt down cloud and co.
 
I've always thought it was blue...with a hint of purplish color, but definitely blue. Game or movie, it's always been blue or dark blue to me. If in any case I am wrong, then perhaps his clothing is dark purple that comes extremely close to being blue...


 
cloud is a kick ass Ex-soldier so he was given a different colour to make him stand out from the other weaker soldiers
 
I was going to mention something similar to this. In the game on the PS1, he has a purple suite and on Advent Children , it's the same one, but black? Think he looks better in purple on a game, and it looked better in black for the film.

Nah,I don't think so I mean if you saw him in last order you'll see that he's wearing a blue outfit not a purple 1 and I actually think that they made the outfit on the PS1 purple coz they don't care, I mean they didn't expect that the game will be a big hit.
 
In Last Order, Cloud was still a grunt soldier. He doesn't wear a first class uniform until FFVII begins. What color was Zack's uniform in Last Order?
 
In my PSX version, he wears a purple jumpsuit thingy... indeed, on artwork and in the movie he wears dark blue/black/grey things. In FFVII battles he's blue too, as I recall it. Rather odd to have colored him purple in the "field", but I guess that's just how it is.
 
I wouldn't think there's any particular reason behind it; they're just inconsistent people. However on my copy of FFVII, he's wearing purple.
 
In the game he was definately in purple. He definately looks differant in AC colourwise. I know it hasn't got anything to do with the FFVII story but I think he looks awesome in the KH games.

I think you got it. If you look at the Soldiers that you fight in the Shrina building and Junon area...you will notice that their suits are similar to Cloud's, only blue. Cloud's suit was probably some cute graphical error that the designers decided to keep.
 
i personally think your all missing it, i think clouds suit was purple as it made him stand out it had nothing to do with he fact he was supposed to be in soldier or even 1st class, purple is seen as heroic and important. no idea why the suit was change to black in the film, possibly something to do with his mood? as he becomes quite depressed in it.
personally much preferred purple.
