The Elite Order of Cloud

@ Mako: Well the point would be that he wouldn't like it at all, not that he'd be all, "w00t lookitmewhee!"

And it was merely a what if statement. Whatever something had been thrown into the mix to make it happen? What if all soldier members had the potential for wings but there had to be some sort of catalyst to make it happen?

also lol @ that pic, Bella. I'm sure Cloud would love those. Especially if they came with those panties. :monster:

Try some Red Bull.

I'm sorry, I think Sephiroth + a sugar high would = disaster!

Of course, he causes that without sugar too. :P

I don't think Cloud would gain a wing either, at least not through the Jenova cells.

Gah! I'm such a dunce I did not join the Cloud Club!!! Can I join? Pwease? I'm a BIG fan of Cloudy! Also, I like Cloud because, as others have said before, he's not your run-of-the-mill Hero. I like the fact that he often struggles ALOT with it but manages to climb up from it and help those he cares for. Cloud comes off to me as naturally not very optimistic but he does care very much and he's just plain bad at socializing LOL. I think his strength are his friends whom he cares for so much and this helps him in the end to overcome his current insecurities and slowly makes him stronger. Cloud is very interesting to me (as Sephy is) and I find his character rather unique. That's why I like Cloud ^_^. Count me in!!!

Yey! Thank youz! Any Cloud topics atm, though I have to say I love how he was done in Dissidia. It's pretty awesome and he has some of the coolest limit breaks ever. ^_^!

I love Cloud's fighting style and look in Dissidia, despite it not looking very different than his original FFVII one. But I guess Amano decided not to shoot random beads and shit at him for some reason. :monster:

You know, I hope if they remake FFVII they'll have a part that shows Cloud telling Zack's parent's what exactly happened to Zack and all. Or maybe they'll show that in AC Complete. Or in the novellas. But I would to know how Cloud deals with that pain in one way or another.

Btw, I love your sig Aerith. Very nice.

@ Mako, wow... thank you ^_^! I randomly just took it from the front cover of teh ACC BluRay just to show support for it and I made my avi too, but ya. Still, glad you like :). Also, I like that his outfit wasn't purple like it was in FFVII XD. I seen gameplay of his limit break on youtube and I tried to count how many times he strikes the opponent with it and I think it was like maybe 15 hits in a row XD. I'm really bettin they will make FFVII, Mako lol. Just not right now cuz too many damn projects on their somewhat cracked plate HAHA. I have some good faith they'll remake it and that mark the end of the Compilation ^_^!

Let's hope you're right. :monster:

And I don't like Cloud in purple, either. XD

So anyway, new pics recently of Cloud and Marlene. ADORABLENESS!!!!

What are all of your thoughts on the issue of Cloud as a father figure? I for one like it. I find it absolutely adorable especially given his personality.

I think Cloud would make a great dad - scratch that, he does make a great dad! He is laid back and not easily excited; while he's always on the go, it's business related, not really his self, if you get what I mean. Cloud has patience and a straight forwardness that is necessary in parenting - for all that I know (I'm not a parent!) He's definitely the provider type. Mind you, I'm speaking about him when he's not depressed or confused by Jenova cell influence.

Ah, awesome! We need more people in this club. :monster:

And yeah, I love the idea of Cloud with kids. It's just so cute, because he just doesn't seem the type. That scene that we will be getting with him taking Marlene home alone will make ACC worth it for me. And yes, there are some people who say they don't want it, but oh well, screw them. :)

Ack, sorry I don't know where I've been. I'm sure most of you know what a fan of Cloud I am. He's among the best in the series, second only to Vivi :P.

I think my favorite thing about Cloud's character is that despite the identity crisis and being socially inept he still manages to be a badass. Someone was trying to convince me the other day that Cloud isn't a badass, I need to show him this latest trailer.
Sorry for the overusage of the word, but he's even and odd-sort of badass. He's not the Dante-type: mercilessly cocky and nonchalant, nor the Vash/Zack-type: friendliness/goofiness that hide incredible power. He was an anti-hero before it was as popular as it is now, but even now he's still a little unique. He doesn't hide his power but he doesn't flaunt it either. He's tough to explain, and I like that about a character.

As far as the next Compilation title goes, I want all of AVALANCHE in it and I want Cloud to be the leader. Because as awkward as he is, as Dissidia exemplified, he's totally a natural leader anyway. I don't want a rehash of his problems, but if FFXII proved anything, its that the main conflict need not be the main character's conflict.

Depending on the size and scope of the problem, I think it would be fun to see Cloud and his friends renowned as a force to be reckoned with. Different towns and people regard them differently, after all, AVALANCHE got rid of all their modern conveniences, forced people to start over. They're also easily blamed for Geostigma. Not everyone is very happy with that. On the other hand you could have the hero-worshippers, and the people that don't really care. It'll be really interesting to see where Square goes with it.

As for Kingdom Hearts, did anyone every explain why Cloud was cosplaying as Vincent?

*pants* sorry for the essay, had to catch up :P

*pants* sorry for the essay, had to catch up :P And Tenny, I know its been discussed elsewhere, but Zack repeatedly hugging Cloud is pretty funny, I must say.

....way too much typing...

And yes, Zack hugging Cloud is funny. =P
 
I think Cloud adopting some of Vincent's design in KH was to represent Cloud's dark past/nature without actually telling any version of it in KH.

And I agree with you ForceStealer, it is difficult to explain Cloud's attitude towards his own power (and how it relates him to everyone else). Cloud is so naturally badass his character seems almost neutral about it in some strange way.

I remember hearing a while back that Nomura made Cloud look like Vincent because he originally wanted to put Vincent in the first KH game but Disney for some reason wouldn't let him. That's just a rumor though and I guess I can't say for sure whether or not that's true.

And as for Cloud being badass and not really flaunting it, I have a couple theories about that. First of all Cloud was never a very confident child, so maybe in his mind his abilities still really aren't that big of a deal because, well, it's him. lol But really after all that he's been through I get the impression/idea/whatever that maybe his priorities have changed and he doesn't really want the attention. He's content to live a private life with his family and I think that's mostly what he's come to want nowadays.

When it comes to being renowned for past actions I'm not sure if he would want that. Maybe when he was younger, yes, but not any more.

Wow! That's an interesting rumor; and, if it would turn out to be true that Disney didn't allow Nomura to put Vincent in - I wonder why?

Cloud wanted people's attention when he was younger because no one gave him much attention. Especially Tifa, who he wanted attention from most of all.

I think, like you, Cloud's not one to really want or bask long in the spot light. He does what is necessary, I think, for necessity's sake - perhaps even for morality's sake too.

I don't think he'd want the spotlight either, but he's undoubtedly well-known now whether he likes it or not. But I actually didn't notice the turn-around, he wanted to join SOLDIER solely for attention, but once he has it (from the people following him in VII, for example) he's rather shy, tough still handles himself decently.
 
How well-known is Cloud actually to the public? I mean, if his actions as an AVALANCHE members were known I'm sure that some vengeful person, who lost someone in the #1 Reactor explosion, would search for him and then try to exact revenge.
And if Cloud defeating Sephiroth was well known, prior to AC, you'd think we would hear something in the novels about "Oh, it's the great Cloud! The one who defeated Sephiroth!"

We have no idea how much everyone else knows about the former AVALANCHE members. Although I think that the events in AC gave Cloud some (well-deserved) notoriety.
