While the Final Fantasy series has given us many great characters over the years, one in particular has come to epitomise the series in many ways - the one and only Cloud Strife.

This video is a critical commentary on the character of Cloud Strife and is therefore presented to viewers for the purpose of criticism and commentary.
You only have to look at his cameos and appearances over the last 20 or so years, in everything from Kingdom Hearts to Super Smash Bros, for evidence of that.
Fans will always have their personal favourites, but I think even those who don't like Cloud or think he's anywhere near being the best Final Fantasy character would have to acknowledge that he's essentially become something of a symbol for the series as a whole.
In light of the renewed excitement and hype for the Final Fantasy 7 Remake, in this video I'll take a few minutes to explore the story and legacy of Cloud Strife and look at some of the reasons why I think he's such an enduring and popular character, so make sure you keep watching as I'd love to hear your thoughts too.
A lot of it really comes down to the fact that Cloud Strife is not a perfect or flawless hero.
Of course, when we first meet him in the game we're told that he's an ex-SOLDIER 1st Class, but that later turns out not to be true. I think it's precisely because of his human fallibility that he becomes a much more interesting character.
While at the start of Final Fantasy 7 he's presented as something of a stone-cold mercenary, fighting for himself and uninterested in those around him, as FF7 progresses his story gradually becomes far deeper and more engaging.
We find out that actually he never reached the level of SOLDIER 1st Class, and instead that he's been living a lie - partly out of shame at having failed to become the legendary soldier he wanted to be and emulating the great Sephiroth, but also partly because of the traumatic events he's subconsciously chosen to ignore.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on what you think makes Cloud such a brilliant character. Why do you think his legacy has become quite so enduring?

@adamhinton3663 3 года назад

A. Cloud Strife in the original game was not an emo. If anything he was a snarky jerk. The reason he has such a memorable and enduring legacy is similar to most heroic and iconic protagonists. He is flawed, makes many mistakes, has experienced trauma and joy, and often times is pushed into and pulled out of situations by friends and companions, without whom he would not have made it very far. Some examples would be Harry Potter, Naruto Uzumaki, and Wade Watts. These things make a character relatable and empathetic to us viewers.

@Auron1Roxas2 4 года назад

I hate when a character has a tragic backstory where the people they loved and cared about could literally die horrific deaths and because they’re not smiling and making jokes about it they’re labeled as “emo”.

@furyberserk 4 года назад

To be fair, cloud, the weak, sought to become like Sephiroth, the ubermensch, who felt different than everyone at birth, but still was better and played the roll. 5 years prior to the beginning, said roll model discovers both his origin and clouds were from the same place, one of shame and the other of reveali g torment so he burned it down, injuring and killing the others cherished ones, resulting in a confrontation of the angered weak and the deluded strong in a fight where everyone should have died and no one should know the story. The entire plot of the game happens before it starts and you are playing the aftermath, where the hero failed his dream and the villian already dead. Then it gets fleshed out later in a doomsday situation. The premise of the game itself is great already. The nomura said hold my beer.

@jackflynn412 3 года назад

Cloud is the most relatable protagonist I've played as in a video game since Raiden (from Metal Gear). But I'd go as far as to say Cloud is even MORE relatable. He's not some stoic ex-SOLDIER turned mercenary, he was a kid with dreams that wanted to be a somebody and failed at those dreams. He's not a boring generic badass hero, he was a loser who wanted to be a hero. That's why we love him. And it was so ballsy to have a protagonist with a mental illness (his PTSD). Great character

Cloud's journey through mental anguish, torn identity, and make poisoning shows just how resilient he truly is. He made his own self discoveries of what he is capable of. In a lot of ways we see him transform before our very eyes. Then you add the fact that he is in love with two women. One dies and leaves his heart tragically scarred. He ends up never taking g his feelings for Tifa for granted.

Cloud is that perfect mix of cool, aspirational, dorky, funny and relatable. You are in awe of what he can do but you want to protect him too. The level of vulnerability he shows when he questions his own existence and mental breakdown before clawing out of it to be a more authentic version of himself is subtle and realistic.

Who doesn't love a good underdog story? Basically Cloud was a kid with no friends who wanted to prove himself... And he failed at that, he didn't make it into SOLDIER. Yet, he still kept his promise to Tifa even while being a "failure" and by the end of the game, he became the strongest fighter he aspired to be

@SaitohYatate 2 года назад

Nomura took some heavy cues from Akira to conceive FF7, and it shows not only in the dystopian setting, but also in the story itself. Cloud is basically Tetsuo, if Kaneda (Zack) got killed early in the plot. Rather than getting consumed by his insecurities, he was forced to make a deep dive into his consciousness (with the help of Tifa) to overcome his fears and become his own man.

@lianzad.6788 4 года назад

Cloud and Ramza from Final Fantasy Tactics are my favorite FF protagonists :) Other great JRPG heroes include Kid and Serge (Chrono Cross) and Riou, Jowy and Nanami ( Suikoden 2 )

@shirox11 3 года назад

Cloud suffered from severe mako poisoning and that did a whole number of things to his mental state, he is not emo. He subconsciously blocks out alot of the trauma he went through until Tifa helps him recover his memories. Unfortunately the AC era of ff7 did alot to ruin Clouds character by regressing him and making him continually blame himself for Aeriths death.If you look at it from just the original game and even the remakes perspective he is clearly not the moody guy they changed him into.

@anzo.p 3 года назад

As you learn to know Cloud you realise his life is one unfortubate mess and he is unlikely to stay sane with the contradicting thoughts in his mind and somehow get himself together. He is weak but still he gets to win all the fights that matter. This struggle is a very typical one that most of us go through in life. I think thats what makes him so relateable

@NYCHeavyHitz212 3 года назад

@elizabeth4689 3 года назад

"him being a moody and unlikeable emo kid" but that's true? but I think that's what makes his character great cloud was weak, shy, and untalented. he hated himself so much that after the experiments his mind took on the personality of the person he always wanted to be: zack, the outgoing, strong, talented one. we've all at one point in our lives wanted to be someone else. so his character arc of realizing he was an imposter and shredding zack's persona & finding his own inner strength makes him more relatable than any other hero to me.

@thomasward3717 10 месяцев назад

I'd always hated FF7 growing up because my brother played it so much and I was bored of the combat. Fast forward 15 years and I had a debilitating alcohol addiction that I was saved from, I don't know why, whether for nostalgia or God but for some reason something inside me told me to play this game straight afterwards. I then found out why people love this game. A main driving point of this story is about a man who not just the system, but he himself saw as a failure. With failed dreams, a broken heart and an identity crisis. But in giving his life away for a cause greater than himself he became a man people relied on. No longer defined by his mistakes and no longer running away & trying to be someone else, but someone who cares for people and a world bigger than just himself. I am proud to say through the revelation of good information which included this game I am slowly becoming the man I always wanted to be just like Cloud. Thank you Square Enix for FF7 for your depth in character development and genuine heart in your writing.

@monojuice 3 года назад

The thing I love about Cloud that I didn’t even realize until recently when I read something by Nojima about the remake is that *SPOILER!!!!!* Since Cloud was basically in a comatose state for those five years where he was a subject of Hojo’s, he basically mentally remained the same after he got out. Meaning that he’s 21 in ff7 but he still has the mentality of a 16 year old but he’s faking it, putting in a facade to seem like a man. He pointed out that when Tifa was sad after the plate fell and he seen how Barret comforted her he wanted to be able to do the same later on but failed. Just adds another layer to Cloud’s character that makes me love him even more

@RandoPassingBy 3 года назад

I know right! And Nojima said that he’s constantly trying to pretend to be cool and act like an adult when in reality he’s literally just a kid. And since he didn’t have friends in his childhood, and I’m sure he doesn’t have much either when he was in Shinra and didn’t know much about the way of how to live, he’s forced to stumble upon the society with absolute zero experience.

I think cloud didn't remember anything apart from the last time he recovered from MAKO poisoning and sees Zack ( a first class soldier) lying down to his death and telling Cloud that he will be his Legacy. In where Zack gave cloud the Buster Sword as a symbol of all great SOLDIER fallen before him. He might thought he is a first class Soldier instead of a regular shinra infantry basing on what Zack change he's attire and the the last person he had talk with that died defending him. He then take that debt in his heart to revenge Zack from SHinra Electric Company that leads him later to work with avalanche. Tifa help him to remember anything from his past.

The game is really good. I think it's less about Cloud and more about character dynamics... And the overall cohesion of the planet and life themes. Mako energy, The Shinra, Materia and Jenova are in my opinion the most important parts of the game. The overworld was like a globe too. It's a well designed game... Cid and Vincent are way better characters. I think that anyway... Cloud is cool because he learns that it's important to cherish every moment because in the blink of an eye, Sephiroth can take a lot away. Sephiroth definitely compliments clouds character. Also Omnislash.

@@gaspenpayne6755 im not being stupid i do know it came first it came ass backwards like starwars did that why the creator went back and filled in the word and story more with what is called world building so ething writers like myself know about when working on a story if his original plan was to have a while world in the first place but start us dead ass smack in the middle of it why did he way so long to fleash out the world with other games just to further the plot of the story instead of giving us oh hey ff7 2 or ff7 3 ..becuase when the original one was made he didnt think of that or how popular ff7was going to become

@@zuniversemangacompany6516 i'm not calling you stupid, i'm just saying what you said was stupid, because FF7 came first and got popular by itself without the other titles you mentioned.

Sefirot / O Fortuna - Those Who Fight - Cry Freedom. Viva Las Vegas. Mother Nature - the all consuming planet - Earth. It's our story 😉Why they try to get us to social distance.

Instead of hating, people should keep in mind that Cloud wasted 4 years of his adolescence because of SOLDIER and amnesia. Imagine a zoomer wasting a great deal of his adolescence, youth, etc fighting for his country and ending up being psychologically affected like Rambo. Then again! What do you haters care?!

I really do love Cloud, but Zack is my favorite character.

This is less of an analysis and more of a recounting everything we already know lmao and you said he will never be as good as a soldier wtf?? Stop putting out half assed videos to capitalize on remake lol

I do say, Cloud is acting quite dubious. I recommend we parlay and come to democratic election that results in his quick retirement.

NO a lot of people don't like him i.e. me because the cloud is no character, he is just a carbon copy of Zack's story until advent children when you see his character

Excuse me? He realizes he isn't Zack later in ff7 and he is STILL cracking jokes. Shut up

@@Killer_Kris7 that still doesn't change the fact that he didn't realize it till damn near the end of the game where Tifa had to help him remember who he was, so my point still stand he was 90% posing as Zack thru most of the game fact 1 : if you played Crisis Core when Zack meets cloud for the first time in the back of the truck as he introduced himself and literally said I from niblehelm the same home as zack and this was my first mission as a foot soldier point two when he first meets sephiroth is after zack attack him and he goes and picks up the buster sword and stabs him note at this time sephiroth is already mentally broken something that in the base ff7 game you don't even know of besides a flashback

@@zuniversemangacompany6516 I played crisis core. Cloud is a great character and a brave person. He is human and he has human emotions. He was fucked up because of the experiments done to him. So that should explain it

he has an iconic limt break omnislash, which is attacking blindly toward opponents. he has a famous arch enemy, Sephitoth. she has a woman who is considered one of the most iconic women in the gaming world, Tifa. He has an interesting background story. etc

@FF-Gamr 5 лет назад

I wonder how Omnislash will look in the Remake. Given the new battle mechanics maybe it would work better if it was similar in style to the one seen in Advent Children. Either way we're not going to be seeing it for a while, sadly.

@@FF-Gamr It would be awesome to see it animated him flash stepping around the battle field Ichigo Kurosaki style while slicing his opponent to ribbons.
