When the Japanese Magazine Famitsu was released this week the main page was featuring Final Fantasy VII and most importantly talking about Cloud and his story, also noted that He's the most popular Character ever in Japan.. ( Wait why would they talk about Cloud and FFVII suddenly now?? could this be.. the most wanted game? ffvii remake anyone?) :P

Do you agree that Cloud is the best FF character so far??

Cloud's my favorite protagonist thus far in the Final Fantasy series thus far. Doesn't make him the best. But I think he becomes a character that's easy to relate to as the game progresses. He's pratically defined by his failures.

its not suprising, but that doesn't make cloud a good character. It just reafirms my belief of the uselessness of final fantasy after 6.

He's OK, but Barret's "folksy" language was much more engaging.

I agree with this statement.

Their both almost the same. What makes one better than the other? Squall personality sometimes is really annoying, even more than cloud in AC. Still none of them is my favorite character.

Sorry...but substance over style protagonists don't get popular...........lol Cloud is actually the worst protagonist along with Tidus (although he improves as the game goes along). Cloud never really changes. Sure he learns about his past but he is still as brooding as ever, especially in that crappy Advent Children movie. I think both Terra AND Celes are the main protagonists of FFVI, both are substance over style characters. They don't have big swords or bad attitudes, but fit their game and its theme the best (along with FFIV's Cecil). And both women are very dynamic characters they grow as the story progresses.

One thing that puzzles me here.. why talk about cloud suddenly now? and why ( from the scan) compare the diffrence as the PS1 version on the right and HD version on the Left.. im guessing their showing how the game will look if its remade.. so many things from that page alone :P

How did they come to this conclusion? Also, I don't believe that he is more popular than Mario, even in Japan. [QUOTE="funsohng"]not really.

I myself find cloud a very decent character and his story that was shown on Advent Children was great.. Square even explained the Advent children movie on Blu-Ray version WAYY better than the DVD version.. i have both and when i watched the DVD version i was so lost that i had to watch it more than once while on Blu-Ray it just totally explained a lot of things... Cloud sure is a one Famous character.. seriously whenever someone mentions Final Fantasy im positive that 90% of people will think of either Cloud or Final Fantasy X

Cloud is better than Squall I guess... but I prefer Zidane, Fran, Balthier, Basch, Terra, and so many more heroes over Cloud.

Compared to some other characters in the series Cloud is as interesting as a brick.

Squall wouldve even been a better choice.

Hmm, I would have rather seen the slime from Dragon Quest get the nod. The little guy works so hard and yet, he never gets any credit.....

Seriously though, I would have thought that a character from Dragon Quest or Final Fantasy X would have gotten the top spot. Cloud is a suprise to be honest.

Zack is even worst. They are have 2 totally different personalities, but argh, sometimes Zack was really annoying in CC. I think the mix of cloud with zack, wich is FF7 Cloud, balances the 2 better. No too emo and not too cheerful and stupid. Cloud in FF7 was cool cause he took a bit of Zack personality, so he a few funny lines along the game.

I'd have a hard time judging Cloud as a character because he doesn't seem to have any distinct personality. But I've heard it was translated out, so maybe I just need to play the Japanese ver ...

Anyways, I doubt that Cloud is a bigger character than Mario.

Squall isnt emo. He's a loner.

Most loners don't actually want to be a loner. Squall actually does. And all of his lines just come off as emo rather than as a loner. At least those were my first impressions and I guess they stuck :P

Course there are reasons for his loner wanting personality. If you haven't beaten the game, probably should.
