Kevin Bailey
i only remember the crossdressing part
Matthew Ramirez
And people say Snake had a hard life.
Kayden Hernandez
I was too young to make much sense of the story.
Jaxon Russell
The point is that he was emo before they knew this would happen. Of course he's not emo anymore by the end of the movie.
Also, I don't think people's main gripe with emo Cloud is AC, but that every spin off and crossover appearance afterwards was based off his AC emo phase.
Brayden Diaz
probably gets groped by barret all the time as well.
William Wood
Yeah, at the end of the movie, where he also has flashbacks of Zack and Aerith and is able to forgive himself for not saving them. Fun fact, Cloud is the only playable character in FFVII who doesn't have his own theme, but in AC he gets one.
I never played CC but that would make sense wouldn't it? It was before anything happened to him, so if he was emo in that, it would make no sense.
David Watson
You see, OP, the problem here is that you assume that people who bitch about Cloud have actually played FFVII.
Nathan Edwards
Forgot the part where he beat the shit out of Aeris after giving Sephiroth the black materia.
Sebastian Diaz
Yeh, but it's still appreciatable to see they didn't forget how he used to be after the way they made him in Dissidia and Kingdom Hearts, especially considering he's rocking his AC hair
Andrew Mitchell
goddamn this shit is really melodramatic and tedious
Jacob Taylor
Apparently in the upcoming Dissidia, they didn't use Clouds emo personality, but that was just what I've read so I dunno if it's true.
Robert Rodriguez
It really isn't if you play the game. Most of the things OP talks about, but the game doesn't harp on about them. For example, you know that his mother dies during the fire, but there is no dialogue about it.
Chase Hall
New Dissidia's actually going to have a story? Well, he does have a pretty confident look in his face during his intro
Aaron Bennett
There is nothing in the entirety of the FFVII collection that pisses me off as much as Genesis.
>HURR THE DUMBAPPLES OF THE GODDESS AND THE LOVELESS OF THE DUMBAPPLES
If they had cut him and Angeal from CC it could have been REALLY good.
Hudson Ross
In other words, people who LOVE "gamer culture" don't actually play games at all Not even popular ones
Michael Perry
Wasn't the entire point to Genesis that he's a colossal faggot anyway? His obsession with that pointless book wasn't meant to be meaningful.
He was amusing 'cause i played UNDUB so i was literally 100% beating the shit out of Gackt
Adam Thomas
I got 99 problems and a bitch is every last one of them.
James Powell
Director said that everyone in the game is being pulled from the end of their story or near the end of it. Y'Shtola is the exception due to FFXIV being an on going narrative.
Jaxson Morgan
No, that's the main theme.
Colton Hughes
Is Vincent the biggest cuck in gaming history?
Juan Cox
And Noctis apparently
Alexander Rodriguez
No, that tile if forever reserved for Anthony Burch.
Matthew Martin
Fuck Cloud, post Tifas!!!
Gabriel Fisher
I consider everything outside of the original something completely separated and no one can force me to see it otherwise.
Ian Rivera
God, I fucking HATED that guy. The scenes with him were literally unbearable.
Caleb Cox
Aeris are also welcome!
Parker Stewart
I don't think anything can come close to being cucked so hard you caused innocent people to die, mass killings, the world to ending multiple times. Everything that went wrong in the world of FF7 was because someone got cucked that hard.
Landon Lewis
Completely forgot since its been years since i played it.
Why did people in Nibelheim act like they dont know what you're talking about when u go back? Was it a Shinra cover up?
Logan Lee
You could say its while Noctis is "training" or whatever it was he did for 10 years.
Luis Edwards
Fuck off, we're actually talking about the game here.
Evan Stewart
Wasn't everyone in Nibelheim a clone/reunion thing or whatever?
Robert Price
I hate fags like you, go to /vg/
Benjamin Ramirez
Is there any good way to cheese the combat? I want to play this game, but I'm only interested in the story.
Xavier Reyes
It is. In a recent trailer, this is what he says as his pre battle banter.
Connor Bell
Man i really wish they'd bring back different intros for every matchup
Alexander Watson
u can easily put in cheats unless u play it on a PS1. and even then u can use a gameshark
Jackson Perez
>Was it a Shinra cover up? Pretty much, I believe the OVA also mentioned this a bit. Hojo pretty much came and turned the place into his experiment.
Benjamin Gomez
>Failed to live up to his dream and never became a member of SOLDIER he is a former sodier you fucking phaggot
Justin Perry
You bring up some good points, user. He becomes emo upon realizing his life was full of shit.
Asher King
You need to play the game again my man
Caleb Evans
t. either dumb or didn't play the game
Ethan Ward
the VIRGIN CLOUD the CHAD ZACK
Cameron Reyes
Am i being cheated?
Hunter Gomez
Thank Dirge of Cerberus for giving birth to that fucking nightmare.
Aaron Jenkins
How big are the chances that they will fuck up the remake?
Samuel Martinez
>Everything that went wrong in the world of FF7 was because Sephiroth's mom is a cunt.
Fixed that for you.
Grayson Carter
I don't doubt the gameplay will actually be pretty good, but everything else has too many red flags
Brandon Williams
Inevitable.
Asher Clark
You'd be a idiot if you think they won't.
Easton Gutierrez
Nomura is going to make the remake a success. It will be better than the original.
Elijah Perry
Cloud surpassed Zack in pretty much every way.
Isaiah Wood
It's guaranteed. There is no way that current Square Enix manages to re-capture the magic of Squaresofts creative peak that produced FFVII and a few other timeless classics.
Nathaniel Torres
Not in looks he doesn't
Hunter Morales
The reason people don't get it is that FFVII was, to some degree, him getting over most of the shit you listed.
Its reasonable there would be some after effects, and that Aetiths death hit him hard once the threat of Sephiroth/Jenova/Meteor was gone, but Advent Children didn't put in enough story to explain any of that. And it didn't really show him grappling with his own mortality (or Denzel's, really).
There was a bit of that in On The Way To A Smile, but those were never fucking translated officially and they aren't part of the movie.
Advent Children could be decent if it incorporated the story of the novellas and the OVA. But it doesn't. It has a few huge meaningless cool looking fights, and it's a bad movie.
David Hernandez
Lucrecia was the one true villain of FF7.
>How big are the chances that they will fuck up the remake? Hopefully this brings out more pregnant Lucrecia doujins.
Lincoln Hughes
If vincent wasn't such a beta than none of it would have happened.
Nathaniel Cook
This As pointed out though he was well presented in CC, it's just everything else seems to just be his emo phase as if the Devs thought that was his character and not a phase.
Isaac Hill
I like the poem reading faggot
Connor Turner
>gets to bang Tifa every night This should even things
Josiah Hill
By the end of AC:C Cloud fixed himself thanks to Tifa, Vincent, and Marlene and has surpassed Zack in combat prowess. Hell he fucking beat Sephiroth after fighting the other clones.
Josiah Gonzalez
Cloud surpassed Zack by the end of actual FF7, he beat Sephiroth when he was a demigod.
Connor Jenkins
I read some edgy shit that said apparently sephiroth didnt even try when he fought cloud
is this true?
Charles Turner
Of course it's true, Sephiroth is literally invencible If you want to see just a tiny fraction of his full power, then ask for my fanfiction
Isaac Lewis
I heard that too and it's pretty retarded "Dude Cloud never progressed and overcame Sephiroth like a normal hero instead Sephiroth just let his guard down and wasn't even trying LMAO"
Charles Perry
I like seeing him get blown the fuck out >mfw the fight scene on the cannon >mfw "You will rot."
Kevin Myers
Angeal/Seph/Genesis fight was baller
Nathaniel Davis
>tfw no one even remembers Genesis
I don't think Cloud ever even met him.
Jackson Hall
>Cloud not once says let's mosey in Advent Children
Fucking trash
:^)
Christian Ross
user, you don't realize something. Everyone is just wearing their iconic outfits. Almost all of them have their final outfits as alternate colors or alternate outfits.
Ramza doesn't even have his real final chapter outfit available yet.
Jack Stewart
Cloud was pretty chill in Dirge of Cerberus because he wasn't sad anymore but nobody cares because nobody played that game.
Adam Baker
don't forget that he's stuck with a manipulative whore who was probably the district bicycle
Nathan Sanchez
You can assume Tifa is a slut of you want, but when was she ever manipulative?
Jaxson Perez
>shitty localization
Noah Brown
This.
Cloud went through quite a conflict in FFVII. He goes from stand offish smug douche to completely unsure of himself, then he goes to fully motivated, badass hero. Thats a lot of personality change in one game.
And yes he had a pretty good reason to be bummed out in AC. Feels guilt over Aerith and Denzel. Feels powerless because he himself is sick. He just didnt want to burden his friends and Tifa.
Jaxon Walker
>supports his delusions at every step going as far as listening his retarded Nibel story with straight face >when he tries to DIRECTLY ask who the fuck Zack is, she dodges the question
Logan Stewart
Also, she basically made this delusional amnesiac who she literally only talked to like five times before into a terrorist.
Noah King
>she is fully aware he got super fucked up somehow and doesn't want to mindfuck him into a psychotic break
Let's say you are right, though, and she did it for selfish reasons. To what end? What does she get personally from that?
Brody Gonzalez
Lance Bass should be Sephiroth's VA :^)
Eli Nguyen
Angeal wasnt even a bad character by himself, his arc was decent. Its just the way they handled him and how preachy he would get.
I get it, he's supposed to be a mentor to Zack, but does he need to act like a boy scout all the damn time? If they gave him some actual humanity and maybe just a speckle of humor, he wouldve been a likable character.
Genesis on the other hand has almost no redeeming qualities. That character is pure garbage
Angel Cox
I absolutely hate advent children. I hated every bit of story to Crisis Core.
The cannon fight was hype as fuck.
Jason Torres
I hate that i also hope for that
Brandon Foster
A powerful mercenary to help fight the government with.
Grayson Richardson
she's a whore living in slums and being surrounded by literal terrorists and scum, with virtually no chances of having a better life then she finds herself an actually capable and cute guy she previously didn't give a shit about and clings on him because he's infinitely superior to all other options the very fact she hooked him up with literal terrorists tells a lot about her too
Isaac Fisher
Time to replay it.
Noah Miller
The thing that was likable was that even with all that shit and the reasons to be so he wasn't emo. He was boss as fuck and decided to go snowboarding and shit instead of listening to linken park.
Lincoln Gray
I never gave two shits about Sephys VA.
But when he said "you will rot" I got goosebumps
Ryan Gomez
cloud is my hero.
looking forward to maining him in dissidia
Sebastian Richardson
>supports his delusions at every step going as far as listening his retarded Nibel story with straight face
Could easily be explained by the fact that it was a traumatic event where she suffered injuries herself during and thus was unsure if her own recollection of events truly happened. Plus I doubt Midgar had effective mental health treatments in place so Tifa probably had no clue how her childhood friend who showed up near her doorstep half dead would react to claims that he's loco.
Blake Bennett
>In Japan version Reno has a catchphrase similar to saying "yo" at the end of his sentences >this is why Tifa recognizes him on the phone at the beginning of AC >she even says his catchphrase to help the audience figure it out
>nothing at all like that in English localization
Gabriel Anderson
guys
Benjamin Reyes
>If you want to see just a tiny fraction of his full power, then ask for my fanfiction
Jose Richardson
I played it. Once. Hated it. But can confirm. Cloud was chill af
