reido said: The thing people forget-- The thing the marketing of these games leads people to forget, is that in FFVII Cloud is a fucking dork*. An awkward, confused, dorkasaurus rex. All the action and artwork screams HARDENED BADASS but the actual character is more like I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE FUCK I'M DONIG HYAAAAAAA! (*This applies to FFVIII, too! Squall so much more palatable when you don't see him as the broody badass in the game's art but realize he's a big dorky loser who doesn't know how to socialize with people properly or express his emotions.)
Atma Weapon said: That's not the way I remember it. Â Cloud is slowly revealed as a dork between the Kalm flashback and the big reveal of what actually happened 5 years ago. During the exposition of the game and the Midgar sequence, he IS portrayed as a hardened badass. You have to sell the audience on the fake Cloud and they definitely did that in the first 4-5 hours of the game. Then you go through his gradual identity crisis, culminating in the meltdown at the first Northern Crater sequence. After he and Tifa "find the true Cloud" in the Lifestream, he swiftly regains his footing and by the end of the game he is a hardened badass again.

"As preproduction went along and I offered my opinions on what I thought should be done, Mr. Kitase would asked me how the individual elements should be adjusted in fine detail," Nomura said. "It was very perplexing. Then one day, as I was checking the internal company presentation video it said 'Director Tetsuya Nomura' at the end. "So I called up Mr. Kitase and said, 'It says that Iâ??m the director for some reason.' To which he replied, 'Of course it does.'"
