I Love Cloud Strife

I can't even begin to describe how much I love Cloud Strife. He's the perfect blend of complexity, vulnerability, and strength—everything you could want in a character. From the moment you meet him in Final Fantasy VII, Cloud’s brooding, loner persona immediately grabs your attention. But as the story unfolds, you get to see the layers beneath the surface, the insecurities, the doubts, and the emotional turmoil that make him so relatable and human.

Cloud’s journey isn’t just about saving the world—it’s about discovering who he really is. He starts out unsure of himself, caught in the shadows of a false identity, but he grows into someone who learns to trust, to forgive, and to accept himself. His internal struggle, especially his grappling with his past and his role as a hero, makes his character arc one of the most compelling in all of gaming.

On top of that, his design is iconic—those spiky blond hair, that Buster Sword, the stoic expression. He’s both a symbol of strength and a representation of emotional depth. And don’t even get me started on his interactions with the rest of the FFVII cast—whether it’s his rivalry with Sephiroth or his bonds with Tifa and Aerith, Cloud is at the heart of everything. I just adore him.
