Why does it seem that everybody loves cloud? I mean Aeris liked him, tifa, and jessie did also... i even saw some flirtation with ester the chocobo manager, and even my cousin after seeing ac shes like "cloud is so hot" and everyone else in the game grew to like him, and very large fanclub dedicated to him... so my question is why do you think cloud is so well liked is so well liked in the game and in real life?

I don't know, he had a big sword, that's all I found interesting about him really.

It's probly because he's a main, about all I can think of.

Also, Jessie liked him?

I don't love him. Come to think about it, my interest lies with older men only.

I never really understood that either. Maybe they were going for the weirdly popular "harem" thing in anime with this one. I thought he was completely without personality and looked like a woman.

Well, the answer is easy. He's good-lookin.

I bet there's WAY more people that like Sephiroth. Hell, people I know who haven't even played FF VII liked him when they first saw him.

Or are you specifically talking about in the game of FF VII? Since the reason why many characters in FF VII like Cloud is easy: he's the main character, and because Square Enix made it that way.

his got a cool sword:)
i think his a strong character, he isnt cocky and loud but not too quite either. His past was pretty messed up but eventually he over come everything and confronted his enemy:evilking:
Also i like all of his different stances while he talks:D

He's able to pull off a long purple dress. Not many guys can.

Yeah, but so is Sephypoo.

Why is Cloud Likable? He's a dolt. A well intentioned dolt.

he's ok, but i don't really think he's attractive, if that's the case for females.

Well, Squall wasn't really loved by much ppl and he was a main, He also had a gunblade, he wasn't loved, he was a stud, he wasn't loved...
So last thing is, they liked him just because he can spin some large sword...

Sephiroth was annoying too. I don't know why anyone likes any of the characters from this game, honestly. Except Cid. And maybe RedXIII.

I just suddenly thought: If you talk to Jessie after the train ID cards fail; she says that she "Made Cloud's ID better" but by doing so it looked more fake or something.

Is that a hint, i.e. she wanted his ID to look "Better" because of how she felt about him?

clouds a goodie...!You're a little weird.

Maybe it's 'cause I got German in my blood (oooh SNAP, he didn't go there!) but I like the blonde hair, blue eyes thing. WTF is a goodie? Yes, he is the good guy obviously.

The main detriment I can find to his character is . . . he's got no character. He's too afraid to be anything. He doesn't want to act like a hero, he doesn't even really try to be Tifa's friend. The only time he expresses any emotion is when Aeris has a long-ass sword protruding from her stomach.

But that's his character. I kind of think most people don't actually like Cloud for being Cloud. They like his look, his bike, his sword, his attacks, and the fact that he knows Zack and Sephiroth. I think that's really about it.

He's the main character.

Dragon Mage

oh, he's got character. Just too much of it. If you know what I mean.

Now, if your talking about the game characters liking him, then I stick with my previous reasoning: he's good-looking. Said and done.

If your talking about real people (aka players) well that's a whole new story. Who knows. Many things. For one, he's a very weak character. This makes him seem more human, and would make him a more appealing character to some. Unique weapon always helps. Also, he's got one screwed up past, one that simply gets people totally absorbed in it, as they try to unravel it. This is just something that many people find interesting, so he comes out as a favorite. (why do people like extremely complex chars? I have no idea. o_O) Not to mention he's the major love interest of other extremely popular chars. So that's a bonus. and again, maybe it's just for the character design. It's all on personal preference.

Or it could just be because of that hair........

Simple. It is a cliche. FFVII is built on 'em. This is just another Cliche (everyone likes the main character)

Dragon Mage
05-06-2007, 06:28 AM
Well.......there's only about 7 or 9 story lines in existence you know. Ya gotta expect SOME cliches. Maybe a lot of things are based from FFVII, instead of the other way around.

Cloud is complex and complicated. One truly finds it hard to know what exactly racing inside his spiky blond head. He's in a complete mess, emotionally unstable (duno why i said this) and although he has lotsa buddies around, he seems to be alone. Thats more than enough to make me fall in love with him. Cos he's somewhat like my reflection in the mirror.

Well, that's my personal opinion. I didnt intend to say all these out in reference to the general public (Cloud maniacs) out there. But you guys shoud ponder and think this over. We love Cloud might be because of what we've gone through in lives resemble him in some ways. Like me. Or simply because he's Cloud and Cloud's himself. He's unique in his own ways. Same goes to other characters as well. Full stop.

Come one people we all know the "let mommy kiss it better" psychology, women are drawn to mentally unstable men cos their motherly instinct kicks in and they wanna make it all better...
But I guess having a big hair and sword helps too.
By the end of the game Cloud really looked like he needed a hug or something. Poor soul. I thought he was quite cute but he got a little pathetic when he started his nervous breakdown thing.

I think Vincent and Sephy are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay cooler than Cloud, but Cloud is #3 in my all-time fav. characters of anything ever made (obviously behind Vincent and Sephy)
