Clouds birthday?

[Croyles]

in the final fantasy 7 game manual it says clouds birthday is on august the 19th (which is mine) but on the official AC website it says its August the 11th??? its a bit of a pointless thread, but im just curious.

[crashNUMBERS]

I don't think I would ever get to a point like this. Nice eye...

[Greiver205]

i think they just made a mistake...pretty embarrising i think...

[crashNUMBERS]

pretty embarrising i think...
True... ^_^

[Cybele]

I hadn't even looked. Well, at least they got the August part right! :p

[Shoden]

the 11th of August was the day of the european solar eclipse in 1999

i remember it coz i had a huge bike accident the day before

if clouds bday is on this day it shoudlnt be its def 18th of August

[TheSpoonyBard]

Shoden, who ever said anything about the 18th? Cloud's birthday is the 19th of August, always has been, always will be.

[BackRoomKid]

dang...i'd never catch that either...well, from what i know...i don't think the japanese calenders are the same from Americas/European calenders are they?

[Greiver205]

I havent heard anything on the 18th either...the 19th is my lil cousins b-day yep yep...so if its that one i will remember...

According to the manual that accompanied FFVII, Cloud's birthday is August 19. However, his Zodiac sign in FFT is Aquarius, which doesn't at all correspond with an August birthday. It wouldn't be, then, the first time they've confused the issue on this matter.

[BackRoomKid]

...my last thought on Cloud's B-day...."WHO CARES!?" , he's a game character, lol...but still, being how Squre is sooooooo exact, detailed and specific...it's wierd that this happens

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

This is obviously a huge hint that it's not Cloud at all but a robotic duplicate android ghost clone with a heart of gold.

[TasteyPies]

This is obviously a huge hint that it's not Cloud at all but a robotic duplicate android ghost clone with a heart of gold.

And his movement and speech are orchastrated by 3 hamsters standing on each others shoulders inside his chest cavity.

You're getting this confused with Wild ARMs. xD

[crashNUMBERS]

Its probably one of those HUGE rumors of that cloud clone...

[Razo]

lol, that's crazy insane you picked that up

[Del Murder]

I really hope we can get to the bottom of this.

[Necron]

It might really be Zack inplanted into Clouds body when they were experimenting on him. Lol

[crashNUMBERS]

Oooh. Nice statement...

FFT: Cloud was cameo like on KH. Cloud in FFT isn't the Cloud from FF7 even if his story may match. The fact that his best weapon is the Materia Blade should cue you to that.

This movie is called Advent Children: Final Fantasy VII. FF7! That's where Cloud Strife's from and that's where Cloud Strife'll stay.

[Squall of SeeD]

This movie is called Advent Children: Final Fantasy VII. FF7! That's where Cloud Strife's from and that's where Cloud Strife'll stay.

But this is about the discrepancies in what the Final Fantasy VII instruction booklet says and what the Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children website says. One lists his birthday as August 19, while the other has it as August 11.

[Del Murder]

Yes please stay on topic.

[Sefie1999AD]

According to my FFVII manual, Cloud Strife's birthday is on August 19th. Many other sources also seem to say August 19th. However, FF7 AC's Japanese site says August 11th. I think AC's site is mistaken, as there's a few other mistakes there, such as "Barett" (should be Barret, or as Kishi would like, Bullet). That site also spells Tifa's last name "Lockhart", whereas it's "Lockheart" in my manual. Sephiroth and Zack are also on that page while Aeris isn't, and I'm pretty sure it's been confirmed that Aeris will appear (at least in flashback form) in Advent Children.

[Mercen-X]

Zack has no age! Zack has no blood type! Zack has no birthday!
He is non-existent. Oh, Zack, what have they done to you?

Marlene is the same as Zack, she doesn't exist.


About the manual. Maybe August 19 is the birthdate Cloud THOUGHT he had. He never brought up his own birthday so there was no way that Tifa could dispute it. Maybe the website has his real birthdate.

He adopted nothing more of Zack's past than his status as a member of SOLDIER and his role in the Nibelheim mission, however. If he had adopted his birthdate in his mind, as well, it stands to reason he would have adopted his hometown also.

[sayen]

in the game cloud said that nibhelhime is his hometown and in the true flash back sephiroth is talking to cloud not zack pluss tifa rembers grwoing up with him in that town

[Squall of SeeD]

Yes, that was my point. Nibelheim was Cloud's hometown, just as he claimed. He didn't claim Zack's entire past, which would have included Gongaga, so it's unlikely that he claimed his birthdate. For that matter, if August 19 were Zack's birthdate, the Advent Children website would tell us as much if it were bearing the correct information concerning Cloud and Zack.

[Croyles]

I wouldnt have thought a thread like this would be marked "Important", strange. Maybe so no one else asks the same pointless question.

[Chocobo the chosen one]

soo what is his birth day :confused:

[-N-]

They would have gotten away with it if it wasn't for you meddling kids!

[BackRoomKid]

check out the north american version of the website

their version Cloud's birthday is correct

Japanese, I don't know why it's different but it is

[Chocobo the chosen one]

ive now seen to websites with aug. 11 :mad2: if someone doesnt anwser i might never know and that cant happen to me.

[Croyles]

Ok as much as it doesnt matter when Clouds birthday is im still gonna get to the bottom of this.

Both the english and japanese official websites say his birthday is on the 11th of august, but his original birthdate was on the 19th, which was clearly stated in the FFVII manual. Now either square have for some reason decided to change his birthday, he found out his real birthday along with his real identity, or it started out as a minor typo mistaking 9 with 1, which caused the japanese website to say it was on the 11th, and seeing as how the english website seems like a straight copy of the japanese one considering its style of flashy rotating pictures etc, the english website just copied that info and has now caused EoFF to have a long thread on that topic. So, which theory seems the most realistic one?

japanese website (says aug 11th):

english/north american website (says aug 11th):
http://na.square-enix.com/dvd/ff7ac/

[CloudStrife48]

For everyone who's deeply depressed by this, please send a letter to the president of Square-Enix asking about this catastrophe. If you Fed-Ex or UPS ship it, you'll have a much faster response. Learn some japanese as I bet they won't write it in English for you.

Hope this helps. :)

[Del Murder]

Ok I sent my letter.

[Destai]

I dont know if I even want to watch the movie after this. Im going to boycott Square-enix and anyone whos a fan of VII should do the same :mad2:

[BackRoomKid]

^^^not after I get Aeris resurrected

[Croyles]

lol

[Rpgirl_yuna]

Wow i didn't even catch that in the game and i normally have a knack for little details. :moogle:

[MushroomZOMBIE]

Meh......either way,I'm born either a day before (August 19 ) or 7 days before (August 11) My b-day is the 18.........It's confusing....:\

[timmy64]

...my last thought on Cloud's B-day...."WHO CARES!?" , he's a game character, lol...but still, being how Squre is sooooooo exact, detailed and specific...it's wierd that this happens
I agree, Aeris's birthday is more important.

[Sweet Beloved]

Who cares? So people screw up....I do everyday. *Lol*
I can care less about any of them's birthdate.

[SILENTSLAYERxxx]

poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: :p :p :p :p :D :D :D :D :D

[Croyles]

no one REALLY cares, its just something to think about during boring times.

[OneWing]

sounds just like a typo to me on the site... especially if they have all those other mistakes...

[MushroomZOMBIE]

Either way,he's still a Leo.......GO LIONS!!!! RAWR!!!!! :lol: :laugh: :lol:

[Discord]

Mail them with correction before it gets printed in some fan-book.

I hardly doubt that clouds birthday would have changed a tiny bit back if it was different to the original. It would most probably have been a different month or something. But to be honest, Cloud wasn't really a clone, his birthday would have been the same as he was born normally he was just injected with Jenova cells. And I hardly think that Hojo would have told him his birthday before he mysteriously escaped from Nibelheim. If he had amnesia from all that then it was most likely that Tifa told him his birthday. So it either is a typo, or Square are just being plain stupid and changing their minds thinking no one's going to notice.

Haha, I'd love to see Cloud's birth certificate.

Full name - Cloud Strife
Date of cloning: August 19th

I love it.

[Lenna]

So true :P I just hardly doubt that if they wanted to change his birthday and claimed it was because he found out he was a clone and wanted his "real" birthday, that they'd use the same month, I mean. Would you?

Oh right so it's just a coincidence that it's a few days before I happened to have been cloned? yep right now I understand.

So I was born on the 19th of August but I was originally created on the 11th?? I mean.. wtf?

It's obviously a typo or Square are being stupid :)

[CloudStrife48]

I'd be too lazy to figure out my real birthday.

But for giggles we can assume he asked Tifa if he was ever confused on his birthdate.

It seemed after the life stream incident everything clicked together. All of his memories merged together. So that should have solved the problem.

But what if Sephiroth was correct? He told us that Jenova has the power to alter a person. I mean he is a "clone" after all in a sense.


Sephiroth: Cloud... Don't blame Tifa. The ability to change one's looks, voice, and words, is the power of Jenova. Inside of you, Jenova has merged with Tifa's memories, creating you. Out of Tifa's memory...... A boy named Cloud might've just been a part of them.


I never really thought about it till now.

It would weird to know you were a clone of someone else.

Pieces of DNA merged together... into a human being...

[Lenna]

Indeed, he was a clone, but bodywise he wasn't. He was a human being before anything happened, before he was injected with the Jenova Cells. So his birthdate would have been based on when his body was born - Tifa "should" have known that.

On other terms, yes Jenova could alter the mind and make you forget things, but Cloud was still his own person. He had his own feelings and his own life. Jenova was only a disability in a way. Which Cloud managed to defeat inside of him to become who he was.

Regardless of if he was a clone though. His birthday would not be in the same month, let alone a couple of days apart. It'd just seem like a huge coincidence if it was. And deliberately doing it is stupid because it'd have just been better to use the original birthday.

ZOMG LYK TEH SKWARE-EENICKS HAS MAYD A TYPO LYK ZOMG WTF.

Big deal anyway? :P

[CloudStrife48]

You scare me :|

:beer:

[NeoCracker]

I have determined my own Theory on the Matter. Square was sick of being nice, so they delibratly changed the birthday, knowing that one weirdo, whos name shall remain anonymous, would post a thread about this issue to start other people thinking. ANd in doing this, not only to they get to annoy people, but by doing so they create more free publicity for the game, thereby increasing their sales without putting out extra money.

Thank you, Thank you.

[ff-freak#1]

It's just cool facts.

If you were in a game, would you want people to know more about you? I think yessss.

Mystery solved.

[kikimm]
