    Yeah, but so is Sephypoo.

    Why is Cloud Likable? He's a dolt. A well intentioned dolt.
    Sephiroth was annoying too. I don't know why anyone likes any of the characters from this game, honestly. Except Cid. And maybe RedXIII.

    Cloud's not cute


    Quote Renmiri on FFXII
    I bitch about the game a lot, mainly for the lack of story and weak characters, but it is still the best of the series out there.
    She loves it more then X!

    Also, Jessie liked him?
    yes it was obviose in the begining, and when you read about her on other sites it says that she has a crush on cloud
    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?

    The word was "Special". She's obviously a teen-green hot for the dark machine.

    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.

    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)

    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.
