Here are some of my own old stuff of Cloud...

Abstract Buster Sword.
AC Buster Sword.
Chibi Cloud on a cloud :lol:
Sketch of AC Cloud.
Same as above, but colored in Photoshop. First time I actually colored something in Photoshop so yes, it sucks.

Thanks! :lol:

My friend at work last year got the idea of another idea of what Cloud's voice could sound like. He told me how he can easilly see Cloud having a soft voice with a Finnish accent and he gave me an example (he does a lot of voice acting and impressions for people) and I just fell in love with it. :lol:

The voice Cloud has in FFVII:AC REALLY reminds me of adult Link from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Really cool because I always loved Link (he was my number one game guy crush before Cloud) and they are similar in a few ways. ^_^

Welcome to the club, Real Emotion! I'll add you to the list of members right now. :rolleyes:

Cloud with a Finnish accent? :lol: I'd love to hear that! :rolleyes: I love AC Cloud's voice, though! Steve Burton did an amazing job with Cloud's voice in KH, too. I thought it was just perfect! So I'm hoping that Burton does Cloud's voice again for the NA version of AC.

Hmm... Steve Burton was "passable" as Cloud's voice to me. :lol: I'm REALLY picky when it comes to Cloud though. If they ever made a live action FFVII movie, I would insist that no actor would be good enough to play Cloud. :whistle:

But I'd be ok with Steve Burton being Cloud's voice again. I doubt it will get any better. :lol:

Oh, I'm very picky when it comes to Cloud, too - remember, I gave you ownership of the man! So watch out, or I'll claim him back!! :lol: :P After all, you like him with a Finnish accent! :lol: :P

But Steve Burton sounded just like I'd always imagined Cloud to sound. I thought he was excellent. His JP voice actor is very good, though, too.

If Cloud lives in AC, I want to see him end up alone, too. I have a feeling he will die in AC, though. It seems a more suitable end to his story to give it his all while fighting Sephiroth, and then being able to forgive himself because he has "attoned" for what he perceives as his sin by killing Sephiroth. If Square wants to yank at our heart strings, Cloud's death would do it to nearly all fans of the game. I think it's far more likely that the ending will be tragic rather than happy (like Cloud dancing off into the sunset with Tifa - I find it hard to believe that Square would choose that kind of ending for Cloud).

*Laughs* Hey! If you heard the voice my friend did, you'd fall in love with it too! :lol:

I strongly think he will die in AC. Something in me tells me this movie (since it is CLOUD'S story much like how FFX was Tidus's story and FFX-2 was Yuna's story) is going to end with some kind of conclusion for Cloud. If Square wants to give the biggest impact possible, they will make a big scene for it and it wil most likely be right after his final battle which saves the world one more time.

The way I can see it happen is much like the end of my favorite anime (I'm not spoiling it!). I can see Cloud and Sephiroth (if that IS who he fights in the end) both giving each other the final blow but Sephiroth dies first. Then Cloud, maybe turning around to face Tifa and the others, and saying something. Something that makes so much sense yet is just so sad, so it sticks in your mind and you really feel his emotions. And maybe something to do with Aeris (if Square wants to go that extra distance) like how he wanted to meet her in the Promised Land at the end of FFVII.

Then he could smile. Something like that WOULD make an impact on any Cloud fan. Possibly a little reference to how "she" smiled until the end and how he has reached his own peace after his long, hard life. Then he falls, possibly in slow motion just to add further drama. And of course, Square needs to have insanely sad yet motivating music for the whole scene!

Then Cloud opens his eyes and finds himself in nothing but darkness, until a light appears in front of him and a hand reaches out to him.

"Let's go, Cloud..."

And this time, he takes her hand and goes into the light. The end!

AWWWW... :lol:

*sniff* Beautifully said! I always wondered whether the "Let's go, Cloud" line was said somewhere in the middle of the movie or if it would be said when Cloud dies (IF he dies :D).

Me too! It's obviously important if Aeris says it and it's not a memory of some kind! I can see the quote being easily used for the end. :whistle:

Yes, it could easily be said at the end like you said! Interesting thought... :rolleyes: I think it's far more likely that Cloud will die in AC than end up with Tifa. Square typically writes plots that have a great impact on the viewers, and Cloud's death would have the greatest impact on everyone. I see it as being very likely to happen.

Yeah, I would think the ending would be quite lame if he suddenly got happy and ended up with Tifa. It isn't like Square to put two people together when they don't have any romantic energy between them. It would be like Squall suddenly loving Quistis when Rinoa was unconcious. :rolleyes:

Well, the whole idea of Cloud getting together with Tifa is to me incredibly trite. For Cloud to settle down into a boring, average lifesytle in a dysfunctional relationship like he has with Tifa after going through the entire struggle against Sephiroth and Jenova is just inconceivable. Cloud vowed to do the impossible at the end of the game. He vowed to meet Aerith - despite all odds, despite all hardships - somehow, someway, he would be with her again. Cloud has been portrayed as making that attempt to be with Aerith in KH and in FFTactics. It's an epic and beautiful and heroic challenge that Cloud vowed to meet out of his love for Aerith. The Greek Gods did such things in mythology. They didn't just "settle down with the next available girl" like the Cloti's want Cloud to do. It would be trivializing and minimizing the entire beauty of the story of Cloud's love if Square would turn it into such a simplistic and banal story such as the Cloti's want it to be. <_<

The Cloti idea is nothing but repulsive to me, and I can't understand how anyone can have such a base and meaningless idea of Cloud's love. By having Cloud settle for a relationship that's second best, it's reducing Cloud to a character without the personal strength, fortitude, and courage to follow his heart. Look what Sora's gone up against to find Kairi. Look what Squall went up against to save Rinoa. Why don't they expect Cloud to show that kind of resolve in finding Aerith again? It's the only way that Cloud can be the hero he was intended to be. If he just settles for "second best", it would undermine his entire story in my eyes. Putting Cloud together with Tifa would be like Romeo choosing another fiance after Juliet died. Do the Cloti's really want to trivialize the story and make it into something as meaningless as that?

Well said! A lot of the CloTis like Cloud/Tifa just because they hate Aeris, which is why they are more based on hatred and bashing than they are of their actual love of the couple. They also go by appearance (they usually hate the color pink and they love darker colors, not to mention body shape), and no offence to those who designed Tifa, but her appearance is like a typical fan serviced anime girl. It looks like she didn't have much thought put into when it comes to her appearance. It's a given that shallow people are going to like her better than the girl in a pink dress. I know for a fact that if Tifa wore a long dress that covers her up and maybe glasses, there wouldn't be as many CloTis as there are now.

They don't care about the story or Cloud's wellbeing. They just want to be right.
