to:
* CharacterDevelopment: A dark example. Cloud begins the series as a wimpy, accident-prone NiceGuy who spends most of Season 1 as a victim of circumstance who rarely gets to make his own life decisions. In Season 2, he tries to salvage his crumbling ego by putting on a brave face and condescending attitude, which only serves to erode his likable traits and strain his already tedious relationships within the group, not helped by his increasing focus on revenge against Sephiroth. Just when he manages to turn himself around in Season 3, Aerith's murder sends him further back over the edge into a stoic, serious leader his game counterpart is typically [[{{Flanderization}} Flanderized]] into becoming.

%% Don't add any tropes regarding Cloud's personality in the flashbacks of episode 11 unless it's confirmed that they directly relate to how Zack actually acted.

----
* AdaptationalJerkass: He's much more of a dick than the voice Cloud hears in the game, speaking in vague terms just because he can, and stroking Cloud's ego whenever his delusions of grandeur come into play.

Here, the voice is hinted to be either a mental projection of Zack, or the real Zack somehow SharingABody with Cloud, but still fulfilling the same basic role.
* InsistentTerminology: Occasionally reminds Cloud that he's not just in SOLDIER; he's SOLDIER ''First Class'', the highest rank of SOLDIER there is.
* TheLostLenore: Though she doesn't learn of his death until episode 18, he fits the bill for Aerith, who takes a shine to Cloud because he reminds her so much of Zack.
* MellowFellow: He speaks to Cloud with a chill, stoner-like monotone.

* PosthumousCharacter: He's supposedly dead before the series begins, though given that Cloud is hearing his voice, it's unclear just how true this is.
* ToxicFriendInfluence: Whatever his intentions, Zack keeps encouraging Cloud's delusions of being in SOLDIER, leading to Cloud making more of an ass of himself than usual.
* WalkingSpoiler: Though the credits reveal the voice's name before it's mentioned, simply knowing about his true identity gives away one of the story's biggest twists, namely that [[spoiler:Cloud isn't who he says, or thinks, he is]].

->'''Voiced by:''' Mike "Ovarku" Varker
* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: In the games, Sephiroth always felt isolated from other people because of his background, but still made efforts to be sociable to his peers before his descent into madness and villainy. Here, he almost constantly agonized over his lack of direction, fulfillment, and most of all, a nurturing mother figure in his otherwise enviable life as an accomplished war hero. The result is a far more malicious and spiteful version of Sephiroth than even his game counterpart, one who would [[spoiler:singularly murder Cloud's mother so Cloud would experience the same kind of torment he himself endured]].
* AdaptationalBadass: The UI gives him 9999 HP and MP during Cloud's retelling of the Nibelheim incident, which is impossible in-game.
* {{BFS}}: His own seven-foot-long katana, Masamune. Apparently the wounds it makes can be mistaken for ones inflicted by Cloud's own Buster Sword.
* BigBad: He takes the reins of main villain once he kills President Shinra and (inadvertently) frames the heroes at the end of season 1, resulting in a series-long manhunt from both sides.
* ButForMeItWasTuesday: Zig-zagged. When Cloud's party encounters him on the ship to Costa del Sol, he says he has absolutely no idea who Cloud is or about his razing of Nibelheim, although he does say, "I think I'd remember something like that." However, when he and Cloud meet again at the rebuilt Nibelheim, he once again acts familiar with Cloud.

* KnightOfCerebus: Unlike the [[ComedicSociopathy hilariously inept and evil Shinra executives]], virtually nothing about him or what he does is played for comedy, and he's had a more-or-less direct hand in making Cloud and Tifa into the damaged, broken people they are at the beginning of the series.

%%* FreudianExcuse: His obsession with Jenova is presented in a different light than his canon counterpart.
* GoMadFromTheRevelation: He didn't exactly take it well when he discovered he was spawned from the same alien life form as the Mako-infused abominations produced in the Nibelheim Reactor, nor that he was created as a tool to guide his employers to the Promised Land.
* IJustWantToBeLoved: Sephiroth isn't obsessed with Jenova like his canon counterpart so much as the idea of meeting the mother he never knew. He even says at one point before his descent into villainy that he'd trade away all of his fame, glory, and status just to experience a mother's love.
* KnightOfCerebus: Unlike the [[ComedicSociopathy hilariously inept and evil Shinra executives]], virtually nothing about him or what he does is played for comedy, and he's had a more-or-less direct hand in making Cloud and Tifa into the damaged, broken people they are at the beginning of the series.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: He burned Nibelheim to the ground and murdered President Shinra when he came to believe he was the last remaining Cetra, created as a science experiment to help Shinra assume total control of the planet.

* BerserkButton: He has very little tolerance towards anyone who "f*cks up" (i.e., Cloud). Understandably so, as the last time Barret "f*cked up", he lost
* ADayInTheLimelight: Episodes 15 through 17 delve heavily into Barret's DarkAndTroubledPast. Naturally, he and Red give Cloud flak for constantly trying to get a word in during "Barret's moment".
* MadeOfIron: In episode 17, Barret takes multiple bullet, missle, and laser shots without even so much as flinching. [[LampshadeHanging Cloud remarks how it's possible he's still alive]].
* MistakenForMurderer: He's suspected of going on a killing spree at Gold Saucer when multiple Shinra guards are found shot to death. Turns out he isn't the only person with a gun for a hand and a murderous grudge against Shinra.
* MyGreatestFailure: He originally supported Shinra's plans to install a Mako reactor in his hometown, against the objections of his best friend. Not only did the reactor explode, but Shinra pinned the blame on the townsfolk and burned everything to the ground, killing his giant wife, leaving his friend for dead, and costing him an arm. From then on, Barret swore to live by his friend's (supposed) last words to never "f*ck up" again.

* IncorruptiblePurePureness: Cloud tries keeping her out of a brothel because of her "incorruptible purity" vibes.
* TheIngenue: She's canonically 22 years old, yet she behaves like a young child who believes in fairies. However, it's implied that she may have some sexual experience from her relationship with her boyfriend, [[spoiler:Zack]].
* InsaneForgiveness: It's her firmly held belief that she ''must'' forgive anyone who apologizes to her for any wrongdoing, no matter how severe. The only time she struggles to forgive anyone is in episode 18, when Cloud bluntly and unknowingly delivers the news of her ex-boyfriend's death to her and doesn't pick up on how badly this crushed her; it isn't until after she's been consoled by Tifa midway through the next episode that she accepts Cloud's apology.
