Because Kinkajou told me to.
So yeah, anything about Final Fantasy! I guess this would make a good starting point: Which are your favorite games in the series and why?
My two all-time favorites are tied between Final Fantasy V and Final Fantasy IX. They're both very fun games that don't take themselves too seriously while still being legitimately emotional. On top of that, Zidane is my favorite Final Fantasy lead in the entire series. He's light-hearted, fun, and a generally nice guy to be around. FFV also has the advantage of having one of, if not the best, Job System in an FF game. Both FFV and FFIX make characters customizable while keeping them all unique in their own way. I'm also very fond of Final Fantasy I; it hasn't aged well, but it's classic, and like FFV, I played it tons as a kid.
I assume we'll drift around to various other FF-related discussions as the topic grows, right?

That's what people thought he was before AC, they completely forgot all the character development he had in disk 2 and 3.
SE just pandered to that.
The game itself throws hints at you but that specific one was pretty bad yeah, although really easy to spawn once you know it.
EDIT:
He was good in Crisis Core, everyone was actually consistent with what they were supposed to be shockingly enough.

Kingdom Hearts barely does anyone any favors unless it's an OC or Mickey Mouse. Remember Squall using the computer in KH 2 and teaching Sora about it? That was some top shrlf cringe.
Because of that, I don't mind KH!Cloud. Oh no, his sword is covered in bandages and he's all broody. W/E, he's fun to fight and he gives out one of the best keyblades in the game. He was alright in the first game.
I'm also impartial to Advent Children Cloud regardless of how different it is to his game counterpart, because Advent Children Complete was a pretty cool movie and I really liked it. I don't get the conplaints about the costume either.

I'm pretty sure dying of a disease tends to make people more emotional, not less. I'm just really not a fan of Flanderization in general, especially when it takes away the best parts about a character and turns them completely bland, like it did with Cloud.
Also, remake Cloud better say stuff like "Alright everyone, let's mosey" and "You look like a bear wearing a marshmallow."

Kingdom Hearts did him the worst disservice.
Bewitching Eyes-everybody dissing Kingdom Hearts all of a sudden-
This was the only interaction these two characters had back then, before Dissidia was even thought of - and besides the opening, I don't think they had a single scene together in Dissidia.

On the topic of cloud - I really really prefer his KH 1 look. I prefer his original game post character development self.
On the topic of FFIX - I'm the only villain with character development(in one game).

It's nothing more than guide-wank, even more than some of the other Fragments. I was sick of not being able to just play the game and always having to consult a FAQ.
I think Kingdom Hearts fucked him over worse.
But yes, no Cloud except VII Cloud has ever been as interesting of a character. I am interested to see what the remake does with him.
