    Remakes & Spinoffs

    I think that it's a good idea to remake an older game so that it can run on a current-gen system. The remakes of IV and VI were very good for their time, and while not official, the Tifa's Bootleg mod for VII makes the game incredibly refreshing to play. However, I would have to say that I don't...

    Are battles in XIII significantly more difficult than in previous games?

    I actually felt it was easier than the previous games. Regular encounters were no issue for me, especially since your party completely heals up after each fight. However, I did begin to find the game to be challenging after encountering Cid. That was the first fight I actually lost in XIII (but...

    Is anybody playing/replaying this game? If so, where are you at?

    Replaying it right now because I just downloaded the "Tifa's Bootleg" mod that makes everything prettier (definitely worth the 17 GB download!). I just blew up the second Mako reactor, but I haven't gotten to the boss fight yet.

    N o t . I n t e r e s t e d - A Cloud Strife Club

    When I first played the game (VII), the whole "fake memories" arc really surprised me. I was genuinely shocked to find that the Cloud I've gotten to know so well was actually a fake. It really makes you wonder, even to this day, how much of SOLDIER Cloud was real and how much was imaginary...

    N o t . I n t e r e s t e d - A Cloud Strife Club

    Speaking of favorite materia, what element do you think Cloud would favor above all others? I used to think thunder fit him perfectly well since he uses it a lot against his fight against Shinra and their bosses. Plus, his name is Cloud so it kind of fits together. On the other hand, Dissidia...

    N o t . I n t e r e s t e d - A Cloud Strife Club

    - In my opinion, Cloud's best attribute would have to be his level-headed nature in tough situations (actions at Nibelheim, encounter with Rufus, fight with Sephiroth, etc.). Unfortunately, this seems to apply for fights moreso than personal issues (self-confidence, dealing with geostigma, the...

    N o t . I n t e r e s t e d - A Cloud Strife Club

    I'm pretty sure any guy would feel guilty for doing body squats in front of a mirror (at least not at a gym). It kind of screams "douchebag" to the person walking in on them lol. For someone who acts all confident and nonchalant, Cloud actually does pay heed to what others think of him.

    Your Ideal FF Party Suppose there's a new evil villain who's trying to destroy the world. If you had every playable Final Fantasy character at your disposal, what would your ideal party be like? Rules: - Up to 5 characters maximum. - For creativity's sake, you may only select one protagonist...

    N o t . I n t e r e s t e d - A Cloud Strife Club

    lol the picture with Cloud and Snow is just perfect. I also love the Ultima Sword. It's definitely one of my favorite weapons from FF7 in terms of appearances and damage (obviously). As for guilty pleasures, I'm not entirely sure what he'd do that fits under that category. Maybe doing body...

    [V2] Best Final Fantasy Game?

    I don't like using the word "best" since there's a long list of great, timeless FF games. I just voted based on favorites. 4 and 7 are easily my top two and if I could vote for more than one game it'd go to those. However, that wasn't possible so I went with 7. I immensely enjoyed its story...

    N o t . I n t e r e s t e d - A Cloud Strife Club

    While not definite, I think I remember where I read that Cloud failed the mental part of SOLDIER's prerequisites. This is from the wikia: "Cloud reveals he never was in SOLDIER, failing to be mentally strong enough to enter the organization and instead became an ordinary Shinra guard." So I...

    Final Fantasy Character Tier List~

    I'm only going to provide reasons for a few characters. S-Tier Cloud Strife - I find his personality to arguably be the most complex out of all FF protagonists. One of the reasons why FF7 was so enjoyable for me was that I was able to spend over half the game trying to explore who he really...

    N o t . I n t e r e s t e d - A Cloud Strife Club

    Eh, to each his/her own I suppose. I disagree that Squall of all people is more complicated than Cloud (he's one of the more simplistic ones actually). Squall's personality is right up there with Vincent's, and Cloud let Vincent join the party without reservations. They became friends without...

    Final Heaven - A Tifa Fanclub

    I thought Tifa losing to Loz was poo. She had the upper hand the entire time and Loz had no indication of holding back. Suddenly, he gains the ability to speed blitz :argh: In my opinion, Tifa would win in a rematch and a rematch was definitely warranted... except it didn't happen. What do...

    N o t . I n t e r e s t e d - A Cloud Strife Club

    Agreed. Even with the physique to rival Sephiroth's, Cloud has consistently shown that he holds himself back due to his mind. Like that first real fight at the Forgotten Capital where he engages Loz and Yahoo in combat. I'm sorry, but he got whooped pretty bad. After Vincent has a pep talk...

    N o t . I n t e r e s t e d - A Cloud Strife Club

    Hmm pros and cons. My list is going to be a lot more subjective than my usual posts, so I apologize if I offend anyone. Cons - I feel he's too easily brought down sometimes, and rather than sympathizing with him I tend to get frustrated with Cloud. To clarify, I'm referring to his attitude...

    N o t . I n t e r e s t e d - A Cloud Strife Club

    lol it's confusing for everyone, mainly because there's so many contradicting points to the game's story that you have to just nod your head and accept whatever is said. Cloud retaining his memories isn't official, but I'd say yes he did keep them from 012 since he recognizes Sephiroth. In...

    favourite character?

    After putting in a few hours with each character in Duodecim, I'd say I'm really loving Tifa. Those feints are just ridiculous and even though the CPU is harder to trick than human players, I can still catch it off guard more often than not. Cloud is still my highest ranked guy, but his...

    N o t . I n t e r e s t e d - A Cloud Strife Club

    @ Psalm 14:1 Good, question and I agree that Cloud didn't seem like the environmentalist type of person. That's more in line with Barret and Tifa's agenda. Cloud did mention a few times that it was important to stop Sephiroth from destroying the world, but to me that's everyone's reason for...

    N o t . I n t e r e s t e d - A Cloud Strife Club

    So I just unlocked Cloud's character file in the Dissidia 012 Duodecim game. I'll go ahead and share it with you all in case some of you don't own the game: So there you have it, it's a mini-bio for Cloud! One thing that this game emphasized that never really occurred to me before was his...
