read it again I said The characters were somewhat forgettable, OUTSIDE OF THE LOVE TRIANGLE (ie Cloud/Tifa/Aerith) I mean how many people really remember or acknowledge any other characters besides those 3
Logic fails on your part because if you look closer.. its the KINGDOM HEARTS incarnation of Cloud
I haven't played Kingdom Hearts, a picture of cloud is a picture of cloud regardless where it is from.
And I did read that bit, it still doesn't take from the fact you said it was bland.
