In both titles, Cloud has the best all-around stats. In Final Fantasy VII Remake, Cloud's strength is in his raw damage output and his versatility, able to switch back-and-forth between the agile Operator Mode and the more offensive Punisher Mode that allows him to counterattack. In Final Fantasy VII, he has access to the most powerful weapons in the game, as well as the strongest Limit abilities (all of which involve his sword), though they take the longest to learn. He develops compassion for the planet and the people he fights to protect from the Shinra Electric Power Company and his nemesis, Sephiroth.Ĭloud Strife wields large broadswords in battle, including the iconic Buster Sword, and is a versatile melee combatant.

Cloud later discovers more about his past and, with the help of his friends, learns there is more to being a hero than possessing physical strength and fame. Beneath his hardened outer persona is a softer, more caring individual who simply struggles to open up, but is striving to be a hero. He also appears in the spin-off games of the Compilation of Final Fantasy VII as a supporting character, including Dirge of Cerberus -Final Fantasy VII- and Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII-.Īn arrogant and proud swordsman at first, Cloud introduces himself to Avalanche as a former member of an elite warrior unit called SOLDIER who has turned mercenary, and uninterested in anything beyond his hired task at hand. Cloud Strife is the main protagonist of Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy VII Remake, and Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children.
