Cloud Strife and the World of Final Fantasy VII

Theme 2 Week - Imaginary World and Characters


scenes from animated movie Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children

Characters -
The characters in Final Fantasy VII are Cloud Strife, an unsociable mercenary who claims to be a former 1st Class member of Shinra's SOLDIER unit;Aeris Gainsborough, a flower merchant who has been pursued by Shinra's special operations unit Turks since childhood; Tifa Lockhart, a martial artist and childhood friend of Cloud's; Barret Wallace, the leader of the anti-Shinra rebel group AVALANCHE; Red XIII, a wise lion-like creature who was experimented on by Shinra scientists; Yuffie Kisaragi, a young thief and a skillful ninja; Cid Highwind, a pilot whose dreams of being the first man in outer space were crushed;Cait Sith, a fortune-telling robotic cat who rides an animated moogle doll. The game's main antagonist is Sephiroth, a former member of SOLDIER who reappears several years after disappearing in a battle in which he was concluded to have died.


Cloud's appearance is marked by spikey blonde hair, vivid blue eyes, dark clothing, and his Buster Sword, which previously belonged to his friend Zack Fair.

Why I like the Character -
I like the character because he is cool, like MrDanny :)


OK, jokes aside I like Cloud because he started off as a troubled young man who somehow could not remember his past and kept to himself a lot. However, despite his withdrawal, he soon opened up when he obtained the support of his friends, especially Tifa and Aeris, and together they overcame the main antagonist of the story;- Sephiroth, an adversary so powerful that he was on the brink of destroying the world when the group faced him in the final battle.

And yes, other appealing factors include his nice bike and his incredible sword-fighting skills.


enjoy the fight scene:)
