These events allow him to forgive himself for the death of Zack and Aerith and move on, although as his appearances post-film are limited to Dirge of Cerberus, it is unclear what this ultimately means in terms of his personality and lifestyle. However, during the film Cloud faces his past both metaphorically and literally, with the rebirth of Sephiroth, his visions of Aerith and shows of loyalty from his allies. Cloud decided to distance himself from his friends and live alone as he tries to keep his affliction secret and seek forgiveness so that he might find a cure. The final straw broke when he suddenly contracted the fatal, incurable plague Geostigma, which added to his feelings of helplessness. In Advent Children and many related appearances, Cloud is a much more somber and dark character, tormented by his past, including the deaths of Zack and Aerith. Once his true memories are restored, Cloud holds the same personality, although his guilt over the events that he allowed to occur as a result of his false memories never left him. However, during the events of the game he eventually restores his original personality, and shows genuine concern for the fate of the planet, a sharp contrast to his persona at the start of the game where he claimed he didn't care about the planet and only agreed to help AVALANCHE for the right price. In Final Fantasy VII, due to the combined effect of mako poisoning and the influence of Jenova's cells in his body, Cloud unknowingly holds a fake persona created by the Jenova cells mixing his memories of Zack's personality with the somewhat cocky and selfish attitude he believes a SOLDIER 1st Class would act. This can be seen several times in Advent Children when Cloud is vulnerable to the Jenova Cells in his body. Cloud also gains an entirely new pauldron, and his chest is covered by two straps, held in place by a badge representing Fenrir, the animal that has come to be associated with Cloud.Though Cloud's eyes are normally blue, they turn green and take on Sephiroth's cat-like slit pupils when he's under possession. His clothing consists of a high collar indigo shirt with no sleeves, black pants and boots, and black cloth covering his left leg and arm the cloth on his arm seems to mainly be to hide his Geostigma symptoms. Cloud's hair in particular was changed both to show the passage of time since the game, and to be more realistic. In Advent Children, Cloud's clothing design was made with fighting in mind, and the concept began with a black robe and was restructured into the final product seen in the film. He also wears his helmet to hide his identity at times. In Crisis Core, Cloud wears the uniform of a Shinra guard, consisting of blue clothing with several belts and straps and a gray-green piece of cloth around the collar. This is also the uniform he wears for most of his other appearances, with slight variations. Cloud also wears brown boots and gauntlets with a single pauldron over his left shoulder. The clothing consists of simple pants with a no-sleeved shirt, which are indigo in color, and a belt. He actually used it with such strength that he was even able to overpower Sephiroth in the Nibelheim Reactor.Ĭloud's outfit in Final Fantasy VII, is the standard uniform for 1st Class SOLDIERs. Cloud was, however, capable of using it to great effect as a Shinra guard with no special abilities.
Presumably it is this Mako that allows him to wield his iconic Buster Sword, which is seemingly too heavy for non-SOLDIER members to use.
Because "Mako eyes" are an icon of SOLDIER, Cloud is often mistaken as one. Cloud has blue eyes, which glow due to the Mako flowing through his body.
Cloud was originally conceptualized with black hair, but this was changed, and his hair is meant to serve as a contrast to Sephiroth's silver hair. For this reason, Cloud's spiked hair has become one of the trademarks of his appearance, although in later appearances the spikes have been toned down. His blond hair is spiked, and in Final Fantasy VII featured one particularly large spike emerging into the air. Cloud is of short height with a slim build.
