Cloud is what we would consider a sympathetic hero. While awe-inspiring with his innate skills and abilities, we nonetheless pity him. Cloud suffered an agonizing loss in Final Fantasy VII and he suffered from Geostigma in Advent Children. His eyes betray a great sadness within but he shoulders onwards nonetheless. We’d advise him to go Goth and dye his blond locks black to match his somber aura.
Square’s got a cottage industry centered around Cloud and the company produces a 122-page book and DVD which focuses on the tragic hero and the games that he’s featured in. Yes, we’re aware that the mook was released in mid-December 2007 but better late than never?
The early pages of the mook (magazine + book = mook) contain a Final Fantasy VII Compilation Gallery which features full-page artwork and information on the main characters in the game. There’s Cloud, Tifa, Sephiroth, Aerith, and others. On page 45, Gackt makes an appearance and he’s strangely exotic with his blue eyes and feathered hair. He’s sort of like a Final Fantasy character come to life.
