Fuck, the war between the Cetra and Jenova could have been so cool, now I'm sad it doesn't exist :I

I am a little regretful we don't get any proper characterization of Cloud when it's him in his own head, rather than him+a whole circus in there. That was kind of what I hoped for from CC, or AC, but both of those were a mess, and I'm pretty sure nobody involved had a clue what Cloud's character traits even are.

If they wanted something more linked to the story, mayyyybe like Gast-era could have worked? But I agree with you, they probably should have left the original game characters alone.

DA

Actually it's a bit stupider than that. See, Nomura did have a clue, buuuut to quote from Wikipedia's article about Cloud:

"Although Nomura stated that Cloud was a more positive character in Final Fantasy VII than in Advent Children, he did not believe that such an "'upbeat' image of him is what stuck in the minds of the fans", and the script was written to explain why Cloud returned to a state of mind "consistent with the fans' view of him.""

In short, they changed him so he'd fit the fanon version.

I have seen that quote and it fills me with deep, burning, and unabating anger at how those fans fucked everything up for us. I am angry at the fans for being idiots, angry at Nomura for caving, and angry that now we're probably stuck with all this forever because they'll probably fuck him up in the remake and we'll forever have the Flanderized fanon version of doom-and-gloom!Cloud.

Fuck.

And I say this as somebody who fucking LOVES angst, okay.
