Oh, is it time for us to start screaming about how stupid the Emo Anime Boy stereotype is already?

Cloud was literally tortured for years, watched basically everything and everyone he ever cared for burn at the hands of a man he idolized, and had his best friend die in his arms. And that's before the game even starts. The narrative of the game is specifically about breaking down Cloud's self image and view of masculinity, with the accuracy of a scalpel and the force of a sledgehammer. By the time of Advent Children, he's dying of a terminal illness, supporting a family, and finally dealing with his grief for those he's lost.

(And while I'm ranting, Squall Leonhart was a 17 year old with a non-traumatic brain injury and untreated depression, being expected to deal with situations that even the adults in his life were woefully unequipped to handle.)

Like, everyone from the main cast in FFVIII was a literal CHILD SOLDIER (except Rinoa and she had her own set of issues).

Oh, I'd say she counts too. She just didn't go to a fancy school to become a professional child soldier. She just did it the old fashioned way by becoming a freedom fighter and hiring mercenaries on her own.
