Nearly finished... just need to remember to do it...
#4: Cloud Strife
![]()
Many of you may be shocked that Cloud only placed fourth on the list, which only goes to prove his iconic status.
Final Fantasy VII was a huge game, spanning three discs and about 60 hours (excluding side-quests). This allowed an enormous and engrossing story to take place, and at the centre of it all was Cloud, an ex-SOLDIER turned mercenary. At first, he seems cold and selfish, concerned about finishing the job, getting his pay, and nothing else. However, as the events unfold, we get to see more of Cloud: his insecurities, his troubles, and his true feelings. (Not to mention homoerotic experiences)

Another thing that the game managed to do was pull off about twenty different plot twists in the space of a minute, and one of the most damning was that Cloud wasn't who he thought he was; his mind had been twisted, and his own memories were mixed with those of his old friend. This created a large amount of emotional turmoil for him, and the player got to see and experience how he confronted and overcame it.
Though some might find him overrated, I have to disagree; Cloud is a remarkable character, and one who completely deserves the recognition he gets.

New theme! Now with sexy snow girl!

In case you are wondering who it is, her name is Mizore Shirayuki, a yuki-onna (snow woman) in the anime/manga 'Rosario + Vampire', which I have recently watched and read. The quote is from the Elbow song 'One Day Like This'.
Isn't she pretty? ![]()
