Cloud Strife is the main predominant protagonist of the Compilation of Final Fantasy VII, starring as the main player character of Final Fantasy VII and the lead of Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children. He also appears as a supporting protagonist in Before Crisis: Final Fantasy VII, Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII, and Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII. Although at first claiming himself to be a 1st Class member of SOLDIER, Cloud's fight against Sephiroth pushes him towards realizations of who he really is.
| This dropdown contains the synopsis of Cloud’s story. Read at your own risk as you may be spoiled otherwise! |
|---|
|
Cloud Strife was a young boy who was born and raised in the backwater town of Nibelheim, by his mother Claudia Strife. Cloud was a shy boy who strayed away from making many friends, although he had an intense attraction for a girl named Tifa Lockhart. Wanting to not only impress her, but improve himself, Cloud decided he would leave for Midgar and become a SOLDIER, like his role model, Sephiroth. Cloud’s life would not be favorable to him, however, as he reached the Shinra Building in Midgar and would be quickly shuffled into the Shinra Infantry, a step below SOLDIER. No matter how hard he tried to stand out or for how long he served, he was never once made a SOLDIER candidate. A few years passed and Cloud would be sent out on a mission to track down the rogue SOLDIER, Genesis Rhapsodos. Leading the campaign was the SOLDIER 1st Class, Zack Fair, who bonded with Cloud over their backwater-origins, and formed a friendship. Cloud and Zack would quickly grow to be good friends over the next few years, although Cloud’s dream of being enlisted for SOLDIER never came true, despite how much Zack motivated him. The day came when Cloud would be sent out on a mission back in his hometown of Nibelheim, which greatly scared him. Cloud, terrified and embarrassed that he was returning to his hometown without having become a SOLDIER, hid himself behind his helmet the entire trip; especially when he ran into Tifa. Unfortunately, this campaign would be the very same one that saw Sephiroth learn of his origins, and be driven insane. Sephiroth massacred the entirety of Nibelheim, including Cloud’s mother, before heading to the Mako Reactor. Zack, Tifa, and Cloud each made haste towards the Mako Reactor to intercept Sephiroth. Unfortunately, Tifa was taken out, and Cloud was forced to comfort her while Zack went ahead. Zack, too, lost after a fierce battle, leaving it up to Cloud. Cloud took up the Buster Sword and surprised Sephiroth, stabbing him through the abdomen. After a short scuffle, Cloud overpowered the severely weakened Sephiroth, and threw him into the Lifestream, presumably killing him. After the fight, Cloud passed out alongside Zack and both were found by Professor Hojo, who retrieved their bodies and experimented on them for four years. Cloud was bathed in Mako for those four years, and even when he was rescued by Zack Fair, he still suffered the consequences. Cloud was not inflicted with Mako poisoning, which greatly affected his mind and made him vegetative. After Zack passed away trying to escape the Shinra army and make it to Midgar, he entrusted the symbol of his honour, the Buster Sword, to Cloud. Cloud also unintentionally adopted Zack’s identity as a SOLDIER. Cloud would go on to believe himself to be a former SOLDIER and now mercenary, which led him into the organization called Avalanche, which was hell-bent on saving the planet from things like Shinra, and soon the return of Sephiroth. Cloud formed an entire party alongside him that he would soon consider his family, as he travelled the entire planet on his journey to take down Sephiroth and recover his memories. He lost people along the way, but was able to fully recover his sense of self and grow comfortable with who he is. Finally, Cloud confronted Sephiroth once and for all, with the entire sake of the planet on the line. Using his Omnislash, Cloud was able to take Sephiroth out and send him back into the Lifestream. The next few years would be tough for Cloud, however, and the survivor’s guilt over Zack and Aerith’s deaths began to settle in. Furthermore, Sephiroth’s return began to grow apparent to Cloud, as he was inflicted in his left arm by a horrible plague known as Geostigma. His worst fears were realized, when three Remnants of Sephiroth appeared searching for the remains of Jenova. Cloud opposed them along with the rest of his party, but was unable to stop Sephiroth’s return. Finally visited by Zack and Aerith, who assured him that they never blamed him for their death, which gave Cloud the strength he needed to face Sephiroth once again. After striking him down once and for all, Cloud finally found true peace; watching Aerith and Zack return together into the Lifestream. |
Tier: 10-B, up to High 3-A with Sheer Will | At least 9-A | High 3-A | At least High 3-A
Name: Cloud Strife
Origin: Final Fantasy VII
Sex: Male
Age: 15 - 16 years old (Before Crisis/Crisis Core), 21 years old (Final Fantasy VII), 23 years old (Advent Children), 24 years old (Dirge of Cerberus)
Classification: Ex-SOLDIER 1st Class (self-proclaimed)
Species: Human
Occupation: Shinra Infantryman (formerly), Mercenary
Status: Alive
Alignment: Neutral Good (Cloud is a naïve, kind-hearted kid who aims to do whatever he can to be of use and do what is right. He faithfully listens to orders and puts his life on the line, despite not having the power of a SOLDIER. Even after Sephiroth went mad and destroyed his hometown, Cloud still fought him to the bitter end) | Chaotic Good (After having his mind broken and completely reconstructed by JENOVA, Cloud has become a somewhat new person. He is now much more self-serving, joining fights for money rather than his own goals, and hoping to show off in front of people such as Tifa Lockhart. Still, Cloud has a good heart deep down and refuses to willingly preform any evil acts, fighting on the side of good even if he does so begrudgingly at times) | Neutral Good (Cloud has regained his past memories from before his mind shattered, and is once again a pure-hearted hero. Although initially apprehensive about fighting again, he still always jumps into battle to protect the world, and notes that he cherishes the well-being of everything) | Neutral Good
Dimensionality: 3-D
Attack Potency: Average Human level (Could barely defend himself against standard enemies), up to Multi Supercluster level with Sheer Will (His power during a moment of desperation was considered very noteworthy. Through will alone, he was able to overpower and fatally wound Sephiroth, who can create a dimension containing starry skies and multiple galaxies. Sephiroth is also consistently stated to be the strongest character in the series, placing him above Bahamut Fury, who can also create a dimension with a starry sky, and Knights of the Round, which can destroy its own dimension containing a galaxy cluster) | At least Room level (Jenova rewrote Cloud's physicality to be what he envisioned of a SOLDIER 1st Class, and thus is comparable to standard Summons which are fought as regular training programs in the Shinra Combat Simulator, such as Bahamut, whose Megaflare is this powerful) | Multi Supercluster level (Can fight Sephiroth, who can create a dimension containing starry skies and multiple galaxies. He is also consistently stated to be the strongest character in the series, placing him above Bahamut Fury, who can also create a dimension with a starry sky, and Knights of the Round, which can destroy its own dimension containing a galaxy cluster) | At least Multi Supercluster level (Could defeat a later version of Sephiroth, who had become so much stronger that he could casually deflect the move that previously killed him)
Durability: Average Human level | At least Room level | Multi Supercluster level | At least Multi Supercluster level
Striking Strength: Average Human Class, up to Multi Supercluster Class with Sheer Will | At least Room Class | Multi Supercluster Class | At least Multi Supercluster Class
Lifting Strength: Athletic Human
Travel Speed: Athletic Human (Should be just as fast as his older self) | Athletic Human (He can run at similar speeds to a Chocobo; Chocobo are said in the Dissidia Final Fantasy Museum to run at 20 mph) | Athletic Human | Athletic Human, Superhuman with Fenrir (The average motorcycle can reach speeds between 80 and 165 mph)
Attack Speed: At least Massively Hypersonic+ | At least Massively Hypersonic+ | Faster Than Light | At least Faster Than Light
Reaction Speed: At least Massively Hypersonic+ (Should be similar to his early-game older self) | At least Massively Hypersonic+ (Can dodge the lasers from Shinra security system) | Faster Than Light (Could keep up with and defeat Sephiroth; Sephiroth knew Super Nova at the time of their fight, meaning he could react to the comet of his Super Nova) | At least Faster Than Light (Should be much faster than before. Could outpace Sephiroth’s reactions, who was able to react to the move he died to previously)
Stamina: Superhuman (Even when riddled with Mako poisoning, Cloud was able to walk all the way into Midgar from several miles away. Cloud went on his journey to defeat Sephiroth for countless days on end, with very few breaks in between, and never seemed naturally fatigued a single time)
Range: Standard Melee, Extended Melee with Buster Sword and Fusion Sword, Far Higher with Materia
Intelligence: Genius Intelligence (Although he spent several years of his life as a simple infantryman, it only took a bit of mental trickery for Cloud to become a convincing SOLDIER 1st Class. He was even able to outskill Sephiroth two separate times, who was a legitimate SOLDIER that had years upon years of experience on him)
Tier: At least 9-A | 2-C
Name: Cloud Strife
Origin: Final Fantasy VII Remake
Sex: Male
Age: 21 years old
Classification: Ex-SOLDIER 1st Class (self-proclaimed)
Species: Human
Occupation: Shinra Infantryman (formerly), Mercenary
Status: Alive
Alignment: Chaotic Good (Is somewhat selfish, valuing money over morals and fighting only because he his hired. He does refuse to perform evil acts, however, and deep down does want to assist the side of good) | Neutral Good (After reaching Destiny's Crossroads, Cloud discovered Sephiroth's plans, and has become more of who he truly is. Because of this, he's now fully committed to fighting for the sake of the planet, far quicker than he was in the original timeline)
Dimensionality: 3-D
Attack Potency: At least Room level | Universe level (Cloud could completely destroy the Whisper Harbinger, which is connected to all of time and space, and the destruction of which was seen across all of time. Was later able to contend with Sephiroth far earlier than he originally could, with Sephiroth being stronger than ever before after absorbing the Whispers)

Weaknesses: Cloud started off with a lot of self-esteem issues, being too embarrassed to even come to his hometown when he couldn’t become a SOLDIER. This shyness and embarrassment would be amplified into horrible memory and identity crises. Even after he got over those, Cloud suffered from horrible survivor’s guilt that made him give up on living for a while.
Note: Cloud's "Final Fantasy VII (Early Game)" key does not get "up to High 3-A with Sheer Will", unlike his previous key. This is due to a notable illness that Cloud falls prey to during the end of Crisis Core and into the beginning of Final Fantasy VII: his Mako poisoning. Mako poisoning leaves him in a vegetative state, and requires willpower to overcome. As such, since Cloud never truly overcomes his Mako poisoning until the end of the game, he has no Sheer Will tier.
