However, during the film Cloud faces his past both metaphorically and literally, with Sephiroth's rebirth, his visions of Aerith and shows of loyalty from his allies. Cloud decided to distance himself from his friends and live alone as he tries to keep his affliction secret and seek forgiveness so that he might find a cure. The final straw was when he contracted the terminal and incurable Geostigma, which added to his feelings of helplessness. In Advent Children and many related appearances, Cloud is a much more somber and dark character, tormented by his past, including the deaths of Aerith and Zack. In Kingdom Hearts II, Cloud appears identical to his Advent Children self, save that his new sword is loosely bound as the Buster Sword was in Kingdom Hearts.

His costume also features many crossing belts. He wears gloves, the left of which has golden trimmings, almost like a claw. Cloud wears a tattered red cloak with dark blue pants and a shirt and brown boots. In Kingdom Hearts, Cloud's costume was designed to resemble Vincent Valentine's outfit.
Cloud also gains an entirely new pauldron, and his chest is covered by two straps, held in place by a badge representing Fenrir, the animal that has come to be associated with Cloud. His clothing consists of a high collar black shirt with no sleeves, black pants and boots, and black cloth covering his left leg and arm the cloth on his arm seems to mainly be to hide his Geostigma symptoms.

He also wears his helmet to hide his identity at times. In Crisis Core, Cloud wears the uniform of a Shinra infantryman of blue clothing with several belts and straps and a gray-green piece of cloth around the collar. This is also the uniform he wears for most of his other appearances, with slight variations. Cloud also wears brown boots and gauntlets with a single pauldron over his left shoulder.

Because "Mako eyes" are an icon of SOLDIER, Cloud is often mistaken as one. Cloud has blue eyes, which glow due to the Mako flowing through his body. Cloud was originally conceptualized with black hair, but this was changed, and his hair is meant to serve as a contrast to Sephiroth's silver hair. For this reason, Cloud's spiked hair has become one of the trademarks of his appearance, although in later appearances the spikes have been toned down. His blond hair is spiked, and in Final Fantasy VII featured one particularly large spike emerging into the air. 3.7 Dirge of Cerberus -Final Fantasy VII-Ĭloud is of short height with a slim build.3.5 Advent Children/Advent Children Complete.His arch rival Sephiroth, having killed many of Cloud's friends, is the metaphorical embodiment of Cloud's dark memories, and the two have done battle several times to finish their conflict.Ĭloud Strife has been featured as the central topic of two Square Enix promotional books, CLOUD Vol 1 and CLOUD message.
