Please join us for a week-long celebration of one of the most beloved heroes in video game history! Each day will have a unique Cloud-related theme as inspiration, starting with Cloud’s birthday on August 11!
Themes:
August 11: Happy Birthday Cloud!
August 12: I’m sorry about your ass. Favorite “Cloud is a little shit” moment.
August 13: Nailed it, I know. Cloud’s fashion.
August 14: This is a one-time gig. When it’s done, we’re done. Favorite Cloud cameo.
August 15: Any last words? Cloud in battle.
August 16: There’s not a thing I don’t cherish. Cloud and his family and friends.
August 17: Not interested. Cloud Strife iconography.
August 18: I’m going to live my life without pretending. Favorite Cloud scene.
Rules! We welcome creations featuring Cloud from his many appearances across the compilation and other games/franchises, and all media types are welcome (art, fic, music, cosplay, etc.), but please keep it SFW.

I’m going to live my life without pretending. Favorite Cloud scene.
My favorite scene in Final Fantasy VII is the lifestream, but my favorite Cloud specific/centric moments are these three. Probably my favorite 3 speeches he has through the game (I'm sorry for the differences that the beacause mod had in my recordings oops):
1) After Aerith's death.
I talked before how Cloud opening up to his fears is my favorite thing about him in the game, in particular what I love about this segment is this 'There's someone inside me. Someone who's not really me'.
Can't tell why it hit me really hard and still does.
2) After the lifestream scene.
Hey it's Cloud opening up to everyone again, and what's even better: Real!Cloud. I love in particular the phrase "I'm Cloud(...)The master of my own illusionary world" (and heck yeah, the prompt phrase is from here)
Also his little breath of relief at the very end KILLS ME ;;
3) On the highwind after defeating Hojo
Probably my favorite speech of him all around, asking people what's what they love the most, and to go to them, instead of 'selfishly" ask them to go with him for an heroic and close to impossible mission, with the realistic possibility that they'd die on it. A sense of grow that was building up through the whole game, loved that decision.
(and I mean, you can count what happens with Tifa after that moment too, of course hohoh)
