Why is Cloud so down? Oh... I don't know.. Maybe because he lost his best friend, first love, not to mention blaming himself for the loss of both. For a long time his entire existence is a lie, his own memories are someone else's, and he has to face is own reality, all while having the fate of the entire world on his shoulders.
To be fair, his 'mid-sentence' pauses are synonymous with his development as a character. I can only assume he is very hesitant in every way, down to his delivery of speech. You have to remember, he lost his only/best friend and a girl he loved and blames both accounts on himself. Anyone would be hesitant and take time to measure every choice they make after that.
Zack: You...will be...my living legacy... Cloud: *nods* Aerith: I'll meet you in the promised land... *fades* Cloud: ...Aerith... Everyone: We're counting on you! The world is counting on you!! Cloud: ... Sephiroth: I will keep coming back. Cloud: ...argh... *facepalm*
I really love some of Cloud's intros. Some of them give serious nostalgia and have meaning like- "Show me the power of light" Warrior of Light "No chain is unbreakable" Garland "I'm not anyone's tool" Emperor "Who do you fight for?" Golbez "You don't know true despair..." Exdeath "Let's do what we can" Terra "Fight with pride" Squall (Love the Zack-ish kinda reference there) "You won't touch my memories" Ultimacia "No one is too special" Jecht "Can you break from your past?" Judge
Golbez- "You're not evil, there's someone you care about" Bartz- "You're raring to go aren't you" Exdeath- "The Void this, the Void that, you're getting on my nerves" Terra- "How can I fight someone as pretty as you" Kefka- "Oh, just another psychopath" Cloud- "You need to let go of your past and move on" Sephiroth- "Good thing I like a challenge" Squall- "Even loners need company"
Cloud: you don't know true despair. Exdearth: I just spent half my life as a fucking tree. I watched everyone around me die. I think I know despair bitch. Me: You just got told!!!
I came up with intros for when I myself when I encounter them Warrior of Light- "The Warrior of Light, are you ready to fight" Garland- "Ever thought of trying something other than fighting" Firion- "You fight for a dream. That's awesome' The Emperor- "I bet you can't take a punch you're majesty" Onion Knight- "Ready to learn to new tricks" Cloud of Darkness- "I don't fight women, but in you're case, I'll make an exception" Cecil- "Sometimes you have to fight to help"
I'm so gonna be relieved, seeing the difference between Cloud's intros and Lightning's. Hell...... Vs. WoL: "Cut the "light" crap already" Firion: "At least you're better than some "man" I know." Onion: "It's too early for you to die." CoD: "For every cloud, I strike harder." Cecil: "Light and darkness doesn't know you." Bartz: "I'll teach you to copy ME, punk." Terra: "It's not a matter of can or can't." Kefka: "Ya know what? F**k you!" Cloud: "Does your hair even defy gravity?"
cloud's quote to firion is a reference fo zack it was so cool, cloud have no memories like the other warriors of their world still he remember that firion remind him of zack, I guess cloud and zack friendship was a strong one after all.
@CrimsonVermillioneye In Dissidia 012 its said that all warriors lost their memories due the fact that it was the price for their ressurection every time they die in oder to come back their memories was the price and they start anew without memories and as they fight they remember some momories so they have to fight in order to remember that's what I know from dissidia 012 because that was the pact between shinryu and cid
Warrior of Light: As you wish, comrade. Garland: Unlike the one connecting you to Sephiroth? Firion: In a way, I am. Emperor Mateus: Jenova begs to differ. Onion Knight (Luneth): And I hear you're from SOLDIER. I don't plan to disappoint! Cloud of Darkness: You can't even rip through your own. Cecil Harvey: Don't be so callous with your own life. Golbez: A good question, soldier. Bartz Klauser: Like I have anything better to do. Exdeath: That's funny, I think you could use a little more of that. Terra Branford: As we shall. Kefka Palazzo: Sorry, can't hear you, it sounds like you're making more mopey noises! Cloud Strife: They never will be, puppet. NEVER. Sephiroth: As I do with you, false SOLDIER. Squall Leonhart: May you do the same. Ultimecia: Your memories are an open book, empty one. Zidane Tribal: I can do that and kick your butt. How's that? Kuja: If it makes you feel better, I won't regret ending you. Tidus: You can thank Yuna for reinforcing it. Jecht: Not everyone can beat a champion, kid. You of all people should know that. Shantotto: And I've seen plenty of boys wielding giant swords, young man. Gabranth: I can't simply stand there and let it dictate me. Nor should you.
Undoubtedly a strange choice. Cloud had a lot of trailed off sentences and ellipses in his respective game but I don't think he paused in mid-sentence and resumed again a second later THAT often, did he?
@WolfSyn Yes, but Cloud's intros are somewhat more serious than most others since some of them often joke. I've never played FF7 yet because I don't have the game, nor this one, but watching Advent Children gave me enough information to know what it's about. Cloud's my second favorite while Squall takes first.
Zack quotes part2: Exdeath-What happens after you obliterate all? Terra-You remind me of someone dear to me. Kefka-You're quite the hopeless case. Cloud-You said you'd live both our lives. Did you keep your promise? Sephiroth-Time to settle this once and for all! Squall-Tag your pride with honor. Ultimecia-No matter how you bend time, you can never bend my dreams! Zidane-You picked the wrong pocket! Kuja: Your twistedness makes me sick! Tidus-Someone's cheerful today! Jecht: Family is a treasure
@Helixthetiger well if you lost someone special, even a slight resemblance to him will make you think of him, even if no one else would notice that resemblance..
@jackmasta200 It's like if you go "That guy reminds me of___" and your friend goes "Nah I don't see it" We can't all agree be reminded of the same thing by the same person, Cloud just happens to see Zack in Firion. Maybe the way they're both so loud.
Well, he's normally pretty good as Cloud. He voiced him in Advent Children and Kingdom Hearts too, and he didn't do all this pausing bullshit very much in there. And when he did it sounded natural. For some reason he decided to channel William Shatner when he did the Dissidia games.
@alef321 Because the the directors told the voice actors to imitate the Japanese voice actors. And due to the translations there's this awkward pauses in Cloud's dialouge. It's gone in Duodecim though.
@themettking XDDD. Yes, it would. Have you heard the poor guy say 'Burn'? You'd think Fire would be an element of passion and emotion, but not with Cloud!
@Espada5NnoitraJiruga I believe that he is referring to zack, even though he doesn't look like em, but im also guessing firin has the courage like zack used to have when fighting in battle. Thats my opinion ;-;
i'd love to see what Kingdom Hearts characters would say to him before a fight: Sora: so i'm gonna be seeing your TRUE power now huh? Roxas: i prefer quantity over quality (oblivion and oathkeeper vs one buster sword) Axel: (sing-song voice) my hair's spikier than yoouur haaaiiir. let me know if you guys think of others.
I just realized "Don't think, just fight" may not have been directed at Cecil, but himself.
Fight with pride. It seems like Cloud can understand what Squall is thinking even without words. They should team up, literally.
Kingdom hearts
no worries....they did.....in kingdom hearts.
@@insanitized750 Yeah, and it was awesome!
Why does he talk.......................like this?
Never thought........ I'd see the day.
He's too.......Emo to finish..... his sentences...... in a fluent....... and flowing....... manner.....
+Alicia Horton he only want say sorry and goodbye to aerith (sorry my english)
Jugdjay lmaooooo
Jugdjay Glad I'm not the only one to notice that lmfao
Why is Cloud so down? Oh... I don't know.. Maybe because he lost his best friend, first love, not to mention blaming himself for the loss of both.
For a long time his entire existence is a lie, his own memories are someone else's, and he has to face is own reality, all while having the fate of the entire world on his shoulders.
Thaank you!
i know im 6 years late but thank you
Didn't seem like enough to bring him down in FF7.
That is a good reason. Except ever since Kingdom Hearts they made him nothing but miserable, even when it has nothing to do with FF7 events.
'We just met, but I won't miss you.' Best. Line. Ever. XD
Well that's because the voice director wanted for Steve Burton to do all those pausings because the Japanese voice actor for Cloud did the same thing
To be fair, his 'mid-sentence' pauses are synonymous with his development as a character. I can only assume he is very hesitant in every way, down to his delivery of speech. You have to remember, he lost his only/best friend and a girl he loved and blames both accounts on himself. Anyone would be hesitant and take time to measure every choice they make after that.
I just assumed it’s because he’s lifting his sword he takes a quick pause because it’s a bit hefty
"If I win are my sins forgiven?"
Oh Cloud...
I'm going...to see my speech therepist
Lol
Cloud: Why you're always so happy?
Tidus: Because so happy! Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof.
LMFAO
Zack: You...will be...my living legacy...
Cloud: *nods*
Aerith: I'll meet you in the promised land... *fades*
Cloud: ...Aerith...
Everyone: We're counting on you! The world is counting on you!!
Cloud: ...
Sephiroth: I will keep coming back.
Cloud: ...argh... *facepalm*
"Why are you always so happy?" I think Cloud watched too much video where Tidus laughed by thinking he was happy
cloud to shantotto: 'never seen anyone like you.' does he thinks he's THAT tall?
I really love some of Cloud's intros. Some of them give serious nostalgia and have meaning like-
"Show me the power of light" Warrior of Light
"No chain is unbreakable" Garland
"I'm not anyone's tool" Emperor
"Who do you fight for?" Golbez
"You don't know true despair..." Exdeath
"Let's do what we can" Terra
"Fight with pride" Squall (Love the Zack-ish kinda reference there)
"You won't touch my memories" Ultimacia
"No one is too special" Jecht
"Can you break from your past?" Judge
"You don't know true despair"
- Says Cloud to the one dude who nearly brought despair to the entire multiverse.
I think Cloud was meaning to say "You don't know what true despair feels like."
Golbez- "You're not evil, there's someone you care about"
Bartz- "You're raring to go aren't you"
Exdeath- "The Void this, the Void that, you're getting on my nerves"
Terra- "How can I fight someone as pretty as you"
Kefka- "Oh, just another psychopath"
Cloud- "You need to let go of your past and move on"
Sephiroth- "Good thing I like a challenge"
Squall- "Even loners need company"
Im just glad that cloud's voice acter did his voice again. Its the guy who did his voice in advent children.
Cloud.... Is a badass!
0:42
Cloud: I can rip through your darkness!
Cloud of Darkness: *blush*
Nice!
Cloud: Why are you always so happy?
Tidus: Cuz I don't keep my spiky head up my ass.
Cloud: Why are you always so happy?
Tidus: Why are you always so EMO?
Cloud: ..........
"I can rip through your darkness."
Just now, he sounded a lot like Riku from Kingdom Hearts.
Cloud: you don't know true despair.
Exdearth: I just spent half my life as a fucking tree. I watched everyone around me die. I think I know despair bitch.
Me: You just got told!!!
“Don’t think, just consume.”
Yeah... when I was listening to Cloud say to Tidus.."Why are you so happy?" I couldn't help but get in my head "why are you so sad?"
Cloud: Why are you always so happy?
Tidus: Because I have something to be happy about.
Cloud is my favorite character of all time! Cloud is the best!
I came up with intros for when I myself when I encounter them
Warrior of Light- "The Warrior of Light, are you ready to fight"
Garland- "Ever thought of trying something other than fighting"
Firion- "You fight for a dream. That's awesome'
The Emperor- "I bet you can't take a punch you're majesty"
Onion Knight- "Ready to learn to new tricks"
Cloud of Darkness- "I don't fight women, but in you're case, I'll make an exception"
Cecil- "Sometimes you have to fight to help"
Cloud:Why are you always so happy?
Tidus:I can score even in the dark!
Awww yeah!!! TIDUS AND CLOUD ON THE SAME SCREEN I AM FANGIRLINGGG
The long pause makes things funnier
0:16 Who does Firion look like? I'm racking my brain and getting nowhere trying to figure it out.
"We just met, but I won't miss you"
Best quote Cloud has ever given!
Yes!
OMG! What is with the Shatner pauses????
I'm so gonna be relieved, seeing the difference between Cloud's intros and Lightning's. Hell......
Vs. WoL: "Cut the "light" crap already"
Firion: "At least you're better than some "man" I know."
Onion: "It's too early for you to die."
CoD: "For every cloud, I strike harder."
Cecil: "Light and darkness doesn't know you."
Bartz: "I'll teach you to copy ME, punk."
Terra: "It's not a matter of can or can't."
Kefka: "Ya know what? F**k you!"
Cloud: "Does your hair even defy gravity?"
he pauses so much
cloud's quote to firion is a reference fo zack it was so cool, cloud have no memories like the other warriors of their world still he remember that firion remind him of zack, I guess cloud and zack friendship was a strong one after all.

Warrior of Light: As you wish, comrade.
Garland: Unlike the one connecting you to Sephiroth?
Firion: In a way, I am.
Emperor Mateus: Jenova begs to differ.
Onion Knight (Luneth): And I hear you're from SOLDIER. I don't plan to disappoint!
Cloud of Darkness: You can't even rip through your own.
Cecil Harvey: Don't be so callous with your own life.
Golbez: A good question, soldier.
Bartz Klauser: Like I have anything better to do.
Exdeath: That's funny, I think you could use a little more of that.
Terra Branford: As we shall.

Cloud Strife: They never will be, puppet. NEVER.
Sephiroth: As I do with you, false SOLDIER.

Kuja: If it makes you feel better, I won't regret ending you.

Shantotto: And I've seen plenty of boys wielding giant swords, young man.
Gabranth: I can't simply stand there and let it dictate me. Nor should you.
Cloud: I've got *silent wheeze* throat problems
Dammit Cloud keeps forgeting to put on sunglasses and yell "YEEEAAAAAH" after finishing his paused sentences.
Undoubtedly a strange choice. Cloud had a lot of trailed off sentences and ellipses in his respective game but I don't think he paused in mid-sentence and resumed again a second later THAT often, did he?
Makes sense. Thanks for your thoughts.
Cloud probably makes those dramatic pauses so he has more screen time
its like his brain is being set on.....stun. Probably from the mindrape he got when he found out his memories were fused with zacks
@DeepCrimson I think Firion reminds him of Aeris
@WolfSyn Yes, but Cloud's intros are somewhat more serious than most others since some of them often joke.
I've never played FF7 yet because I don't have the game, nor this one, but watching Advent Children gave me enough information to know what it's about. Cloud's my second favorite while Squall takes first.
"Under the highwind...I hit that. They were....not implants."
Cloud: You won't touch my memories
Ultimecia: I don't have to. Jenova already did
His line to Cecil seems more like internal dialogue, rather than directing to his opponent...
Zack quotes part2: Exdeath-What happens after you obliterate all? Terra-You remind me of someone dear to me. Kefka-You're quite the hopeless case. Cloud-You said you'd live both our lives. Did you keep your promise? Sephiroth-Time to settle this once and for all! Squall-Tag your pride with honor. Ultimecia-No matter how you bend time, you can never bend my dreams! Zidane-You picked the wrong pocket! Kuja: Your twistedness makes me sick! Tidus-Someone's cheerful today! Jecht: Family is a treasure
"We just met, But I won't miss you"
Um... Yeah... Perfect thing for Cloud to say to Kuja... O_o
@soldierkei I think I read it on the Dissidia FF wikia that cloud where taking about Zack
@empyreanlc He's actually referring to Zack. They're both "hot-blooded"
Fight with pride. Because he's a lion, HUUUR, I see what ya did thar!
@Helixthetiger well if you lost someone special, even a slight resemblance to him will make you think of him, even if no one else would notice that resemblance..
Cloud needs some sunglasses, and a song that specifically goes "YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!".
1:44 "I've got a few things... to settle with you."
UNDERSTATENT OF THE F*#KING MILLENIUM.
(alt-costume Cloud throws his double-edged blade onto his shoulder)
"If I win, are my sins forgi-OH GOD OW!"
Cloud: I'm not anybody''s tool.
Tell that to Sephiroth for 3/4s of VII. And Hades in KH.
*small freak comes in*
Cloud: Never seen anyone like you.
"yap while you can" that accually sounded threatening lol
@jackmasta200 It's like if you go "That guy reminds me of___" and your friend goes "Nah I don't see it" We can't all agree be reminded of the same thing by the same person, Cloud just happens to see Zack in Firion. Maybe the way they're both so loud.
how come he doesnt sound pissed off when he says "ive got a few things... to settle with you"
Cloud's lines have more meaning to them for everyone. o.o
Cloud: Why are you always so happy?
Tidus: Why are you always so sad?
Cloud: I'm not anybody''s tool.
Tell that to Sephiroth for 3/4s of VII.
Cloud: Why are you always so happy?
Tidus: Because im a celebrity :)
anyone noticed that he is like
who do you...... fight for?
im not.... anybodys tool
@raeven1212 Kefka: -pops up out of nowhere- Why so serious?
"We just met, but I won't miss you"
WELL DUH!
Well, he's normally pretty good as Cloud. He voiced him in Advent Children and Kingdom Hearts too, and he didn't do all this pausing bullshit very much in there. And when he did it sounded natural. For some reason he decided to channel William Shatner when he did the Dissidia games.
@alef321 Because the the directors told the voice actors to imitate the Japanese voice actors. And due to the translations there's this awkward pauses in Cloud's dialouge. It's gone in Duodecim though.
"Who Do you fight for?"
"I fight for my friends"
@DeepCrimaon actully... I found out Firion reminds him of Zack...
If I win are my sins forgiven?
Me: Probably, but it won't matter since you'll just blame yourself for something else sooner or later.
Cloud seems to be suffering from Twilight Needless Pause syndrome.
I'm not anyone's tool. (in background Tifa) WHAT DID YOU SAY! Cloud: NVM!
I would like it more if Zack was in Dissidia in Cloud's place.
Cloud: I got....speech lessons....from...William Shattner.
"No-one is too special" Hmmmm not the impression i got from Cloud when Aeris died.
Cloud: Behold... *puts on glasses* my Horatio impression.
YEAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
@harpdevil Thats because SE like what they did to Cloud in Advent Children and so that's the Cloud we'll get regardless of timeline c,c
@themettking XDDD. Yes, it would. Have you heard the poor guy say 'Burn'? You'd think Fire would be an element of passion and emotion, but not with Cloud!
Cloud: Why are you always so happy?
Tidus: Why are you always so emo?
@Espada5NnoitraJiruga I believe that he is referring to zack, even though he doesn't look like em, but im also guessing firin has the courage like zack used to have when fighting in battle. Thats my opinion ;-;
CLOUD USES SO MANY FRIGGIN PAUSES IN HIS SENTENCES!!!!!!
i like tidus' responce to cloud: enough moping, lets go!
2:35
''What's up?''
''Never seen anyone like you..''
''Wahahahaha!''
I know who I'm trying out when i get this game xD
Cloud: Why are you always so happy?
Tidus: Because i'm never lost my worth memory with someone again & again :v
some of cloud's intros makes him pause for seconds after the first part of the sentence...then the second part
"We just met, but I won't miss you."
Damn. Talk about trash talk...
CUT! Cloud, would it kill you to put SOME energy into what you're saying.
All ways putting that sword up
Cloud to Exdeath: You don't know... true dis pear.
Exdeath: *trollface*
1:25 That motherf-cker. xD
@FujiwaraMisaki140 Zack Fair from final fantasy VII
i'd love to see what Kingdom Hearts characters would say to him before a fight:
Sora: so i'm gonna be seeing your TRUE power now huh?
Roxas: i prefer quantity over quality (oblivion and oathkeeper vs one buster sword)
Axel: (sing-song voice) my hair's spikier than yoouur haaaiiir.
let me know if you guys think of others.
