And regarding Cloud would be better if he was like Zack... No. Just... No. Nonono. We have come to like Cloud because he is like he is. Stop. Being like Zack, he would just be a clone with blonde hair. Just... No. His friends and Aeris loved him like he was, as in: nothing like Zack. So... Just no. Zack is Zack, Cloud is Cloud. Stop trying to turn the second into the first one just because you like it more.
Can you imagine if Cloud had lines like, say, Yuri Hyuga?
"Hey, Sephiroth, before you kill the planet with Meteor, will you do me one favour?"
"What do you seek, puppet?"
"I wish you'd shove it. You know where."
That'd be fucking awesome. Zack could just about pull it off, too.
Cloud couldn't, and wouldn't. But then, he has very good reasons not to. And if you'd paid some attention to what I was saying, rather than leaping to Cloud's defense because you think I'm being mean to him, you might have realized that.
It's just that, Cloud wasn't made to be fun. He was made for, like you said, 'serious business'. To tell the truth, I think that, if Zack was still alive, he and Cloud would be at odds many times for Zack's attitude to things. BUt I guess now we should stop off-topiching.
