1Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/03(金) 18:30:23.13 ID: ID:VFmVADxg0

Childhood
・A loner “Chee-gyu” (cringe nerd)
・Calls you out in the middle of the night out of nowhere just to talk about his dreams alone

Adulthood
・Collapses at the station acting like a total lunatic
・Completely different memories and personality

This is way too creepy lol

2Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/03(金) 18:31:33.99 ID: ID:NDXYhkMH0

Tifa is so kind.
I guess beautiful girls really do have beautiful personalities.

3Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/03(金) 18:31:35.61 ID: ID:1pcwcInh0

But he’s a hottie though.

4Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/03(金) 18:31:36.58 ID: ID:hU+vfMqX0

Can we keep the “FF” talk that only boomers care about in the boomers’ memories?

5Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/03(金) 18:31:36.98 ID: ID:Fddu6kci0

It only works out because he’s good-looking.

7Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/03(金) 18:31:53.31 ID: ID:zDZI89fS0

Looks really do solve everything.

161Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/03(金) 20:03:56.36 ID: ID:8y14Qmya0

>>7
He probably drifted into Midgar while still acting like a lunatic.
He must have been filthy, probably leaking excrement everywhere, gaunt from not eating, hair a mess, facial muscles all slack…
No way Tifa thought “Oh, Cloud is so cool” when they reunited.

8Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/03(金) 18:32:34.85 ID: ID:RfOD8DR40

True that.

9Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/03(金) 18:33:26.48 ID: ID:5GcDBEeR0

This game became a legend because they made a literal lunatic the protagonist, you know! 😤

10Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/03(金) 18:33:46.97 ID: ID:5aaFREHP0

But he’s got a handsome face.

12Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/03(金) 18:33:59.73 ID: ID:JY/Hb/jH0

If he looked like Barret, she would have just ignored him and left him there.

13Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/03(金) 18:34:08.98 ID: ID:CFgxjVes0

It’s so “incel-like” to call someone out and then be like “I didn’t think you’d actually come.”

14Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/03(金) 18:34:45.46 ID: ID:pvWhCm7r0

He’s just Zack’s “used” goods.

15Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/03(金) 18:34:48.63 ID: ID:kYtf+ESM0

Cloud-kun suffers from depression, ADHD, and schizophrenia, after all.

82Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/03(金) 18:54:02.41 ID: ID:USnptJXS0

>>15
LMAO, that’s a full combo of diagnoses.
What even is this?

16Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/03(金) 18:35:22.28 ID: ID:5aaFREHP0

She grew up to have huge breasts. Good thing he “marked his territory” when they were kids.

24Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/03(金) 18:37:54.28 ID: ID:oohy58rSd

>>16
He didn’t mark anything, he’s been getting used and tossed around.
She’s a flower girl, you know.

33Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/03(金) 18:39:05.61 ID: ID:qIUVGo+B0

>>24
She’s a bar owner in the slums, man.

36Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/03(金) 18:39:52.94 ID: ID:oohy58rSd

>>33
So she’s like a snack bar mama-san?
Hard to believe there’s no “extra services” going on there.

17Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/03(金) 18:36:01.22 ID: ID:oh/X8vsl0

Seriously, if he wasn’t handsome, she wouldn’t have bothered.
Even if he looked like an average Joe, it would still be way too creepy.

18Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/03(金) 18:36:01.41 ID: ID:4m2wOYL9d

Good looks hide a thousand sins.

19Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/03(金) 18:36:01.69 ID: ID:fecn7fRp0

Cloud: “Auau-ah…”
Tifa: “Cloud?”
Cloud: “I’m a SOLDIER 1st Class.”
The kindness to actually believe him…

23Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/03(金) 18:37:50.57 ID: ID:6XPd8zfF0

>>19
Tifa: “(Whoa, this guy seems dangerous, I’ll just play along for now.)”

20Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/03(金) 18:36:11.16 ID: ID:wZPNb0cT0

He might be a nerd now, but after Tifa’s mom died, he was a delinquent who picked fights with anyone and everyone.

21Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/03(金) 18:36:37.86 ID: ID:oSfoUnH20

What if he looked like Hassan?

31Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/03(金) 18:38:48.56 ID: ID:oohy58rSd

>>21
Then he and Zack would just be “hole-brothers” sharing Tifa.

22Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/03(金) 18:36:53.99 ID: ID:5M6li6a60

Didn’t they reunite after he started doing terrorist part-time jobs?

25Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/03(金) 18:38:11.38 ID: ID:wjgM0yYG0

It only works because Tifa had a crush on him from the start.

26Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/03(金) 18:38:11.98 ID: ID:HowMChZh0

People say Tifa was great for staying quiet during the SOLDIER talk,
but if you were actually there, you’d be too stunned to say a word.

27Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/03(金) 18:38:12.23 ID: ID:hU+vfMqX0

This game… I only learned about it through the remake, but it’s not even fun.
The design is old, the story isn’t as amazing as people make it out to be. A scenario of this level would just get buried nowadays.

Everything about it is stale.

I guess it can’t be helped since it’s a game for boomers, but it doesn’t hold up in this day and age.

28Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/03(金) 18:38:12.30 ID: ID:mPbMTWGod

I thought it was a nice detail that Cloud’s acting in Rebirth’s flashback chapters leans towards Zack’s personality.

29Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/03(金) 18:38:18.38 ID: ID:DIyVScqw0

Tifa was looking after his part-time jobs too.

30Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/03(金) 18:38:42.25 ID: ID:hU+vfMqX0

So this is what the boomers called “legendary”…

32Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/03(金) 18:38:53.49 ID: ID:7/T49+R40

Aerith: “There’s this weird guy acting like my first love…”

Isn’t it great how she never points it out?

39Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/03(金) 18:40:49.91 ID: ID:oohy58rSd

>>32
She just wanted a surrogate d*ck.

34Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/03(金) 18:39:14.94 ID: ID:PobgeNo10

It’s a mystery why she didn’t get mako poisoning after falling into the Lifestream.
It’s also a mystery how she managed to enter Cloud’s mental world from there.

35Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/03(金) 18:39:38.60 ID: ID:hU+vfMqX0

I guess everything was pretty loose in the boomers’ era.
Old anime settings and logic are a mess too.

37Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/03(金) 18:40:31.85 ID: ID:nyf8TJ6GM

Why didn’t someone just beat him back to his senses?

38Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/03(金) 18:40:34.16 ID: ID:HowMChZh0

It was hilarious how realistic it was when the guy playing Cloud messed up and went silent, while the guy playing Zack came out to apologize.

40Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/03(金) 18:40:54.95 ID: ID:NDXYhkMH0

It must have been mentally exhausting for her to not be able to say anything even though she thought he was acting weird.
At first, I was like “what?” at the scene where he gets hysterical at a dog at the Gold Saucer, but that makes sense now.

41Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/03(金) 18:41:10.67 ID: ID:DIyVScqw0

Tifa also taught him about sex.

42Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/03(金) 18:41:53.09 ID: ID:VFmVADxg0

If he hadn’t been liked by the popular guy Zack, or forced into those mako baths, he would have just stayed a regular infantryman forever.

43Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/03(金) 18:42:31.41 ID: ID:JY/Hb/jH0

Zack was handsome, a SOLDIER, and everyone’s hero. It’s plausible that young guys would try to copy him exactly.

44Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/03(金) 18:42:33.14 ID: ID:Or5FR/lq0

Popular people generally don’t listen to others, do they?

46Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/03(金) 18:42:52.51 ID: ID:p2eS8FGq0

But Cloud is amazing. If I were him, I would have killed myself.

47Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/03(金) 18:43:09.36 ID: ID:mPbMTWGod

There are so many fan-fics about “Tifa-rape,” but once she was living in the slums, she should have had enough combat ability that an average guy wouldn’t stand a chance.

52Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/03(金) 18:44:38.62 ID: ID:HowMChZh0

>>47
It’s probably the usual “drug that makes you lose your strength.”

157Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/03(金) 20:01:21.38 ID: ID:jaQWBsv50

>>47
Between the ages of 16 and 21, while grieving, she was getting passed around by random guys.

48Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/03(金) 18:43:45.54 ID: ID:cQP84B1bd

But the real Cloud-kun is still in there.

49Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/03(金) 18:43:46.83 ID: ID:+Ryvlpnb0

And she’s completely in love with him regardless.

50Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/03(金) 18:43:52.73 ID: ID:C8LNDgWx0

That’s exactly why.
They weren’t even close, but he responded to her call and told her about his dreams on the water tower.
Cloud, whose mind was weakened by Hojo using him as a prototype, had foggy memories—but the memory of the water tower remained strong and never faded.

51Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/03(金) 18:44:18.34 ID: ID:AjncajGY0

But Tifa knew the person named Cloud actually existed, right?
Why didn’t she just say “No, Cloud is real?” when Sephiroth told his lies?

53Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/03(金) 18:44:40.08 ID: ID:hxUOWD0z0

I actually played this recently and I didn’t see what was so interesting about it.
You shouldn’t blindly trust stories boomers rave about.
Dragon Quest 11, which the boomers kept praising, was boring as hell too. Everything boomers recommend is a dud.

54Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/03(金) 18:44:47.17 ID: ID:kMctDSEz0

Sephiroth killed all those villagers while acting insane, shouting things like “You guys are parasites that came to this planet!”
I wonder what he thought when he realized he was the one mistaken and that the “parasite” was actually himself.

56Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/03(金) 18:45:25.66 ID: ID:SOPdh7Az0

“I… I thought everyone was stupid.”
“They were always laughing at silly things, they were childish.”
“…I get it. I’m the stupid one.”
“I really wanted to play with everyone, but I just couldn’t ask them to let me join in.”
“Eventually… I started thinking that I was different from everyone else…”
“I told myself I was different from those childish people.”
“But… maybe.”
“Maybe, if I wait, someone might call out to me.”
“Thinking that, I would hang around them…”

He’s basically a stereotypical “Nan-G” poster (Japanese anonymous board user).

59Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/03(金) 18:46:45.01 ID: ID:fybmk0YG0

>>56
But he’s a hottie.
And when he finally got the courage to ask her out, Tifa was soaking wet for him.

60Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/03(金) 18:46:45.54 ID: ID:+Ryvlpnb0

>>56
He has the single biggest advantage: he’s handsome.

58Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/03(金) 18:46:44.45 ID: ID:AjncajGY0

I get that Tifa would want to protect her childhood friend who’s acting weird, but having him join a terrorist organization is insane.
