Character Vs. Character: Cloud Vs. Squall

Platform Nation: This week’s battle is one for the fanboys. It pits two RPG titans from different worlds into one epic battle that will leave you wanting more: Cloud Strife from Final Fantasy VII versus Squall Leonhart from Final Fantasy VIII. Which of these heavy hitters will come out victorious? Only time will tell, but before we can delve into the crux of this story, I must first present you with the skinny on these iconic characters.

Cloud wins. Squall is annoying and his gunblade is useless.

Bobbykotickrulesz5039d ago (Edited 5039d ago )

Sephiroth descends from the heavens and murders both Cloud and Squall in one swift slash.

Game over. Sephiroth wins.

@below

Ah whatever, I don't watch Japanimation movies anyway. Sephiroth is less of a wuss so he wins by default.

Army_of_Darkness5039d ago

Umm..FF7:advent children says otherwise bro.

Cloud Wins! OMNISLASH.

evrfighter5039d ago

Cloud wins only if it's not cg animated cloud. If it's cg cloud they both lose

Chewy1025039d ago (Edited 5039d ago )

Cloud doesn't use omnislash in AC. The limit he used on Sephiroth in AC was Omnislash v5.

Omnislash is when he hits a random target 14-15 times ending with a super heated Braver. Omnislash v5 is when he splits his sword around a single airborn target slashing it once with each sword using supersonic speed.

Army_of_Darkness5039d ago

He doesn't use omnislash, but he uses omnislash v5.... Okay. But it's safe to say that he took out sephiroth with omnislashes rite?! in FF7 and AC!

btw, squall stands no chance against cloud. He's a super soldier!

Chewy1025039d ago

Well in FF7 Could only kills Sephiroth with omnislash if you chose to. If you wait a little bit after your limit bar fills Sephiroth will attack and Cloud will auto-counter with a normal attack killing him. So one could argue that Could never used omnislash on Sephiroth since that's the players choice and not in the script.

As for Cloud being a "super soldier", you're wrong. The original Cloud never got past Soldier 3rd class and thus he never was fully enhanced with Mako nor Jenova cells. The Cloud in FF7 and AC was a failed Sephiroth clone not a member of Soldier. He thought he was Soldier 1st class because those where Zack's memories taking over in place of his own being trapped in the lifestream.

As you can tell Iv played/watched the FF7 games/movies to damn much (other than Before Crisis. Don't like phone games). Im the same with Broly from Dragon Ball Z.

DJexs5039d ago

Cloud was never even a soldier

klado5039d ago

Wrong, Zidane wins, thank you!

Chewy1025039d ago

Squall's gunblade is one hell of a weapon. Not only is it a standard two hand single edge sword it's a damn six shot revolver style shotgun! How is that a bad weapon?

You must be thinking of Seifer's (spelling?) gunblade. That's the one that's just a 9mm pistol with a three foot blade added to the end.

On topic-

It's a hard call either way. Squall is well rounded and has a gun for range. Cloud has a lot of power and can use the sword as a shield. If Cloud uses the sword from FF7:AC (forget the name) could also take apart the sword for better speed at the cost of power and defence.

Id have to vote for Cloud. He may not have the range Squall has but he can change his fighting style mid battle if needed.

Deputydon5039d ago

I'm just gonna go ahead and say they both would lose because Chrono would simply go back in time and rape both their mothers...

Spenok5039d ago

I agree that Cloud wins, but you cant write off Squall so quickly. And his gunblade isn't totally useless.

Word, it's hard to tell who is more effeminate. That is what they are comparing..right?
=D

CrzyFooL5040d ago

CLOUD HAS TEH BIGGAR SWORD!!

Bobbykotickrulesz5039d ago

That's what she... Oh fuck it. We all know the joke.

I'm getting myself a sammich :D

RedPawn5039d ago

That was some funny shit.

CountDracula5040d ago (Edited 5039d ago )

Are they guys or girls? I can't tell!

Stupid gay EMO/Japanese haircuts.

UPDATE:

Not prejudice but the plain truth! (Unless you are BLIND)

Parapraxis: I wouldn't type that because it sounds mean. YOU IS SICK.

Parapraxis5039d ago (Edited 5039d ago )

I think the word you are looking for is androgynous jlg112592. Well that is if you didn't want to come off as a tool.
=D
EDIT: lol, grade A edit mate ;)

BubbRubb5039d ago

Cloud is less emo... but his name is "Cloud"....

i can't decide.

Arnon5039d ago

>Cloud is less emo

Lol? He's considered like... the epitome of emo for the FF franchise. Ever seen Advent Children?

seij5555039d ago

He DID have a terminal illness though.

BubbRubb5039d ago

squall turned being emo into an art form

ThanatosDMC5039d ago

Squall did get the girl in the end... though she was such a slut. Yep, it's implied that she had sex with Seifer all ready. That would have been funny if after the end credits it says something like "Squall contracted herpes after that night."

Anyway, i like Squall better than Cloud.

Also, it is implied after the second fight with Seifer at the end of Disk 2.

Neo Nugget5039d ago

What does his name have to do with anything?

Parapraxis5039d ago

Clouds are generally considered "gloomy" lol...ya I know crazy characters with names that are actual words with meaning!
=D

BubbRubb5039d ago

Squall is also a word, and it's much more masculine than "cloud".

i'd say the two are even.

also, ff8 is really good.

Original Final Fantasy 7 - Is it Worth Playing in 2024?

Final Fantasy 7 has come back under the spotlight thanks to the release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, but is it worth replaying the original?

Got to Zacks part in 7 Rebirth. Said f it. Finishing my game in 7 og. Just got to part 2 yesterday. I also got Crisis Core... So it'll be a while before I'm back to Rebirth. I just keep thinking about it too smh, want to get back to playing it. Not till I know Zacks story though. I beat 7 og sooooooo long ago, it's crazy going through it again and remembering things.

MrNinosan16d ago (Edited 16d ago )

Got to Zacks part in Rebirth?
You mean you started the game and turned it off?
The game starts with Zack...

ravens5216d ago

... Really 🤓 lol. His second part, I've played for 80hrs lmao. <---- PS5 Run time, probably not all game time. You guys know how it goes.

VIK212116d ago (Edited 16d ago )

Did you not ever play the OG FF7? After you recruit Vincent, later in the game, disc 3, return to that basement and look at the pod, there's a whole Zack story that'll trigger as a memory.... it's well hidden in the game and a lot of things regarding Zack are cleared up. FF7 Crisis Core is basically an extend feature of that hidden flashback... It took me years to discover it back then lol

https://www.youtube.com/wat...

MrNinosan16d ago

@ravens52
80 hours in Rebirth by doing everything, and you should've reached Zacks story about 5 times 🤣

ravens5215d ago

Ye I kno that's y I said not all gameplay time. But also I am very anal when it comes to exploring.

ravens5215d ago

Not to mention fighting Titan at his full strength. Hours spent trying still haven't succeeded. Found all 3 ruins but I'ma masochist when it comes to games.

Barlos16d ago

Very much so. Graphically it's dated but the story and the gameplay haven't aged a day. It's still one of my all time favourite RPGs and for me is better than Remake in some ways.

Barlos16d ago (Edited 16d ago )

It always takes me back to Christmas 1997, I got it as a gift and I was blown away when I played it. I couldn't believe games could look that good. The combination of pre rendered backgrounds and FMV really made it stand out. It definitely still has a certain charm that modern games can't replicate.

I can't imagine people will still be talking about Remake and Rebirth in 27 years.

Tapani15d ago

Fully agreed. To me the atmosphere, pacing, gameplay and music are all better than in the remake.

Rebel_Scum16d ago

Yes, play this, skip remake, start rebirth for new players.

I_am_Batman16d ago

Skip Remake? That's terrible advice.

leahcim16d ago

Remake is so amazing, pure FFVII Love, play it on PS5 please! aww the graphics the battles, the music... a dream come true.

Rebel_Scum16d ago (Edited 16d ago )

I disagree Batman

Rise of the ronin sold twice as much as Dragons Dogma 2 this week...but no articles about that. It's only news if a PS exclusive is being outsold.
