I just started to play Final Fantasy 7 for the first time and Cloud is immediately introduced as an eco-terrorist. How is that supposed to make me like him as the good guy? He is literally breaking the law.
Anya is so sexy
>>725955150he's not an eco-terrorist, he's a mercenary who works for eco-terroristsdid you even play the game?
>>725955150He's just a hired hand.
>>725955368>he’s not a ecoterrorist he just works with them to advance their goals
I know OP is a massive faggot but what exactly did Cloud need money for again? Was it just something menial like basic living expenses?
>>725955150Back then saving the fucking planet wasn't a quick rich scheme but something the young and naive genuinely believed in.
>>725955479Yeah. Midgar is probably a very expensive place to live, hence the poverty.
>>725955479Dude, it's his fucking job.
>>725955479It's not about the money. It's and the personality. Cloud was emulating what he thought a badass SOLDIER would do>Zack>Yep... gotta change my plans!>Hmm......>No matter what I do, I need some money first...>...Hey, wanna start a business? But what could we do?>Hey, Cloud.>Think there's anything I'd be good at?>Hey old guy!>What do you think I'd be good at?>Driver>What're you yappin' about? You're still young ain't ya?>Young folks should try everything!>You gotta pay your dues while you're young.>Go out and look for what you really want.>Zack>Try everything... That's easy for him to say...>[He does squats for a minute.]>HEY!>Of course!>I got a lot of brains and skill that other guys don't!>That settles it!>I'm gonna become a mercenary!>Yeah! Thanks pops!>Driver>Hey... didn't you even hear a word I said?>Zack>Listen, I'm gonna become a mercenary and that's that.>Boring stuff, dangerous stuff, anything for money.>I'm gonna be rich!>So, Cloud? What are YOU gonna do?>Driver>No, wait... you got it all wrong.>Cloud>u... uhhh......>Zack>Just kidding... I won't leave you hanging like that.>[He crouches down next to Cloud.]>...We're friends, right?>Mercenaries, Cloud. That's what you an' me are gonna be.>Understand, Cloud?Initially Sephiroth was Cloud's template of a strong SOLDIER but we saw how that turned out. So then Zack became Cloud's template of being a strong SOLDIER and being a mercenary was what he wanted. So when Cloud snapped out of his Mako Poisoning, he just piggybacked on Zack's dream. What does an ex-SOLDIER do? He becomes a mercenary for money.
>>725955368>he's not a criminal. He's just coconspiring with them
>>725956039This makes more sense narratively than "it's his job".
>>725955892>no you don’t get it my boss is a Nazi I don’t want to really gas the Jews but it’s my job my hands are tied
>>725956289Cloud wasn't initially into the whole eco terrorist thing, he just wanted to grab the money and fuck off, did you even play the game?
>>725956510Still makes him a terrorist. He took the easy way out instead of getting a job at McDonalds. He saw the money and colluded with ecoterrorists.
>>725956614>instead of getting a job at McDonaldsTo be fair he wasn't too smart before the Mako poisoning, and that whole ordeal only seems to have made him next level retarded, both mentally and physically
