Who is Cloud 's father?

Darth Sideous (through non-penetrative lifestream insemination)

Glenn Lodbrock

No but he calls Barret, daddy

immaculate conception

I don't think that checks out

would anyone really fuck this? she looks like a carbon copy of cloud himself

Unfortunately this anon isn’t meming (except for the non-penetrative part which isn’t true). Apparently in one of the books Cloud’s father comes to town, knocks up Claudia, and then mysteriously disappears leaving only his clothes behind next to a naturally occurring pool of mako.

Critical story locked behind a mobile game

i can't believe nomura got away with it AGAIN

literally some guy
the whole point was that cloud wasn’t some destined hero whatever dude, he was literally just some nameless grunt in the right place at right time
hojo was sephiroths dad by the way or rather they don’t know who because that lucretia gangbang doujin was canon

It only takes two clicks to add your name to the filter no matter how many times you keep changing it.

Glenn from the gacha

Lol

People keep saying this
Is it cannon?

That got retconned into Which means the only reason Cloud survived all those years with Mako poisoning was because his dad is a prototype SOLDIER.

Bro I pulled that out of my ass. Didn't know about the book stuff.
Imagine your expanded lore and some 36 year old dad's idea of a joke being the same thing.

The Shinra Manor is right there. By his house. Where his single mother lives. Nah but real talk it was some random adventurer dude that died in the mountains lmao

that’s fucking gay

retconned

No.

Claudia was really that kinda hoe, huh?

looks the same

similar names

Reproduced by budding confirmed

that’s really fucking gay
i believe it too, would be typical nomura bullshittery

How does Hojo even pull ass? The guy looks like he molests children while talking about eugenics unironically. Every depiction of him is as some kinda bastard man who is obviously amoral, untrustworthy, and incapable of human empathy.

I thought he was a clone of Sephiros.

how does harvey weinstein pull ass?
he's a top ranking official in a dystopian society, he can have anybody he wants

They just call them clones, they arent actual clones but rather people with his cells in them

Its a mystery.

I'm trans btw

Would've been kino if it was President Shinra.

Was it really too much to ask to give the translators context into what the fuck they were translating?

Here it is, only 20 years late :^)

They just call them clones, they arent actual clones

Final fantasy terminology always pisses me off. The Japanese constantly misuse english word. FFX had Sin, which had nothing to do with sin.

Sin is more forgivable given the context it exists in. But the word "clone" can absolutely deceive players into thinking that Cloud is a test tube baby when neither he nor the rest of the black robes are even close to being that

named Clouda

names her kid Cloud

I don't blame Cloud's dad for ditching this narcissist

Cross dressing Cloud looked more feminine than this.

Final fantasy terminology always pisses me off. The Japanese constantly misuse english word.

In the Japanese text they're called "Sephiroth Copies"(Sefirosu Kopii) because they're people injected with cells from Sephiroth and Jenova, and Sephiroth himself was the prime result of the previous iteration of Jenova cell experiments.
The usage of "clone" came from the American translator working alone under a time crunch and just going down an excel sheet.

FFX had Sin, which had nothing to do with sin.

Sin was named such by people who followed a religion that believed it was a manifestation of humanity's sins.

I guess he took after the mystery dad.

we need a name for Cloud's mother

"....Cloud...a. Clouda."

Bravo, Nomura.

When I played FFVII on the psx, I always just imagined Cloud as basically Guts mixed with Goku. It's always so jarring to see him as a skinny armed fujobait twink.

I always just imagined Cloud as basically Guts mixed with Goku.

he's copy pasted from 10-year-old Gohan

Claude Strife

Okay so Guts mixed with Gohan. But yeah, even then 10 year old Gohan has more muscles than the fujobait twink that Cloud has became.

Cloud side story book said his father was just a random travelled that knocked up his mom and died in mt nibel to monsters
the descriptions said he was "fast as the wind" and stuff, suggesting he was a Bartz-like character, you know, from FFV.

no true, retards

It's just a fan theory based on him being a newly introduced mobile character with blond hair, and a presumption that he must be critically important to lore.
There's nothing connecting him to Cloud besides the hair color. His plot connections are to Wutai and Rufus.

fast as the wind, says the chick he screwed.

Lmao one pump man.

it got the job done
if god doesnt care about women orgasm then why should men?

Jame Gumb is his father.

Copies isn't a good word either then and none of that is as clear in game as what you wrote.

The usage of "clone" came from the American translator working alone under a time crunch and just going down an excel sheet.

The problem is the word copy not the translation. Even if he went with "Sephiroth Copies" people would infer that meant clones.

they're copies of the process that made Sephiroth
it's also major plot point that it's slightly deceitful and Sephiroth tricks Cloud into thinking he's a fake person, but then he remembers what Hojo actually did to him. "Copy" makes sense for both
