And you could to Cloud and Squall?
"I HAVE AMNESIA! AM I ME?"
"..."
Face it, Square can't write. If they make a relatable main character, it's an accident.
No no, Cloud is a brilliant, totally relatable character...for the target audience. Cloud is like almost every high-school nerd, the tyrant of his own little, carefully crafted, totally on-his-own-terms world. Then he gets thrusted out in the real world to find he's a big fish in a little, little pond. But, if you face your demons and beat your own short-comings, you can save the world and your childhood girlfriend will fall in love with you (and, dude, she's TOTALLY stacked now).
