How is Cloud not a parody in Advent Children? Every bit of character development in VII was chucked in the bin for the brooding emo Cloud in AC.
Please Nomura, keep that compilation shit out of the Remake.
That's kind of what happens when you have
clinical depression, you turn despondent. If we go to Crisis Core, he's a perfectly normal but slightly unconfident human being.
Furthermore, its not a parody of anything because Cloud was never in a depression in the original game, he's not parodying any behavior then, to begin with, we can barely parse original Cloud's mindset because he was so busy acting like other people for a majority of he game.
In KH, he's a different interpretation of the character entirely like everyone else, except this cloud is battling his dark side who is supposed to be represented as Sephiroth, hence why Nomura felt it appropriate to give him Vincents oufit.
Even dissidia(daisuke watanabe) is essentially a Cloud that has essentially suffered 12 ground hog days of a huge war and has become unfeeling outside of Tifa.
As for wanting compilation to stay out of FF7R, that's not going to happen. Its apart of the FF7 lore.
