Product Synopsis
«©NCSX»
Cloud is
what we would consider a sympathetic hero. While
awe-inspiring with his innate skills and abilities,
we nonetheless pity him. Cloud suffered an agonizing
loss in Final Fantasy VII and he suffered from
Geostigma in Advent Children. His eyes betray a
great sadness within but he shoulders onwards
nonetheless. We'd advise him to go Goth and dye his
blond locks black to match his somber aura.
Square's got a cottage industry centered around Cloud and the
company produces a 122-page book and DVD which
focuses on the tragic hero and the games that he's
featured in. Yes, we're aware that the mook was
released in mid-December 2007 but better late than
never?
The early pages of the mook (magazine + book = mook) contain a
Final Fantasy VII Compilation Gallery which features
full-page artwork and information on the main
characters in the game. There's Cloud, Tifa,
Sephiroth, Aerith, and others. On page 45, Gackt
makes an appearance and he's strangely exotic with
his blue eyes and feathered hair. Gackt's sort of like
a Final Fantasy character come to life and based on
interviews with him, he's liable to believe it. A
full listing of the chapters in the mook and the DVD
may be viewed below:

The Final Fantasy XIII trailers are
stunning with trademark flashy style and heroes who
are impossibly perfect. None of Square's
protagonists will ever sport adult acne or even an
out of place whisker. To be a Square hero is to be
perfectly coiffed and painstakingly fit.
Maybe that's the "fantasy" part of the equation.
All in all, the Cloud mook is
something that'll be treasured by fans of the Final
Fantasy series. Fans who also happen to adore Cloud
will be in seventh heaven. Everyone else ignorant of
the Cloud phenomenon will look
at the cover art and think, "Why is that chick
so depressed?" or "Dude is the leader of a hair band."

From the Distributor
Square Enix takes an unprecedented look at the character Cloud Strife, the
hero of several games in the Final Fantasy series, from his redesign - as a
female character! - in Final Fantasy XIII and Final Fantasy Versus XIII, in
addition to the series Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy VII: Advent
Children. Part artbook, part interviews, part lifestyle magazine, Cloud
Volume 1 takes the character's charm, worldview, and fashion into
perspective, giving readers a new look at an old favorite. In addition, the
volume comes with a Special Edition DVD (Region 2) that features game
trailers and game footage from games like Final Fantasy VII, Kingdom Hearts,
Final Fantasy XIII, and more! The evolution of game journalism beings here!
