>>3550000the real cloud was never broody and rude to begin with, though. after zacks death, cloud dissociated into a false persona of a "stronger" and "better" version of him in order to cope. once he gains his true memories back, you can already see him start to soften up a bit. in the japanese version, he even uses the phrase "ikou yo" (a form of the verb commonly used by cute schoolgirls) over "ikuzou" (used to portray a "tough guy" persona, common used by shonen protagonists) and cid makes fun of him for it. that's why in the english version, he says "let's mosey" near the end of the game. the translators wanted to get across a similar "dorky" vibe.
