Cloud Strife/Dissidia (PSP)

Cloud Strife is one of the heroes fighting for the side of Cosmos in Dissidia Final Fantasy. Though considered composed in the eyes of his comrades, he often questions the reasons for fighting and struggles to understand them.

Cloud's appearance is almost identical to his original artwork, with minor changes to his his belt and completely new boots similar to his Amano artwork. The new art is even in the same pose as Nomura's concept art of him. His iconic hair appears to be more based on his original artwork as well, although slightly altered. His alternate costume will be his outfit from Advent Children, along with the First Tsurugi's main blade as his weapon, and the completed sword for his EX Mode.

Destiny Odyssey VII
After a battle between the forces of Cosmos and Chaos, Cloud finds himself with Firion, Cecil and Tidus, who view him as a composed figure and rely on him in the tensest situations, though Cloud later admits that he was anxious. He questions the reasonings of fighting the forces of Chaos, and asks his three companions this. Cecil says he likes to know the reasonings himself. Tidus declares that he has a score to settle with his father Jecht, while Firion appears simple-minded about finding the Crystals.

Sometime after, Cloud finds Firion alone and Firion produces a rose that he uses as a metaphor for his dream of being free from oppression, and that was when Cloud challenges him to a sparring match to see how strong his dream is. After this, Cloud grows increasingly worried that he may not have a dream at all and confides in Cecil for answers. Just then Firion and Tidus appeared and the three agreed to help Cloud- on a condition that he will let them teach him a few things, which he promised.

While continuing alone on his journey, he encounters Sephiroth who prepares to duel him. However, when Cloud refused to fight him because he claims that he did not have a reason, Sephiroth reveals to him the same rose that belonged to Firion, indicating that the latter was hurt. Cloud chases Sephiroth all the way to the Northern Crater, where the villian repeatedly calls him a puppet because of a lack of meaning and claims that manipulation was needed. Cloud declares he came of his free will and the two engage in an epic duel. After that, Cloud receives a small round Crystal and Sephiroth says it was through his manipulations that got Cloud this far. Once again, Cloud says he can do fine on his own and finds reason for continuing to fight within the promise he made to his companions.

Destiny Odyssey VI
Sometime after his duel with Sephiroth, he encounters a young woman named Terra, whose power was growing out of control which prompts Cloud to defend himself. Then, he journeys with her to face her archrival Kefka, who was holding captive her young companion, which turns out to be an Onion Knight and with Kefka is the Cloud of Darkness. Cloud and the Knight distract the Cloud of Darkness while Terra battles Kefka.

Destiny Odyssey II
Cloud then appears with Tidus to defend Firion from the Emperor, who disappears right before their eyes, and hands back the rose.

EX Mode
Cloud's EX Mode is to transform the Buster Sword into the Ultima Weapon, and his EX Burst is Omnislash, where the player rapidly taps Circle to fill up a Limit Break bar - the more full it is when time is up, the more slashes Cloud executes, up to a maximum of fourteen, plus the finishing blow.
