Cloudy Wolf

Cloudy Wolf attire in the arcade version of Dissidia Final Fantasy.

Cloudy Wolf, also known as Advent Attire, is the attire Cloud Strife wears in Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children that has since become his iconic "alternate outfit" seen in various spin-off appearances. It is designed by Tetsuya Nomura, Cloud's original character designer and the director for Advent Children.

Cloud wears a high collar sleeveless indigo shirt, black pants and boots, and black cloth covering his left leg and arm. He has a shoulder pauldron, and his chest is covered by two straps, held in place by a badge representing Fenrir, a wolf that has come to be associated with him. The outfit incorporates elements from his original outfit, notably the single pauldron, as well as Sephiroth's outfit with the crossed straps and the long piece of cloth around his leg and the single long sleeve that bring to mind Sephiroth's long black coat.

Cloud wears a pink ribbon around his left arm, though it usually stays hidden. When Cloud wears this outfit he wields the Fusion Swords—his new multi-blade combine weapon from the movie—rather than the Buster Sword, his iconic starter weapon from Final Fantasy VII.

Cloud's new design was made with fighting in mind. The concept began with a black robe and was restructured into the final version. The wolf motif from which the attire gains its name is Fenrir. It is the gray wolf that follows Cloud throughout the film, and Cloud wears his emblem on his shoulder pauldron, his earring and gloves, as well as on the background his cellphone. The emblem is also on Barret's, Denzel's, and Tifa's rings. Cloud wears a pink ribbon hidden under the sleeve in remembrance of Aerith Gainsborough. The sleeve also hides his Geostigma infection, which he wants to conceal from his friends. Cloud loses the sleeve during the movie.
