I dont know why they try to make him realistic. hes a video game character
Imagine Goku getting a CG movie, and in that movie they tone down his spikey hair and make him look more human!
Imagien the outcry
Cloud has gone mainstream
Square should have left his spikes intact, notice the original pics and compare to the new pics, night and day
Also in FF7 FMV Cloud looks tough even without frowning, but he looks totally weak in Advent children FMV
I just DO NOT like taking the look of a classic character and changing it
I showed a fellow FF7 fan the Cloud PS3 video and the first thing he said was "That\'s not Cloud"
