Cloud Strife
Job Class: Soldier
Weapons: Sword
Helmets: Hat
Armor: Clothes
After a lengthy journey in Chapter Four that takes you all over Ivalice (specifically the area close to Zeltennia Castle and Goug Machine City), you will be able to talk Cloud Strife into joining your party. For the Final Fantasy VII fans out there this will be an exciting moment, as they are able to relive memories of the game. After all, the Cloud you encounter in Final Fantasy Tactics is identical to the FFVII hero, from his spiky hair to the devastating attacks produced by his hidden Materia Blade. These Limit attacks have been taken from the pages of FFVII and translated to FFT format for your enjoyment.
The downside of this event, however, is that Cloud must be trained starting at Level one–a difficult task, especially so late in the fourth chapter, when your other characters should be at Level 50 or higher.
