They must have played Tales Of Vesperia, you sould to if you get a chance.But yeah they are some anti-FF7 in this thread.I did not see Cloud as emo at all.I thought Cloud was very human and he had a very deep and complex backstory.

Sure it is.  Just look up the definition of a character.

So no.... He is not a better "Character" then Cloud, far from it. By this definition, Cloud is one of the best of all time.

He was a very boring character in a very boring story surrounded by very boring characters... and Mr. T with a gun arm.

Also....

fictional character: an imaginary person represented in a work of fiction

Videogames = work of fiction.

People you play = characters.

Any other such insinuation makes the genric dudes cry.

Also being really not caring because something bad happened is emo.

Yuri fits in the definition quite well as well.

@Kasz

My definition is much more descriptive. An imaginary or fictional character is just that, a CHARACTER that is imaginary. That does not mean the core definition of a character does not apply.

As a result, Warrior or whoever is not a character because he is devoid of personality or distinctive traits(besides his class).

It's more descriptive.... yet not correct. 

Plenty of characters in literary history are only known by what they've done and not by their personalities... at all.

Is it your claim that Beowulf is not a character?

Beowulf is also only known by his deeds with no mention of personality.

uhhh........Beowulf has a personality. What do you think all those lines of text are in his story? And so does Grendal for that matter.
