Not sure about "epic" tag, feel free to remove it.

I'd call this pretty epic.

More of manly and gar than epic.

Now this a Cloud Fuckin' Strife that we should of had!

Don't really like this. Genzoman's manly Link was ok, but this is just meh!

Final Fantasy 7 meets Word of Warcraft...?

Holy Shit! That's manly!

Squall: "Ooh, I'm Cloud, I wanna be forgiv'n, ooh...!"

that pic is pretty cool, but why for heaven´s sake is he smokin´ a pipe???

'Cause it's more manly than cigars...?

Hmm, that's a tough call. At least for me, Cigar = Military, while Pipe = Gandalf.

And you're saying that Gandalf, the old guy who beats knights, orcs, and various other troops to death with his stick, is not manly?

I'm a LOTR-geek. My mistake, for assuming that everyone else also thinks that Gandalf > everything.

I am....very turned on by this right now..

I dunno, I think of pipes as 1 part manly and 1.5 parts fancy. Cigars aren't as pretty, which is manly.
Don't forget, pipes also = Merry.

This is epic. This belongs here.

If only this were real...I might've liked Cloud more. As it is? I hate him with a passion. This picture is amazing though.

Vikings are all around epic anyways. And thats what he looks like here.

How is this what, this is not what, this is GAR.

I agree with this, if it was a pic in the winning stages of the fight it would be epic, but there isn't enough happening in the pic for it to be epic IMO. Completely manly and GAR though.

HOLY

if this cloud was my dad, things would be different around here.

when people complain about Cloud being gay you can just show them this

Yeahhhh about that... the only problem being that he actually does NOT look like this in official art?

how is drawing cloud as a big burly bear suppose to make him not gay...

It makes him Bara now...which is just as hot. I see it as a win/win.

Estupendo..!!!!! Asi es como debe de ser, bien machote...

Yeah. Thats why it was never actually cast in the game.

Cloud "Neck Snap McBitchfist" Strife.

I'm willing to accept this as the official ending of FFVII

If FFVII was created in the US.

omg if cloud have that lvl of badass i realy want to know how is barret... i mean... WoW

This is FFVII if it were made by Americans rather than Japanese.

I would be into Final Fantasy if Cloud looked like this.

I just noticed the Aeris tattoo.

Awesome.

Cloud Strife: The True Story

I agree with most others on this. Though the artwork is amazing I woulden't exactly call this "epic" in anyway. One cause Cloud would never be skilled enough to sever Sephiroths head, and the other reason. Rather obvious. The over buff viking/pirate looking Cloud is just wierd..

Exactly which is why i'm glad JAPAN made the Final Fantasy series. Nothing epic about this at all. Save maybe for Cloud fanboy/girl's.

You sir have terrible taste in manliness and GAR.

guess this is why squaresoft left the level cap at 100, am I right?

Even his moustache is spiky...

This would be the North American cover art if FF7 was an NES game

Man looking at these old comment reminds how much I hate the early to mid 2000's
