Now, it could be that cloud not having a personality was on purpose. Many good videogame characters don't have personalities so that the player can project their own personalities onto the character. Think Mario, Link and Gordon Freeman. However, this being a Final Fantasy game, I don't think that is the case. Final Fantasy games (especially the 3d ones) are highly story driven, and therefore they usually give the main character a personality.In other words, I agree that the game should have been Cid, Barret and Red XIII's wacky adventures, in which they would fly around in the Highwind fighting crime and dealing with Cid’s crippling emotional problems.Fun time all around!I must say though, even though they wern't very interesting as characters, Cloud and Sephiroth did have pretty interesting backstories.
