Up until, oh, around the Temple of the Ancients, Cloud mostly acts like a jerk with a heart of gold. He tries to act cool like shit doesn't bother him and he doesn't care who he offends, but he goes out of his way for his friends and gets pulled into the most ridiculous situations and sticks it out.
When shit starts getting real, he begins to get doubtful but mans the fuck up enough to carry on. Then his mind fucking breaks because he's actually been subjected to a shitload of fuck, and at his worst he's just a shy loser who's ashamed at failing. THEN FUCK THAT LET'S MOSEY
He's many things but he's not emo. Advent Children's story was horribly flawed, but even in that context it's just us seeing how this character, who's been through holy hell, can sit around questioning if what he did was right. All the while still manning the fuck up to beat stupid mother fucker clones to a pulp. He even bests SOLDIER 1st class Sephiroth in a fair 1-on-1 through all this "angst". Cloud never beat him alone before without the help of friends and Ultima or Knights of Round.
I even argue that he wasn't that emo. Fuck, if you had tried your whole childhood to be nice to a girl who acted like you didn't exist, almost got her killed by doing stupid shit on a cliff, and then the town hated you because of it so you became a lowly security guard...goddamn, and THEN you met someone better than you who believed you could carry on his legacy and suddenly died in your arms. You'd be holy-what-the-fuck messed up too.
Then if your Zack personality fell in love with his girlfriend when he was alive and you saw her get stabbed right in front of you and she died in your arms...no fuck it, no one could mentally recover from that.
Then if your warped mind realized you were living a lie and had multiple personalities and that girl who treated you badly helped you recover yourself and took care of you and when you came to you said "FUCK IT, LET'S MOSEY", you'd be a badass. Because goddamn you went through a shitload of fuck.
If after all that, you then had to face a debilitating cancerous disease from the pissed off planet you live on, and 3 fucktards trying to make it worse, and still feeling the ass-end of the dementia caused by those two people who died in your arms, god damn shit fuck I think you'd be a little ball of mope too. But like I said, Cloud manned the fuck up and fixed it all.
Emo people don't do that. They sit around and mope and cut themselves. Cloud pushed himself through depression multiple times and after having had more horrible bullshit happen to him than any living being.
