This is Cloud's official profile from Degenki PS3
The man who 2 years ago defeated Sephiroth, and held back the threat of Meteor. In the end he became a hero who saved the life of the planet, but what he lost during that battle took a heavy toll, and Cloud’s heart continued to be tormented by a deep sense of regret and blame towards himself. It was during this that he met Denzel, a boy inflicted by “Geostigma,” a mysterious illness believed to be caused by Meteor. And so Cloud leaves and struggles to find a cure for this illness. However, he finds himself infected by Geostigma, and as if fleeing he removes himself from the presence of his friends. Cloud suffers at the thought of being unable to save anybody. His heart remains trapped as it was 2 years ago…
Not letting him escape, ghosts from the past silently creep up on him. The battle with Kadaj’s gang who have suddenly appeared. And glimpses of the shadow of Sephiroth behind them. Cloud is once again consumed by a fate he cannot free himself from. However, seeing the children– pained by Geostigma but still trying to survive– stirs Cloud into action. And those who once fought by his side, and those who once stood opposed to them… with the aid of many, Cloud gradually regains his will to fight.
