Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy VII Remake, and Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children all include Cloud Strife as the main character. He also appears as a supporting character in the Compilation of Final Fantasy VII spin-off games Dirge of Cerberus (Final Fantasy VII) and Crisis Core (Final Fantasy VII). Cloud has been described as an anti-hero by some critics because of his willingness to use violence to solve problems. However, other characters also die in the story line and there are several moments where Cloud shows genuine remorse for killing people. He is a highly skilled fighter who uses a variety of weapons including swords, guns, axes, and bows. In addition to fighting monsters, he also battles other players in special events called "Guild Wars". The first one was held in Garou: Mark of the Wolves, where he fought against seven other heroes; it ended with him losing to Sephiroth. The second one was held in Final Fantasy VII; it ended with him losing to Aeris despite being given the chance to save her. Cloud's personality is shown through his conversations with other characters and how he reacts to certain situations. For example, when he meets Barret for the first time, he assumes that since this guy is smart enough to build his own gun that he must be good with computers. When Barret reveals himself to be inept with technology, Cloud feels guilty for thinking so poorly of him.
