Cloud Strife

Cloud is the main hero in the smash RPG hit, Final Fantasy VII. One of the most recognizable figures in RPG-land, Cloud possesizes a head of spikey blonde hair and a large buster sword. In the FF-fandom, there is a large dispute over the love triangle between Cloud, Aeris, and Tifa. It's up to the player's discretion, given that the game is open to interpreation, but Square seems to love pairing Cloud and Aeris off together in cameos, don't they? *wink* Believing himself to be an ex-SOLDIER, Cloud sets out on what becomes a voyage of self-discovery as he saves the world from his old friend, Sephiroth.

You look so cute, Miss Cloud.

Kingdom Hearts

An RPG produced in 2002 by Square-Enix and Disney. Featuring character designs by Tetsuya Nomura, well known for Final Fantasy VII, VIII and X, as well as Parasite Eve 1 & 2, the game follows Sora, a 14-year-old boy on a quest to reunite with his friends Kairi and Riku. Along the way, he teams up with various Disney characters including Donald Duck, Goofy, Tarzan, Aladdin, Ariel, Jack Skellington and others as he battles the Heartless that threaten to destroy all worlds.

While the gameplay was above-average and the re-playability good, many "hardcore" fans don't consider this game up to Square's standards. Tougher-than-thou fans point out the child-like simplicity of a boy defeating the darkness in people's hearts as being too kiddish, as well as making fun of the inclusion of Disney characters, because as we all know, Disney = TEH EVAL!!!1

If people took the time to play the game without inhibitions and enjoy it for what it is -- Not Final Fantasy -- they might find that they would enjoy the game far more than they think.

The game features various Square cameos as well as Disney, including Cloud (FFVII), Aerith (FFVII), Yuffie (FFVII), Sephiroth (FFVII), Squall/Leon (FFVIII), Selphie (FFVIII), Tidus (FFX), and Wakka (FFX).

The original PS2 Kingdom Hearts spawned an array of related media, including a PS2 sequel (due the fall of 2005), a sequel for the GBA entitled Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, and a manga series. Who knows what the future will hold for this extremely popular franchise?

Julie is saving up for KH2 this fall.

Kikyou

A female character in the popular anime/manga series, InuYasha. Inuyasha's first love, Kikyo was a priestess who watched over the sacred Shikon no Tama (Jewel of Four Souls). After Kikyo and Inuyasha fell into a trap set by the cunning Onigumo, Kikyo sealed Inuyasha to a tree and died, the Shikon Jewel vanishing with her. Later reincarnated into a modern-day high school girl named Kagome who released Inuyasha from the tree, Kikyo was ressurected by the ogress, Urasue.

Although Kikyo doesn't appear in every episode, she has a huge presence within the series. In her heart she carries enormous hatred, but also enormous love for Inuyasha.

Kikyo is named after the balloonflower, which carries the meaning, "unchanging love."

Alternate spelling: Kikyou.

"The reunion between Inuyasha and Kikyo is a crucial point in the early part of the story." - Director Misahi Ikeda
