Yea Cloud was a pretty good character in FF7. I liked the swords that he used which were twice as big as himself.
Cloud was certainly one of the most complex characters I've ever had the pleasure of playing. It was one of those rare games where you never actually found out who you were or why you were really there until halfway through them game because of his memory recall problems, and that developed the storyline in lots of good ways later on.
Aeris, on the other hand, is one of my all time favorite characters. Although she wasn't much in the fighting stakes, emotionally you kinda got tied to her as she was the first person you saw in the game (FMV sequence at the beginning in the alleyway before she walks out into the street), but she's also the only one to die, which is very unusual in FF games.
Snake wasn't developed enough in the character stakes imo during MGS, they had plenty of opportunity to do so because MGS was a huge storydriven environment (as well as a great stealth 'em up of course), but for some reason you had to fill in his character as you went using the 'bio files' on the on screen menus at the start of the game. Maybe we'll see another side to him in MGS2 rather than just the mean war veteran who goes around killing people for his masters.
Most recently, in Skies of Aracadia on the Dreamcast, you had some brilliant character development, every member of your party had some kind of background to them as the story progressed, as well as a lot of your crew members and 'npcs', which weren't really npcs because nearly every character you met in that game, with very few exceptions, either developed the storyline or had some kind of contribution to make.
Fina, who started this game with effectively a clean character slate because you are given no information at all about her, was very interesting to watch as she progressed, as well of course as the main hero, Vyse.
Overall, for me, it's a close one between Vyse from Skies of Arcadia and Cloud from FFVII.
I'd have to choose Cloud if forced to make a choice between the two of them.

Yea he was a very good character, he had the whole story line built around him which stooped the game from becoming confusing.
I think the consensus of opinion quite rightly goes with Cloud. He made FF7 and FF7 is perhaps the greatest game of all time. His recall problems make the game all the more interesting and you foung yourselfplaying it just to find out the nest part in the story rather than to complete it. FF7 was definately a gr8 and sometimes I found myself going in on it for the pure pleasure of it even though i wasnt trying to achieve an objective, for a singleplayer, that is very rare.
