Is cloud left handed or right handed (or both?).
I often saw him using right hand (i htink in games), but I also saw posters with Cloud holding a sword with left hand.
Did squaresoft just forget or something?

The most likely scenario is that they really just didn't care.

I can't say I've ever noticed myself.  Whenever he actually uses the sword for attackage he has it in both hands anyway, most of the time at least.  I guess he's probably skilled enough to helicopter it round with either hand.

Cloud is probably right-handed.  I can't imagine Square deciding to make him left-handed just to introduce a bit of variety into FF.  A possible reason why he seems left-handed in posters may be because the manufacturer flipped the image around.  Remember that Japanese books go from right to left, while English goes from left to right.  When comics are translated for Western audiences, publishers often flip the texts and images so that they will read left to right (coherently, at least).

I think I remember Cloud raising the sword (when he's about to strike) over his right shoulder, and being right-handed myself and equipping a meter stick (One materia slot, Attack of 100 HAHA FUNNIES), it's awkward to bring the meter stick above my left shoulder with my right hand on top, and putting my left hand on top also feels awkward.  If that made any sense, congratulations, but this all simply means that I think Cloud is right-handed.

Right handed, as I am. I bat and shoot left though, and Cloud seems to hit right. I would bring the sword over my left shoulder, with my left hand on top.

I thought Kain and Rosa were both left handed in FF4.....

Cloud is right-handed. Swinging a sword over your shoulder is the same as swinging a baseball bat, and Cloud does it like a rightie would. It's even more evident if he has slash-all equipped, he swings the sword from the right.

well usually if you are right handed, even you use both hands you put the right hand on the front...


dunno...i can't test it out right now, my FFVII install disk is broken.

Kain was left-handed. Rosa could equip the bow in either hand, even thoug her battle sprite pulled the string with her left hand.

josh already cleared up the part about kain and rosa, but while we're on the subject, palom was also left handed.

it always kinda seemed to me that kain being left handed was kind of like showing an opposite to cecil, for a yin/yang kind of appeal. cecil and kain were very much different to each other, but operated well together. it always struck me that way, and i just wonder if anyone else feels the same. please tell me.

anyways, about cloud. he wasnt left handed or right handed. he didnt have hands. he had big boxes on the ends of his wierdass "popeye" arms. :lol:

It really doesn't matter whether he's right handed or left handed. At the end of a fight Cloud swings the sword with his right hand and draws it with his right hand.
