I typed the others in case it might help type him. It doesn't seem to, these are what I came up with, tentatively.
Code:
Zack - IEI-Fe
Tifa - SLE-Ti
Sephiroth - IEI-Ni
Aerith - IEE-Ne
Vincent - IEI-Ni
Barret - SLE-Se
Cid - SLE-Se
Yuffie - SEE-Se
For Cloud - ILI or SLI. I'm inclined to say emotionally damaged SLI more though. The way he uses intuition doesn't seem to be very healthy, positive, useful, or confident. It's as if he's been torn from his Si-ego.
Here is some dialogue I randomly grabbed from the script of the game (Final Fantasy VII: The Complete Script).
(Cloud looks out the window.)
Cloud
"A floating city... Pretty unsettling scenery."
(Barret gets up.)
Barret
"Huh?"
"Never expect to hear that outta someone like you."
"...you jes' full of surprises."
Barret
"The upper world... a city on a plate..."
"It's 'cuz of that &^#$# 'pizza', that people underneath are
sufferin'!"
"And the city below is full of polluted air."
"On topa that, the Reactor keeps drainin' up all the energy."
Cloud
"Then why doesn't everyone move onto the plate?"
Barret
"Dunno. Probably 'cuz they ain't got no money. Or, maybe..."
"'Cuz they love their land, no matter how polluted it gets."
Cloud
"I know... no one lives in the slums because they want to."
"It's like this train. It can't run anywhere except where its
rails take it."
Cloud
"Shut up!"
"I don't care about either Shinra or SOLDIER!"
"But don't get me wrong!"
"I don't care about AVALANCHE or the Planet for that matter!"
Cloud
"Long time no see, President."
President Shinra
"...Long time no see? Oh... you."
"You're the one who quit SOLDIER and joined AVALANCHE. I knew
you were exposed to Mako, from the glow in your eyes..."
"Tell me, traitor... what was your name?"
Cloud
"Cloud."
President Shinra
"Forgive me for asking, but I can't be expected to remember each
person's name."
"Unless you become another Sephiroth."
"Yes, Sephiroth... He was brilliant. Perhaps too brilliant..."
(Cloud steps back.)
Cloud
"Sephiroth.....?"
(Barret runs forward.)
Barret
"Don't give a damn 'bout none of that! This place'e goin' up with
a big BANG soon! Serves y'all right!"
...You all right?
...Can you hear me?
Cloud
".....Yeah....."
Back then... You could get by with just skinned knees.....
Cloud
"What do you mean by 'back then'?"
What about now? Can you get up?
Cloud
".....What do you mean by 'that time'? .....What about now?"
Don't worry about me. You just worry about yourself now.
Cloud
".....I'll give it a try."
"Oh! He moved!"
.....How about that?
Take it slow now. Little by little.....
"Hello, hello?"
Cloud
".....I know."
Cloud
"Hey... who are you?"
"Hello, hello!"
"You okay?"
"This is a church in the Sector 5 slums."
"You suddenly fell on top of me. You really gave me quite a
scare."
Cloud
"......I came crashing down?"
"The roof and the flower bed must have broken your fall.
You're lucky."
Cloud
"Flower bed... is this yours?"
(He stands up and brushes his clothes off.)
Cloud
"Sorry about that."
"That's all right. The flowers here are quite resilient because
this is a sacred place."
"They say you can't grow grass and flowers in Midgar."
"But for some reason, the flowers have no trouble blooming here."
"I love it here."
(Aerith follows Cloud. They jump across many rooftops and pieces of
debris, heading away from the church. Cloud gets far ahead of her.)
Aerith
"Wait... Wait, I said!"
(She catches up, carefully, femininely judging each gap.)
"Puff... wheeze..."
"Slow.... down.... Don't leave me...."
Cloud
"Funny..."
"I thought you were cut out to be
in SOLDIER?"
Aerith
"Oh! You're terrible!"
(Cloud laughs.)
Aerith
"Hey.... Cloud. Were you ever in
SOLDIER?"
Cloud
"....."
"...I used to be. How did you guess?"
Aerith
"...Your eyes. They have a strange glow..."
Cloud
"That's the sign of those who have been infused with Mako..."
"A mark of SOLDIER."
"But, how did you know about that?"
Aerith
"........Oh, nothing."
Cloud
"Nothing....?"
Aerith
"Right, nothing!"
"Come on, let's go! Bodyguard!"
(Cloud and the others are in the inn at Kalm.)
Cloud
"....and that's the end of my story."
Barret
"Wait a damn minute! Ain't there more?"
Cloud
"....I don't remember."
Aerith
"What happened to Sephiroth?"
Cloud
"In terms of skill, I couldn't have killed him."
Tifa
"Official records state Sephiroth is dead. I read it in the
newspaper."
Aerith
"Shinra, Inc. owns the newspaper, so you can't rely on that i
nformation."
Cloud
"......I want to know the truth. I want to know what happened
then."
"I challenged Sephiroth amd lived. Why didn't he kill me?"
Tifa
".......I'm alive, too."
Aerith
"Seems like a lot of this doesn't make sense. What about Jenova?
It was in the Shinra building, right?"
Cloud
"Shinra shipped it from Nibelheim to Midgar."
Aerith
"Did someone else carry it out after that? It was missing from
the Shinra building."
Tifa
"Sephiroth.....?"
Cloud
"What happened to you two?"
(He follows them outside. Aerith is standing behind a house, facing a
rock.)
Cloud
"Aerith..."
Aerith
"What a shock..... I didn't know Zack was from this town."
Cloud
"You know him?"
(She turns to Cloud)
Aerith
"Didn't I tell you? He was my first love."
Cloud
"............"
Aerith
"Zack.... SOLDIER First Class. Same as Cloud."
Cloud
"Strange, there aren't that many who make First Class, but I've
never heard of him."
(She turns back to the rock)
Aerith
"That's all right. It's all in the past now. I was just worried
because I heard he's been missing."
Cloud
"Missing?"
Cid
"Glad to be aboard, numbskulls!"
Cloud
"Numskulls...?"
Cid
"Yeah. Anyone stupid enough to go up against Shinra nowadays, has
GOTTA be a numskull! I like it!"
(He shrugs)
Cid
"So, where we headed?"
"Rufus was goin' after Sephiroth towards the Temple of the
Ancients."
Cloud
"Really!? ...Where is it? That Temple of the Ancients?"
Cid
"Dunno. That numskull kid was tellin' me he was headin 'the
wrong direction'... so maybe it's off this way?"
Cloud
"Let's just head for land and get some information. Temple of the
Ancients... that name bothers me."
Aerith
"I'm sorry, forget it!"
"I think I'm tired. I'm going to bed now."
(She runs upstairs)
Cait Sith
"What was that, all of a sudden!?"
"Is that all? How 'bout the Black Materia?"
(Cloud shrugs)
Cloud
"You wouldn't understand even if I told you."
Barret
"Now all we gotta do is take action! We're startin' tomorrow!!"
(Cloud makes his way to the bottom of the pit, followed by Aerith. He goes
over to the Black Materia.)
Cloud
"As long as we have this, Sephiroth won't be able to use Meteor."
(You get the Black Materia.)
Cloud
"Mmm?"
"Can you guys use it?"
Aerith
"Nope, we can't use it right now. You need great spiritual power
to use it."
Cloud
"You mean lots of Spiritual energy?"
Aerith
"That's right."
"One person's power alone won't do it."
"Somewhere special. Where there's plenty of the Planet's
energy..."
"Oh yeah!"
"The Promised Land!"
Cloud
"The Promised Land?"
"No, but..."
Aerith
"Sephiroth is different. He's not an Ancient."
Cloud
"He shouldn't be able to find the Promised Land."
Aerith
"Cloud, are you all right?"
Cloud
"...I gave the Black Materia to Sephiroth...?"
(He straightens for a brief moment, then falls at Aerith's feet.)
Cloud
"Wha... what did I do... tell me, Aerith."
(Aerith bends down to him)
Aerith
"Cloud... be strong, OK?"
(Cloud starts writhing on the ground.)
Cloud
"Urrrrrrgh... What have I done!?"
(Aerith kneels down by him.)
Aerith
"Cloud... you haven't done anything."
"It's not your fault."
(Cloud stands up slowly... and punches Aerith. She falls backwards and
Cloud falls onto her, landing blow after blow.)
Cloud
"I...! I'm----!"
(Cait Sith arrives. Tifa is frantic by the edge of the pit)
Tifa
"Cloud--!!"
Cait Sith
"Oops! This looks like I came at a bad time!"
"I'm Cait Sith No. 2. Right pleased to meet you all!"
(Cloud continues to beat Aerith.)
Tifa
"Cloud, what are you doing!?"
(Cloud stops and falls to one side. The screen goes white.)
Cloud
"Everything is white..."
"What did I do? I don't remember anything..."
"My memory... since when...? If everything's a dream, don't
wake me."
Cloud
"I don't know how Aerith tried to save the planet from the
Meteor."
"And I guess now, we'll never know."
"But!"
(He nods.)
Cloud
"We still have a chance. We must get that Black Materia back
before Sephiroth uses it."
"Let's go."
Cloud
"What's down there?"
Elena
"It's a SE-CR-ET."
"It really doesn't matter! But you really got guts doin' my boss
in like that!"
Cloud
"You mean Boss... Tseng? That wasn't us. Sephiroth did it."
Elena
"No! Don't think you can fool me, liar!"
Cloud
"I'm not lying... it was Sephiroth."
Elena
"Don't try to act innocent. I'll never forget it!!"
(Cloud scratches his head)
Cloud
"Oh, man..."
Cloud
"...SOLDIER, First Class?"
(He shakes it harder.)
Cloud
"...SOLDIER? When did I enter SOLDIER?"
(He clutches his head, trembling.)
Cloud
"How did I join SOLDIER?"
(He falls to the ground, shaking harder.)
Cloud
"Why... why can't I remember?"
(He rises to one knee.)
Cloud
"I'm... I'm..."
(He stands.)
Cloud
"That's right..."
(He nods)
Cloud
"...I didn't have to worry about it, because I was..."
(The screen fades to black. Silence.)
Tifa
"......Cloud?"
Cloud
"Let's go, Tifa. I'm... I'm all right."
Tifa
"You remembered!!"
(Zack rushes, leaving Tifa where she lies, up the stairs, after Sephiroth.
He sprints into Jenova's room.)
Tifa
"That's right! It was Zack who came to Nibelheim with Sephiroth!"
"Then, where were you, Cloud?"
(After a long, silent pause, Zack flies backward out of Jenova's room,
landing atop one of the pods, in exactly the same position as Tifa lies.)
Tifa
"Cloud... Did you... see it all?"
(There is a flash of white. One of the guards that accompanied Zack runs
into the pod room. The camera pans wildly as he glances in horror around
the room.)
Cloud
"I saw...... everything......"
(The guard dashes up the stairs to where Zack lies atop the pod. He grabs
Zack's sword and, laying it across his back, dashes up the stairs. Inside
Jenova's room, he rushes up to Sephiroth. Sephiroth turns just in time to
stabbed through the stomach by the guard.)
"Mom... Tifa... my town... give it back..."
Sephiroth
"Aaarrrgh...... who... who are you?"
(The guard pulls his sword from Sephiroth's body. Sephiroth kneels down,
clutching his stomach. The guard slowly backs away, shaking his head.)
"I had so much respect for you... I admired you..."
(The camera pans down to show the guard, facing away from Sephiroth and
looking down at the floor, breathing heavily.)
Tifa
"Cloud!?"
(The guard removes his helmet. It is Cloud.)
Tifa
"That's what happened..."
(The scene fades in to the Mako fountain in the Nibel mountains. Zack
stands in place of Cloud. Tifa walks toward the fountain, while the guard
looks on.)
Tifa
"You were there."
"You were watching me."
(The scene shifts to the Mako reactor in the Nibel mountains. The guard
blocks Tifa from entering the Mako Reactor.)
Tifa
"Yeah, I remember."
(Tifa turns away, her hands on her hips.)
Tifa
"Hmm... so it was you."
(The scene fades to black.)
Zack
"Hey, Cloud. If you're feeling sick, why don't you take that mask
off?"
Cloud
"Yeah..."
(The scene fades in. We are on the truck carrying Zack and Sephiroth in
search of their monster. The carsick guard is Cloud.)
Cloud
"Yeah... this is... me."
"I... never made it as a member of SOLDIER."
(The radio emits a blare of static, then emits a voice.)
"All Shinra Submarine Units, do you read...?"
"...All Shinra Submarine Units, do you read...?"
Cloud
"Hmm...? ...Must be from Shinra."
"...Report, No. 2..."
Tifa
"No. 2..."
"...I saw that written at the dock! They must mean this sub."
Cloud
"All right, I'll do it."
(He picks up the radio.)
Cloud
"This is Shinra No. 2... Everything's normal."
"...Roger..."
"...Your next mission is..."
"...Return to Junon Dock..."
"...We will transport the Huge Materia from the airport..."
"...Those without other assignments will report for guard
duty..."
"That is all. Over and out..."
Cloud
"Junon Airport... We should make it if we hurry."
"Forget about the Huge Materia for now."
"We're climbing!"
Cid
"The airport? No sweat!"
Cloud
"Hey, Cid! What're you doing!?"
(Cid turns to him.)
Cloud
"There are generations of knowledge and wisdom inside the
Materia."
"We're gonna borrow their powers and save the planet from
Sephiroth."
"There's no way that we can lose the Huge Materia. You
understand that, right?"
(Cid shakes his head.)
Cid
"Yeah, I understand. I understand that Materia is precious, and I
also understand what you're thinking."
"But listen."
"I don't give a rat's ass whether it's science or magical power."
(He nods)
Cid
"No. I guess if I had to choose, I'd rather put my money on the
power of science."
"Humans who used to only roam around on the ground are able to
fly now!"
"And finally, we're about to go into outer space."
"Science is a "Power" created and developed by humans. And
science just might be what saves this planet."
(He raises a fist.)
Cid
"I was able to earn my living thanks to science. So to me,
there's nothing greater!"
(He lowers it.)
Cid
"Now quit your worrying 'bout what Shinra's gonna do!"
"I don't want to regret not having done something later."
(Cloud reaches toward him.)
Cloud
"But, Cid......"
(Cid angrily pushes him away.)
Cid
"Shut the hell up!! I don't wanna hear it!!"
Cid
"What's it?"
Cloud
"We don't know about it."
"What did Aerith know?"
"Why did she face Sephiroth without running away?"
Red XIII
"I see... She returned there once again, correct?"
Bugenhagen
"Hmmm. Perhaps I'll have you take me there."
Red XIII
"You're going too?"
Bugenhagen
"What's so surprising about that...?"
"Even I want to get out from time to time and see the outside
world. I wonder what did it? I haven't felt like this in ages."
(Red XIII turns to him)
Red XIII
"It must be the planet. The planet is calling you!"
Cid
"Yeah, hoo boy, the planet calling... right."
(Cid walks out. Bugenhagen bounces happily)
Bugenhagen
"Ho Ho Hoooo. Then let's go."
(They all leave except Cloud and Bugenhagen.)
Cloud
"Oh yeah, Bugenhagen. I have one more thing I want to ask you."
"We're carrying around Huge Materia. This is pretty delicate
stuff and we would like to keep it in a safe place..."
Cloud
"So this note points to where the key is?"
(Bugenhagen floats higher.)
Bugenhagen
"Probably..."
"Use these words as clues and go find the key."
"I'll continue to figure out the Ancient's writing."
(Cloud turns and looks up at him)
Cloud
"A place (Even sunlight won't reach) is where the (key) is,
right?"
(Bugenhagen turns)
Bugenhagen
"When you find the key, or when you can't go any further, come
back here."
"Maybe I'll understand more from the writing and get some new
information for you."
(Cloud nods. He sets off in search of the key.)
Cait Sith
"Forget about that......... the CANNON! We've got to get to
Midgar! That's the first thing!!"
Cloud
"Must stop Hojo... first."
(The scene fades back to the Shinra board room. Reeve, Heidegger, and
Scarlet stand at the end of the long table. Reeve turns to Heidegger.)
Cloud
"None of that matters... just stop this nonsense!"
Hojo
"...nonsense?"
"Oh, this?"
(He finally turns to look at Cloud.)
Hojo
"Ha, ha, ha..."
"Sephiroth seems to be counting on the energy."
"So I'm going to lend him a hand."
Cloud
"Why!? Why do that!?"
Hojo
"Quit asking me why, you moron."
(He walks up to look Cloud in the eye.)
Hojo
"Hmm... actually, you might be cut out to be a scientist."
(He turns back to the panel.)
Hojo
"Energy level is at...... 83%. It's taking too long."
(He resumes his button-pressing.)
Hojo
"My son is in need of power and help. ...That's the only reason."
Cloud
"...your son?"
Hojo
"Ha, ha, ha... Although he doesn't know."
(He begins to laugh so hard he has to stop working.)
Hojo
"Ha, ha, ha... HA, HA, HA...!!"
"What will Sephiroth think when he finds out that I'm his
father?"
"Always looking down on me like that."
"HA, HA, HA...!!"
Cloud
"Sephiroth is your son!?"
(Hojo resumes his work once more.)
Hojo
"Ha, ha, ha..."
"I offered the woman with my child to Professor Gast's Jenova
Project."
"When Sephiroth was still in the womb, we took the cells of
Jenova..."
"HA, HA, HA!!"
Cloud
"I can't believe you're the one who did this..."
"The illusionary crime against Sephiroth..."
(A pause. She looks up and straightens her hair with one hand.)
Tifa
"But... I'm sure someday... they'll come back, don't you think?"
(He crosses his arms)
Cloud
"Hmm... I wonder...?"
"Everyone has an irreplaceable something they're holding on
to..."
"But this time, our opponent..."
(A long pause. The sound of the wind fades. Tifa nods)
Tifa
"Hmm... But that's all right, even if no one comes back."
"As long as I'm with you... As long as you're by my side... I
won't give up even if I'm scared."
(He uncrosses his arms and looks at Tifa.)
Cloud
"...... Tifa......"
(She moves her arms behind her.)
Tifa
"No matter how close we are... We were far apart... before this."
"But when we were in the Lifestream surrounded by all those
screams of anguish, I thought I heard your voice..."
(She closes her eyes, crying softly. Her arms fall to her sides and she
bows her head.)
Tifa
"...sniff... you probably don't remember this..."
"But deep in my heart I heard you calling my name... Or at least
I thought I did..."
(Cloud looks away and puts a hand to his face)
Cloud
"Yeah... At that time I heard you calling me."
"You were calling me back in from the stream of consciousness in
the Lifestream."
(He lowers his hand. He nods)
Cloud
"After all, I promised. That if anything were to ever happen to
you, I would come to help."
(Tifa opens her eyes and looks up.)
Tifa
"Cloud...? Do you think the stars can hear us?"
(She gazes off to one side)
Tifa
"Do you think they see how hard we're fighting for them?"
(Cloud looks up at the sky.)
Cloud
"I dunno... But..."
"Whether they are or not, we still have to do what we can. And
believe in ourselves..."
"Someday we'll find the answer. Right, Tifa?"
"That's what I learned from you when I was in the Lifestream."
(She nods)
Tifa
"Yeah...... that's right..."
(Cloud stares off into the distance. He turns away from her slightly and
lowers his head.)
Cloud
"Hey, Tifa...... I...... There are a lot of things I wanted to
talk to you about."
(He shakes his head slowly.)
Cloud
"But now that we're together like this, I don't know what I
really wanted to say..."
"I guess nothing's changed at all... Kind of makes you want to
laugh..."
(Tifa shakes her head)
Tifa
"Cloud... Words aren't the only thing that tell people what
you're thinking..."
(Cloud looks at her. She continues to stare past the player, into space.
She straightens her hair again with one hand.)
Cloud
"............"
(She closes her eyes. The camera pans up, past her, to the sky, as the
scene fades to black.)
Cloud
"All right, everyone, let's mosey."
Cid
"Damn! Again!"
"Stop sayin' it like a wimp!"
"Can't you say 'Move out!' or somethin'?"
(Cloud rubs the back of his head, then vehemently gestures with his fist.)
Cloud
"Move out!!"
(The sound of roaring monsters comes from above.)
Barret
"What?"
(The party looks skyward)
Red XIII
"Look at the number..."
(They assume fighting stances.)
Cid
"%#@^! They're comin' out in force!"
Barret
"Cloud! You go first!"
(Cloud shakes his head quickly)
Cloud
"I'm fighting here too."
Cloud
"...there..."
"It's...... there..."
Tifa
"Cloud...?"
(Again.)
Cloud
"...Holy...... Holy... is there......"
"The Holy is shining...... Aerith's prayer is shining......!"
Tifa
"Holy...... Aerith......"
(Again.)
Cloud
"It's not over yet...... This isn't the
end yet!!"
Cloud
"All right, everyone."
"It's no use thinking about it."
"We'll leave all our worries here."
(He raises one fist.)
Cloud
"Let's go home proud."
(He lowers it. The others all rise wearily and begin to trudge back to the
exit of the crater. Cloud and Tifa walk together for a few steps when the
screen flashes white. Cloud stops in his tracks. Tifa turns.)
Tifa
"What happened?"
(He lowers his head.)
Cloud
"......I feel it..."
Tifa
"What......"
(The screen goes white, longer this time, with the sound of rushing wind.
Cloud shakes his head.)
Cloud
"He is still...... here."
(Again. Cloud falls to the ground, clutching his head, and we see Cloud's
double, white and ghostlike, fall with him.)
Cloud
"Still......"
(The screen goes white.)
Tifa
"Cloud!?"
(It fades. Cloud is in tremors, still tightly clutching his head.)
Cloud
"He's... laughing..."
(Cloud's double removes from his body and spins off into the distance. The
screen goes white once more.)
Tifa
"Cloud!"
(The scene fades to black.)
