11 Cloud is a legacy Vision in Final Fantasy Resonance, originally from FINAL FANTASY VII. His official bio for this game identifies him as a former SOLDIER 1st Class. He wields lightning- and water-element attacks and learns multiple abilities focused on dealing critical damage.

66 Critical damage is Cloud's specialty among the named Visions: his ability list centers on landing critical hits rather than on defense or support. His lightning and water attacks also feed the stagger game, since every hit shaves an enemy's Stagger Gauge and weakness hits shave it faster; see Stagger System.

88 His signature Cross-slash survived the rebuild. The producer used Cloud as the system's working example: equip his Vision to any party member and that member can use Cross-slash. Everything else in his kit was designed from zero for this game, so his elements and abilities are specific to Resonance rather than imports from FINAL FANTASY VII. Abilities learned from his Vision stay equippable while other Visions are active, within the cost limit covered at Abilities and Mastery.

2626 Each Vision powers a unique Resonance attack, unleashed at the end of the Extra Phase after a sweeping stagger, with one use per sweeping stagger and a cinematic unique to the Vision; legacy heroes' sequences render in full 3D. Cloud's Resonance appears in Japanese preview coverage under the name Climhazzard, playing out as a rapid series of slashes that cuts between 3D footage and pixel art; as of 23 October 2026 no official English name for it appears in Square Enix's English-language text. For the full roster, see List of Visions.
