Nomura has stated that Cloud's left arm was inspired by Vincent Valentine, noting that, in this game, the character was supposed to illustrate a " demon-like " appearance due to his ties to the " dark side.

Conceptualized by Sakaguchi as one of only three playable characters in early planning stages for the game, Cloud's character saw greater input by Nomura than with other characters in previous Final Fantasy projects, when he was called upon to supervise Cloud's personality traits.

Nomura has said the original parameters of Cloud's character design called for slicked-back, black hair with no spikes.

However, to make Cloud stand out more and emphasize his role in the game as the lead protagonist, Nomura altered Cloud's design to give him spiky, bright, blonde hair.

Cloud's weapon, the Buster Sword, was originally smaller than its final form, but its height increased as Nomura redesigned Cloud.

Nomura wanted Cloud's and Vincent's voices to contrast with each other because the characters were similar in other ways.

For the game, Nomura redesigned Vincent's gun in the same way that Cloud's Buster Sword was redesigned for Advent Children, so as to demonstrate that Vincent is the protagonist of the game.

However, to give Cloud a unique look that would emphasize his role as the game's protagonist, Nomura changed the design to feature Cloud's shock of spiky, bright blond hair.
