Rufus Shinra had a lot of potential, but Advent Children sealed his fate as just another narcissist. All that's left is to watch the spectacle of getting his ego bruised while he throws money at his problems. Entertaining enough for a side character.
I love how fitting Rufus’ personality and behavior is to his characters backstory. He’s a spoiled arrogant rich kid who’s used to getting his way, but has a competitive edge to him because he’s not used to losing. He very obviously received some of the best training available growing up due to his fathers resources, but because of his sheltered and padded upbringing he’s inexperienced in real battle which shows. So he goes and puts some effort in the time between his fight with cloud in remake and rebirth, improving his skills and getting R&D to make him a new toy. But when he comes up short again, he behaves like a spoiled brat and refuses to accept defeat just leaving and calling it a farce after clearly considering it otherwise 😂 bratty even as an adult.
He also just got out of like 4 years of House arrest in Turks HQ. Rufus was going stir crazy in there Edit: Its also a farce because Cloud was never a SOLDIER and Rufus knows it
@@0axis771 That is true. Though my post really meant that their banter is more brotherly and they never seemed to really hate each other and only really fight if theyre in each others way But if we're if we’re talking about Rufus half brother Lazard he was born to a poor woman in the slums and rose up in Shinra and he’s the one who promoted Zack to first class, he’s also resentful that he had to grow up in poverty in the slums while being the presidents illegitimate son. Who knows if President Shinra slept around with poor woman he could have had a child with Clouds mother and Lazard knowing this could have assigned Cloud to Zacks unit to keep them close since he would have a soft spot for another poor illegimitate child of the President.
Rufus has the coldest voice lines he's such a cocky b**ch i love him sm and im so glad y'all finally realize he's underated af. No one cared about him until rebirth..
I agree but that’s partly because he had more presence in Rebirth throughout the entire campaign. I’ve debated with a few I said he had a better screen presence than Sephiroth
Rufus sucks lol just a random introduction, cloud should've finished it at the building. FF always lets their villains stay alive cuz the main characters are soft anime characters it's tiring.
I know Rufus is a spoiled rich boy and absolutely part of the problem in this universe, but dang, he's just so cool. He has no right to be as attractive as he is. I guess it's because while he acts cocky, it's not like he can't back it up. He's genuinely a badass and a pretty effective leader. Wonder if they'll make it three for three and have us fight him again in part 3. Imo he was an absolute nightmare in both of the latest games my first time playing lol.
If I was to guess, Rufus and the Turks while not enhanced probably use a lot of the purple independent materia that boosts their stats, and then fight physically and special weapons
@@MK-fm3lnI believe in the ultimania it was stated that the Turks are highly trained and with their Suits acting as power suits. Imagine if Cloud and his gang had the Turks suit
Rufus at Gold Saucer is super hillarious. Imagine watching WWE and suddenly the REAL Joe Biden enters the Ring
Rufus is incredibly underrated as a character
Underrated by idiots but well rated by people who have played all the ff7 games,After Cloud and Sephiroth its Rufus Shinra

@rogercameron6912 Hopefully the new timeline replaces AC.
I agree!;)
And hot

Rufus: I didn’t want to play this stupid game anyway!
Sephiroth: Damn it only I'm suposed to have borderline flirty evil gay interactions with Cloud!
"And yet, here. you. are." was such a cold line from Rufus
Calling Cloud a "disobedient dog" is funny to me.
Cloud does act like a dog or "puppy" a few times throughout Rebirth lol.
A lot of gall from a guy who has lost twice against Cloud despite having his dumb dog to back him up.
@@ADAPTChance*CRISIS CORE FLASHBACKS*
Giving boss fight a whole new meaning
EX-BOSS fight. he quit.
Damn I love Rufus and his interaction with Cloud much ♡
Watching all these scenes together they almost seem like brothers
That’s the best story premise I’ve heard
Rufus had a brother. A half-brother named Lazard.

They could possibly be )

@@Dirtysanchez27 Who hurt you today help💀
All I ever did since OG Final Fantasy and Crisis Core was read Rufus Shinra fanfiction. Him and The Turks are my favorite Final Fantasy Characters
These two love being sarcastic to each other
Their dynamic is one of my favorites in the VII remake saga. Their little rivalry is so cool to me.
Are Cloud and Rufus trash talking or flirting? Yes
Add Rufus to the ever growing list
Cloud: Got my number?
Rufus: Not at all
Hojo: Well that makes two of us.
This boss is a cutthroat! Corporate downsizing with a vengeance 😁
This is it guys, Clufus is my ship. I have stowed the anchor and going out to sea, no way am i getting off this ship ❤❤
Rufus wants him so bad
So bad he inserted himself into a boss fight that did not exist originally haha
Everyone is crushing hard on Cloud hard in both Remake and Rebirth.
Brotherly feud vibes and I'm here for it! They can't stop teasing each other 😂

"It's corporate downsizing with a vengeance!" always makes me laugh. It's not even _that_ funny
The delivery sells it
Things will get interesting soon enough between these 2 when Glenn's past will be revealed.
I wonder if there will be a Rufus and Turks DLC. I would like to play them.
Play Before Crisis it's a mobile Game where you play as a Turk.
If there's no Clerith i would root for Clufus
my top ship is either clerith, clack or sefikura. but this video brought revelation and a feeling like a fresh morning dew for me. i think im into it
@@asterisk4079 thank you for sharing your ship, who's sefikura? I know right Rufus and Cloud really have chemistry my hearteu ♥️
@@AiLoveHue sefikura is a japanese ship name version for sephiroth and cloud! cloud is pronounced kuraudo and sephiroth is.. sefirosu. so, sefi-kura
You're fucking cringe.
@@asterisk4079you're fucking cringe.
Rufus Shinra?. Do I feel sorry for you..
If there's was anyone power i could use, Rufus, cloud, or Vincent so far
If I was to guess, Rufus and the Turks while not enhanced probably use a lot of the purple independent materia that boosts their stats, and then fight physically and special weapons
@@MK-fm3lnI believe in the ultimania it was stated that the Turks are highly trained and with their Suits acting as power suits. Imagine if Cloud and his gang had the Turks suit
@@carlosmireles6877I bet rude has 4 strength up materias somewhere in his suit.
Rufus 🤤
wdym they are not intensively flirting with each other
This is not Final Fantasy VII.
#NotMyFF7
Love these two!
