Well, that's a great timing, i suppose. I'm relieved nontheless, though.

Anyway, aside of the identity issues Cloud and Luke have, both were anti-heroic in the classic sense (as in, genuinely heroic but deeply flawed) but grew to become genuine heroes by the end of their adventures after making peace with what they are (being essentially successful copies) and standing up to the machinations of their former idols. Both were also unusualy arrogant, haughty and hard to get along with at first, but this behavior was rooted in a deep seated insecurity that crippled both of them. Aside of the story similarities, both are also generally versatile fighters thanks to their status as clones, having a natural affinity towards Materia and Phonic Hymns and being accomplished swordsmen (which is fitting, considering they're the hero of their stories).
