Once the Lifestream purged that psychosis, Cloud was back to his good ol' emo till your eyes bleed self. Nah, he was a dumbass trying to be cool even before that. In fact, if it wasn't for that we wouldn't have had a plot. He tried to look cool to get the girl. Stuff happens, he gets his mind fucked up by the trauma.

And he still wasn't really emo after dealing with it. He got emo in the following material, like that movie whose name I never remember, and in Dissidia (though there it is justified).

@Phantom: I hope you realize that Cloud being more narrow than Sage doesn't really change anything.
