Jessie: You do know how to use it, right?
Cloud: You do know what I was, right?

Jessie was just about to teach Cloud an alternate way to use Materia, one popular in doujins

Cloud thinks he's emo, but he only adopted the emo... Squall was born in it.

Most of that is bad localization. He was a bit more nuanced in Japanese: https://legendsoflocalization.com/squalls-whatever-line-in-japanese-final-fantasy-viii/
damn he was actually insufferable rather than apathetic
I think that whatever suits his character better. Like extreme phlegmatism feels right to his character.

lowkey what is the deal with men in JRPGs openly denying sexual advances
Jrpgs are for Grandma raised kids at age 10 who grow to respect women, are interested in sex but feel it's not yet for them and are ashamed of doing bad things.
You might be joking, but my cousin is a grandma raised kid who now respects women, is interested in sex but feels it's not yet for him and is ashamed of doing bad things... and his favorite game is Final Fantasy 7.

JRPGs are promoters of virtues and values worth preserving for the benefit of the sensible ascetic minds of worthy men, who will form the future leaders that will carry us to a new renaissance. Basically, "No Way Fag" is the pathway to collective salvation.

It's apart of their culture or something. Their anime are like this as well. Coincidentally Japan has the highest rate of virgins and the lowest birth rate. It's almost like teaching kids from a young age to be afraid of sex, even if it's not serious and used for comic effect, still has a very real effect on the population. I suspect their women also aren't anywhere near as aggressive either.

It wasn't always so. Back in the 1980s-90s anime characters were often properly masculine and interested in women rather than inhuman permavirgins. Ranma 1/2 and Yu Yu Hakusho being good examples. It's part of why anime was always translated into Spanish/Portuguese and broadcast in South America.

With all this talk of defying fate and changing destiny it's obvious they're getting us ready for the long awaited return of Legacy of Kain.

Best possible universe: 'defying fate' is a setup to make players think they can save Aeris only to pull the rug out and kill her anyways.
