No. Considering the number of people that bemoan him he is definitely underrated at this stage.

the original interpretation of cloud was pretty fun and while there was some failings here and there in the more convoluted parts of the game, I really liked the idea of a guy acting edgy and cool slowly accepting the fact that he's just a heroic goofball and has dispensed with all the edgy emo act by the end of the game.

Every subsequent portrayal of Cloud has him acting even more mopey and depressed than he does at the beginning of FF7 at his worst, which is really overrated because people love generic emo anime guys but has also really fucked up the character. I have talked to multiple people that think that that was all Cloud ever was and I honestly can't blame them at this point.

Yeah original FF7 Cloud was great, but every other iterations of him sucked. They turned him into a mopey emo pretty boy and now that's all most people know him for.

Most of the main characters are the worst characters in their respective games. Or at least among the characters that have major roles in that game. Of the characters around the time Cloud's game got released he is easily the best. Cloud > Zidane > Tidus > Squall

I've not watched Advent Children or anything, but I found him to be really enjoyable in both the original and the remake. Like others have said, my impression from nerd pop culture and Kingdom Hearts made me think he was this edgy, brooding sad sack.

In actuality, he's a big fucking dork who's trying really hard to look edgy and brooding.

This.

Though I think the premise of the topic is flawed. I don't think many would say that ffvii's success was because of Cloud's character.

They captured him perfectly in the remake. A dork trying to act tough, with cracks in his mask as the story moves along.
