FFVII follows his development as an individual from someone struggling to deal with his past and his emotions to someone who is able to be confident in himself, to understand himself and to fight for what is right. Initially he fights to keep himself near a link he has to his past (Tifa) and out of revenge (Sephiroth) but eventually he grows and takes those and is willing to fight to save the planet and to save humanity. It's quite an amazing development really. I think that's one of the real qualities of hero, not only someone that fights for what is right, but someone who knows why they are fighting and is able to protect everyone who needs protecting.
