>why did they change shit
I'm sure you don't know this but artists typically don't like to copy+paste other peoples/their own old work. Copying Cloud 1:1 from his old original drawing just is not interesting for most creatives who are in charge of adapting something new and actually selling it.
Nomura has changed the details and shape of Cloud's hair countless times already himself. Artists want to craft their own new unique works as much as they possibly can. They are defined by THEIR work, after all. A Final Fantasy fan, modifying Cloud's hair by hand to be exactly the same shape as his original portrait can only happen because a fan is doing it for free. It just isn't that interesting conceptually to create that for an artist who actually gets paid to be a real artist. They want to make Cloud on their own.
Notice how I never said that it doesn't look better though. It definitely does. His old hair shape is straight up better than the new, Advent Children style one.
