If a sprite this small has been taking you a few years, I think it's time to let go. It's an aesthetically pleasing sprite, and it fits well in style - but that's all you can really say about it!
I would consider thinning out some of the details a little, though. Some of the frames are particularly cluttered in regards to translation of Cloud's design.
Part of the success of the original style is how well they simplified designs and translated them to such small sprites.
Again though, I'd consider only putting a little more work into it, where you can say "I think this is 'finished' enough for me" and work on something else. Start new with what you've learned, instead of trying to apply new ideas to an old one.
