Warning: SPOILERS!
Cloud is a confusing character to many gamers (especially those who haven't played it 10 times through). Thats why im here to help those in need.
The first hint that Cloud isn't fully Cloud is when he tells Aeris that he was a SOLDIER 1st class. Later in Kalm when Cloud confronts Sephiroth you know theres no way in hell he can win. On disc 2 you find out that Cloud was never in SOLDIER. In Kalm Cloud said he was in the picture with Tifa and Sephiroth but in the Crater, Sephiroth shows Cloud that Zack was in the picture. Mistaken identity? I think not. In the secret cinema when you find out that Cloud was one of the MPs in Nibelheim 5 years ago and Zack was injured by Sephiroth, Zack gave Cloud the Buster Sword to confront Sephiroth with. Zack dies and Cloud somehow lives on, but he has his memories confused with Zack's. Why? When you find out the truth in Mideel, you see Cloud in the Shinra Mansion basement with Hojo monitoring him, Cloud is in a Mako tank, hence the Mako eyes even though he never in SOLDIER. So to finish this off, my theory about Cloud is that after the confrontation in Nibelheim, Clouds body remained well enough to live, but parts of his mind were broken, so Hojo replaced those parts that were broken with parts of Zack's mind, which means that Zack is a much more important character than appearances he makes in the game.
Try reading that without taking a breath lol
