You need to bump that number by about a hundred years.
Did they include Gongaga in Crisis Core? I don't remember and I can't replay it 'cause my portable's busted.

What a trout son to be in that small town and avoid his folks (I know the town was bigger before it went kaboom but no idea how big)
Cloud seemed to have been found by Tifa very shortly after the death of Zack, which was several years before FFVII. He made it to Midgar, though he was still very out of it from the trauma of the events of Nibelheim, and Tifa nursed him back. That is the impression the game gives.
He seems to have spent a couple years hanging around Midgar, but didn't actually join up with Avalanche until the reactor mission, which is why Barret didn't know him yet.
Likely he was picking up Zack's job of being a jack-of-all-trades, helping out people with odd jobs around the slums.
Which also means that, had Aeris mentioned Zack, it would have been little different than Zack's parents mentioning him. His memory had already solidly blocked that out.
If the game does it actually say when Zack died? From the timeline that the game gives it would seem that Cloud and Zack spent quite a bit of time (years) as Hojo's research subjects.
So from Cloud's point of view there wasn't much of anything between the events of Nibelheim and the beginning of the game.
At least that is the way that I read it.
This is all from memory, but:
Cloud's more or less a teenager during the Nibelheim incident, right? 17, unless I'm mistaken. And all the media for the game (instruction booklets, etc) say that he is currently 21.
So, yeah, either he spent a good, long time in Hojo's lab, wandered around Midgar for a few years, or a mix of both.
Basically, yeah. When he tells the party the story about Sephiroth, he says he was 16, and that it was five years ago. And then he doesn't remember anything until the point Tifa found him, I think.
They spend a couple years in the tubes with Hojo as I recall. I guess I'll have to look into it when I get that far.
Killin' rats n' trout.
Oh great, now we know what the next spin off is going to be.

He will be so happy when he moves up to fixing windows for little old ladies.
