Crisis Core and all the other compilation stuff is retcon as far as I'm concerned.
Sort of? Cloud copies and mimics his body language, but his carefree and bored, restless child-like persona, he doesn't. And we sort of do, with the OG flashback of Zack's death and Cloud and Zack on the truck and Zack speaking about starting a business with Cloud. Unless that is what you meant ??

I think from memory Sephiroth/ Jenova says to Cloud that Jenova can copy body movement and body language. But I might be wrong here.

Yeah, that's why Crisis Core drives me up the wall. All the rectconing just so players can "get the sad feels " when Zack goes. That and Genesis.
