Perhaps not his idenity, but Cloud did seem to pick up some of Zack's personality traits, or at least Aeris seems to suggest this. If you get the date with Aeris, she will say "I want to meet you, Cloud. The real you." I'm fairly certain I misquoted that, but it was nearly the same. Anyway, this seems to suggest that Aeris had realized at this point that Cloud's similarity to Zack was too much of a coincidence, and had most likely realized that Cloud and Zack were somehow connected. Cloud's similarity to Zack was what attracted Aeris to Cloud, but not Cloud to Aeris. However, if you think about it, besides there experience in Midgar, their search for the black Materia, and (possibly) the Golden Saucer date, they didn't have as much of a connection as people think. I mean, unless you have Aeris in your party through the entire first disk, they have almsot no scenes involving each other. So why do people consider them such a close couple? Because he grieved at her (SPOILER)death?So what? If Tifa had died, he would grieve just as much. Even if someone like Barret or Cid had died he would have grieved at least a little, though probably not to the same extent, and they probably would have gone down fighting. Now, Cloud and Tifa had many scenes suggesting there relationship, most of which took place after Disk 1. So really, they didn't have much of a relationship. Cloud grief was caused by guilty that he couldn't save her, not by the lose of his love.Originally Posted by Sephiroth1999AD
