See, now there's something that makes sense! The rest of you lot are crazy. Cloud's hair totally negates any arguments that his head could be in a Shinra soldier's helmet.

...This deals with Cloud being a Shinra soldier how? He could have just been chilling in his house 'til the whole massacre occured and abducted when Shinra began cleaning up Sephiroth's mess.

This temple materia plot seems worth delving into! The Japanese have a thing for objects with two forms, like variable fighters, power rangers, and jyuunishi. Having a materia that can be transformed into a temple isn't that strange when you think about it. I believe they mention it in the game, but it's quite an effective security measure. Unless you send in a lackey who can figure out the puzzle of the Temple and beat all the guardians, you cannot really get to it. But why even have it reversable? Because it's materia; it is made to be used. If it weren't for usage, it would have not formed as materia in the first place. It just came with a really nifty safety feature.
