While we're on the subject though, has anyone come up decent proof as to who's voice Cloud can hear in his head in the first few hours of the game? It seems likely to be Sephiroth, but it seems equally feasible that it was his "child-self" as manifested when he's handing over the Black Materia at the temple then again in the lifestream in Mideel. Or perhaps it was no voice in particular and he was just schizophrenic.
I always assumed that he was experiencing flashbacks, being the the reactor room in Midgar triggered memories of being in the reactor in Nibelheim.
