[Bloodline666]

When you look at all the hardships Cloud had to go through, and how he overcame them (not the least of which was a life-threatening disease), and how Zack never had to go through any of them, it makes you wonder whether or not Zack would've choked under pressure had he been the one going through those same hardships Cloud went through.

Which is why I say Cloud's the better hero. Zack had it pretty easy.

I say Cloud, he is the Underdog, and I always like the underdog.

[thegirth]

absolutely Zack

Cloud's a little more complex, Zack was made a little giddy in crisis core, i'm going with cloud.

[Wolf Kanno]

Though Cloud overcomes more issues, I feel many of them are his own personal problems whereas Zack gets dumped on. Zack, to me, is just a more likable character than Cloud and besides, I always prefer tragic heroes over regualar ones.

Though Cloud has the better game...

Araciel cried aloud with mirth and merriment

Indiana Jones.

This is obviously the correct option.

[daggertrepe]

Cloud. Of course.

[Ouch!]

Cloud spent a majority of FFVII thinking he was Zack. He clearly idolized the guy.
