He thought he was Zack because of his Jenova celled induced state.

[Roserashi]

None of them. Both suck IMO. Cid Highwind FTFW!

Im really undecided which i know is a bit of a cop out,
I really like cloud because of his attictude, the struggles hes had to over come but as somebody else has already said Zack is much more likeable. He has a better personality than Cloud.
I dunno, i love them both lol!

oh im back by the way, i fly in and out every now and again! Hi

However since he's not an option, I think Cloud. FFVII follows his development as an individual from someone struggling to deal with his past and his emotions to someone who is able to be confident in himself, to understand himself and to fight for what is right. Initially he fights to keep himself near a link he has to his past (Tifa) and out of revenge (Sephiroth) but eventually he grows and takes those and is willing to fight to save the planet and to save humanity. It's quite an amazing development really. I think that's one of the real qualities of hero, not only someone that fights for what is right, but someone who knows why they are fighting and is able to protect everyone who needs protecting.

Cloud all the way, Zack is slightly annoying tbh.

I'm going to go with Cloud, like someone else said him overcoming all the crap he did. Most memorable heroes arent perfect, many times they have a flaw that they must either overcome and be lost because of. Clouds flaw was his past, and because he was able to overcome it so well, and not only remain sane, but sane enough to STILL go and save the world... makes him a better hero than Zack

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

Not really true. Clouds fragile state after the death of Zack really f'd up his mind. In a desperate attempt to stay sane, clouds brain incorporated memories of Zack into his own being. Not that he idolized him, but simply he was the closest person to Cloud when Cloud needed something to grab onto.. Had it been someone else, say Random_Soldier_02, Cloud probably would have incorporated parts of that guys memories/emotions into his own too. Its simply a defense mechanism of the brain- in an attempt to block out a painful and shameful past

I voted for Zack.

I think it's just because I like his attitude more, and he looks cooler to me.

[Roogle]

I think that Zack Fair fits the role of a hero better than Cloud Strife; however, I think that Cloud Strife ends up being a better hero for the player than Zack Fair because of his longevity.

I voted for Cloud Strife.
