When Zack appears during the fight with Sephiroth Cloud didn't ask if it was him. He just said his name out of surprise, maybe even relief. But he wasn't asking, "Yo Zack is that you?" lol
Also the times and instances of Aerith's appearances is a topic that I have discussed at long length with other peeps before. You've hit the tip of the iceberg with that observation, Drake. Want me to explain my theories on the rest?
Well I'm going to whether you want me to or not.
1.) There is a hint of her in the church after Cloud and Tifa both pass out. Only a hint for now, mind you. She's still being blocked by Sephy. But she can come out a little bit because it's the church, which has a tie to the Lifestream and is also her own little sacred space.
2.) She appears near the forgotten city. Where she died, yes, but also sacred ground for the Cetra. This was the only place in which one could go to summon Holy. It would be safe to assume that this place holds much power as well as a deep connection with the Lifestream. Creepy cell phone scene is included in this.
3.) She appears inside Bahamut's energy ball. Summon monsters are called forth by materia using the memories and energy of the Lifestream. Yet again a connection that we've seen once before, and Aerith appears in within it? Hmm...interesting.
4.) She speaks to Cloud after Kadaj messes up her church when the water breaks out. Lifestream mixed with water and Aerith's next appearance? I do say...
5.) The purifying rain has been released, but is still blocked from falling by Sephiroth's will. Aerith is seen praying for Cloud's victory, but there isn't really much she can do here it seems.
6.) Sephiroth is defeated, and the rain now falls freely. Aerith comes for Kadaj, and even makes her presence known to Tifa on the airship. Aerith's presence is now able to go wherever the rain falls.
7.) Aerith heals Clouds wounds, but this time is in some weird life/death limbo. Now said to be Cloud's promised land in the Ultimanias. More Lifestream? I think so.
8.) I'm assuming that since her water is still everywhere and it's so soon this is how Aerith was able to make the phones ring. But maybe she made the call from the church? lol
9.) Last appearance in the church, which has been covered before. We see her going off for good this time to presumably join with the Lifestream finally.
Either way I think that's it. The phone part is a new addition to my theories and I haven't given much thought to Zack yet. I came up with this a while ago now. lol
I would assume, though, that due to his absorption of parts of his memories and personality/mannerisms that Cloud and Zack may have an indestructible connection. This could, however, also be due to the water being released in the church. The effects are still being held back by Sephiroth, but perhaps Zack wasn't. Maybe only Aerith with her connection to the planet was held back.
And those are my theories.
Just theories mind you.
But yeah it's interesting how all of Aerith's appearances seem to be only when there is Lifestream nearby.
Cloud knew Zack in a more personal level - and not only because the two were good friends, but because the only time that Aerith and Cloud actually have a 'meeting,' where the real Cloud wasn't screwed up is in AC/ACC, three years later. Also, it isn't exactly fair when Aerith has an advantage, considering that she's a Cetra. Even so, in ACC we see Zack and Cloud back-to-back, debunking any claims that only Aerith has the ability to meet with Cloud because their hearts/minds/souls are united. I'd like to think that both of them are as equally as important to Cloud.Really? I always thought Aerith got more attention because of the meetings and such, but that's just me. Maybe I should make a comparison chart seeing the difference, any takers? :3
There'd be a whole lot less of Aerith if you directed those love parameter scenes towards Tifa. The game doesn't necessarily count anyways. It's after he regains his true self and before he was inflicted by Jenova cells that count. Technically, Cloud (the real him) spends more time with Zack (Crisis Core), compared to meeting Aerith three years after FFVII.Okay, I'll go to it then. I think it is sorta equal, but idk I felt there was more Aerith, but maybe that's just me being a biased Aerith fan. XD
Why does at least one post every day in this thread make me think of something dirty to say in response?
long post is long.
Damn it to hell.
Ya ya,
Cloud (blue) + Aerith (red) = purple! Who doesn't like purple! .
Now who is it, exactly, that you are talking to every day in this thread?
no u
Read my post or gtfo.
When Aerith appears to Cloud, She speaks to him, Cloud is shocked but, judging by his eyes before she spoke he already knew who was there.
When Zack appears to Cloud, Zack speaks, Cloud is shocked and has to ask if it's Zack before he responds.
7.) Aerith heals Clouds wounds, but this time is in some weird life/death limbo. Now said to be Cloud's promised land in the Ultimanias. More Lifestream? I think so.
Wait, what? The weird white place Cloud keeps running off to is said to be Cloud's Promised Land? I must've missed that - where exactly does it say that?
And if Clerith's purple, would this mean that SOLDIER 2nds ship Clerith? I mean, they're all wearing purple... Even Zack was wearing purple before he met Aerith... Zack dressed Cloud in purple SOLDIER clothes which means he forced Clerith on him.Ya ya,
Cloud (blue) + Aerith (red) = purple! Who doesn't like purple! .
The intonation of the said line sounded more or less like recognition, really. Not so much of a surprise, and definitely not a question. It was a gentle sort of call, can almost be described as endearingI don't think Cloud saying Zack's name is asking if it's him. The subtitles just put it as 'Zack...', it's just him saying his name.
Oh, mei-bito, I adore you. You always make me smile with your Clack reasoning and logic.

Which offsets my recoiling in horror.
Like I said i'm gonna work out some chart or something that compares Z/A's attention from Cloud starting where he was his actual self again.A said:I'd like to think that both of them are as equally as important to Cloud.
Hey you we are talking about friendship, so should I cancel out Zack scenes everytime he talks to Vincent?A said:There'd be a whole lot less of Aerith if you directed those love parameter scenes towards Tifa.
Considering he gets the "you're so getting some later" look from Tifa, and Aerith does her whole, "alright I'm going now, come on Zack"... I think we know which one is more likely.Tifa on the bar, or Aerith in the flowerfield? After all those heroics he's done in AC/C, there's no way Cloud isn't getting any after the credits.
KTR and Drake are the closest to Clerith that we have right now. x'D
CLERITH! Purple, Advent Children = AC, isn't it obvious by now!!?!?!?!?!?!
I've got a million of these self-made captions, I'm just waiting for excuses to use them. ;p
no u
The white space isn't his Promised Land. Where he wakes up--with his friends and family and hawt girlfriend--is. No matter how much illogical twisting is put on that quote, the pool of water, the church, the floaty white-space, is NOT it.
Well dammit I made this argument but people on this forum were all, "No it's the white space STFU!"
I'm confused...
