      If I recall correctly, FFT takes place in the distant future from FF12. About 2000 years if I recall. FF12 is actually a distant prequel in which several of the Espers that the heros get are actually the same as the Lucavi (such as Hashamal). Ironic that it's the characters in FF12 unseal the Lucavi that were sealed by the Occuria. There was also mention about Ajora in FF12 if I recall correctly. And another fun fact is that in FFT, there was mention about the Moogle, which is extinct in FFT's time. I can only presume the other creatures became extinct as well or at the very least exiled since we don't see them.

That's why he hid from Tifa when he was at Nibelheim with Zack and Seph because he was embarrassed for never making it in SOLDIER. Zack also mentioned it in ACC during his fight with Kadaj/Seph. People seem to mix it up but.. SOLDIER and Infantryman are not the same.. That's what makes Cloud so cool and the plot twist so interesting bc a mere grunt defeated the legendary 1st class SOLDIER Sephiroth.

      な6IXLXRD what he’s saying is, they’re not evil and busting up towns is precisely what they need to do. Humanity are the ones responsible for the planets summoning of the weapons. So naturally the weapons will set out to destroy humanity, to save the planet from them. That doesn’t make them evil. In this scenario, it’s the people draining the life from the planet who are evil.

      Exactly. And while the experimenting Hojo added Jenova's Cells to Cloud. Cloud was just lucky that Zack saved him so he wouldn't die, turn into a monster (like the creatures in the Makoreactor in Nibelheim) or becomes a mindless crackhead (like the Numbers). Also Zack and Cloud were friends and Cloud admired Zack, so it's no wonder he catched up some style and tricks.

    Woa woa woa, if I remember correctly she didn't MARRY Hojo, they just simply boned in the name of science according to her. You should mention too that Sephiroth fell into the lifestream but due to Jenova's cells couldn't be absorbed by it and he was able to create himself a new body after going dormant for awhile.
    Both the wiki and what I remember from the games does state that Cloud and Zack were in fact BOTH failed Sephiroth "clones". Not actually clones but part of the same experiment. The wiki states that Cloud became a successful clone when he was drawn through Jenova's cells by Sephiroth to retrieve the Black Materia for him during the reunion. Successful clones were those who acted on the reunion instinct.
    However, the memory thing was true... He blocked Zack out of all of his memories and instead put him in his place in those memories when in reality he was just a scrub in the background.

      @GuitarJester89 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      DingDongDanger They call them clones just because they were infused with Jenova cells. Just like Sephiroth. That's it. That's the only relevance the word "Clone" has regarding them. Just copied experiments.

      Yes. Then both were experimented on and cloud suffered from mako poisoning. They broke out and fled to midgar. Zack took care of cloud while he was messed up from the mako poisoning and he was shot dead by troops outside of midgar. Cloud was still basically catatonic so the soldiers left him to die. The game picked up a while after that.

    A few errors, one being that Cloud "IS" a "Sephiroth Clone" which more so means, someone who can transform into Sephiroth, just like the guys in Advent Children.
    The head didnt turn into Sephiroth, but instead someone else (most likely one of the guys in black robes)
    The stigma was used to defeat the Cetra, which does involve transformation, but is what you read about in the north, and or see in the movie.
