Disclaimer: I love Cloud, but he's not mine. Sephiroth is not mine, and just about everyone else i don't own either, so there ya go. I don't own Kingdom Hearts or Final Fantasy.

SPOILERS (kinda, well for KH2, they're optional spoilers) FOR BOTH GAMES IF YOU HAVEN'T PLAYED YET!


So you know how Cloud thinks he's Zack throughout the first like, two discs of the game? In Kingdom Hearts, there is a Cloud who says Sephiroth is his dark side, his past.

When Cloud was separated from himself, the day he began to think he was Zack and not Cloud, the real Cloud floated away to the Kingdom Hearts universe.

There, as we learn in the original KH, he is looking for his light. (and then...

In CoM, he is looking for his memories. (wooo, see a pattern?)

In KH2, after you beat Sephiroth, he and Cloud fight and disappear into the sky. They went back to the FF7 world.

The real Cloud, this psyche Cloud, has to fight Sephiroth in order to return to his body. Only the real Cloud knows what transpired in the Mako Reactor. Zack-Cloud just knows he must defeat Sephiroth, but the real Cloud knows why.

So all I'm getting at is this: KH Cloud is fighting his way back to FF Cloud. He fights Sephiroth all the way back to his body. He reunites with his body in the Lifestream.


Pishivee: But that doesn't mean I think the KH universe is a dreamworld! i'm just a weirdo who thinks too much.

Yeah, I know Zack-Cloud in FF7 gets in touch with the real Cloud a couple of times (like in Aeris' church, and after saving that girl with CPR), but this is just a fantasy of mine.
