I would have to say: Zack. I found myself completely absorbed, enchanted, in love with his personality. He was soo upbeat, confident, playful and strong. If I could've somehow jumped into the game and had his babies, I would have - MOVE OVER, Aerith.

As for Cloud, I just couldn't ever form an attachment to his character. I felt pity, for him, of course, but that was about it. The guy went through alot, poor dear. I never really really enjoyed the character, that much. So, there you are, my vote goes for Zack.
;)

You know, its kind of funny, I see these girls swooning over Zack. But in my experience girls seem to love that broody mysterious guy. Well, at least when I was younger.

Ill take cloud because I know nothing about this Zack guy, havnt played CC.
 
Zack is much better because he was good and helpful.At the beggining he was full of energy and liked to play games.Angeal called him Zack the puppy.
And because his hair were black.
 
I chose Zack. His personality's pretty good, makes me feel its somewhat suitable for a main character.

Furthermore, I thought Cloud's personality was derived from Zack's...
 
Although both are Extremely good leading men, Zack manages to pull ahead due to the Fact of he is one of the Greatest members Of SOLDIER and he manages to beat down all of those Shinra guys at the end of Crisis Core in order to Save clouds life, Also Cloud gets Zack's memories which just goes to show that Zack is a better Character as Cloud wants to be him.
 
Wow, this guy Zack sounds like the End All of FF Men. I never thought id see so many people unite against Cloud from FFVII haha. I guess I need to see what all the Hubub is about.
 
Haha, well this was a very easy decision.

I voted Zack. : )

Sure, Cloud was very messed up and complex and I did like that. It made things very interesting. However, Zack initially grabbed my attention in FFVII because so little was known about him. All I knew is that he had a bit of a spunky attitude. :P You barely knew the basics.
When CC came out, I saw that he was a "restless puppy" and his remarks were silly and endearing. He wanted to be a hero, and the ending line
When he dies and says : "Do you think I became a hero?"
 had a huge impact on me and left me teary eyed. :'( Cloud would've been toast without him, the interactions/story he had with Aerith were both heart-warming and heart-wrenching, and the fact that he had to see all of his friends die...
*tear* His story was just full of laughter and tears for me.

Cloud's story was just... confusing at first. When I figured it all out, it left me saying "Oh". It just wasn't as exciting.
 
Cloud.

I always thought Cloud was a better character than Cloud. And the story he tells in FFVII is a little confusing at first, but after a while, you start to understand where he is comming from.
 
i think cloud and zack are both equally good main characters b/c they are so diverse and each have their good points and bad soo in my opinion i think they are both equal :)
 
I vote for Zack. He's the kind of guy I could fall in love with were he a real person.
As for Cloud, he's not bad either. But I don't go for blonds :P

Anyway I think they both fit in their own games just perfectly.
 
Zack.
I like the way Zack was always optimistic, even when things got down he had his dream and he was willing to reach it. Even if he needed a little reminder now and then to go on. Even after four years he was determined to come back to Midgar, I bet others would have just given up,. specially when they saw the army after them, Heehee. He was a very well balanced character and a much better leading role than Cloud. He was the one in the most part to actually push people forwards not to be the one being pushed along the road.
In the end, he fulfilled his dream. As far as I'm concerned, Zack is a hero. <3

I think Cloud is a much more interesting character. But since it's the "better" char, I'd have to say Zack. I think Zack is a better leader and more optimistic than Cloud. But Cloud is much more interesting because he's not as confident :D
 
Zack. His strong will and determination along with they way he cared about Cloud and Aeris. He couldve just left Cloud and went to Midgar, but he chose to protect Cloud and keep him safe and died doing so.
True hero
 
I know just because Cloud isn't as extroverted as Zack, it doesn't mean that Cloud is an emo or a useless character. This applies with people as well. Cloud has gone through a painful past, making him a reserved person. Zack, may not have gone through a painful past like Cloud, but he is still a noble, brave and a good character. he is my favorite, as, even though he is considered the picture of perfectness of a guy, his personality shines more. He's a really great and a kind person, despite his high rank. In my opinion, he was very suited with Aerith.

Cloud all the way !

Cloud isn't the whole stereotypical perfect hero and he's unlucky, unbalanced, and pretty screwed up to be truthful.

Cloud is pretty unlucky, he struggles to gain everything that everybody else has, he is pretty weak mentally and physically and he actually goes through so much hardships and pain while Zack just gets it all, and lives a much easier life, and gets Cloud's dream to become a Solider so easily, of course Zack looses his luck and begins to go through hardships and pain later down the road..

But Cloud goes through it all of his life, while Zack probably would of been the pretty cool kid, Cloud was the outsider and the misfit.

It's so so amazing to watch the underdog, to gain a amazing group of friends that love him and follow his every word, and become a Hero that saved the planet and conquer his fears and become a stronger person that he was before.

So yeah, voted for the Underdog- Cloud.

Love Zack and he is a pretty great Hero, but just think that Cloud being able to conquer his weaknesses is pretty amazing..
