Cloud: black screen and white text talking... clarification

[cassarubi]

Mostly in Midgar, when the screen goes black and white text comes up, who is thinking or giving Cloud these ideas?

Happens when you yake the top left room in the Brothel/Bath House in Sector 6 Wall Street area.  and in Junon after the dolphin fight.

there's text like Cloud is thinking, but is it Zach, Aeris, Sephiroth having these conversations in his mind, or 100% Cloud thinking about random things that flash into his mind.  Also in the bath house there is that Cloud ghost before the black screen and white text.

Just trying to understand those scenes, because they are confusing.  They happen prolly less than 10 times in the game or so.

what are all those moments suppose to represent?

was reading old posts from other forums and it says that's Jenova speaking to him. hmm.  I want to read only the ones from Midgar and piece that together and see what Jenova wanted, just from the beginning of the game.

or it's kid Cloud or something lol, any idea?

I was never sure, thought it was either Jenova cells talking or his subconscience.

I had always assumed that it was either the part of himself that was "fully" Cloud trying to remind him of who he actually is, or the Jenova cells trying to confuse him by doing the same.

I am watchin advent children complete for 1st time, and they did a blackscreen with words and it was Jenova/Sehpiroth type message... which has roots from the later part of the game.

I think the messeges represent what Cloud has to deal with inside, whether it's himself, Zach/Tifa, Jenova or Sephiroth causing/sparking it... it's what cloud feels.

in reference to the Tifa Mt. Nibel accident.

It's Cloud's subconsciousness trying to bring his conscious self back to reality.

That's also how I intepreted it when doing the script for FF7Voice.  It's Cloud subconcious represented in his mind by his 7-10 year old self while in the lifestream.
