Yes, i was waching the ending of crisis core and Zack and Cloud loked mucho younger than 21 and 24! i think that, like vincent valentine, they dindt aged a dat because of the mako energy...so now, cloud has 21 years old but he looks as he was 16!!

now i understand why yuffie liked him!! :P and tifa and aeris?? ¬¬ they like babyes??

seriosly now, i like cloud and i think he is very cute n_n

Oh my gawd....lol.
It makes sense in a way.
But, Cloud looks older as the compilation goes on.

Yeah, I didn't think Cloud looked 21 in the CC ending either.... Nice theory! I do think though, that Cloud looks older in AC then he does in CC.

I don't think it's so much that they haven't aged physically, as that they haven't had the chance to develop mentally. I mean, Cloud's higher brain functions are clearly limited here - the best he can do is repeat what Zack says - and he's definitely not all there. He's still thinking like a sixteen year old, and as such acting like one, using the same expressions and so on. I think they both do look older than during the Nibelheim Incident.

I dunno... I'm 22 but I look the same as I did at 16 or 17. Just with dyed hair. :mellow:

Cloud definitely looks older in AC though. I think they did their job. ^_^

Or maybe the excess Mako stunted their growth. :P

That or something's up with the FMV people.

That's because Papa Computer doesnt age ;P lol
