To me Cloud was trying to be alot like Zack
It's all in Crisis Core's ending, during Zack's final moments.
Remember, Zack said this to Cloud before he died: "For the both of us. You're gonna live. You'll be my living legacy. My honor, my dreams, they're yours now."
Throughout the entire story of Crisis Core, Cloud served as Zack's literary foil. Both of the came from a backwater town. (Gangaga and Nibelheim) Both of them have dreams of becoming heroes. However, Zack is an exceptional fighter and Cloud was...well...a weakling. Yet, this difference infused Cloud with a great sense of respect for Zack. Zack is Cloud's idol. Zack is Cloud's hero.
Moreover, Zack was saving Cloud during the events that happened in Nibelheim up to the game's ending. Cloud essentially owes his life to Zack. With Zack's final words, Cloud became determined to become stronger. He deems to repay his debts by living his life as Zack's legacy.
Sadly, as we all know in FF7, Cloud lived his life too much like Zack... to the point that he thought he was Zack....and Zack's memories were forgotten.
Aerith's death made him realize why he was in pursuit of Sephiroth
and gave him more confidence to trust his companions more...
He may be an emo at first but i liked how he struggled through that
and this helped his character to develop and become a more likeable character.
