Yeah, it was as if by changing the discs, you also exchanged Squall for a completely different person. He went "Fuck, that chick is annoying I don't want anything to do with her" to "OMG I NEED TO HEAR HER VOICE RINOAAAAA I WUV YOU" in the blink of an eye and it was just plain weird. I agree that an unintentional "you're my Sorcerer's knight and in love with me now" would explain it - it was always the only reason I could think of for this complete change of heart.
(The way everyone tried to set them up together and kept pressuring Squall into dating Rinoa already was pretty skeevy as well though.)


Yeah, the actual game canon for VII is pretty romance free. I just think that all the people who insist Cloud and Aeris are totally in love (or something) are missing the huge elephant in the room that is "Cloud thinks he's Zack for a big part of the game" - which makes a Cloud/Aeris pairing kind of creepy as well.

I've heard a lot of people justify it by saying that he didn't realise his feelings until he was faced with the possibility of losing her, but that doesn't make a lick of sense considering shortly before they go to fight Edea he left her hanging from the side of the Garden during a massive battle for like half an hour because he had more important stuff to do.

Honestly for the first two discs you could make a better argument that Squall has feelings for Zell than you can for Rinoa.

And yeah, it's skeevy the way everyone keeps pushing him to like her. Yeah, a relationship might be good for him, but it's not their place to constantly pressure him in to it.

As for FFVII, I agree, but just one super pedantic point: I don't think Cloud ever thought he was Zack, exactly. He just confused some of his life experiences for Zack's, which basically means he thought he was a lot cooler and more successful than he actually was. He thought he was the kind of person he wanted to be, which made him cocky and more self-confident, but otherwise he was largely the same person throughout the game (except when he was insane, of course). I think people tend to massively overstate how much of disc 1 Cloud was "fake".
