*** ''Intermission'' and then ''Rebirth'' make it quite clear, though, that Wutai in this version of the story is not just a harmless tourist trap. Despite its defeat, it remains a militarily powerful country with an elite ninja special forces corps who are indeed working with certain Avalanche cells, and is actively funding and supporting other anti-Shinra terrorist groups all over the world under the umbrella organization known as the Shinra Resistance Committee.

* When Cloud says that someone can change after 5 years following Tifa's surprise on him being considerate after giving her the flower (that Aerith gave him), she responds with a "huh." This is can be read as Tifa wondering about the "5 years" part since, at that point, she actually doesn't remember Cloud being at Nibelheim 5 years ago. In other words, it's one of the earliest hints to the fact that Cloud is an unreliable narrator due to his mixed up memories.

* In ''VideoGame/CrisisCore'', it was impossible for Zack to defeat the Shinra army as no matter how many he defeated, more soldiers kept coming. And while he did wipe out the army, there were still enough left standing to finish off the exhausted Zack. Which makes Zack being surprised he actually finished off the whole army even more surprising as even Zack feels like there should have been more soldiers.
** His lines in that scene are slightly different too. In the original there's a casual resignation that Zack accepts he's probably going to die and ok with that playing out. The Remakes lines are for more confident and aggressive as if Zack actually thinks he stands a chance this time and as it turns out he really did and managed to pull through.

* Since Zack's memories and SOLDIER training are imprinted on Cloud, it suggests that Cloud isn't really that good a dancer, yet he still pulls some more very impressive moves in his dance-off with Andrea. [[HiddenDepths When, and how, did Zack learn to dance like that]]?
* The characters' strength seems quite variable at times. This is most notable in "pull the character up" situations, which happen surprisingly often. In one section of the sewers, it takes both Tifa and Aerith to pull Cloud a foot so he could get a hand on the ledge. However, Tifa effortlessly catches Cloud one-handed at the top of the Shinra Tower, and she holds onto Barret's grappling gun despite Barret's size. Similarly, Cloud can jump twenty feet in the air, but was unable to leap far at all during the sewer fall mentioned earlier. This is actually fairly realistic. The characters do have super strength, but are limited by leverage or their footing. Tifa can effortlessly lift both Cloud and his BFS. However, she needs a good footing to pull him up a ledge without falling over herself. Cloud can jump huge distances, but not if there isn't anything to push against.
* At the end of [=INTERmission=], it's never explained how exactly [[spoiler: Yuffie managed to get down from the topside of Midgar for her epilogue scene on the Chocobo, since Shinra shuts down all transport to the slums after the Sector 7 plate drop. The only possible method would be via parachute like Jessie did earlier in the ''Remake'' storyline]].

* After the destruction of Mako Reactor 1 at the start of the game, the evacuees from Sector 1 are sent to the sector 7 slums. This is bad enough for people who don't have the know-how, skills and connections to survive in a place. But what makes this fridge horror is [[spoiler: that the sector 7 slums are destroyed a few days later.]]

* Why is Cloud only as StrongAsTheyNeedToBe, flubbing some jumps while pulling off amazing feats in other cases? Just because he's a SuperSoldier doesn't suddenly mean he's TheAce -- and he's still a young adult way in over his head, and fairly new to this whole thing. The guy was a rifleman with determination for days, not a proper SOLDIER with full training. This reflects itself in his combat style, too; for all of his supposed 1st Class badassery and his sleight of hand in dealing with the Buster Sword, he's effectively on-par with the rest of his teammates in output and arguably less effective in single target damage than [[LightningBruiser Tifa]], who is running off of pure hardcore martial arts training that would put his grunt work to shame. Cloud's effectively StrongButUnskilled and brute-forcing his way to victory by sheer superhuman reflex.

** Also when you combine age, general stamina, bulk, and additional equipment. It also makes sense that Tifa would be first up since "as the lightest one here," it also makes sense that since she's not carrying around bulky muscles, a BFS, or a gun arm, she'd be the first one up. Couple that with her endurance training that is absolutely necessary for a bare-fisted fighter would have. Tifa would likely be first seeing that there are limitations even for Cloud's SOLDIER enhancements.
