The Wolf
So there has been much speculation about the symbolism of the wolf in this movie. I've heard that it's Zack's spirit staying with Cloud, I've heard it's Aerith's spirit and I've also heard that the wolf symbolizes Cloud's lonliness. Cloud is like a lone wolf. I've also heard that is what the wolf on his arm and in his ear is referred to as well that's why Cloud wears them. So what do you guys? What is your speculation and theory of the wolf?

I wouldn't say that the wolf itself is Zack but probably to symbolize him in some way, Cloud wearing the wolf on his shoulder etc could be Cloud's way of remembering Zack in the same way everyone is wearing the pink ribbons to symbolize Aerith.

i think its Zack aswell because at the start of the movie when Cloud is by the buster sword in the ground he says "i said i would live both our lives,easy to make that promise" or something like that, and isnt he wolf there aswell?

In Japanese culture there is said to be a Wolf symbolizing life and spiritualism meaning it is most likely either the lifestream manifesting into a wolf much like a gaurdian angel, or it is both Zack and Aerith but definitely not either one or the other... You choose whichever one you like more!!!

See I always seen the wolf as Zack's spirit watching over Cloud just like a big brother would and just like he did before he was killed  I also see the wolf as a symbolism of Cloud's lonliness so I was just curious what everybody else thought ^^

His Motorcycle is called "Fenrir". It's been a long time since I read up on Norse Mythology, but I'm confident when I say he was a mythological Wolf who gaurded the gates to Valhala, no? Well, the Wolf and the bike have to be connected - maybe Cloud just wanted matching attire?  Or even guarding the gates to his emotions, or something. You know the expression, "I opened a gate"?

Mostly right but Fenrir was not guarding the gate to Valhala he was just the son of Loki and grew to big for his bonds with his father... His jaws touched the earth and sky at the same time, he was killed after killing odin, odin's son killed him he did no guarding of Valhala...

Well that could be true because you see at the end of the movie of a wolf over cloud after he gets shot, then you hear Aerith and Zack talking, it could very well represent him

I always thought that it symbolized Cloud's Guilt for letting Aerith die...
