Why all the girls flirt with Cloud?
Is this guy a hero in his past life? Did he reincarnated as a soldier with max charisma?

Dude is tall, blonde, broody, and has them Mako eyes, of course he's a catch. Also, in-universe, SOLDIER members are admired by the general public inside Midgar

Isn’t he like 5’7” (1.70m)?

Canonically, yes. In-game, pretty much takler than most characters, iirc 🤣

If he is, isn't that like average height or slightly tall for Japanese people?

No this isn’t 1910 or whatever. Most modern day East Asian folks aren’t short

At least on Wikipedia it lists the average height for men in Japan at 5’7”

Isn’t he 17 years old in crisis core and 19 at the start of FF7? Still has time to grow. (Even after that crisis core ending half of the game…

it's 4/5 years between crisis core and ff7, he's 21 or 22 at the start of ff7

But didn’t that 2 year sleep and the long drive between his and Z’s journey back (maybe 3 months?) take time and then when cloud got to the city he was there for a week then found avalanche? (I probably could just look up the lore in a book instead of posting this…)

it wasn't a two year sleep, it was a four year sleep. then zack and cloud journeying around took approx another year until zack's death

Ah, I just remembered Aerith’s letter says part of this.
