    Things people should understand about this that a lot Ff7 fans get completely wrong. Clouds mind here is scrambled by the Mako experiments done on him and he is basically a vegatable with trauma. Cloud crawls to Zack with sheer willpower and Zacks first words to him is to survive for the both of them, that his honor and dreams are now Clouds and that Cloud is his living legacy. These words help Cloud reconstruct his scrambled thoughts by replacing the trauma with his own memories of Zack, adopting Zacks identity and actions. Some people seem to think Cloud has Zacks personal memories and personality which is false. Instead Cloud uses Zacks words to fix his mind and help him forget his trauma which is why he gets headaches anytime he is reminded of his Trauma in FF7. Cloud does not carry Zacks personal memories or personality but merely adopts his identity as a 1st class Soldier.

      Eeeehhhhh sort of. It has been confirmed that Jenova cells allow the sharing of memories and such and back in the original those white flashes when Tifa finds Cloud at the station has been confirmed to be the cells rewriting his memory. The part about Cloud being a vegetable with trauma is 100% accurate but yeah it’s a mix of him repressing the memories and Jenova cells making him mimic Zack far more accurately. (You can actually see this in the Remake with how he sits and some of his mannerisms which are mimicking Zack more than just from observation)

    • @Cetra29
      @Cetra29 Рік тому +108

      They kept it because there is no other ending. The remake is not what people think it is. The living Zack is not as alive as you guys think and the story is not about timelines but altered memories or something similiar. So surviving characters are still actually dead. Do not act surprised if we bump into a Zack and eventually we get the twist that nothing we see happened physically.

    I love this trope of the hero being defeated but only because they were weakened.
    Zack normally would never lose to shinryu's army of humans, 1st class were made to be able to solo entire armies. (Which is why sephiroth's weapon is so long, to literally reap as a many as possible). However he just bearly lived against genisis, while degrading is on par with his power, and buffed by the literal gawd of the world. Not to mention the psychological pain he was in, constantly protecting and carrying cloud. His friends, comrades and hero's were all dead (genisis' condition would of been unknown to Zack though). Aerith had finally given up on him after 4 years.
    Again no way Zack would of lost here, but he wasn't at peak performance and that's what makes it beautiful.

      Wrong. 1st Class are not immortal and they are not omnipotent gods. A SOLDIER 1st Class would survive but normally but also would have been tactically retreating. Zack could not retreat at all and had no cover so he was taking damage from all sides. This is because he was protecting Cloud. Also much of the "SOLDIER are gods" stuff comes from the game play mechanics. Bullets and blades are just as effective on them as they are on normal humans when they hit.

    What I also like is that the Turks were seemingly in the dark about Zack's location, while most of Shinra prepared an ambush knowing exactly where Zack was going to be. Given how the Turks operate and how good they are (Cissnei immediately found Zack soon after the escape from Nibelheim), there is likely more going on. Personally, I feel that it can be implied that the President, Heidegger, etc. all kept important information from the Turks regarding Zack's location near Midgar because they likely knew or had suspicions that Tseng and everyone were not going to turn over Zack if caught.

If I were to describe it, in the Remake he sounded like “Ugh, I guess I have to do this” and just very smug, while the original Crisis Core (and now Reunion) actually sounded like Zack was preparing for the inevitable while remaining confident in his beliefs until the end. Caleb Pierce did such a good job with the line in this case.

    Anyone else get the impressions that at 34:30, its essentially showing the lifestream pieces of Zack reach Aerith now in the "new" timeline at the spot the original Crisis Core essentially ends at and it's a major point in triggering her awareness that something is in fact off/seems familiar and begins the realization that this is the second coming of events? She would have well noticed his entering the lifestream in the original timeline and i'd imagine re-experiencing such a core trauma is one of the main things tipping her off to having the same "timeline awareness" that Sephiroth has.
    Factually there are two timelines now and it's also well demonstrated of certain others awareness' of this (Sephiroth indirectly speaks out to the player breaking the 4th wall referencing things wont go the same way this time, Aerith showing... something.... to Marlene as well as RedXIII prompting flashbacks of sorts, etc.) and frankly i'd have to imagine that eventually when we run into Bugenhagen he's going to be aware that something is going on as well....

    With buster sword= More serious sounding, less cheesiness in the delivery

For me, part of what drives it home is how, during the entire game, you don't see the characters ever actually bleed from their injuries, even when Cloud gets skewered by Sephiroth. They don't actually show the injuries. But here at the end, for once, the game cuts to Zack, bleeding profusely from the head, riddled with bullet holes, and lying in a pool of his own blood. It's so jarring and painful to see
