Crisis Core: Final Battle: Final DMV Spins [ENGLISH]

Loosing memories...

[@jaeusa160]

The only game to make someone cry over the feels... from a slot machine. I just love how they took a silly annoying mechanic and turned it into a very emotional moment.

[@rpgfanatic9719]

How is it annoying? It isn't even silly either, it's well implemented as an RNG mechanic that we see stale usage of in other other rpg games as just missing the target usually. And the fact that it actually has lore behind it makes it even better.

[@MariusBoss11458]

​@@rpgfanatic9719 I'm so glad it's gonna be in Reunion

[@stomyn]

It's amazing how they managed to tie in so much emotion and symbolism into a friggin slot machine. Mad kudos for that one, Square Enix, mad kudos there

[@MariusBoss11458]

Mad Kudos 9 years later

[@ShadowSoldior]

@messed2552 He wasn't "losing" his memories, he was dying. His mind was slowly fading as the battle wore on from fatigue and his wounds. The last thing he thought of was Aerith, the girl he loved and never got to keep his promise too.

[@FinalFatalyx]

The last words on each of the three DMV spins are very powerful themselves. because they are louder and no echo. don't get me wrong the echo is great but at the end when they don't put in the echo it strengthens the effect. Cissnei: Zack, I gotta go. Cloud: Hold on. Aerith: I'll be here Best ending ever.

[@MariusBoss11458]

Alright. Now that Crisis Core Reunion is out. Here are the last words on each of the three DMV spins. Cissnei: Zack I gotta go. Angeal: You have my thanks. Aerith: I'll be here. Cloud's "Hold on" is still there but they chose Angeal to be the Final words instead. Which is not a bad change. Plus the way they worked with the camera during that was amazing.

[@Omegalord92]

@@MariusBoss11458 I actually prefer that it is Angeal since that's the next big change that happens to him in terms of priority in developing the maturity of the Zack we come to know as he grows into that 1st Class Soldier

[@MariusBoss11458]

@@Omegalord92 I always thought it was weird that there wasn't enough Angeal in the DMW. Expecially since he was so important to Zack. I much prefer the Reunion one. Plus it was emotional.

[@Maylu7676]

No matter how many times I watch the ending, I always cry. It's just too sad. Zack was the best.

[@Tekudo]

The final DMV spins were a nice touch for the sad factor in the end. Playing the game from start to finish and seeing this in the end was a real tear jerker.

[@angramainyu267]

this was the saddest part of the game for me.... made me cry so much.. T_T

[@stur]

why tf am I watching these crisis core nostalgia clips in christmas eve

[@chimerandragon1]

i can honestly say, this is the one video game that traumatized me at the end, to know that zach never got to be with aerith. damn near broke my psp when i first played this.

[@Endelece]

Cloud's "Hold on!" gets me somehow. Always.

[@Masuo15]

This was so heart breaking, as FFVII fan..you know where this is going to...on the very momment Zack told Cloud where they were going... honestly the building for the closing of this game was perfect, I still think this is the most emotive momment Square Enix ever deloped for a Final Fantasy. And no, I think Squaresoft did better, but since the Enix era, this was the best.

[@johntorreto4485]

This was the first FF game I ever played and the realization that I was seeing his final hurrah took YEARS of my life. Why did you have to do this to me game!!!!!

[@LazuliTala]

aww that's sad how Cissnei says "I gotta go" and the memory of her DID have to go... I just noticed this and then Cloud says hold on....I never realized that they applied to both the memory and the current situation and when Aerith says I'll be here, does that mean she WILL always be in his memory or did she actually fade away?

[@acidreighn]

its awesome how they made something that emotional out of a game mechanic

[@stomyn]

this battle was the perfect ending for the game because of two thigs: the music and the DMV. the music was both sad and climactic at the same time, and the DMV degredation, as it represents Zak's own mental state, was just genius and just so....final.

[@raiden4life]

cloud telling Zack to hold on was one of the best parts because thats exactly what Zack did he fought to the end

[@KOLHS]

For those who were asking why the D.M.W. memories were fading, he was dying slowly so it was probably breaking. Imagine "life flashes before your eyes" right before you die, they say.

[@MariusBoss11458]

10 Years later. Life Flashes before your eyes is correct.

[@vjopepirozhok]

14 yeard later it still hits. Brings shivers.

[@MinamimotosGirl]

D: Those were really the parts I started tearing up at. I mean come on, "Zack, I gotta go," "Hold on," and "I'll be here." OMG D: *starts bawling again*

[@mimato]

the saddest part is not when Zack died....it's the battle he fought knowing he could never win....he still tired his hardest to protect Cloud and the memories that starts to fade away.........................

[@gntlmn146]

AAAAAGGGGGHHHHHH!!!! This always sets the tears off 4 me. And I didn't play FF7 so I didn't know Zack would die!!! I want to scream why but I already know why zack had to die! DAMN U SHINRA!!! I just got FF7 yesterday and I'm starting tomorrow. I don't care how popular cloud is, zack will always be my favorite hero. YOU ROCK ZACK!!!!

[@Pyre]

God, something about Aerith's last line there just gets me...

[@pungol36]

he thinks about aerith during his last moments....

[@captainnightwisp6925]

"Zach, I gotta go" "Hold on" "I'll be here"

[@Lonelyboiii31]

I fuckin cried my eyes out playing the final mission as Zack fair was dying. The price of freedom...

[@TheNomurafan]

yeah that's what everyone thinks but right when your trying to leave nibelheim and the soldiers try to take cloud, at the end of the battle zack says "why am i having trouble with these guys?" meaning that he's lost a lot of his fighting power due to being in the basement of the mansion for 4 years

[@darkcloud6664]

For those who where crying after crisis core: you should play through the FF7 remake. That will cheer you up :D.

[@dipron-dppt134]

Sephiroth's reel doesn't fade even after the 1st 3 DMW reels break. It only goes away when it was Aerith's turn.

[@jtlego1]

So. *Whos ready to see this all happen in HD* ?

[@MariusBoss11458]

Me...?

[@Drewski1290]

Oh me for sure. I'm ready to be hurt again, but this time in 4K

[@KaeraNeko]

This game... The ending makes me cry, every single time... I love this game...

[@zackfair73195]

Hey, I was just amazed by the graphics half the time. Amazing especially for a psp.

[@KnightGamer724]

And now we get this on modern hardware... Wait, no, I don't want this. This will make me emotional again.

[@xelnagav280]

Video game endings this sad should be illegal

[@alexandreberthault9942]

Always heartbreaking... 💔

[@Jedisupersonic7]

This was so tragic.. Poor Zack. SE did excellent with this scene..

[@gntlmn146]

Actually, I take back part of my last comment. I had a slight clue that zack would die cuz i didn't hear about him in ff7. When I saw the DMW images fading though, I then realized the horrible truth. I remember that when I realized this, I fought SO HARD to keep zack from dying. And yet...it all meant nothing! I still fight hard when I go through the game which'll be every year

[@MANJYOMETHUNDER111]

If you look closely, Sephiroth is still on the leftmost reel during the second phase, despite clearly dissapearing during the first one.

[@Mnemoniforma9.00]

Rewatching this makes my LP's stop in Gongaga all the more heart-wrenching.

[@Wielkimati]

I just love how Angeal says "Use brings about wear... tear... and rust" Dunno why, but it's awesome!

[@Eriqzzzz]

the dmv sequence adds that emotional touch

[@stomyn]

And by the time he was done, there were only three left

[@eskozki903]

"modulation phase" Oh yea! wait, what the fuck, NOOO!

[@robbyg1232]

I prefer the remake version of the final spins tbh, they did change a few lines which I thought was silly like clouds HOLD ON! which works great for the scene also the VA killed it

[@XXsoXXextremeXX]

well atleast they zack and aerith with both rest peacfully together :D

[@DuttyGyal718]

well there were some references to zack throughout ff7 and even a cut scene of him dying. Sux that he died. :( :-X

[@michaelxiiith5009]

IF THEY REMAKE THIS GAME, CHANGE THE ENDING, OR DO SOMETHING ELSE ABOUT IT BECAUSE THIS IS WAY TO MUCH TO HANDLE, MY EYES HURT FROM CRYING FOR MY BROTHER. ZACK😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@novelcorona9439]

I just hope that they make a version where Zack lived because of the ff7 remake end

[@_zzeero]

aged well

[@kat-nip]

i was crying so hard at this part. its so sad =(

[@zackfair73195]

Hey I got Crisis Core and had never played VII and I was shocked when Zack died.

[@sync94]

i've played ff7 cc and when i got to this part i knew that he was dying i started to really cry alot cause of what already happened to him (my sisters made fun of me cause i cried) i luv ya ZACK!!

[@chocomimi9945]

0:10 this is literally a pachinko minigame rn and I like it😂

[@StevenSantanaF]

God damn you. This always makes me cry

[@animegirl1394]

I think i'm gonna cry...:'(

[@mimiru27]

Aerith DMV was to emotional 😢😢

[@rollerfreak1331]

The DMV scenes are evil man, they made it even sadder

[@MANJYOMETHUNDER111]

@Kuruni For me, it was "Zack, I gotta' go."

[@acidreighn]

@Ashbringer72 it was very emotional and one hell of a headtrip thats for sure. I tried to play out the entire fight (thinking it would end, but knowing it wouldnt till zack was dead) Id say i was in it for at least 45 mins and when i finally noticed what was going on with the memories I pretty much just lettem kill me right then and there. I lost memories alot slower when i played it seemed.

[@zackfair73195]

Yeah I know, but Square Enix *shakes head*, they're just AMAZING.

[@darkmind1212]

best but sadest moment in final fantasy history

[@DisGuyRSick]

Well in a way thats a good way to start the game since Crisis Core is before FFVII.

[@darkoverlight00]

final thoughts man

[@Lucavi86]

Same here man.

[@Fabian99999999999999]

@Ashbringer72 im a boy too and in this last battle of zacks life i cry the whole fight :( it was the saddest game end i ever see before and my tears wont stop :( zack is my favourite Final Fantasy character and then...at the end of crisis core he must die :( this was so hard :( but tears are ok when even boys love something so much that they can cry for it :)

[@MeteoRush12]

SQUARE ENIX you...! Why'd you have to make games that...that... are just so EPIC... Zack Fair is my most favorite hero in the FF series! He should not have been killed!!! ...just went away to a different place...not the lifestream...WHY?! I was lucky enough to hold back my tears while the final scene played... Yet I felt... happy because Zack won't have to put up with that $*** anymore... and sad because he was shot down! And got shot in the HEAD too! Damn you Shinra!

[@LowlandTenrec]

@Ashbringer72 I cried manly tears myself.

[@JustCloudStrife]

беда печаль

[@raiden4life]

@DuttyGyal718 and that cutscene in FF7 was nowhere near as effective as it was in crisis core lol

[@joaofilbida]

i don't get one thing lots of people says that a verge of assault music plays in this battle, but the music is the price for freedom can someone explain me?!

[@Ramzeke]

This was the one scene I felt empty on, you could feel his life falling apart and him dying, but he fought for his friends and died trying to go back to them

[@ashman2770]

So..... what happen to monster metira and chocobo

[@IcyLemonTeaa]

@KakeraAki lol dude we're the same i too cried(not really cry just that eyes became teary and i started sniffing).. WHY DID HE HAVE TO DIE T_T

[@akai1535]

this is so sad zack and aerith could have been a cute couple

[@Nick051292]

@acidreighn shit, i went a whole hour in this fight before i finally gave up

[@xCodeXANA]

It would have been cool if he survived, but just think about it. Wouldn't you be tired and half dead after being shot and sliced so many times by hundreds of other troops?

[@zackfair73195]

So sad....I hate yet love the end of this game!!!

[@virivale94]

why zack you died you are the best hero

[@MachineLaw]

So was this some kind of FF Slot Machine game I never heard about?

[@vulpesveloxx]

The feels will get you...

[@cmwest0]

Man

[@Wallethrowproduction]

anyone else hear "suntan lotion?"at 00:5

[@SpikeySenjuSSJPapa]

Pretty sure she actually says that in the cutscene where Zack is Fighting Genesis troops at the beach with his umbrella
