I Played Crisis Core: Final Fantasy 7 for the FIRST TIME (Ending Reaction)

[@ChocolateKieran]

This was my FIRST TIME playing Crisis Core & I dind't expect to love Zack so much! You can check out the FULL Unedited Playthrough over on Twitch, we're also playing Rebirth there! 😁 www.twitch.tv/collections/vfbNfHdpMRe1BA

[@syahmioziar5290]

You watch this before you finish rebirth playthrough or after.

[@ChocolateKieran]

@@syahmioziar5290 I PLAYED it, not just watched and this was before we started Rebirth, I said so in the intro

[@syahmioziar5290]

@@ChocolateKieran I meant played, not watch. My bad. Oh, I haven't watch the video yet. Noted.

[@ClassyNinetales1]

Zack deserved so much more than what he was given and he was so close to midgar as well 😭😭

[@ChocolateKieran]

RIGHT?! It's so tragic, I am really optimistic about wha tthe Remake series has in store for him though

[@ClassyNinetales1]

Same I hope he gets a happy ending he deserves it

[@MrDiomedes1977]

Its incredible what Square did with Zack character. In original VII he was like a shadow gone, his most important scenes optional and hidden, yet they took that and evolved it intoa fully fledged charachter everybody loves , fun, optimistic, energetic, relatable...and who meets a tragic end and is forgotten by nearly everyone or with a bad remembering of him (as Elmyra, and Aerith to some degree) as they didnt know what really happened to him.Seeing Zack in his prime, his honor, hus dreams, yet knowing he isnt making it alive...this game is heartbreaking, moreso in 2008 when he was gone for good. Now at least after remake theres an alternate version of him alive it seems.

[@ChocolateKieran]

Couldn't agree more, wild how much I grew to love him so quickly! Let's hope he has a positive future in the Remake series 🙏🏾

[@Volokyn]

And that's why Zack is my favorite FF protag ever. He just had to go through so much and yet, in the end, he still faced everything with a smile on his face. He really is the best.

[@ChocolateKieran]

The GOAT! I feel that, grew to really love him this game

[@JOKER-py9np]

of all the ff games i played nobody comes close to cloud and zack as mcs and characters for me, they are just too goated and imo the face of the whole franchise

[@ChocolateKieran]

I still need to finish 16 but I really do like Clive’s character so far (only 15 hours in) BUT Zack for sure is my GOAT

[@mel-el5862]

@@ChocolateKieran I thought Zack was goated but rebirth Cloud is definitely overshadowed Zack lol. I changed ships sorry guys.

[@ChocolateKieran]

@@mel-el5862 you mean ships for Aerith or just in general? In general I'm still more a Zack guy but We'll see how I feel when we see the REAL Cloud, if you mean ship for Aerith I really don't care much as long as the characters are happy

[@yaninaayalaherrera8956]

Now you know why so many of us wenr absolutely crazy when Zack showed up at the end of Remake. He is insanely beloved by so much of the fandom, he's great. Definitely my favorite FF7 character

[@ChocolateKieran]

Honestly, he might be my favourite character now too 😭 I recognised Zack and knew about him vagueley because of Kingdom Hearts & the original game, but this added context of his story just made me love him SO much!

[@diamonshade7484]

I can see why Zack showed up in Aqua's story in birth by sleep now both met tragic ends trying to protect their friend

[@ChocolateKieran]

I mean he did ask her out on a date 😂

[@abrahamcueva4487]

What you mean? Zack shows up in all three of their stories, she's just the last person to meet him

[@diamonshade7484]

@abrahamcueva4487 the both meet tragic faiths at the end of the game and both were protecting a 'sleepy' friend

[@abrahamcueva4487]

@@diamonshade7484 fair point. I was just commenting cause your post makes it seems shes the only one who meets him

[@oumarkane9233]

The thing genisis saw at the end was a summon called Minerva who represent the will of the life stream

[@ChocolateKieran]

Thank you! Luckily somebody mentioned it at the end of stream, glad to get the extra context 😁

[@TheMainManJr]

One of the saddest ff endings for sure, seeing zack taking on a whole army till his last breath

[@ChocolateKieran]

Couldn't agree more, I love the world and characters of FF7 so much 😤

[@earthrise2001]

Zack is my hero.

[@ChocolateKieran]

I respect that so much! Have so much context to his appearance in Kingdom Hearts and I love him a ton after playing this

[@Adanu191]

The way they zoomed in on the eyes to highlight that being the moment the jenova cells in Cloud activating is the icing on the cake.

[@depressedwatermelon411]

I’ve finally had time to play rebirth and reunion so I speed ran reunion in the middle of playing rebirth. And I didn’t know how dirty they did Zack. The moment the 4 years part happened everything hit harder.

[@ChocolateKieran]

yeah he really didn’t deserve the fate he was given! justice for my boy! 😤

[@cutieone7465]

I hope your heart is okay with all the heartbreak

[@ChocolateKieran]

I appreciate that 😭

[@BetaBlue42]

This game.... oh man. Tears every time. Also now I want to reread a fan story, where they escape with the frog spell, cause c'mon, Zack.

[@ThePrimaryAxiom]

Zack’s charisma levels are off the charts. These final fantasy games have some of the best character building and stories ever. I played Final Fantasy 7 remake for the first time 4 years ago and I couldn’t stop thinking about it for so long after. It was the first Final Fantasy game I ever played. Only great games do that to you. Games like cyberpunk, Witcher 3, the first last of us, a lot of Final Fantasy games, There’s a visual novel called the house in Fata Morgana. After finishing that I couldn’t stop thinking about it either that was crazy good. Same with Summer’s gone. That was such a surprisingly great VN. So good. There’s just some great written stories out there that you just remember forever.

[@holographicwing]

"Open your eyes Genesis" "He probably needs an optician with the way they are degrading with the rest of his body" LMAO

[@ChocolateKieran]

glad you got a laugh out of that 😂!

[@MrDiomedes1977]

The two that take Genesis are from the underground Soldier group that are the antagonists in Dirge of Cerberus.

[@ChocolateKieran]

Right, Nero & Wiess! I only realised when their names appeared in the credits LOL

[@Sephiroth08150]

I played the original on PSP. While I knew Zack had to die, they made such a good job making me attached to him that, in the end, I cried like a bitch. When I got Reunion, I told myself that I will, again, cry like a bitch. I did. In HD. Crisis Core to me also made me look at Cloud's condition not with humor, but with horror. Dig enough in the compilation of FF7, and you can see that Cloud wasn't well-liked in Nibelheim, became a pariah when Tifa tried to cross the mountains and ended up in a coma, while Cloud who tried to save her only got a broken ankle, left for the city to join SOLDIER, but never made it (reasons are still unclear up to this day, while Cloud totally had what it took physically, some says his mind wasn't at it, others says that since he joined after the Wutai war, the demand for SOLDIERs wasn't as high...), became a security grunt and lived a normal military life. Zack literally was his first friend. Then he comes to Nibelheim. Alongside his hero, Sephiroth and best friend Zack. He loses his town, his idol betrays him, he thinks Tifa is dead, he is then experimented on, leaving him in a coma, and when he comes back to, the first thing he sees is his best friend lying in a pool of his own blood, telling him to carry on his dreams and honor. I would have been more worried if Cloud was alright after such a trauma conga line!

[@rebeccacarlyle1798]

Loved your commentary and reactions :) I loved this game. Was soooo shocked about the DMW and how they used it breaking as a story telling mechanic, blew my mind!

[@darklord99100]

you should react to the Cinematic Trailers for Street Fighter X Tekken along with the team intros, Rival Cutscenes, and the Arcade intros and endings

[@ChocolateKieran]

Oh I will be reacting to SF x Tekken at some point for sure!

[@hirokun8588]

Embrace your dreams and whatever happens, Protect your honor as SOLDIER😢

[@AmakusaWorld]

You should react (if you find them all I guess) to every Granblue Fantasy Versus Rising Character Trailer and SSBAs xD

[@ChocolateKieran]

So I have a video coming reacting to all the skybound arts because I bougth the game LOL, expect that soon!!!

[@S.V-22]

1:07:30 It's amazing that you realized Sephiroth might know Aerith. She’s familiar with soldiers too, likely due to her childhood in Shinra with her mother. Sephiroth was there, and I think Professor Gast, Aerith’s father, raised him. Thanks for sharing your gameplay and reactions. Crisis Core is one of the best games I have ever played. Zack became my favorite FF character. FFVII isn’t complete without Zack.

[@S.V-22]

Thanks!

[@NAzo.]

1:40:06 Hey man about that. If it's the same as the original Crisis Core for the PSP then the answer is this (no trolling) watch?v=sNsViIHvqjM If you look at the original Crisis Core epilogue you can see the CG with Aerith is in tune with the original game while Crisis Core Reunion is towards Remake.

[@crypticjonesy8496]

You should react to the differences between the voice actors for Zack. Not saying who to like but it's cool to sometimes hear some people's opinions on the VA change. I'm not really a fan of Caleb Pierce and prefer Rick Gomez. Sounds more natural if I had to give it a word

[@baej00hyvn]

why there are no recent streams on twitch??

For Rebirth? My reaction to the end of the game is uploading right now, so you'll be able to watch it today! I always save the end of the game for KZbin videos first 😁
