That single panning frame of Zero tossing his cloak is unforgettable. Remembering the complete hype MMZ2's intro filled me with is almost bringing me to tears. I would find any version of Departure I could (which was sadly difficult at the time) and play it on my MP3 player on repeat.

@@lorenzo689 Which game? Zero 1 and Zero 2 were rough on me, but Zero 3 lines up everything to just feel smooth as butter. Satellite Elf system was probably the key factor as it gives you bonuses without killing your rank (old Elf system are the Fusion Elves, do NOT touch!). You can get an Elf that adds HP, then another Elf that doubles that HP, and now you'll have a MUCH easier time. Find the 2 Natural Sub-Tanks on top of that, and death won't be an issue at all. What IS an issue is that taking too much damage affects rank. Mind you, I *had to* reset stages that I had completed multiple times just for the A rank lol, but the EX Skills are well worth it.

Departure is one of the saddest, most emotional but also inspiring and epic songs I've ever seen in any game. The sad part is due to the fact that Zero has not had a moment of peace throughout his entire existence, not even when he was unconscious for years he stopped causing problems, but of course, that was not his fault, but rather that of his creator who did a machine of destruction and nothing more. Imagine if it were you in zero's place? When do you realize that your existence was only possible because of someone's ambition? How would you feel? But even so, not everything is lost, because the inspiring part of this song is precisely about never giving up, and fighting for what you believe in, that's what Zero did, he didn't let his “purpose” influence who he is, and that's why That's what at the end of Megaman zero 3 he says: "I am zero"
