It kinda bothers me when people say Cloud is "pretending" to be Zack, as that implies he's doing it willingly. But not only that, Cloud doesn't copy or even emulate Zack's personality during the first half of FFVII. His personality is basically a composite of how he viewed himself if he had joined Soldier, with his memories of events mixed up due to the mako poisoning and manipulation by Sephiroth/Jenova. Another thing people usually forget about Cloud is that even though he's 21 in FFVII, he was basically in a tube for 5 years so he's really mentally 16. His whole personality is a 16 year old's idea if what a cool Ex-SOLDIER is.

Not exactly, it’s not like his brain isn’t developed for his age because he IS 21 yo. But his life experiences are that of a 17yo instead of a 21 yo. So his social skills as an adult are not as developed as they would normally be if he didn’t lose those years and suffered as much trauma and psychological stress as he did.

He's pretending to be Zack in that he's pretending to be SOLDIER first class and Zack was SOLDIER first class. People aren't trying to make some deep comment on Cloud's personality, people are just saying he's pretending to be something he's not

What always got to me: Angeal: I don't use the Buster Sword unless I can help it. Use brings about rust, wear and tear. Zack: Yeah I use the sword, but only smack them with the blunt backside to knock them out. Using the sharp end will chip the edge and blood will slowly allow rust to set in. Cloud: Zack, I left the Buster Sword on the edge of a cliff overlooking Midgar as a memorial to you. *Zack and Angeal in a rage due to the Buster Sword just being abandoned on a desert cliff, completely rusted and broken.*

If it's any consolation, he does move it to the church at the end of the movie...a church that floods thanks to Aerith using her limit break in the afterlife and has holes in the roof...but now it sort of has some protection 😅. Still too little, too late by that point, though.

Zack for the longest time was my favorite final fantasy character. Still might be. I think he's a rare case of that honorable good guy without any major flaws that somehow still resonate. Nowadays those types of heros struggle to be interesting with audiences, example Superman, but Zack I think with his leading through example and actually having to pay the consequences of living that honest life is what makes him so resonant. The dialogue in this game is not very good. All the genesis and clones bs also not very good imo. Zack though makes it all worth it. What a hero.

I thought to myself, "About to replay the journey again...gotta thank Zack one more time for him becoming not only my favorite FF character but one of my general favorites in fictional ones of all time. " This time, unlike when I played this on PSP in highschool, I cried despite knowing how FF7 Remake is teasing a different reality.

You aren't the only one! I thought after Zack died, we'd cut to him waking up in the church him thinking that was a bad dream showing that this zack survived. It didn't help that interviews with developers made it seem like they were tying things together with remake/rebirth but not really only astetic wise not story. It really is just a better version of crisis, no reveals to rebirth so we just have to wait.

Against Minerva, instead of Costly Punch, I preferred using Hammer Punch instead and pop Soma when the MP/AP draining attack hits. Still hits 99999 at 255 ATK. And of course, High Jump i-frame abuse to dodge attacks. Forget Curaga, Aerial Drain in Buster Sword Stance will heal for 50k. Speaking about Hard difficulty of course. Normal is a cakewalk anyways.

I’m happy for everyone that enjoys Crisis Core Reunion. I played FF7 Remake, but haven’t played the original (yet). Actually, this past year in 2022, I played through Final Fantasy IV, VI, and V (in that order). I liked VI the most, and though I thought the Job System of V was cool, I still liked IV more. I’ve played these kind of as a way to catch up on games I wish I had played when I was younger. The next game I’m going to play will be Chrono Trigger. Some point after that, I plan to return to Final Fantasy by playing the original VII. I already know the story, including its plot twists, but part of me thinks I should go back and get the whole experience.

Aerith may very well be dead in that timeline, who knows until Rebirth and part 3 honestly. i was 2 years old when FF 7 released originally. so being around for Remake and experiencing the pure hype of FF7, my personal fav of the series. feels good

I don't think it works that way. The Reunion ending is COMPLETELY different from the original ending in so many ways. Between FF7R's revelations as well as Reunion's ending, it's pretty obvious they're trying to bring Zack back and possibly even have Aerith live somehow. She's having premonitions just like Cloud is. I'm thinking they're probably toying around with the idea of Aerith dodging death but eventually succumbing to it as the plot ghosts demand that her death is necessary for things to continue. Honestly, we should just wait and see. Either way I think it's going to be some pretty crazy shit of substantial importance.

Cloud doesn’t act like Zack. He is far from it. Zack is outwardly caring, a dork, and essentric, confident, Cloud is “cool”, reserved, quiet, to cool for school, arrogant. Cloud shares some personality mannerisms but Cloud acts like how he thought he would act as a Soldier not how Zack acts.

If you WERE to give this game a Completionist rating, I guess it would be Finish It!

I also was really disappointed that there wasn't SOMETHING about the remake trilogy in here. I figured they wouldn't do anything big but even a little tease towards Zack's fate or a kingdom hearts style tease for Rebirth would have been really cool

One of the things I thought was really interesting story-wise is that this is the only time we see the real Cloud's personality after he leaves Nibelheim but before Hojo's experiments. The Cloud we see in FF7 is an amalgam of Cloud, Zack, and Cloud's childhood view of what a SOLDIER 1st Class is like. In other words, he's a god dang mess. The FF7 remake does a nice of job of hinting at the remains of Cloud's real self buried under the chunni SOLDIER persona. It was also really cute to see how much Tifa loves Cloud. Her attempts to find out how Cloud was doing by asking if there was an blond SOLDIERs had me smiling. As to the gameplay itself, I honestly think the game was too small for its mechanics. You can easily beat the main story with just the three core elements (thunder, blizzard, fire), a healing spell, a attack command materia, and Barrier. The vast majority of players are never going to see the insane Fusions Jirard showed; hell, they might not even learn you can make Dark/Hell elemental materia yourself. Too much is locked behind the repetitive sub-missions, and I would not be surprised if the majority of players never did more than 20% of them. I really wish they had taken the opportunity to go back and take those DMW scenes and build around them in the main story so that the first time you see that event is in 'real time' rather than a DMW flashback. Maybe take some of those mission maps and stitched them together for missions around those scenes. It's a great game for FF7 fans, but I think it'll fall a little flat with non-fans. It depends too much on the player knowing FF7's story.

While I agree with most of this, I might be the sole exception to your last and second to last sentence. I hated, and still to this day do not like FFVII. However, this is my second or third favorite FF game of all time. Also, yeah I highly doubt most people made it past even 15% of the missions.

A great way to expand and remaster that’s still at its “Core” a portable game. This is how all remasters should be. Most time we get copy paste with better textures.

I'm playing this while I'm watching! I can't believe we finally got a remaster of CC after it languishing for so long on the PSP. Man, this game is so beautiful ;o;

I gotta admit, I’m gonna wait a while before I watch the video, since I just bought the game and want to experience everything myself. But I’ll be back om the other side. Happy Holidays, Jirard and everyone else on the Completionist team :)
