The Story of Zack Fair (Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII) | Honest Gaming History

[@TheMallachiv]

zack is the most underrated character in the whole final Fantasy 7 roster

[@TheBlackMastadonte]

Agreed

[@JDonoho]

I wouldn’t say that, he was a minor character that was so badass they made a game about him, I wouldn’t consider that underrated

[@tytar2132]

@@TheBlackMastadonte not really in Japan he’s more popular than cloud

[@tyking33]

Hands-ology is the only real course

HANDSOLOGY THE BEST

[@LuckiSir]

Mad respect to Zack for staying optimistic all this time, even in death he did it with a smile...

[@mikebearthegamer1365]

.... handsology is something I'm studying rn so.... donte right.

[@xXTheCrazedWolfXx]

Zack is forever and always my favorite final fantasy character, can't tell you how many times I played that final fight hoping that if I did good enough he'd live.

[@TheBlackMastadonte]

We need Zack back

[@Pappa958]

Zack is one of the BEST characters in gaming history no one can debate this after all he went through not ONCE was he selfish

[@MrLung1991]

My first interaction with zack was when i watched a griend play ff7 and the twist came up with cloud and him being his mentor and all and i was like „ WHO THE F CARES ?“ then i did some diggin and MAN THAT BOY DESERVES RESPECT like HOLY SHIT MAN

[@chriss.249]

I'd say him and ZERO from Megaman X are both really good characters🔥💯

[@neppingofneps7406]

chris S. Now I like to see him try out X and Zero. Also hi

[@chriss.249]

@@neppingofneps7406 Yeah, I been wanted an Ep for x and zero And hello lol

[@SuperHaoken]

Zack is boring. He has no really dept, never struggles and he somehow influences many important character of FF7. Anyone who knows Before crisis knows that CC fucked Aerith and Cloud's personalities .

[@godofdeath4eva]

Zack was a true soldier and a true hero

[@TheBlackMastadonte]

Facts

[@ashtonhunt13]

"The twelve feet of broken that is sephiroth's sword" 🤣😂🤣😂🤣

[@zackitachi1]

I adore Zack. Honestly my favorite fictional character in any medium.

[@TheBlackMastadonte]

I respect it

[@MrDarksol]

Shit I miss Zack so much! He was a good boy through and through and he stuck to what he believed in. He will always be one of my favorites with remake Cloud right next to him. Great job and can't wait to hear about Cloud next week!

[@swag_p2688]

Broo Zack is one of the best characters i've ever played. I cried so much when he died cuz he deserved a happy ending.

[@solracstormhunter3023]

Zack is the best and most complete character in all Final Fantasy. It's fucked up how the most awesome characters just die and give everyone watching an emotional crisis (I'm looking at you Ace...).

[@ihscomics2432]

Ace death was one of the saddest deaths in one piece...

[@tyking33]

@@ihscomics2432 right when you think he's made Oda wanted you to put a condom on your heart because he's gonna fuck your feelings

[@FireFistAce.]

funny how Zack is my favorite ff character and Ace my favorite anime character lol

[@WeebKingdom]

Zack is top tier

[@TheBlackMastadonte]

Hell yeah

[@rodneycharles4007]

My thing is that my man Zack had a whole girl that he tried his best to be with and protect but then gets killed before he can get her back and now his protege is coming at his girl Just tragic bro

[@TheBlackMastadonte]

Yup. I always that though sheet was wild

[@Naarii14]

Law Lee to be fair, Cloud isn't doing much to "come at" Aerith. It's really all just Aerith taking the lead on that lul. And we all know what happens to Aerith...

[@rodneycharles4007]

@@Naarii14 Yeah I guess you could see it that way

[@mikebearthegamer1365]

10:09 is that...... an ff7 machinabridged reference?.... donte I love you even more now.

[@trevincarroll5978]

Zack was a insanely dope character. This man took on an army and came out on top, went through the most and still died with a smile on his face, then past on his legacy

[@edgelord8337]

Tbh he should have been an echo for cloud in smash ultimate. He's deserved it. If they added chrom they could have added our boi zach. But they didn't. Missed opportunity.

[@Kortegard0341]

Or an alt costume

[@GMdelsXT9]

15:11 - Pretty much sums up half of Zack's adventure.

[@crusixangel9513]

Yeeees!!!! ZACK!!!! one of my favorite game characters. He was so mysterious when playing the original ff7. I always wondered who he was. What was his story. I wondered this for literal years when the psp game was released and I got my answers

[@richcaor]

I was just about to get started on Crisis Core, saw your video on my subscriptions and just added it to my "watch later" list so I wouldn't get spoiled, but later decided to watch it anyway and man was it a good choice! The way you narrated the story got me hyped, thankyou for that bro. BTW your channel is way to underrated, hope you get all the love you deserve. Cheers all the way from Mexico. Buen trabajo Mastadonte!!

[@Artik_Masterson]

"and then a wild sephiroth appears"

[@samuelkibunda6960]

I'd like to see a sane sephiroth

[@jacobmorta3047]

I'm still confused on why this guy haven't reached a million subs already. He uploads good content containing anime, gaming and comedy while others get a million subs just cause they're celebrities while no one watches their videos cause of their shit content. Mastadonte is underated as fuck.

[@_Adjei_]

I agree. He deservers much better.

[@TheBlackMastadonte]

I appreciate you bro

[@AutumnLovingPallette]

OK I’m new to this gem of a channel. I maaaaay have commented on your 10/10 Cloud Strife video about stanning Zack before watching these glorious 22 minutes of pure Zack stannage!! I’d say Cloud’s story is actually more interesting, but Zack’s joyful and determined personality from the get-go (and his character development after) is one of the best in video game character history. He deserved so much better than what he got, and yet never complained about his lot... PLEASE SQUEENIX LET THE BOI LIVE AND REUNITE WITH HIS FOREVER-GIRL AERITH IN FFVII:REMAKE PART 2+

[@TheBlackMastadonte]

Thanks so much lol. And yes I had to cover Zack before i did Cloud. Without Zack there is no Cloud. And I personally connected more with Zack as a character. I'm still waiting for the Crisis Core remake we rightfully deserve

[@thejackniles9006]

You gonna include Advent Children in the cloud vid? Zack comes in clutch there.

[@TheBlackMastadonte]

Hell yeah. I watched that movie MAD times when I was younger.

Guys! Don't miss this! Zack just got *THROWN WAY OFF GUARD* when Aerith answered "Yeah" to Zack's "You just want to spend more time with me, right?" With Aerith even saying its a date, even tho she dismissed the idea. She's one sneaky girl a'ight, and I love it! Just a great couple overall. Let's wait for disc 2 fellas! Edit: And I think, Zack is the only guy gutsy enough to shout at Sephiroth. Man, what a Chad!
