[@sujimatsubackupaccount194]

Will he ? SE is trying to make a timeline where he lives. Meaning the timeline of Aeriths death is gone. The tragic emotions Barret had to go through would be un cannon even by ff7 remake standards. Do you see a hugh issue with the ff7 crisis core remake? Adding in most people dont like what SE is doing and the new va of Zack just sounds woefully miss casted . The remake still uses a tone of old animations and assets from the psp. So, as remakes go. the $50 is way to much. Given most models are ports from ff7 remake . If you ignore those and the slot machine system in the remake seems to play a lesser role when compaired to the psp. New players just wont get the same emotions we did on the psp. New ff7 fans will sadly get the same treatments as kingdom hearts fans who watched the hd movie collection and not played the movies they were based on, SE is doing alot of harm in this remake that should have been left in better hands to be honest.

This is Zack's final wish to Cloud, his living legacy. Zack sees Cloud the opposite of how Sephiroth does: he sees the true him; he knows Cloud just needs to accept himself. Sephiroth sees Cloud as nothing --- a puppet, a means-to-the-end.

[@SF-pj6xv]

[@sanisadikovic]

That is so true ❤

[@Nelly_Dee]

"Why is everyone...always pushing things on me?" -Zack Fair I see some comments saying this is for Cloud but I believe it's for Sephiroth, Angeal and Genesis. I feel that if this was for Cloud it would be more encouraging and not as questioning. "Having the entire world at your fingertips, is that what you consider happiness?" Doesn't fit Cloud like it does Sephiroth. I just feel like every line that could fit Cloud could fit one of the others better. The ending could just as easily be a blessing to Genesis turning a new leaf over and trying to be a hero again, as it could for encouragment to Cloud, "Why? Are you so concerned with the way you look?" Could be as much about Angeal thinking he is a monster as it could be about Cloud's image of a First. I just feel it makes more sense for Zack to scream WHY at those three then it does Cloud.

[@echo1736]

We knew... we knew he was going to die, we knew his journey was ending, we knew (Okay not everything) what he went through but yet we still played, we still went through his story, we still tried to save him in the end, but we failed, we cried, we remember him for who he was. Zack Fair, First-Class Soldier, best friend of Cloud Strife, loved by Aerith, and the best hero that became a legend in the series.

[@BeautyMarkRush]

I literally fought until I've used everything. Every item, every single potion, I really tried to save him and hope for an alternate ending just so he could see Aerith one last time. But then... The most painful part was seeing his memories being wiped out little by little. It's my biggest fear and I was witnessing it happen to Zack. Little by little he forgot his allies, his friends, both old and the new ones he met along the way. He forgot his mentor and closest friend, and then, finally, the last memory he had was Aerith's. And that too was gone on a whim. I was still trying to fight the soldiers but then it hit me: why I was still fighting? That thought, to this day, makes me shed tears. Never I had felt such a deep connection to a fictional character, to the point of trying literally everything to bring him home safe and sound. I bought Reunion, and I'm still afraid to go through it all again.

[@SelfDestructionWorldwide]

I played this game a long time ago for the first time. I was like 14 years old. I loved Zack, he was like the big brother I always wanted. I did every sidequest with him. I have never before cried so heavily at the end of this game. It was exactly the same feeling when a close person dies + the way he died + the realization he will never see Aerith again and vice versa. When I played this game a second time I knew what would come and I cried exactly the same way. They truly made a good job making this game as tragic as possible.

And most of all, Zack not being able to see Aerith again for the last time when Midgar is in plain sight.

I related so much with this game. We all signed up for different reasons, in zacks case he fought to be a hero, but in the end he was fighting for his friends. Most of us signed to protect our country and fight for it. But on the battle field, we fight for our brothers and sisters who stand beside us. Hearing this song brings tears to my eyes because of the relationship that was formed playing through zacks story and seeing him grow. No other game has had a impact on me like this game has.

The true hero

[@Leon-hp1ie]

I know this song is dedicated to Zack becoming a hero, but I hold this is a personal song. I lost my best friend nine years ago when I was only 12. She always encouraged me to keep pushing on, even when things didn’t go my way or times just got tough. I saw what happened, and I saw her final moments. It one of the worst pains I have experienced even to this day. I remember being there on my knees, looking so lost, just like cloud when Zack passed. I knew I’d never get to spend that time with her ever again, never getting to tell her how much I loved her. The morale of my story is, don’t ever go without telling someone how you truly feel. Whether that may be a friend, someone you want to be with or a family member. You never know when the last time you will get to hug them or say words to. I know this was a pretty personal thing to post, but I just want people to understand, you can let people know, they were your hero, before it’s too late.

What really gets me about the picture in this video is that Zack's eyes are red. You can tell he was crying recently. Seeing someone as strong hearted and positive as him hurting internally just doesn't feel fair. Zack deserved the best in life and was handed such an unfair fate. He always tried to mask his anxieties and pain over what happened over the course of the game and largely does. But in this picture you can really see how much of a toll the events of crisis core took on Zack. Rest In Peace to a true hero.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth ❤️

[@DuncanDunn]

"Hey, would you say I became a hero?" that line with this song really gets me

[@HupCapNinja]

One week to go… let’s make this Reunion a great one!

[@gabrielbichon5101]

I can't stop listening this music

[@dragonarch0]

Same

[@cypheraine17]

Every time I hear this song, I still feel the sadness I first felt after finishing this game. Damn.

[@Torinna_]

Crisis Core never blew me away with it’s gameplay, but the story and music were phenomenal. I just finished the remaster for the first time and enjoyed it a lot more than I initially did

[@Daniel-qg2ng]

Even after 11 Years I will never forget Zack Fair and his ambition to be a Hero. In Real Life he is like a Person that helps a lot of people whatever happens and that should be a good Exaple for every Person in this World ❤

[@alumlovescake]

It may be years apart but you can really tell it is the same person as the Tales of arise song

[@crystalpeaches7825]

welcome back, hero

[@joshuamarc8773]

Everytime when I remember my 12 or 14 year old self playing this game and seeing how Zack died and then 3 or 4 years later I see him and Aerith standing at the churchs door watching over Cloud I cry my fucking heart out man

[@queenmichi__6853]

My heart will always ache, Zack you will eternally be my favorite. I am SOBBING

[@G.Kisaragi]

I'm glad to see this song is still on the Crisis Core remake.

[@tipsquevalenorohace13anos58]

Remaster no remake

[@boxtupos7718]

This song might be Zack looking at Cloud from the Lifestream; Even quite literally. As Cloud is trying to act and look cool, he drops the Gold from the Buster Sword to be less flashy, takes off the SOLDIER shoulder pads and replaces that with a metal pad with bolts and his ditches his gloves for those metal, gears and bolts "gloves".

[@mutebanshee]

He also only wears one shoulder pad, which I took as a symbol of incompleteness. He isn't a real 1st class Soldier after all.

[@rivers5628]

I can only imagine the satisfaction Zack felt when Cloud finally came to terms with his real identity

[@TriggeredRuby]

My mom died today. This song just hits so different now. And the lyrics are very much real to me now

[@slydiaz7887]

sorry bro stay strong ❤️

[@atheniastanford4889]

Sending so so much love. If you need to vent I’ll listen. Stay strong

[@elliotskaleski7428]

This song still makes me tear up.

[@tisko102]

I cried the first time I beat this game on the psp cause damn it hurt. Years later when it came out for the ps4/5 I beat it again...but cried for a different reason. I lost my little brother shortly before I did and when he was alive we would talk about the game when he borrowed it on the psp. I cried because I'll never get to talk to him or see him again. I miss you little brother

[@hageshiiame]

Finally a good translation of this song! this has to be the best one ever on all the FF made.

[@jessiemiller1612]

just started introduce myself in FF7 ended Crisis Core with full of tears, Zack doesn't deserve it

[@Limebradley]

Way till you play rebirth mate I won’t spoil anything but I’ll say after the first ten mines I had to stop for half hour because I couldn’t deal with it lol

[@SirDrexler]

Me playing rebirth Son of the bitch (Hughes) i’m so happy to see you again Zack 🥹

[@Archeon233]

Zack: "Would you say I became a hero?" Me: Yes Zack... Yes you did. 🥺

[@monkeydjimmy5169]

I am *in love with this song and a BIG THANK YOU for translating this mate* *You have my* #Respect

[@nexik9426]

Can't believe I cried to this song every f time especially when you realized it was Zack's final wish for Cloud when he gave his all and last for Cloud just to see his smile once more time. This set the tone so much better for Advent Children.

[@shiroutheherotraceon3313]

Time to cry again.

[@sirendafox6463]

If this song is in the remake I’m going to be a very happy soul

[@noticemesenpai69]

I hope you’re happy 😊
