I almost cried

The second half of Crisis Core showed how much he cared for Cloud. Cloud was basically dead and Zack carried him far and wide

He was hyped as fuck 🤣

But he said he hates him a little in japanese)))

@@user-df8lp9zq8s yeah and his tone was that of a joke. Dudes got Cissnei waiting for him, he'll be fine.

I did too... I want to see Angeal and Genesis now.

@@TravaillesDuChanson same! Though I'm not sure how it'd work with Angeal, it'd still be cool to see. I think this moment was the only time I didn't fear Sephiroth in a boss fight. I was way too pumped with the two best bois on the same team. I remember my only reaction being, "oh hell yeah! Let's effing go!!"

I really wished that moment were saved for Part 3’s climax…

Angeal would be proud

I know amazing right?

@@7thheaven-finalfantasy-hip717 Yup

@@maikayee246 He will. I mean, his pupil literally use the Rush Assault as his Limit Break

Angeal in the distance: prove your honor to me

Well he IS a SOLDIER

Can't use the Buster Sword too much...Rust, wear and tear

It's not just Zack punching Sephiroth here. Angeal and the Honor of SOLDIER is here too.

That's because Zack is a first class soldier so he's train in arm and unarmed combat Cloud wasn't he just inherited Zack style and imitated his sword techniques not saying Cloud isn't strong but Zack is on a whole other level

I believe it is a reference to Crisis core too so thats dope

He still lost to an ordinary guy back at the reactor and that is what ticks him the most.

Nah, im pretty sure he divided the worlds again making zack return because he was getting cornered

The ONE time it falters is in the final battle alongside Aerith when he seems genuinely a little annoyed at her interference. "I underestimated you..."

Cloud isn't ordinary, he naturally has very high endurance and super strength. And don't forget Sephiroth was already wounded and more importantly, still human.

​@@katerinakats6911I wouldn't say super strength, but more it was adrenaline and that he was trained as an infantry soldier still so he's probably above average. But the people in this universe are much stronger than any normal human by miles, being able to jump super high and dish out inhuman damage.

If you understand what the whole two worlds deal means, and it is actually not what you think. The one Zack is in is actually in Lifestream meaning that he is dead and seeing what basically could have been. Aerith is dead but she is now one with Lifestream like she was in og compilation, none of what you are seeing is deviating from og vii it is actually adding new lore elements while staying true to canon just like Nomura and devs have said. Trust me I have watched scenes over and over to understand the whole situation here and that is exactly what is going on

@@danielcook7975 Cool. So being dead doesn't really mean anything if people like Zack can just show up to help in fights, or do whatever.

@@danielcook7975 watching scenes over and over doesn’t mean you understand them

​@@zackfair6791Lol at this logic. Outside of exceptional circumstances, Zack can't interact with Cloud on the same plane of existence. Do you people seriously believe FF7 was an atheist work without any afterlife lore whatsoever?

@@catkaboodle So refresh my memory. What was the "exceptional circumstance" that allowed Zack and Aerith to show up at the church at the end of Advent Children?

🤣

well at least it's a big step up from his initial goal in OG FF7 which was super generic destroy the world plot

Safer Sephiroth is gonna be cracked that’s for sure

​@@shadow7179 except that was not his goal. Yeah, he was going to cause a mass extinction, but to continue with Jenova's original goal, get a new planet.

Except Sephiroth didn’t exist in the other time period,Mister Hojo was there instead before Sephiroth was ever born.

All Aeriths? Even the KH version?😱

I was thinking the same thing. I need to go back to my saved file before this fight and switch to the Buster sword. Just finished last night. So good!

This is where I just wish people would stop whinging (for various reasons) and go with it….the Developers have the potential to do so much with Zack, Aerith and co for players who want to play these characters more in the next instalment. And as some have said they already dislike that they've lost Aerith who is their favoured optional fighter. So many possibilities for the next game, especially with how different Zack's fighting style is to Clouds.

He's like aight boys hold up not too fast now

Lol yeah

Yea but they knew, they still made his toolkit elite, & you see in his opening cutscene he has he strength to throw a large ahh pillar too with ease.

It is the best not one of the best

Yes. The dual sworn Angeal Oath "Embrace your dreams-etc" got me so bad

Only for FF7 fans. Other people don't give a damn about this

@@date5960that’s irrelevant and kind of a pointless observation. They said FF7 based, what non-FF7 fans think doesn’t matter. Thinking could do you good in the future! You got this kiddo.

It’s cool but definitely as a sequel and not a replacement for OG. Fanservice that’s kinda badass

Reminds me of someone never mind

​​@@charleskone1446Too soon for a lot of people. I think that killed a lot of people's interest in the JJK manga.

@@charleskone1446 Gojo🤣

@@deathbykonami5487 they meant Vergil or Sukuna 😂 I can’t tell which

@@charleskone1446 the slash that cuts the "world"

he fighting sephiroth, hes serious

@@CloudStrifeZX I imagine this isn't the only time we see Zack draw his sword in the game? Knowing Zack's character he will beat his opponent and seek dialogue first before intending a killing blow. So yeah, Zack would technically be fighting with his sword upside down.

@@wiffmastermase Excluding cutscenes (which he doesn't even fight in them anyways), he draws his sword a total of 3 times for combat: the beginning of the game where he goes to save his timeline's Aerith, the duo fight with him and Cloud vs Sephiroth, and the fight against Sephiroth Reborn. All 3 times, I'd say he's pretty serious. He'd absolutely be serious when it comes to Aerith, so it doesn't surprise me he'd go all out from the start. And I'm sure being face to face with Sephiroth, the man who he saw slaughter and set ablaze and entire village, along with impaling his best friend and then was forced to drag them both to Midgar as a result of Sephiroth's actions (albeit an indirect result due to Hojo experimenting on them for 4 years), I'd say he's pretty damn serious.

I mean if you look at how zack holsters the sword on his back the sharp end is opposite of how cloud holsters it so maybe that’s hinting like he tends to use the dull side

​@@katowoozy3664And dont forget he takes the SOLDIER honor code serious

The devs likely thought that doing all of Sephiroth's phases in the last installment would be too much for the game to handle. Rebirth alone is huge compared to Remake. Can you imagine the amount of time and data it would take to get his Super Nova limit break right? Or the Knights of the Round materia should they put that in? It could break the damn software you're trying to play the game on.

I don't really like that having Bizarro Sephiroth right now is weird this boss is supposed to happen after the reunion is complete and Sephiroth start his transformation to become a god

@@dededede9257 I get that. And it does make you wonder what they're gonna do by the end of the third game. That being said, I can see why SE went the route that they did. The Sephiroth that we've been dealing with for the most part has already gone through the motions and has arguably accended to some capacity. Hell, by the end of Remake, he pretty much took control of many of the Whispers who control Fate itself, and was capable of tossing buildings with his mind. It's not unusual (to me at least) to think that he regained much of his former strength.

@@ThoraxetheImpaile100 Is kinda true that this new Sephiroth look very powerful unlike the original that still healing in north. I'm just a little worried about how they gonna made the final boss rush of part 3 where you have Jenova/bizarro/Safer since they already use one of them

@@dededede9257 I wonder. In the original, the Reunion was restricted simply to Jenova. Rebirth then introduced the idea of a planetary one (I guess?), where the many different timelines converge back into one. Maybe part 3 will see Sephiroth drawing strength from both. After all, one could argue that it was hinted that Zack will still play some role in Cloud's timeline. We are going to have to solve the issue of the paradox created by Remake after all. And if he can draw strength from both Reunions, the Sephiroth we next encounter could very well be stronger than Safer.

Prediction: Cloud will do Multi-verse Omni-slash.

@@flameroad123 I'd be down with that. Several versions of Cloud going to town ripping Seph to pieces?

This Cloud, Advent Cloud, and KH1 Cloud?

Exept that basic mode its Zacks

yeah. zack is a really bad influence for people XD

@@CrissZx78 lol

Whats next? Smash Cloud makes an appearance? Or Kingdom Hearts Cloud?!

Next is Dissidia. Calling it now.

Dlc please i want that suit and the first tsurugi

AC takes place 2 years later and DoC 1 year after that

Ac will be pursued for sure. Lets just pray its faithful

Ou. I didn't notice, but I love the detail.

NOMURAAAA!!

A little square Enix nod. I like it

We didn't win the first time. Sephiroth quite literally was toying with us.

@@Diablo3364 sorry, I meant first game! XD

sorry...what is your greatest hope?

@@francisco24slb1 Zack and Cloud fighting Sephiroth together

Factssss

Dood

He's going to flip

he would be hyped MAD

​@@fernosbonos5394he would be crying and screaming can't wait man

I think Zack is one of the most popular characters in the franchise, that's why they brought him back here, for the fans, by giving him a timeline where he did not die. I think they will have him as full party member in part 3. This is not actually a remake of the OG, it's a sequel of sorts or alternative timeline where fate (OG plot) is being rewritten.

@@Bahamut3525 yes 💯 that's what I think too

He’s a cool guy he deserves the praise

Right? I love how in crisis core he's just this regular guy that's sick of all the BS from the other 1st class soldiers.

​@@Ineedmoney4123He's the only normal person in an insane world

He likely will be.

Him and Vincent Valentine as well.

@urbboirileypennington7979 I mean, obviously Vincent is going to be playable. Same as Cid.

@@SaiyanGamer95 We are years from part 3 though. It probably hasn't even started development.

I think it's become clear that the final party dynamic will be Cloud Aerith and Zack vs Sephiroth

Reminds me of the secret fight with him in KH2. That fight still gives me PTSD. Lol

Man the last phase where he uses two lasers had me killed twice before I figured out that doing combo attacks or limit breaks kill you 😂 (because the damage is usually negated while your doing those attacks but not for this one ig)

I'm pretty sure Cloud knows she's dead in his time, but he's not sad because he knows she's alive in another. (One that is crumbling away, but still.)

​@@the_oc_maniac8972Thats why we gonna have her back when the worlds are merging

He would've made a perfect echo fighter but I think they stopped adding to it years ago

You think this has something to do with omega from dirge of Cerberus it suppose to take all life on earth in the future

⁠@@johnlawful2272that it’s own thing but it still happens in the future regardless The FF7 remakes introduces a multiverse with a alternate reality with branching timelines meaning everything will still lead up to that point unless the devs decided to make it not canonical anymore we’re just gonna have to see guess is it will still remain it last thing that we happened in FF7

@@johnlawful2272I feel that Final Fantasy 7 part 3 will make Jenova more prevalent to the story

This is a terrible fanfic.

NICE

That man named Sephiroth is a real devil

Plot? What plot!?

There is no plot just action

I was screaming

Third game

Imagine if that's what happens in the third game

They ARE fighting OG Sephiroth in Remake and Rebirth.

Probs for the final fight in part 3 where a version of sephiroth in a world sees his crazy self and defies his own fate by stopping the og one

Sephiroth: GOOD I was starting to get bored

That’s actually a nod to the OG game, the final fight between Cloud and Sephiroth and Cloud using Omnislash.

To be fair he REALLY put in the work on this scheme as opposed to last time. He deserves the win more than he did before I mean I'm stilling rooting team good guys because Zack is best boi

Maybe he wants the best timeline and has to destroy or fragment the others to do so "Our Promised Land Will be a Reality"

Prolly Cloud he used it the most

Zack, he can't change his weapon.

@@liuchenen109 cloud can't change it too, all the cgi scenes he is with buster sword, u can only change it in gameplay cause u know rpg

I'd Say all three of them are proficient with it on their own way. Angeal is strong enough not to rely on it Zack wields it in a nonlethal way to preserve the quality Cloud will just straight up slaughter people with it

​@@fumeking701it's a tombstone in the original time line

Sepheroth: cloud we have to do this one more time in 3 years or whenever the devs want to release the last game. But until then I WILL SHOW UP EVERYWHERE YOU GO and when you envitably become a father you repeat my legasy again…….

Aerith: cloud while I was in the afterlife I found the most adorable kid ever named……(camera zooms in on aeriths lips as she says his name) Sora and he called me mom funny right? Cloud: (internally screams till they get family therapy at the gold saucer) And the reason why we never see Sora’s parents is because square Enix took their kid and used him to make a massive collab with Disney. And at the end of the day Sora is still an orphan. Poor guy

@@iangabriel3261 Well that’s excessive but I get the point, wait till Bob Iger gets his hands on this game at some point. Oy Vey, you ain’t seen nothing yet.

I mean, to play devils advocate I don’t think the games make them much money, remake was a fucking money pit being stuck in development hell for damn near a decade. I think it barely broke even. Their main money maker is FF14
