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
@@younglink53 it really isnt pretending if the person actually believes it to be true and thats the thing.
Wait what , they were in this tanks for 5 years?
@@michelgerber5781 belive that's true. It was a long time
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.
Hey, at least he is following the first half of Angeal advice and not using it...
He literally left it where Zack died as a grave marker.
Well Cloud did move it from the cliff to inside the church restored at the end of ACC.
kingdom hearts cloud: I put bandages on it in case it got an ouchie
Even though their scenes are brief, I really love how soft Zack is with Cloud. Zack clearly sees that Cloud is just a very overwhelmed teenager and Zack’s support is one of the few moments of softness Cloud really gets in the series
The quest for 100% Buster Sword Proficiency is insane. Glad to see it was done.
Took me 2 hours tops by killing in 9-6-5 with attacks from stance and 255 str aerial drains from stance. Probably would have been even faster with assault twister+. It's really not hard to do at all.
I honestly love these more in depth Completionist episodes so much more than what we've had for a while. Not that what we've gotten has been bad at all, but I was one of the people that really missed the Spoiler Alert segments from the earlier episodes in the series.
Keep up the great work, Jirard!
yea as someone who cant afford lots of games, i also use reviews to see the story. i absolutely understand you
@@AbigatorM Well it's not even just that. It's mostly me wanting to hear his thoughts about the narrative and how it makes him feel too. Just hearing about what it takes to complete the game is, ironically enough, not a complete experience for me when it comes to his videos. The current format gives me exactly what I want.
That transition to Aerith's Theme at the end was not fair. Warn a man before unleashing that heartbreaking melody! Jokes and emotional dam breakages aside, this was another great video! Thanks for sharing it with us!
One thing I always love so much about CC is that the story always felt for me like it was cut short, a fact that only amplifies the feeling of unfairness and grief for Zack's death. Because his life really was cut short
The day i came home with my PS5 copy I felt a need to pull out my old PSP along side my original Crisis Core copy. 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.
Or maybe because of it.
I’m pretty sure everyone knows this already but a niche detail that you should know is that hair, clothing and personality aren’t the only thing different from Zack and Cloud, the way they carry their sword as well. If you pay close attention, Zack wears it with the silver edge facing inward and cloud wears it facing outward
It’s not a little detail but a lot of people seem to miss it. Zack wears it like Angela, Cloud wears it for easy drawing and sheathing.
Not just that, Zack uses the blunt edge most of the time to cut down maintenance
Yeah yeah we already knew that buddy. Even the way he and cloud land from jumping off the train is mirrored 😂
@@ClassyCrustatio not Angela 💀
@@david-jonballinger6638 angeals unknown sister
So glad that they remade this game. Crisis core was pretty good, but now the combat flows a lot better. Plus it was the perfect time to bring it back with the ff7 remake and all
It's almost like they planned it....
@@Landen247 good plan
Jirard is so close to finishing new game plus! A true baller move to say "you know what, I'll just do it all again"
Pretty awesome to see you covering this. I haven't had a chance to get the new version yet, but I love Crisis Core, and this video is a great surprise for me on Christmas Eve after a very rough month. Thanks for all you do.
The original crisis core is the only game to ever make me cry. The ending was so powerful.
Yes I have been waiting for this one!!! The remaster is so good the gameplay feels so damn good
I absolutely love watching these videos and it’s about time as last week I’ve just finished final fantasy VII crisis core reunion and it’s such an emotional game.
This is definitely a moving story to the legacy of my favourite final fantasy game.
Couldn't be happier to replay this game with such a great update
This is such an incredible analysis on the old vs the new. I especially appreciate the old footage of the PSP version as it is both nostalgic and historic. It's good that I'll always have this video to look back to if I ever want to remember what the old days were like.
Man, I love your Buster Sword replica so much, just seeing it on your shoulder makes me happy
Remember guys:
“Stay honorable, dignified and honest”
I'm waiting for a remake of Dirge of Cerberus. Let's fucking go.
This game is so important to me that it became the first, and one of 3 handheld games I've ever beaten.
I'm not joking Jirard. I am currently being a completionist in this exact game as you posted this! It has been a rough but joyous time just like the Holidays. Hope yours and everyone else is well!!!
Guys, you'll never believe this. People besides Jirard are playing this game that just came out!
@@XXXXX8 It's a Christmas miracle!
Love the thoughtfulness you and the team put into this. This was my first time getting to enjoy the game, and the missions are addictive! And I love the little side stories in them, like meeting Don Corneo’s niece, the hapless SOLDIER 3rd class, and Yuffie! The little surprises outside of the main story make the game so good for me.
Zack: You will be my living legacy.
Cloud: *brain breaks*
Another ABSOLUTELY amazing video Mr Completionist. There's literally nothing on TV I'd choose to watch over you. Your our living legacy.
Dude you’re incredible. Thank you for covering this one. Your reviews are the best
Just got here from your recent episode with game grumps. Just wanted to say I love what you do and it was really fun to watch you play super Metroid. I loved watching you play sonic 3 the last time you were on with Arin and Ross. I love hearing you guys just talk about your lives and experiences. I hope to see you on game grumps again soon and until then I’ll keep watching your content!
Embrace your dreams, and whatever happens, protect your honor....as Completionist!
Happy Holidays Jirard. Have a good new year too. You as a person never ceases to amaze me.
I miss playing this game such a masterpiece I’ve been having such a blast with the remaster.
I had a lot of fun helping with this bud, Team Complete lives on!
Glad you covered most of the trophy guide. Another Minerva strat is to farm SP and then use SP Master
Time to go fight Bahamut Fury in a cave, again, just win the orb that allows for its summoning, again.
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.
Absolute facts, Zach honestly Carries the whole narrative with how enjoyable he is
I don't usually comment, but just wanted to say a phenomenal job. Thank you for making videos. On the IP, we love ❤️
Buster sword proficiency was NEVER bugged. It was simply misunderstood. I easily reached 100% by piercing barriers, guarding in stance, killing enemies from stance, and killing enemies with command materia from stance. When one stopped going up, I moved on to another. It was incredibly simple.
This. It's just the game isn't as straightforward on the specifics on how to increase the rate. People often misses two facts:
1. Unlocking Buster Sword abilities grants an extra bonus to the proficiency rate.
2. Certain abilities are unlocked through conditions other than increasing the rate (i.e. defeating 100 barrier-enhanced enemies unlocks the barriers pierce ability; and defeating 500 unlocks the barrier dispel ability)
I'm happy it doesn't lead to Remake, but Final Fantasy VII. A true prequel.
Having this on my switch lite is so nostalgic. I used to wear my psp around my neck everywhere i went just to play peacewalker, birth by sleep, and crisis core
Im so happy people can experience this game now. My friends and i were OBSESSED with the Sephiroth vs Angeal and Genesis scene. 15 years later i still know it word for word!
Zack’s message and what he stands for, followed me for years since I was a kid. And this game meant so much to me, playing the remake was the most nostalgia inducing experience. The end STILL had me bawling, Zack is such a good person and amazing character. I hope rebirth does him justice like Crisis Core did.
Thanks for making this. Decided to pick the game up on switch. Since I work over full time work weeks, this has been great to play in bed an hour or so at a time before I go to sleep.
A new completionist video feels like hanging out with my best friend in 5th grade.
Been a while since i saw you last good to see you still have the positivity and the quality i remember you for. You my friend were far too good for G4.
I’m glad they made an alternate universe for Zack’s story in the remake of 7.
This is one of the few games where completing it 100% feels casual to me. It was one of the few games I had on the PSP for the longest time, so I would do run after run after run on it.
Still f***** hate half the recast. Not the VAs. Just the voice work. Oh god, when it hits during the banora mission.
I can't wait to start replaying one of my favorite games of all time. I'm glad they didn't decide to completely change it.
I've been waiting to hear Jirards thoughts on this game. What a great gift for the holidays.
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;
Only marginally related, but I didn't know that Before Crisis will get a sort-of remake. That's really nice, I've always been interested in that game's story and characters.
"stay honourable, dignified and honest" That quote aged like milk.
As someone who came away from this experience overall negatively, it was good to see you call out some of the issues I took a little more harshly.
And as always, I'm glad I watched your video to get some perspective that I might have been missing. I'll probably never have the reverence for Zack that so many have, but I do appreciate that he was something more than a 5 minute scene from the original game.
Love these FF7 universe games on modern consoles! Never got to play the og's but main characters i know..from another square enix franchise kingdom hearts.
Naturally i HAD to buy the remake when it was released to learn backstory of cloud, sephiroth, tifa and aerith..didnt really understand the fuss about the final cutscene where zack was show alive. Now i definitely do!
Crisis core reunion was a day 1 purchase for me..and man the story after chapter 6 had me glued on my sofa untill i beat the game 😅
Cant wait for 2023 and remake pt2.
Happy holidays ❤️
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 :)
Can always count on you to voice how I feel bout these classics 💎
I still need to play it! I played the FF7 remake and ended up loving it, so I may play this next! Cheers and rock on!
dude i love these Deeper Dives into the game, the destination is also part of the journey & I'm glad you covere it... shame they didn't use this opportunity to actually add the Loveless play as a Complition bonus , i feel that might have been a nice addition since Genesis doesn't shut up about it
well, i mean... the FF7 game that came out in 2020 is TITLED Remake, but is actually a sequel so is more like "FF7 chapter 5: Remake"
Cloud wasn’t pretending to be Zack
Happy Christmas to everyone!
Merry Christmas!
Embrace your dreams into your face.....One of your best lines ever! I laughed for 2 minutes LMAO! Oi...My early 20's.... 130+ hours into this game. Picked it up for the switch. I wanted the same handheld experience. But I do miss those trophies popping. Still a great experience to relive!
I missed the item pick up in the beginning that you need to come back and finish after the missile minigame!all but 1 achievement! going around to get it. I am having a blast playing it, not upset for a round two.
MERRY CHRISTMAS, JIRARD!!
I've watched your older ff7 documentary like 10 times already. I'm down to watch the new one 10 more times. Gitrdone
I srill love this game that I atill have my copy of the psp version and come back to it every now and again because the story is so good.
FF VII for Christmas! Thanks Santa Completionist!
Loved this game! Can’t wait to play the new one.
Chuck should be proud
I like how a friend describes Zack. He is the main hero of the story who dies early on and Cloud is the one who carries on the Hero's ideals and dream
I may be wrong but when cloud stabs Sepihroth smoke comes out of the wound just like when Barrett got stabbed in ff7 remake, like the whisperers were protecting Sepihroth from dying just like they did with Barrett. cloud also get protected when he's stabbed ,you can see the smoke coming from his wound, how else would he be able to lift Sepihroth on the wrong side of a katana lol
This remaster finally let me play this game and it was more than worth the wait. I didn’t think it was possible but it made me even more exited for Rebirth.
What I'm waiting for in the series is for there to be a new section where the team infiltrate Deepground and after defeating Weiss, they hear footsteps coming from nearby and all they hear is "My soul, corrupted by vengeance." and then for one of the hardest fights in the series to start... sounds a bit too far-fetched but if you follow the lore, you know Genesis is in Deepground and that killing Weiss appears to be the thing that sets him free.
Price of Freedom still makes me tear up in my 30's.
Currently struggling with Minerva lol
Also don’t forget that you can skip battle encounters by hugging walls, good for quickly clearing easy missions and getting items from those missions
I dont know what to comment but i like this channel so much
Wow amazing video 😻 im looking to complete this game too
Didn't know this was out
At first I thought you were playing the FromSodt Crises Core but then saw the thumbnail and learned about this game existence.
I have never been so early for an episode in my life xD
Jared you gotta play chained echoes. You'll love it
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.
I prefer it that way. It means we can use this as either a tie in to the original story or to the new story. Our interpretation is left to us.
@@Dark_Jaguar I feel like they intentionally did this to confuse new players who only played Remake and wanted answers as to who Zack is... like; "Oh, here's that fight where he kills all of those Shinra Troopers and we actually get to play it? Cool." and then by the end it's like "Wait... wait no, he lived this, didn't he? What's going on?" The directors are intentionally trying to troll the new players and I'm all for it.
Completey Pete will never not be one of my favorite RUclipsrs. Long live Jermane the Finishist.
Jirard "Dragonrider" mfing Khalil returns to his FFVII throne (made of Chocobo bones). Great video man!
8-year-old me lost to any of its adult isusses. 31-year-old me, my mind blown... all the depth in the story and game play. FF7 is my favorite.
🤯 🤯 🤯 🤯 🤯 🤯 🤯
Pro tips in this video! Materia fusion flex and the 100% pro efficiency. Need to figure out materia fusion more
Another excellent video
Great video. Final Fantasy Crisis Core looks like it's well Made remake.
Just rolled credits so I can finally come watch this video. There seems to be an editing error at 21:56, Jirard goes from talking about materia fusion then jumps to mid sentence "...in Soldier"
I still love that intro.
Guess it's time for a Zack Attack huh Completionist? Merry Christmas or whatever you celebrate man. You're the reason I play games the way I do.
I cried at the end of this game when I originally played it on the PSP.
Zack doesn’t lay sword on surface of face. He held it upright: coolest and most symbolic stance and phrase.😮
I was definitely skeptical of the DMW when I first played it but honestly its fun and I loved leveling up that way.
I still have and wear my "embrace your beard" shirt from the original look at this game!
Same here~! the pattern has survived exceptionally over the years, one of the highest quality 'merch' shirts i've ever owned.
Working the closing shift on christmas eve. Thanks for making it less boring
i got the game an switch simply for the handheld nostalgia and let me tell you, 12 yo me has absolutely fucking ASCENDED i love Zack the puppy so much. I got the PSP solely for Crisis Core, only to then forget it in a rented car a week later and never see it again. Broke my heart back then, so im absolutely excstatic about the remake
That buster sword is awesome
The second you get your own G Fuel flavor is the second I’ll actually try it
Idk if Jirard already is planning on tackling this game, but I’d love to see him cover SIGNALIS. I only started it tonight, but it seems like a fun game.
I'm slowly trekking away in this game missed a good bit of trophies but that's ok I know I will get it eventually
Gonna have to remember that on my Switch copy of Crisis Core. quake + libra + 98 of an item = fuse same quake + chocobo feather = breaking the game. Thanks Capn!
nice to see Jirard cover this once again like no one else can
I honestly love this game😍😍
