"did i became an hero"? Yes you did 😭, yes you diiiiid 😭😭😭😭
You just had to make me cry today😢my Boi. Couldn't he get a happy ending too?
Zack is my absolute favorite character in all of FF, and probably my favorite protagonist, period. He really does embody the spirit of a Hero, and that's why it's always stung so hard how his and Aerith's story ended (incidentally she is my #2)
Just as a little andendum to #5, Tidus also happens to be Zack's Force Time partner in Dissidia: Opera Omnai, which after watching this is just that much more fitting wow.
Oh and as one final really cute fact: Zack and Aerith's Japanese voice actors are married IRL.
THEIR VOICE ACTORS ARE MARRIED NO WAY ARE YOU SERIOUS OH YM GOD I
@@notoriousalien Calm down lol and yes, their Japanese VA's have been married for a few years now.
@@Malacite let me be happy damn bruh
liked the editing, "Zacks influence on Cloud and Aerith's personalities and destinies and eventual fate" *on screen: a zezty cactuar does a little tapdance jig before spike attack*
Do you know what is Zack Fair's favorite materia?
Holey.
Damn😂
Heal...oh, wait.
Damn bltzz thats savage 😅😊😊
3:39 You left out the biggest thing that most people don't know. This scene wasn't actually in the original Japanese release. It got added in later in Final Fantasy VII International and also for the English/European release.
Love the use of the softer version of Judgement Day in the video. A truly underrated gem of the FF7 OST in my opinion. Understandable since it’s only used once at the tail end of the game and with an OST packed full of memorable songs but I personally think it’s one of the best songs of the soundtrack.
I first played FFVII with my sister, who was less of a completionist than me, and thus we didn't see all the flashbacks, and I had to play again on my own to get clear on who Zack was. He became my favorite character, and now I have a much-loved Zack plushie that my sister's youngest son likes to talk to. She STILL is confused about who Zack is, LOL.
Zack has been my favorite FF character for as long as I remember. Thanks for this video!
They should of brought back zack’s original voice actor in rebirth
None of the of voice actors have returned even sephiroth is a new actor and its working great so far 😅 @@isaacmettle
I'm a JP dub player and I always wondered why they pronounced it like "Zakkusu" instead of "Zakku" which would be more accurate for Zack, so I assumed it might have been a similar problem like the Aeris/Aerith mistranslation. Thanks for pointing that out! Also thanks for bringing Kenichi Suzumura into the spotlight, I honestly can't imagine a better voice for Zack
I get the feeling Nomura really loves SuzuKen, since he also got him to voice Jack in Type-0 and Demyx in KH. imo, his voice makes him the star of every scene he's in.
It’s pretty interesting to find out a lot of Zacks story was already written which makes sense because it seems like the most solid part of the compilation. I feel like the two biggest flaws of it were 1: trying to give fans what they felt fans remembered about 7 vs what it actually was like and 2: having to make so many projects in a such short succession.
The soldier who killed him was called Chaos. Jack was right. Chaos ruins everything.
Looking for this and cannot find it anywhere
r/whoosh@@Christopher-wg6ug
@dansmith1661 yeah, I believe I understand, but only after my original comment 🤣
Where did you get this information? The only thing I know is that Zack is killed by Tree Troops of shinra after Zack fought an entire army of shinra
@@egyptiandefender9232 My source is that I made it up.
I thought you would talk about Rick Gomez audition in topic 6, since he was the perfect english voice for Zack! I cannot get used to the new voice actor. His portrayal made Zack the best video game character for me
Well. Now I know why Zack's FR attack in DFFOO includes Tidus. Well... A more concrete reason at least.
8-He's a fan favorite,9-He once has an owesome voice.
He still does, Kenichi Suzumura is a great voice actor.
@@JKSmith-qs2ii Yeah,the original voice actor have balls.
Zack is a little special to me. Partly because of not getting into gaming until I was 19 in 2003, I didn't feel any connection to FFVII, and also had a terrible time with the combat. I couldn't handle the ATB, and even after gaining years of experience with ATB, the furthest I could play through was to the towers.
The thing is when I got my PSP, it was suggested that I get Crisis Core. I was unsure of it, but I ended up loving the game so much that I replayed it multiple times, up to the point of maxing out the time stamp of the save file. It is thanks to Zack that I stayed with FFVII up to the point of fully completing Remake and enjoying it.
P.S. I seriously wish now that I had kept the complete used copy that was in prestige condition that I got for $19.99 at GameStop in 2005 XD
Dude you cannot mention Zack facts and Suzumura without mentioning that he's married to Sakamoto Maaya, the Japanese voice actress for Aerith
The train breaking a crossing bar irks me so much. They don't go across the tracks, but parallel to thrm!
me? gongaga
cries
Live….for the both of us!
Great video as we get more knowledge on Zack.
Live the video. Zack is one of my favorite ff characters period and now that i know he was made from tidus personality another one of my favorites I just love him that much more
I remember hearing once that Zack's design was a actually a recycle from Cloud's very first draft.
The most important fact that you didn't know was Zack beat god because side missions are canon :)
Awesome stuff!
Almost 300k! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Ok, so trading card that says "Zack's Portrait" the s is possessive in that line. So it still looks like they use the name Zack instead of Zax. But I guess that all depends on the others. Is it Cloud's portrait or just Cloud portrait?
The original sephiroth idea sounds very interesting
Everybody loves an underdog!
All of these facts is really good especially the fact of number 5 and 6! ☺️
Clive's voice actor is so good.
The fan clubs do kinda pike massive holes in cloud's whole soldier first class identity. If there are do few that they are prsctically celebrities its really odd nobody caught on sooner. I guess there could be more anonymous members lore wise. Buts its still odd with how public facing they are in crisis core.
To me, the most surprising thing is finding out that the Director of Final Fantasy VII didn't even know Zack existed!
I knew there had to be some sorta connection between Zack and Tidus, although I never knew it was intentional, interesting!
Best fucking name for Zack I've heard.
please do a top 7 Final Fantasy plot twists
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Zack is by far the most interesting character in the FF VII compilation. He has true depth and is actually likeable compared to most of the other characters within the series. Even some of the more iconic characters seem so flat and one-dimensional by comparison. I'm thrilled that he might come back, but I'm worried his return/revival might weaken his incredible showing of character in his final sacrifice. Fingers crossed that SE does him justice...
Complementing Zack? Take my like 👍
In the Franchise…. Also he is in many polls the most liked
I would not have expected you to say "Taidus"
I always thought his last name was Knightblade, but I think that was cause of some early internet Geocities website
Why do you think they didn't add that last part of Crisis Core to Reunion? Storage wouldn't have been an issue and I'd assume money wasn't either after Remake's release in 2020.
With CC Reunion, they had a golden opportunity to implement the extended Zack and Cloud escape content, unburdened by the limitations of the PSP and giving this remake even more of a reason to exist. But they didn't...
Zack is the most my favorite character of all FF7, I didn't play FF7 , and Crisis Core and zack are the reasons that made me love FF7
i said this on any video relating zack and crisis core but this is the game that inspired me to have my own dream, cause back before entering college i don't have a dream or goal i always relied on my parents on what they decide my future was, the quote embrace your dream if you wanna became a hero you need to have a dream inspired me a lot" im dream is now achieved my parents was furious at 1st but now they learn to accept the path the choose, the only sad part is the remake of crisis core instead of rick gomez voicing zack celeb cant portrait zack sometimes i feel they choose celeb because his voice is sound like closer to the japanese VA of zack, and i still hope that there will be some mod of crisis core where rick gomez voices zack since he really can portrait zack
I wish he had his own Limit Breaks instead of some of the goofy stuff they gave him in Crisis Core.
I actually did know a few of these! 😜 Really happy to know Zack was based on Tidus (totally checks out) and how his Japanese voice actor got picked, that guy really is perfect for Zack. Meanwhile, they can’t seem to get Zack’s voice right in English, even though they’ve had several chances. 😅 Wonder why???
Did you know that Zack Fair is from Gongaga?
am I the only one who watches pretty much everything they make that doesn't really know what their "typical granular style" means? 😂
Haha, it just means that we often choose to go into a lot of depth around the topics we cover. Thanks for the comment Joe :) ~Darryl
@@FinalFantasyUnion Ironically, I just beat Crisis Core for the first time last week! You clearly read my mind!
I cannot stop picturing Zack as an idiot because of his new voice actor, but still, I do look forward to seeing how his story will continue in Rebirth. There's a lot of ideas I can think of that could be very interesting.
Like what if Cloud and Zack are friends again and we get more scenes between them? Or he could potentially try to kill Cloud because his girlfriend is dead... okay, that makes no sense. Sorry, I'm thinking of Spider Man 3 while writing this, lol.
But still, anything could happen.
I swear if Zack dies instead of Aerith I'll be big sad
I won't. I like Zach but Aerith has been my favorite since 1997.
I only knew two!
you cant just causaly drop that my fave FF character (zack) is inspired from my favourite game of all time (FF 10) my mind is blown lol
I know that the remake of CCFFVII is nice but please use more scenes from the original psp game when talking about Zack 😅
Zack does no wrong he is the best character
Zack is my favourite character in the FF7 subseries. I'm pretty sure I would regard Crisis Core much less favourably (due to its convoluted plot and over the top villain) if not for Zack and his infectious friendliness. When I get to the end, I know Zack won't make it, but a part of me always hopes against hope that he will defy fate and survive.
I think a lot of people agree with me and that's why Zack will be in Rebirth.
(though it will be funny to see the Cloud/Aerith shipper have a meltdown if the game has Zack and Aerith end up together)
I didn't play ffvii. I was devastated at the ending
After all these years of listening to you & Lauren it is so strange to hear you pronounce Tidus as "Tie-dus" instead of "Tee-dus".
I understand that some people may be upset that Zach is alive 😠, but personally, I prefer happy endings 😊. However, there is a possibility that Tifa and Cloud may not survive 😔.
Zack’s?
Zack’s?!
ZACK’S?!?!!!
🤦🏻♂️
Isn't it pronounced Teedus?
Zack just seems like a typical, comfortable, confident, privileged white boy with stereotypical white boy problems. This is the only aspect i'm concerned about with rebirth but obviously i'm gonna have to learn to like it. oh well. maybe i'll change my mind later.
Let's be honest, Septh and Aerith would make a hot couple
I want to like Zack….. hopefully Rebirth can make me
Tee-dus*
In recent time i was indriffren to now hate this cahrater, and i dont hate the charater itselft ,is whats around him .
His a side charater ,nothing more or less, but now he become the ``shark`` of this fanfic trilogy
We don't know what role Zack will have in Rebirth, let alone "confirmed he will have a major part".. I think you might've jumped the gun there, but otherwise insightful as usual!
There have been interviews released recently confirming Zack will have a large part in Rebirth, but with no confirmation of how as of yet. February needs to get here faster.
??? Are you trolling
The head Devs have in fact confirmed this in ~many~ interviews. Especially on their current world tour. There’s no gun to jump, except the mystery that Max Dood predicted years ago of how Rebirth (which he also predicted/practically named) will be like “The Empire Strikes Back.” This is from one of the latest interviews at a big French gaming event (I forget the name of, sorry).
Considering Zack's popularity, it was always fair to assume (ever since the DLC was released) that he would play a major role in Rebirth. Even without confirming information, it is fair to assume that.
@@TAHOEkaleidonaut "Making the middle part of a trilogy has its own challenges, but there are plenty of classic second installments in the world of film that are defined by stunning story twists and deeper explorations of their characters. Often these second installments become a favorite amongst the fans."
What did you think Kitase was talking about when he said that if it was such a huge prediction? I thought of literally nothing else. The "I am your father," scene is probably the biggest twist reveal in all of Hollywood cinema.
anything SE isn't real, as the 5 godfathers of FF were no longer part of the franchise.
Zack is just a side character and plot device people like because his game in the series had shiny new graphics for the intellectually vapid. His presence in the story this early basically cripples the final fantasy 7 experience for a newcomer. The real proof we live in a multiverse is the fact we live in a world where final fantasy vii remake isn’t a remake at all. Surely there is a universe out there where hironobu sakaguchi is the boss at square still and nomura is just doodling on paper like he should
He’s dead
He's back now cope.
The Future Has Changed.
Man, the remake is pretty and the gameplay is fun. But the script is so bad, Zack surviving is a prime example.
I’d say it’s some of the dialogue/delivery that’s bad, if at least awkward, & not so much the rest.
Though it’s what definitely what happened when placing Zack - an upbeat character like a tall glass of iced sweet tea - next to a bunch edge lords who likely drink their coffee black… Or in the drama king/Genesis’ case it’d likely be a Starbucks Secret Menu drink with some specifics. 🤣
Poor Zack is just a kind high school jock who’s trying to make sense of the world/people that Shinra/Jenova has poisoned to some degree.
Nobody cares
I personally don't appreciate how they are throwing Zack into everything these days. I much preferred him as a minor character, the dark version of Cloud both in hair and attitude. Zack Ignores Tifa when she is fatally stabbed at Nibelheim, he doesn't communicate with his parents in 10 years and he only wants to visit Aerith so that he and Cloud will have a place to stay, deciding against it as soon as he remembers that her Mother will be there.. It made perfect sense in the original game as Cloud was an asshole because Zack was an asshole and Cloud's personality was taken from Zack. But Crisis Core made Zack a really nice guy out of nowhere, completely butchering his established character and the reason why Cloud was such a jerk in the fist half of the game. So now it makes zero sense as to why Cloud acts the way he does at the beginning of the game.
For those that haven’t played FF7OG, Zack is the same as he is in CCFF7. I think this guy needs to replay OG. Zack is seen caring about the guys in the truck that are carsick. Still doing his squats and excited about the next big mission. Zack was worried about Tifa being in team while going to the reactor. Zack busted him AND Cloud out of the mako tanks. Zack carried Cloud and protected Cloud for a long time till he couldn’t anymore. Zack is still Zack in all the games. Cloud is a jerk all on his own in the OG beginning.
Zack being member 012 is great.
Because that's a good Dissidia nod :-P
