@@GF-mf7ml I used to laugh about that line too, but given everything Cloud went through in his life, I cannot help but understand why his psyche is blocking Zack. Cloud would just fall apart if he remembered he lost the only person who treated him as a friend first, colleague second.
Zack is proof that you can have a wholeheartedly good character who doesnt have major characters flaws but still feel just as human and emotionally complex as more tragic characters like Cloud, Tifa and Sephiroth.
2024, and i still haven't emotionally recovered from "Cloud, you are my living legacy" only to learn Cloud doesn't end up remembering him until later in the game. Crisis Core was the first game I ever played and haven't really picked up another game since.
This shit HURTED, SO MUCH. I didn't expect to cry much if at all seeing this ending, especially after seeing Remake's ending. But holy shit, Nomura knows how to tear at the heartstrings. It's even more effective when you consider that a LOT of your battles throughout the game are against escaped experiments or Genesis or Angeal monster clones, and now you're in their same shoes, being hunted down by your previous colleagues, some of which you may have even been friends with like Kunsel or Luxiere. The Angeal dog that appears in the slums church to guard Aerith and then later defends Lazard and Cloud while Zack fights Genesis beneath Banora further ties into this, that monster had thoughts and feelings and a purpose, same as the other monsters you've been slicing open, burning, and freezing all game, same as Zack. The story makes a point to bring up what divides humans from monsters- Sephiroth became a monster through his actions, Zack and Cloud became monsters due to their circumstances and how they were portrayed by Shinra, Genesis became a monster by choice to try to re-enact LOVELESS as a prophecy. Seeing Angeal appear to Zack to take him to the Lifestream, represented as an ascent to Heaven, oh my God that shit broke me. Angeal is the only major player in Crisis Core to become an angel instead of a monster.

i still remember it till this day how i played it, back in the days on the PSP. I already knew what would happen because of the movie and FF7..but, i tried so hard to not let it happen! I wasn't giving up, to protect his honor! I fought for over an hour or so..i really thought there could be a hidden ending. But some things, are inevitable...i've never cried so much after a game and i don't regret it. This Game was a Masterpiece for its story telling.
I remember Crisis Core was my first FF game. I got stuck (mainly cuz I didn't know English at the time) at building Aerith's flower wagon and didn't know what else to do, so I stopped playing it When I became older and knew RUclips had the rest of the game only to find out his tragic end was... 🤧 Zack has gotta be my favorite FF protagonist
you guys have no idea how much of an impact this game had on my life. i was 15 when crisis core was released and instantly picked it up because i loved advent children so much. dont get it twisted, i loved ff7 but when it was thing i was really little so i never finished it before after cc. i had no fucking clue what the plot of cc was. it hit me like a truck and up to today this score is the only one i can think of that manages to move me to tears. i am so so so so sorry for everyone who hasnt played, god forbid, dosent like ff7. "embrace your dreams. and, whatever happens, protect your honor... AS SOLDIER!"
Kiritsugu Emiya-What I want to be, is a hero Zack Fair-Would you say, I become a hero? Both characters died entrusting Shioru Emiya and Cloud Strife with their dreams and died peacefully. And both times I was in tears.
Grinded the platinum. Leaving it run over night to get 100% DMW, hunting down best equipement to beat Minerva in Hard mode. Every bit of it was worth it. This game made a grown ass man like me cry like a baby, same way it did 15 years ago when I played it on my PSP. Forever my favorite FF. As perfect as Zack's death was, I still wish they revive him and bring him back. But I guess he got the wings he always wished for and it's best the way it ended.
Oh boy, when the system gets corrupted during the battle against the army, it gets me very emotional, ando Aerith face si the last memory that remains 🧡
I'm the Zack Fair person and I am crying that he died I always wish he stays alive forever Zack is my favorite character and I am glad he’s alive in Remake and Rebirth and future installments of Zack Fair
if the shrina SOLDIERs apologize to zack before killing him it would make me cry even more like their have still have parts of their feelings for zack 3 shrina SOLDIERs: sorry zack! we have to kill you! SOLDIER 1: goodbyezack! you did alot of things for us but we have to kill you!
I remember loving this song without ever realizing it was used for the FF7 Crisis Core OST. It definitely has that somber mode that works so well for the series. This song works well for an anime series too.
Dam you Shinra for killing Zack. Love Final Fantasy Crisis Core. The song is beautiful and divinely aweesoommmeee..... Zack you are a warrior a true hero and a great soldier.....
"Cloud, you are my living legacy."
What an absolute legend.
I'm your living legacy?
i dont want cry!!!!
Also Cloud: I've never met this man in my life, forget about this loser. (Me: It can't be worst)
@@GF-mf7ml I used to laugh about that line too, but given everything Cloud went through in his life, I cannot help but understand why his psyche is blocking Zack.

“Would you say, I became a hero?”
DONT MAKE ME CRY BRO!
Yes I would
The best there was
Yes god your my hero
You’re damn right.
This Girl... she said that the sky frightened her... That looks so... liberating. Those wings... I want them too...
"Hey, would you say I became a hero?". The best one dear Zack!
I don’t cry easily…but this ending made me cry like a baby. “Those wings….i want them too.”
Me too
The game made me cry two time, first on PSP(2009) and now no PS5
Those wings. I want them too.
2024, and i still haven't emotionally recovered from "Cloud, you are my living legacy" only to learn Cloud doesn't end up remembering him until later in the game. Crisis Core was the first game I ever played and haven't really picked up another game since.
You need to see all the games related to FFVII they are great and the story goes so deep. Play them...
@@anubisx2086 I don’t have a PS5 but I real really want to.
People might say Angeal was a bland character but for me he is like the brother I never had. I cried thug tears when Zack struck him down.
Probably because he was only on your side in the prologue and first chapter and was dead by the halfway point of the game. He needed more development
@@Torinna_ yes he needed more time
@@Torinna_ When I was 14 yo this was more than enough for me lol. I had a mental breakdown after this game.
when Angeal pulled Zack up to the sky with him, man have i cried a river at that scene..
@@Torinna_EXACTLY. He suffered a similar problem as Lunafreya from FF15.

Sometimes the best thing about having one wing.. is you fly in circles. True Genesis quote.
“ that is so liberating”
what an emotional ending, i couldnt hold back my tears.
romaji lyrics:
Hitomi no oku ga boyake te mie nai
Kokoro no soko no kimochi wa aru no
Sekai no subete wo te ni shi ta toshite mo
Sore ga anata no shiawase na no

Anata no seikaku wakaru kara
Tooi mukashi ni nani ga atta no

Hitori de samishii yoru ni dakishime rareru

Why doushite katachi ni kodawaru no
Why kokoro wo hirai te
Ookina nimotsu wo seotta
Anata wo ukeire rareru chikara
Aru wa shinji te mi te
Jiyuu na hito wa bukiyou de
Jiyuu na hito wa fuan de
Why kodoku na sora wo miageru no
Why waratte mise te yo
Kotoba ni suru no ga heta na
Anata no seikaku wakaru kara
Shinji te mi te
Thanks
Yes Zack, you became a hero. You will always be a hero in our eyes
I WANNA HUG HIM (i feel so emotional rn)
I finished the game today again since 2009( PSP) and I cried again
i still remember it till this day how i played it, back in the days on the PSP. I already knew what would happen because of the movie and FF7..but, i tried so hard to not let it happen! I wasn't giving up, to protect his honor! I fought for over an hour or so..i really thought there could be a hidden ending.

Most heartbreaking end to a game I have ever seen
I remember Crisis Core was my first FF game.
I got stuck (mainly cuz I didn't know English at the time) at building Aerith's flower wagon and didn't know what else to do, so I stopped playing it
When I became older and knew RUclips had the rest of the game only to find out his tragic end was... 🤧
Zack has gotta be my favorite FF protagonist
Same here, Zack will always be my #1
you guys have no idea how much of an impact this game had on my life. i was 15 when crisis core was released and instantly picked it up because i loved advent children so much. dont get it twisted, i loved ff7 but when it was thing i was really little so i never finished it before after cc. i had no fucking clue what the plot of cc was. it hit me like a truck and up to today this score is the only one i can think of that manages to move me to tears. i am so so so so sorry for everyone who hasnt played, god forbid, dosent like ff7.
"embrace your dreams. and, whatever happens, protect your honor... AS SOLDIER!"
Listening to this while working out gives me strength
Hope you are doing your squats!
Squats today. FOR ZACK!! 🏋️♂️
To this day cloud screaming still haunts me in my dreams i hear him but im laying down on the ground in my dream slowly dying
Ever since i finished crisis core a few days ago, I been listening to this everyday😭
The those wings I want them to
"Activating.. com..bat..mode.."
Why as in why don't they have this in the Crisis Core OST on Spotify
RUclips Music are 1000 times better!!!
Licensed music.
Kiritsugu Emiya-What I want to be, is a hero
Zack Fair-Would you say, I become a hero?
Both characters died entrusting Shioru Emiya and Cloud Strife with their dreams and died peacefully. And both times I was in tears.
When you see Aerith say hi for me
But Cloud didnt said hi to Aerith...
@Ginda Gema cloud in the remake: who is zack? I don't konw someone by the name zack me: wow it must be mako
No joke that one line always breaks me. Considering he had been writing to her.
"You Are My Living Legacy"

“Those wings I want them too”
Men don't cry.... Yes... Yes we do...
This song is perfect for Clive Rosfield too! 🥰❤
i was thinkin the same thing
"It feels... Good." 😊
Why did Zack have to die for I wanted him to live 😭😢
Oh boy, when the system gets corrupted during the battle against the army, it gets me very emotional, ando Aerith face si the last memory that remains 🧡

If you see aerith, say hi for me
If only I were soldier

Only video game that made me cry. The Japanese are good storytellers.
Good night Zack 😔😔😔😪
Zack heaven is calling for you
❤️
Dam you Shinra for killing Zack.
Love Final Fantasy Crisis Core.
The song is beautiful and divinely aweesoommmeee.....
Zack you are a warrior a true hero and a great soldier.....
i would think the voice of cloud had to listen to this to scream
And then he lives.
Will I see you again?
cloud: who is zack i dont konw who the fuck you are! do i konw you?
@@near5148Sephiroth: Is Tifa real??? Or did I really kill her??? 😂 Cloud: So many headaches!!! 😭
“So what if it looks helpless? If it were me, I still wouldn’t give up.”
Our boii zack return in rebirth 🎉
I want the universe to play this when I die
Never finished the remake coz i don't think i could handle seeing him die in HD 😢😢 if i dont see it, it didn't happen
"Those wings, i want them too".
el final mas triste de todos los ff t.t
We're friends, right?
I was supposed to be dead. 🌊

Why this song isn't in Spotify?
Sephiroth has beauty also handsome also cool but where Kadaj
