WOW this may be the greatest game theres ever been. I just cried more than I have at a game ever and I didn't cry until cloud did and then I started bawling after I saw angeal coming to get zack this game may have just beat VIII as my fav of all time *sobs*

I just finished it this week with 100% missions and DMW
If we were together in the same place I would say give me five

What gets me is I kept hearing that the PS3 Tech Demo is at the end of the game. while the bit with Aeris is certainly directly lifted from that demo, the part with Cloud is significantly different to the point that I'm wondering more and more about this 'remake' business. Wouldn't it be interesting to see a version of FFVII re-imagined around the game mechanics of Crisis Core? I'm not saying it would be perfect...but perhaps sufficiently different that it wouldn't make those of us who remember the original so fondly cringe so much at little inconsistencies. (Basically so different that it doesn't matter if they skim over obvious plot points, like in Crisis Core).

Either way...it was a good ending, even if it was a bit corny. And I'm left not knowing what to think of Genesis at all. If he's become one with the Planet/is being protected by the Planet how was he ever a villain? How can he go on BEING an antagonist, basically, even if Minerva is a goddess of war?

there was one thing that made me think about one of the missions were zack fights 200 shinra soldier if he was able to complete that mission how come he couldnt take on the ones at the end i mean i knew he dies from FF7 but im just saying didnt they think about that mission

But in all it was the best game EVER man it was awesome glad it was the first game i bought when i got my psp and i hope the do go with the remake of FF7

Well there was the one with 1000 Shin-Ra soldiers...but then he didn't have helicopters shooting missiles at him during those missions, did he? Apparently only Vincent can withstand a direct helicopter assault...but then he did have a ranged weapon to take care of most of the missiles before they got to him.

I dunno...it is a bit unbelievable, but then its much better than him just getting shot to death by one solider, as it was in the original game. If they had stuck to that I just wouldn't have bought him dying at all.

well if you think about it without him getting shot and that was sad then there wouldn't be a FF7 at all but what really got to me was the end of the game whole the DMW as acting up and all

[Anomaly]

Yes...I think it was probably meant to underline how much Zack was hurting...how exhausted he was. Traveling across continents, snatching rest only between fighting off monsters, soldiers, and freaks. Having to look after a complete invalid through it all. The final hurtle what could essentially be called the ENTIRE Shin-Ra army for the amount of soldiers and hardware used. Anyones mind would be in pieces...in the end he only had one person on his mind.

Seeing the ending of this game was the closest i have ever come to crying in any game ever. During that final fight i knew i had to lose but i kept fighting and fighting hoping maybe if i keep killing them Zack wont have to die.But that was pointless so after like an hour of fighting and fighting i let them kill me.
Seeing Zack all beaten up and bleeding fighting to his last breath to protect cloud when he could have just ran but he refused to leave cloud behind. He died to protect Cloud. When i saw this happening, and when i saw Angeal coming to help Zack though it all and when he handed Cloud the Buster sword and told him that cloud had to live for both of them i nearly lost it and almost cried but i managed to keep it in.
Before this game i thought that Zack was just some sissyboy loser and a cloud wannabe. But after this game i have so much respect for him. He didnt deserve to die and he is the only reason that cloud didnt die, plus he saved the world from Genesis and all of the copies. Zack is easily my second favorite character in all of the FF games now.
