i don't get one thing lots of people says that a verge of assault music plays in this battle, but the music is the price for freedom can someone explain me?!
1 thats the wrong kind of losing in the description and 2 why did he start losing his memories to begin with i mean i played this game from beginning to end and idk why to be honest lol
@messed2552 He wasn't "losing" his memories, he was dying. His mind was slowly fading as the battle wore on from fatigue and his wounds. The last thing he thought of was Aerith, the girl he loved and never got to keep his promise too.
This was the one scene I felt empty on, you could feel his life falling apart and him dying, but he fought for his friends and died trying to go back to them
The final DMV spins were a nice touch for the sad factor in the end. Playing the game from start to finish and seeing this in the end was a real tear jerker.
For those who were asking why the D.M.W. memories were fading, he was dying slowly so it was probably breaking. Imagine "life flashes before your eyes" right before you die, they say.
at 0:34 we can see that Tseng's image has fade away.. but at 0:59 - 1:03 at the right part of DMW we can see it appears again... weird does Zack have any fond memories with Tseng?
im a boy too and in this last battle of zacks life i cry the whole fight :( it was the saddest game end i ever see before and my tears wont stop :( zack is my favourite Final Fantasy character and then...at the end of crisis core he must die :( this was so hard :( but tears are ok when even boys love something so much that they can cry for it :)
LOVED IT! Genius idea to use dmw system for zack to see his life flash before his eyes. Very "first-person", puts you in his state of mind as he says goodbye to everyone he treasures. 0:15 "Zack, I gotta go" really tugs my heartstrings, thinking back to the simple things like talking on the phone with a friend that mean so much more when they're about to slip away...genius
this battle was the perfect ending for the game because of two thigs: the music and the DMV. the music was both sad and climactic at the same time, and the DMV degredation, as it represents Zak's own mental state, was just genius and just so....final.
this is the saddest battle ever... I remember Act 5 said: Even if the morrow is barren of promises, nothing shall forestall my return; to become the dew that quenches the land and to spare the sands, the seas, and the skies, I offer thee this silent sacrifice.... It meant it was his sacrifice to save the world, and Aerith (so those Clerith fans, stop protesting) .... even if it meant to lose everything .......T_T.................
the saddest part is not when Zack died....it's the battle he fought knowing he could never win....he still tired his hardest to protect Cloud and the memories that starts to fade away.........................
I just finished the game and saw this. I too was sad that Zack had died while fighting for his life and honor. And why did the D.M.W. characters started dissapearing? I know it isnt because he forgot them cause he still remembers Cloud and Aerith as he died on the ground.
SQUARE ENIX you...! Why'd you have to make games that...that... are just so EPIC... Zack Fair is my most favorite hero in the FF series! He should not have been killed!!! ...just went away to a different place...not the lifestream...WHY?! I was lucky enough to hold back my tears while the final scene played... Yet I felt... happy because Zack won't have to put up with that $*** anymore... and sad because he was shot down! And got shot in the HEAD too! Damn you Shinra!
You know what the problem is? I played this game knowing that Zack was going to die, but then after all the sh*t they had been through and then BAM this comes up, it's impossible to cry... it's an inevitable fate that I hoped to avoid. I think that this scene might have made me cry a little more than the ending, but I'm not too sure. Both were unbelievably sad, and I couldn't stop crying by the time I finished the game... T.T RIP Zack....
you know when you lose your memory of aerith at that time i was about to scream for a healing wave power surge bcuz ur hp is at 0 there no matter what im sure
in the last one he would refuse to forget aerith because he loved her so much, and he got a real Aerith spin on the DMW then he coulda been healed and kicked some more ass maybe D:
your one of those rare werid ones then i've never played a FF game before i got this one and even i knew that airth and zack die(zack before the game and airth towords the end or something((talking about 7))
i've played ff7 cc and when i got to this part i knew that he was dying i started to really cry alot cause of what already happened to him (my sisters made fun of me cause i cried) i luv ya ZACK!!
yeah that's what everyone thinks but right when your trying to leave nibelheim and the soldiers try to take cloud, at the end of the battle zack says "why am i having trouble with these guys?" meaning that he's lost a lot of his fighting power due to being in the basement of the mansion for 4 years
Actually, I take back part of my last comment. I had a slight clue that zack would die cuz i didn't hear about him in ff7. When I saw the DMW images fading though, I then realized the horrible truth. I remember that when I realized this, I fought SO HARD to keep zack from dying. And yet...it all meant nothing! I still fight hard when I go through the game which'll be every year
i hear ya man i went a whole 2 hours this last time here and the dmw images actually came back for a little lol no limit breaks or anything but still i found it strange.
AAAAAGGGGGHHHHHH!!!! This always sets the tears off 4 me. And I didn't play FF7 so I didn't know Zack would die!!! I want to scream why but I already know why zack had to die! DAMN U SHINRA!!! I just got FF7 yesterday and I'm starting tomorrow. I don't care how popular cloud is, zack will always be my favorite hero. YOU ROCK ZACK!!!!
The saddest ending in the world of video games. It made me cry! Three Shinra troops left! If only Angeal was there or Sephiroth, having regained his senses and there before Zack died! NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!
First Zack, then Aerith. Who's next, Cloud? Oh no!
Wish they'd make another FFVII game, this time, Zack and Aerith revived! But wouldn't that make a love triangle?
T_T I hate it when it Zack dies it makes me mad. But more said than mad.
Zack would at least one people there to help him and he would be still alive if you think about about it. T_T the angeal copies (lazard and wolfy) faced an army like zack...If only cloud had woken up!
This is the saddest scene I've ever seen in a game. I cried during the whole fight, I tried to win desparately, but then more and more memories faded and in the end I had to watch Zack die...I couldn't stop sobbing during the whole ending, you know the GCI (?) cutscene with Cloud. May sound stupid for a teenage boy but it was fuckin touching.
It would have been cool if he survived, but just think about it. Wouldn't you be tired and half dead after being shot and sliced so many times by hundreds of other troops?
@Ashbringer72 it was very emotional and one hell of a headtrip thats for sure.
I tried to play out the entire fight (thinking it would end, but knowing it wouldnt till zack was dead) Id say i was in it for at least 45 mins and when i finally noticed what was going on with the memories I pretty much just lettem kill me right then and there. I lost memories alot slower when i played it seemed.
Beautiful. The time you hear "Activating Combat Mode", and are completely sucked into the game. After the crap that was DoC, its awesome to see a game that does VII some justice.
This game... The ending makes me cry, every single time...
I love this game...

I just noticed this
and then Cloud says hold on....I never realized that they applied to both the memory and the current situation
and when Aerith says I'll be here, does that mean she WILL always be in his memory
or did she actually fade away?

The last words on each of the three DMV spins are very powerful themselves.
because they are louder and no echo. don't get me wrong the echo is great but at the end when they don't put in the echo it strengthens the effect.
Cissnei: Zack, I gotta go.
Cloud: Hold on.
Aerith: I'll be here
Best ending ever.
