Zack Fair, Living Legacy of Angeal Hewley and a Hero of his own. Died in sacrifice for his comrade while attempting to rejoin his loved one. Betrayed by his allies of the Shinra and not found by his friend before it was too late.
Though the one he saved ensured his legacy, the world will never be the same without him.
"Embrace your dreams, and whatever happens, protect your SOLDIER honor."
"Boy oh boy, the Price of Freedom is steep."
"You'll be...my living legacy..."
"Would you say...I became a hero?"
I don't mean to sound like a mindless fanboy, but Zack has to have some of the best, most inspirational quotes I've ever heard from a video game character.
" Enbrace your dreams. And, whatever happens. Protect your honor... as SOLDIER! COME AND GET IT!'' Those were the last words of zack's final battle. Me and your fans will missed you zack. Good bye 1st class soldier zack, you're a true hero.
A great man, with a great soul...the Goddess couldn't accept his bright spirit, and so Angeal took him to his own throne...where him, the Hero, and Aerith, the Queen, could watch the Living Legacy, Cloud...Never will they die, as their souls the flames on the horizon, from Sunrise-to Sunset. They are the Demigods of Cloud's planet, and they shall forever look over him, untill the day when they must adopt him comes.
"Men cry not for themselves, but for their Comerads". ~Angeal, the white Angel.
"This sword I've held, this sword I've wielded... This sword that took lives in order to be protected... For my friends, for my comrades, I will fight 'till my last breath leaves my lips, for this life of mine is my sacrifice, to obtain the wings... the wings of an angel.....
Because flying... Flying feels good..."
-In memory of the greatest hero; Zack Fair, SOLDIER 1st Class
This song is sad and beautyful... I am a final fantasy freak... because i wrote a continu of crisis core ... what happend if Zack was safed by the goddess i mean the goddess genesis is talking about the whole game she safed zack and the rest is locked in a box i calll it the "REAL" crisis core continu ^^
how about both happy and sad? works for me since that is what my feelings are every time I hear this song and think of cloud and/or Zack. hope he stays with us forever even if he is not real.
Hey, when i completed the game i cut off my psp and fought genisis again just to see the ending. Love the ending i almost cried. My best part also is his last sentence.
what im saying is. if you just want to enjoy the song. do so, why should comments annoy you? if you are just here to enjoy the song, why read the comments? The comments are for discussion. and many passionate gamers, not nerds. simply people who enjoy the game. for them this song invokes many memories, feelings, and discussions much like any movie with romance and death would. im saying you enjoy the song your way. and allow them to enjoy it there way
zack shouldn't have died...he could just use flare n those infrantry guys would have died or just curaga non stop..cloud sux..why isnt he stronger..but at least aerith went to heaven to join him after his death
aerith shouldn't have died... she could just use phoenix n that sephiroth guy would have died or just get cloud to cast life non stop.. sephiroth sux.. why isn't he stronger.. but at least zack went to heaven to join him after her death
I'm sorry, but I cannot agree with what you said. However you are entitled to your opinion and I respect it.
Thing is, to me, whether if a person is more powerful isn't determined by who he had beaten. Cloud beat Sephiroth, but does that mean Cloud is more powerful, no he isn't, go watch Advent Children and ask yourself why Sephiroth didn't just stab him in the heart while he had the chance but instead his shoulder. Like I said before, even a pro boxer can get sucker punched and lose.
While we're on this subject, I would like to point out that we shouldn't say who is stronger than whom based on who this person defeated.
We are trying to determine who has more "Power" therefore who is more "Powerful". In that sense, my observations are correct. i.e. A professional boxer might get sucker punched and lose to just a regular guy. Does that make the ordinary man more powerful than the professional boxer? I think not.
Genesis comes out at the end of Dirge of Cerberus secret ending
Let's take Cloud for example, he defeated the different "forms" of Sephiroth in FFVII, but does that make him stronger than Sephiroth? No, it only means that the game, the storyline has to go on
And no, Cloud is not more powerful than Vincent. Watch or play Dirge of Cerberus and you find out why.
When Vincent turns into his true "Chaos" form, he is invincible, he defeated Omega Weapon, Cloud could not even defeat a minor support villain. Plus, Vincent is immortal due to Shinra experiments. I am a fan of Cloud/Zack as well, but unfortunately, facts are facts.
Depends if you want to get technical, because if you do then Vincent is the "most powerful" character in the world of FFVII. If you disagree, then play or watch Dirge of Cerberus and they explain why.
If we only consider SOLDIER members, then Sephiroth is the strongest, due to early Jenova experiments during his infant stage. Cloud comes next due to his body's intensifying reaction to Jenova cells and MAKO radiation. Genesis @ #3, Angeal @ #4, and sadly, Zack @ #5. Zack isn't "that" powerful.
Yes and No. It's pretty difficult to understand. Depends on your view of the whole story line, hence I said if you wanted to be "technical" about it.
For example, if you consider "defeating" an enemy = you are stronger, then you would be right. i.e. Cloud did beat Sephiroth, twice, but was Cloud dominating Sephiroth, no he didn't. In fact, Sephiroth had many chances of dealing a fatal blow to Cloud in Advent Children, but he just toyed with him. During the fight, Cloud never had the upper hand.
i dont tyhink tseng betrayed him, he told cissnei (maybe other turks) to find and save zack, but i tihnk they didnt find him as possibly the shin-ra soldiers killed him or maybe they did find him, just the turks couldnt stop them, hey, the funny thing was, if zack used flare, all the soldiers would be dead but they didnt
i dont know if cissnei died that time in ff7 where shinra blew up but only 4 turks survived in AC :/
