Zack says his most iconic line with Cloud | Final Fantasy VII Rebirth #ff7rebirth #finalfantasy7rebirth #finalfantasyviirebirth #zackfair #cloudstrife #sephiroth
Zach I love, the more I learn about him. He goes through the worst things in his life, but doesn’t give up. He even sacrifices himself to save cloud because he knew he had to be protected… He left Aerith, even though he wanted to be with her, because he knew he had to chase Genesis, and Sephiroth. As a kid I liked edgelords, but as I get older I learned it’s harder to be a hero.
Yeah, I love the way he gets down to Marlene's level when talking to her and reassures her that he's open to hearing what she has to say. When Elmyra initially snaps at him, he doesn't react defensively or snap back. He just maintains his healthy attitude. He compliments and encourages Cloud for taking charge during their team-up because he's known Cloud to be shy and reserved. Zack's the older bro everyone wishes they had.
@@DUES_EXI mean Cloud isn't really an edgelord either (no matter what Advent Children or Kingdom Hearts tries to tell you otherwise). He pretends to be an edgelord in the beginning when he's really a dork who tries too hard to be cool and says shit like "let's mosey"
Also Devs: Say, how would like to have the cheatiest New Game+ of your life? Don't worrrrrry. All ya gotta do is keep trying and getting pummeled, and eventually we will randomly let you win! NO IT'S NOT JUST LIKE DARK SOULS! Pffff. Pssshhht! Pffff. Dark Souls. This fkn guy!
What’s happening is Sephiroth is trying to become multi spiritual dimension lifestream god and he’s absolutely pulling the planet apart from the inside out to be able to do so. To an insane ass degree lol
@enriquepowers i would have preferred a dlc. Walking with him 5 minutes between chapter was meh after seeing brings dying while he stop crying for the 10th time😂
He never made it officially. But Physically, he made the Top Version that surpassed that of Sepheroth's. Hojo tried the to made Top Tier Soldiers that surpassed Sepheroth. An update to flaws of Sepheroth. So both Cloud & Zack were test subjects but Zack rejected his new experiment due to him already a soldier. So he remained the same. But Cloud passed the experiment & became The Best Version of Solider up to date by Hojo's design but he was deemed as failure by Hojo because he never woke up and fallen into a coma. During this time... Zack was telling him his own life story... That's why Cloud memories is confused with Zack's because he heard those stories from Zack and assuming it was his own. But he woke up after Zack broke both of them out of Hojo's Lab. So technically... He's the only soldier that surpassed everyone. Even the mighty One-wing Angel. The issue is... Hojo want all new Soliders to be control by Sepheroth. So all newly made soldier were placed under psychic-link that Sepheroth can control them. That's why sometimes Sepheroth can takes over Cloud's body.
@@nova8352 Shouldn't you belong in Tea House somewhere at the edge of Universe where civilization don't bother you? I was merely stating a fact to entertain his comment and that's what the "Comment Section" is all about. To engage in conversation. If you don't feel like a Conversation is needed or needless to say... JUST SIMPLY SKIP IT!!!
@@mel-el5862 Zack is Plenty Mighty. Considering he took on Prime Sepheroth for for extensive periods of time, as well severely damaged him enough that allow Cloud to sneak up on him & delivery a final blow. If I'm not mistaken, he's the second in Command after Sepheroth.
It's really funny if you think about it. Zack had to deal with Genesis ans Angeal shenanigans, and then THIS happen to him. He bust be so confused lol. Anyway, loved this part
Zack has been put through so much ridiculous shit he deserves nothing less than valhalla if not a happy end to his story. Send him to a world where he can be the Hokage or something idgaf just do right by him.
I loved this scene because their friendship is really special to me. I did feel that when Cloud said it, it felt out of character. Considering how much he resents Shinra and often corrects people by saying he's an "Ex-soldier," I was surprised to hear him say that. 😅
A lot of marines hate what the US does in other countries. But never do they dishonor the brotherhood. And always keep in mind that one's a marine, always a marine! It's almost like a separate entity. I think that's the equivalent of SOLDIER!
True but I think that meeting 1st Class SOLDIER Zack might have been one of best things to ever happen to him so it's more of a homage to the man who quite literally put everything on the line for him than it is Cloud liking Soldier. The same could probably be said about Zack too since the sword and that speech is an homage to Angeal and the fact that he swore to uphold his ideals and legacy. Plus by the end of Crisis Core, Zack really doesn't like Shinra or SOLDIER given what be tells Cloud about them earlier, what he learns and goes through in Niblehime and that shinra literally sent an army to execute him.
I think Part 3 is going to be called Reunion. It's used a lot in the games, and it has several meanings in these games. And it keeps the "Re-" that they've been going with
I need that Zack & Aerith reunion. Poor Aerith never knew the truth. She never knew what happened to him. The years he lost. That she was always on his mind. Whether they apologize, kiss and make up, or whatever, I just need to see them one more time!
Aerith being a Cetra made it so that she knows he died. She felt when he returned to the life stream. That's why she looks up in a panic when he dies in Crisis Core.
@@soulreaperx7x So she lies to herself when she says that probably Zack was with other girls Although... Maybe she could feel him but not being sure 🤔
@@david_bytes_ Actually Aerith didn't lie. In the Ultimania books Zack is described as a ladies man who took Cissinei out to dinner a few times even though he thought it might make Aerith Jealous. This also fleshes out why Cissinei had a crush on Zack. Aerith also assumed he was a ladies man. Aerith just happened to be zacks favorite girl and he eventually grew to like her more. They were teenagers also back then.
@@soulreaperx7x That’s the impression I got from CC too, but Rebirth really suggests Aerith doesn’t know if Zack is dead or alive. At the very least she would have told his parents if she’d known. Could just be a change between OG and Remake ‘timelines’
That is the core of their designs. when designing the protagonist of FF7 there were 3 design choices. Original was Angeal, then the design changed to Zack and then they changed it once more to Cloud. That's why those three are connected through the Buster Sword.
Funfact : Cloud's ( he is not named yet ) original design was Zack's but Tetsuya redesign him to what we see today as Cloud Strife but the team still use the original design which has long black hair which is Zack today .
and even before Zack's design the first OG hero would have had Angeal's design. That's why Angeal was written to be the original owner of the Buster Sword. The symbolism and tribute to those three designs and their connection to the Buster sword can e seen on the back over of the original Crisis Core with Angeal, Zack and Cloud all placing their hands on the hilt of the Buster Sword.
I was pretty hyped with that bit where Zack appeared, killed Sephiroth and when Sephiroth asked “where did you come from?”, Zack just says “Me? Gongaga”
oh good. I'm not the only one annoyed by the pointless change. I still don't say the 'a'. the way its originally said to me signifies unity. saying it like that resembles a full group as one cohesive unit. by adding the 'a' it singles it down to one person.
After playing Crisis Core, Cloud is just a weirdo with a lot of traumas who wants to steal zack's girlfriend, job and whole personality, but he's so deppressive that he won't ever manage to be even close xD Only thing he has succesfully stealed: The OG game... And Zack is back for revenge xD
@@holographicwing ???? No. Rick Gomez is definitely better. I don’t know what you’re on about. I just checked the comment I left you. “He doesn’t know you”. Was that rude?
Thats a quote taken directly from Angeals mouth though. Its not a Zack thing at all. Also, Gongaga Also also, but a bit more serious this time, "All of my hopes and dreams... They're yours now."
This just goes to show that even though Cloud took on Zack as his "persona" or sorts they were always connected regardless if it was just because of Hojo experimenting on them both, the fact they were in the same team heading up to the reactor or whatever they have always had a bond no matter what. They were meant to be friends, there was a connection there even if none of the bad stuff happened, the universe were twlling them that they were meant to be friends regardless.
"Cloud. You remember what I said before." "That's right. I am your Living Legacy." Cloud isn't Zack's Living Legacy anymore: he's his Brother in Arms 😢
@@taxo If you haven't noticed, that was literally the point, as of the beginning of FF7. The only way that Cloud ever woke up from Mako poisoning was because Zack died. I'll explain. It's very heavily implied that what Mako poisoning actually is is when the Lifestream, full of the souls of dead people, invades peoples' bodies like a virus if a concentrated amount of it enters them through water (osmosis) which sort of "formats" their soul like a computer hard drive since random people aren't compatible with each others' identities. When Zack died, and long before that point, he wished to give Cloud his strength because he knew Cloud wanted to be stronger so he could do his duty as a SOLDIER. His soul literally did bleed out into Cloud. Shinra uses the Class system to determine how much Mako a SOLDIER's body can take before they lose their minds and free will. The whole story of Crisis Core, talking about cellular degradation, was because Shinra was trying to see how much of Jenova's soul they could put into people in the exact way that Zack entered Cloud's body, in order to increase their Mako-to-blood threshold. Sephiroth was the only experiment to be stable because his soul couldn't bleed. He had to invite Jenova's presence into his body like how Zack forced his way into Cloud's. That's why Angeal and Genesis started to die to little cuts and why Sephiroth's blood would have killed them. Zack and Cloud were locked in the basement of Shinra Manor along with Vincent because Shinra thought it was the mansion itself which had finally 'turned Sephiroth into a true Cetra' and since Zack and Cloud had hands in defeating Sephiroth, they thought the both of them could have overcome Jenova's Legacy in their blood in a way that Sephiroth had not been able to. Falling back into the Lifestream in Mideel reversed the process and gave Cloud back what he had lost. It also gave Aerith a way to contact both Zack and Cloud and remain whole. Their bond, their Legacy, Was the "Promised Land". The bond between them. Sephiroth summoning Meteor was so that his soul could join with and "eat" the Planet's by bleeding the soul out of it just like Shinra did to Cloud. Sephiroth wanted to do what Zack did to Cloud to the Planet. The "stupid living legacy" thing. It's the subtext of the entire game series. If you think it's "plain stupid", sometimes it's just because you don't understand something when you think that about things. That goes for a lot of things in your life.
@@Ronldbx6 I'd do a little more research before believing that. I've been a fan since 2007 and have never heard any of that. And I've looked into the history and lore with anything I could find. I've never hard of half of that before.
@@taxo No, it doesn't mean that Cloud's a tool. It's something soldiers do when their brothers die on the battlefield. they keep going and carry the memories of their fallen brethren. It's also symbolic. And in Cloud's case with the mako it also imprints Zack's knowledge and memories onto Cloud.
damn i am missing out not having the time or bank account to watch this or play this was that Sephiroth's Bizzaro form on screen for a split second? or was it something else chills, the good kind
Funny but I think next game. Aerith and Zack r in the same world. She’s still considered the protagonist alongside with cloud. And yes Aerith body died but cloud did save her. But it clearly glitched out as you all saw. Cuz think about it how can sephiroth sword still get deflected. Since ff7 remake trilogy has opened the possibility of multiple worlds. Aerith still alive people. (That’s my theory of the game). The main world being ff original. Hence “Fate” ghost. Story all gonna link back to remake ending. Beating sephiroth and changing fate. Opened up new endings. Cloud been known she gonna die as a narrator or story writer u gotta now keep em alive and not kill em off cuz u allowed them to mentally prepare themselves. Hence even tho cloud rn is suffering from personality disorder and mentally think aerith still alive. Even tho I think he can really c her. It just shows that the build up to her death wasn’t enough to make it sad. Cuz she literally died unexpectedly. One moment “wait I’m alive” next moment ahh wait I’m gonna die.
While Steve Burton was AMAZING as Cloud, Cody truly is a worthy successor. However I agree regarding Rick Gomez. Caleb is trying, and improving, and there are times when he sounds alright to good even, but he just can't fully nail it. he still sounds too young for the character. His voice lacks the weight of experience, ready to charge into the fight blindly. while Rick could carry that weight and you just felt like you could trust whatever his character said when she spoke because of that tone.
I hate Zack in this. Caleb why did you have to ruin a beloved character with your voice. You already ruined Timmy Turner, what makes you think you want to ruin Zack.
Honestly this was such a random line coming from cloud in rebirth. He almost never says anything sbout solider honor in all of remake or rebirth and then out of the blue he says it.... made 0 sense to me
Well at the end of Crisis Core, Cloud DOES do the sword prayer on top of the train. He just doesn’t say the words. After doing the prayer, he just says “my name is Cloud Strife, SOLDIER 1st Class” So, to me, it didn’t seem *that* random here that he’d do the pose or even say the line. It’s still part of his persona.
Apocalypto. The book of revelation speaks of the plagues going through. And whoever tries to change the bibble/bible. Shall be cursed with like all the plagues in the book. I call shotgun, and the exits. 😆👣
God I love the music in this segment. Though you’re fighting an abomination, there’s still this whimsical factor behind Cloud and Zack’s synergy in a dire moment.
I MISSEDDDDD ZACKKKKKKKK so muchhhhhhh. I was 10 when I played crisis core on the PsP (never played the of FFVII) so I always tried to find a way to keep Zack alive using and never could😭😭 Zack is my personal fav bc he represents the hero who never got the chance to really be one.
When SE said this game was going to be for the old AND new players, that’s was a lie, how can any NEW player understand what the hell is actually going on in the story if they haven’t played the OG? Heck it’s confusing even for us old fans.
Embrace the 35 minute final boss that should have been at the very end of this continuous game by game remake before Safer Sephiroth. And, whatever happens….keep shoveling us money for repetitious nonsense! -Square
Plot twist: Cloud has literally dreamt all of FF7 while in the mako tank and the only real timeline is that one where Zack lives. Sephiroth isn't real..,he's in Cloud's head.

Zack and Cloud were locked in the basement of Shinra Manor along with Vincent because Shinra thought it was the mansion itself which had finally 'turned Sephiroth into a true Cetra' and since Zack and Cloud had hands in defeating Sephiroth, they thought the both of them could have overcome Jenova's Legacy in their blood in a way that Sephiroth had not been able to. Falling back into the Lifestream in Mideel reversed the process and gave Cloud back what he had lost. It also gave Aerith a way to contact both Zack and Cloud and remain whole. Their bond, their Legacy, Was the "Promised Land". The bond between them.
Sephiroth summoning Meteor was so that his soul could join with and "eat" the Planet's by bleeding the soul out of it just like Shinra did to Cloud. Sephiroth wanted to do what Zack did to Cloud to the Planet. The "stupid living legacy" thing.
It's the subtext of the entire game series. If you think it's "plain stupid", sometimes it's just because you don't understand something when you think that about things. That goes for a lot of things in your life.
@Veldrusara Wow, that's pretty cool lore. I never knew this!😯
@@Ronldbx6 I'd do a little more research before believing that. I've been a fan since 2007 and have never heard any of that. And I've looked into the history and lore with anything I could find. I've never hard of half of that before.
@@taxo No, it doesn't mean that Cloud's a tool. It's something soldiers do when their brothers die on the battlefield. they keep going and carry the memories of their fallen brethren. It's also symbolic.
And in Cloud's case with the mako it also imprints Zack's knowledge and memories onto Cloud.
Suddenly, Bizarro Sephiroth!
damn i am missing out not having the time or bank account to watch this or play this
was that Sephiroth's Bizzaro form on screen for a split second? or was it something else
chills, the good kind
Why was I expecting "you are my living legacy"
So great dude
Funny but I think next game. Aerith and Zack r in the same world. She’s still considered the protagonist alongside with cloud. And yes Aerith body died but cloud did save her. But it clearly glitched out as you all saw. Cuz think about it how can sephiroth sword still get deflected. Since ff7 remake trilogy has opened the possibility of multiple worlds. Aerith still alive people. (That’s my theory of the game). The main world being ff original. Hence “Fate” ghost. Story all gonna link back to remake ending. Beating sephiroth and changing fate. Opened up new endings. Cloud been known she gonna die as a narrator or story writer u gotta now keep em alive and not kill em off cuz u allowed them to mentally prepare themselves. Hence even tho cloud rn is suffering from personality disorder and mentally think aerith still alive. Even tho I think he can really c her. It just shows that the build up to her death wasn’t enough to make it sad. Cuz she literally died unexpectedly. One moment “wait I’m alive” next moment ahh wait I’m gonna die.
Cloud will save her in the third game! They showed that scene for a reason lol. They wouldn't taunt us like that
Crisis Core fans should feel justified 💪
"As SOLDIER", not "As a SOLDIER". I'll stick to my PSP final fantasy, thank you.
Zack really is the true hero of FFVII
Zack is awesome.
I never saw that scene where Zack said to cloud ok so you never made soldier.
LETS FUCKING GO 😭😭😭😭😭
Me? Gongaga.
Cloud always been my favorite but on rebirth Zack really touched my heart ❤ his lack of self, his kindness and sense of humor... ❤❤
What a stupid line. You can't embrace your dreams and be obsessed with soldier unless your only dream is to be a mindless yes-man.
Wha? Since when have any of the First Class ever been mindless yes-men? Genesis? Angeal? Sephiroth?
They should have made the achievement for finishing all the side stuff in Gongaga "Me? Gongaga"
Zack basically embodies every single games, who's confused as phuck for all the nonsense happening
I miss Zack and Cloud's old VAs so much.
I only miss Zack’s
@@amuroray9115 same. new cloud is fine. GREAT even. New zack is improving, but DAMN do i miss gomez
While Steve Burton was AMAZING as Cloud, Cody truly is a worthy successor. However I agree regarding Rick Gomez. Caleb is trying, and improving, and there are times when he sounds alright to good even, but he just can't fully nail it. he still sounds too young for the character.
His voice lacks the weight of experience, ready to charge into the fight blindly. while Rick could carry that weight and you just felt like you could trust whatever his character said when she spoke because of that tone.
No his most iconic line is Gongaga.
Longest final boss battle I’ve had in years
Zack's new voice actor has gotten so much better, hat almost sounds likr the old Zack at times. Proud of the guy.
I try ought it was: Me? Gongaga
I am so sad to say that they missed the most valued part in my opinion. "NOW come and get it!!!"
I hate Zack in this. Caleb why did you have to ruin a beloved character with your voice. You already ruined Timmy Turner, what makes you think you want to ruin Zack.
Honestly this was such a random line coming from cloud in rebirth. He almost never says anything sbout solider honor in all of remake or rebirth and then out of the blue he says it.... made 0 sense to me
Yep. Plot is so asinine both Remake and Rebirth just have chars act completely uncharacteristically when the fanfic parts start at the end
Well at the end of Crisis Core, Cloud DOES do the sword prayer on top of the train. He just doesn’t say the words. After doing the prayer, he just says “my name is Cloud Strife, SOLDIER 1st Class”
So, to me, it didn’t seem *that* random here that he’d do the pose or even say the line. It’s still part of his persona.
Apocalypto. The book of revelation speaks of the plagues going through. And whoever tries to change the bibble/bible. Shall be cursed with like all the plagues in the book. I call shotgun, and the exits. 😆👣
I like how Zack, who went through the troubles of being first class, still acknowledges cloud who didn’t have to
God I love the music in this segment. Though you’re fighting an abomination, there’s still this whimsical factor behind Cloud and Zack’s synergy in a dire moment.
Uh, Mr. Zack, the line was "Xenogears!" Lets try it again! 😂
Was expecting zack to run of saying come and get it !!! 😅❤ love ff7 man
The new voice is so bad "what in the hell is going on" ... indeed zack indeed
So
Thats pretty cool😎👍🏽
Greatest SOLDIER of all-time. The MVP of FFVII. The entire game rests on his gigantic, magnificent shoulders.
Thank you for all the lessons, Zack.
I MISSEDDDDD ZACKKKKKKKK so muchhhhhhh. I was 10 when I played crisis core on the PsP (never played the of FFVII) so I always tried to find a way to keep Zack alive using and never could😭😭 Zack is my personal fav bc he represents the hero who never got the chance to really be one.
What boss is Zack about to fight?
Yes Zack ? I've officially ditched you for UMBRELLA. ❤
Well originaly it was Angeals phrase, zack got it from him and cloud got it from zack 😂😂😂
When SE said this game was going to be for the old AND new players, that’s was a lie, how can any NEW player understand what the hell is actually going on in the story if they haven’t played the OG? Heck it’s confusing even for us old fans.
Two goats
Would you say I'm a hero?
I thought it's "no way, he just ate my hair"
I'm glad they changed it to as a soldier instead of just as soldier. Shit sounded stupid af before
It’s just so satisfying to see cloud doing it cuz he usually never does
Zack is everything I usually hate in a main character but somehow he’s become one of my favorite gaming guys in gaming. Love him 👍🏿
There was no "Me? Gongaga."
My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day? Ruined.
Embrace the 35 minute final boss that should have been at the very end of this continuous game by game remake before Safer Sephiroth. And, whatever happens….keep shoveling us money for repetitious nonsense!
-Square
God damn it Nomrua.. Just stop. We don't need a FFEU, It exists. Let the nerds enjoy it instead of doing the Kingdom hearts crud.
I loved this moment. I've still yet to play Cisis Core to see Zack's full story.
I don’t know why but his “what in the hell is going on” line almost makes me laugh.
He looks like Zack but he doesn't sound like him. :/
Plot twist: Cloud has literally dreamt all of FF7 while in the mako tank and the only real timeline is that one where Zack lives. Sephiroth isn't real..,he's in Cloud's head.
It’s a nit pick but I wish they didn’t add the “as A soldier”. I prefer protect your honor as SOLDIER
Does anyone know what the ost is playing in the background
