    The one and only change I don't like is the camera angle at the end where Zack can barely fight anymore. The original version had a view of Midgar in the background. It's so sad because it's RIGHT THERE and it makes it hit harder just seeing how close Zack was to returning only to be gunned down on that cliff.

      While the psp version detail is fairly tragic, I prefer the Reunion version for showcasing how much damage Zack dealt to the Shinra Army.
      You can actually see dead troopers and even destroyed helicopters across the map, And I enjoy the result of the battlefield because it really shows how tough Zack is facing them all alone even though he’s heading to death’s door.

    Okay, I think the scene where Zack's actively dying is good from both VAs. They're both pretty on top of all the breaths and nonverbal inflections when they move, or try to move, and Cody letting his voice drop on "living legacy" was a good tonal choice. He actually sounds like he's completely handing over his dreams and honor in his delivery. Rick Gomez has this subtext of "Please do this for me," and the Japanese VA leans into the inflection that his dreams and honor are gift worth giving. Cloud's new VA is really solid in that scene, gets across how ragged Cloud's feeling. His scream is, almost, as good as Takahiro Sakurai's. I am pleased that Zack got to keep his jawline in the higher def scenes.

    Fun fact about the psp ending. In the final battle you can't actually die until the dmw runs out of characters. It freezes you on one health point until zack's memories are wiped into oblivion. Haven't tried yet on the remake. I've been grinding down the missions

      The thing is it's only the buster sword that was changed. The cutscenes weren't rerendered at a higher resolution. The shinra army still wear their pre-remake uniforms. It just makes no sense to me why neither or these changes were made if they had the ability to go back in and make changes to the CGI cutscenes.
      The only scenario that makes sense to me is they always had a version of these scenes with the old buster sword design all these years and are simply repurposing them for Reunion. Like as if the decision to redesign the sword's hilt in Crisis Core was made midway through development and thus they had to adjust the CGI slightly before release, making these the beta versions.

      Zack will return in ff7 rebirth(remake part 2) he is alive again as cloud destroyed the whisper harbinger in remake. There whole goal is to ensure that reality and fate go as planned, cloud disrupted this, and it needed to be fixed. This destruction sent out a wave through space and time, killing all of the Shinra soldiers attacking zack, he then leaves for Midgard. The biggest question we have is
      Is this still the past or is it in the future where the remake currently is?
      The devs stated that he will return in rebirth with a new role. The remakes have now changed lore and are now set in an alternate reality world patrolling the OG Final fantasy with crisis core reunion, being the crisis core of the remakes.
      We also have a new remake collection for 7 coming to mobile called ever crisis, that takes everything from ff7. Ollection, I mean everything, movie, games, Japan only releases and combines them all into one game coming this coming year

      Propably because it's still a pure prequel to FF 7 original. Seeing this ending will already be confusing for people who only played Remake and doesn't realise that FF7R is acutally a sequel to the franchise. "Zack's survive" timeline will play key part in part 2 and 3 especially after seeing Yuffie DLC ending so adding anyhting to Crisis Core would be pointless and even more confusing. in hindsight i think that calling it 7Remake was a mistake, because not everyone understand that it doesn't mean remake of game but remake of events by Sephiroth.

      From what it looks like, so I'm talking out of my ass on this one, it seems like they have a high-resolution of the pre-rendered scenes, maybe 480p, 720p, or 1080p-ish(?), then upscaled it to fit 4K and did some compositing for the Buster Sword. I doubt they have the original project files and re-rendered the entire scenes because those scenes look a bit blurry. This is just speculation, of course.

    I think the subtle things are what really makes me prefer the original, like how zack's bloodied state is a bit more
    generic and censored here, it looks like he's covered in dirt and not so much blood. The original really makes you feel like
    he's been getting hounded and chased down for hours and beaten, fighting for his life and fighting hard. The subtleties of his face look
    more expressive there too imo in terms of whats on his mind, a brief hopelessness before returning back to battle in a weakened state.
    Also I like how zack is kinda out of frame here in the psp version when he gets shot on the floor it really does something to se the mood
    like man, he's really gone gone. Also the shinra dudes look WAAY more evil in the original with that intense red lighting. Also I really just like
    original crisis core's buster sword more for zack, it would be interesting to explain it away as cloud modified it to reduce his grief or something.

      The reason it's raining in the church is the plates are 300m above ground level (stated in a loading screen in Remake), so it's not unreasonable that if it's raining then that rain would fall into the slums too, especially when the church would be near the outer edge of the slums (the reactors, where Cloud fell from, are around the edge of the city). The Church would have to be located right next to the border of the Sector 4/5 slums, and near the very edge of the city.

      Basically due to Soldier 1st class members being infused with mako and jenova cells, they can transfer their abilities to other members of soldier - remember earlier cut scenes explaining genesis copies. Basically Cloud is an unfinished zack copy - Zack has imprinted some of his memories onto Clouds, which has overridden some of his actual memories. This wasn't on purpose of course, and likely due to the blood that was transferred onto Cloud's head during Zack's final moments

This is like photoshop but the rotoscopied (photoshoped) sword follow the original path of the removed sword and the new one is above it with a tracker.

    7:08 This particular part in OG CC hit so much harder cause of the camera angle, we can see Zack facing us & taking damage unable to fight back. Also, when the screen fades to black, in OG, he is shot so many more times & the sound reverberates/echoes. It made it feel more violent & more brutal. It goes without saying that Rick Gomez is amazing & this new VA Caleb pierce isn’t a patch on him. I loved seeing one of my fave characters & stories in this gen & going on this journey I adore so much again, but the voice acting really was an issue for me unfortunately. I had to play with Japanese VA cause the new VA really jarred my experience & didn’t convey/deliver the lines with the emotional depth that was needed, he can’t seem to convey mood through the story through his voice very well & so it’s just the same tone & sound all the way through, as opposed to differentiating between happy, angry, sad, etc. His final stand & even where he’s dying, the little grunts of pain Rick Gomez does, little nuances like that really add to the emotion. I would love someday if square enix released a DLC to play with the OG voice cast, I’d be all over that & buy it day one!! It was the 4 mains I felt were really off: Zack, Seph, Genesis & Angeal.
