Crisis core conflicts with Final fantasy 7 , in relation to Zack�s death.
In the beginning of Final Fantasy 7 , Zack Fair first appears after your first encounter with Aries .
Once your escorting her home you arrive in her slum town, whereby you meet a sick man inside an old engine in need of medicine, who is actually Zack, as he is the same character you see in all the flash backs , also when you arrive back throughout the game when possible , its evident he has left for the reunion , as another NPC mentions that he leaves.
He also has a Number 2 tattoo, if you ever followed the game that closely ^_^
If you compare it with CC everything adds up(the final show down , the dramatic fight , the location , Cloud and Zack)��apart from�..how he actually dies?
I have been speaking with my friends at work, and we all agree something is wrong?
Has anyone else noticed this?
We can�t stop thinking/talking about it , did SquareEnix make a mistake???
Or are we just making our own story up ??

^^^^ Fixed! :smrt:
Zack’s been dead. If you played FFVII entirely then you would have found the flashbacks (epsecially the all important Zack heavy ones). Besides, wasn’t that crazy sick guy in the Sector-5 slums like a bald sailor or something. I definitely do not believe that it was Zack, I’d believe it was Santa Claus, Jack Skellington, or Bozo the Clown before believing it was Zack.

The guy in the pipe was one of the Sephiroth clones gone wrong. I have no idea where you could’ve gotten the notion that was Zack.

See above.

He dies outside of Midgar, after escaping from Nibelheim with Cloud in tow. Shinra soldiers shoot him down for resisting arrest (or because it was their mission all along, I forget)

I’m pretty sure you’re just making your own story up, unless SE decided to completely retcon Zack’s part in the game, which I wouldn’t put it past them.

Well we did play FF7 again just to have a comparison and the guy in the slums looks a lot like the Zack from the flash backs , I would recommend just having a look ^_^ .
Even though it sounds crazy, just trust me on this.
Me and my work mates are so convinced , unless our old eyes are failing us haha.
Ok, now I know you have got to be kidding.
It`s still hard to get along with his death to me…
Oh my god!!
Check if you dont believe me!!! Take screen shots or whatever you want , i have done the same post on other fan sites , they are all starting to believe me.
^_^ yay!

I’m not saying that Zack is the retard in the slums like the poster is…didn’t Zack actually die in Nibelheim and told Cloud "Kill…Sephiroth…", so unless I’m remembering wrong it seems to me that Mr. Fair has 9 lives and has died twice, if not then the Nibel encounter was only near-death.
But still there are some loose ands in the plot, because of Genesis.
But I`m almost 88% sure that Zack has died because of resisting Shin-Ra. Even in the OVA Last order: Final Fantasy VII it was told that way.
Samuel_D: I`m sure you don`t get something, I don`t clearly remember how the guy in the slums looked, even if it was similar to Zack it was probably because of lack of characters back then, 3D stuff was just begining to get a real form so it`s not such a big deal if they used the same body textured differently.
Oh my god!!

Zack zack zack zack zack! In the slums!
Square made a mistake during crisis core development , zack actually dies……..though how he dies is a mystery….I believe he dies during the reunion , but you never meet a man (Zack fair) with the No 2 tattoo outside of the slums or during your encounters with the cloaked men.
^_^_^_^_^_^_^

hahaha I’m calling shenanigans on this guy, maybe joke account or something.
Zack Fair is no joke , poor guy has gone through so much.
Everyone just walks past him in the slums , ignoring him……..no wonder he dies.
Just play FF7 again and have a look in the slums , eventually the truth will come out.
Poor Zack , i really feel for his family.
Zack Zack Zack , no one else , but Zack.
He has the same tattoo , looks the same , and its zack ^_^ zack is zack in the slums ^_^
I know its hard , but all you have to do is check the slums in the begining of the game. If you ever make it that far…..cause you might die after you find out that its zack.
Its that simple ^_^ , i am sure you all want to prove me wrong…..your only human ^_^ and i am awsome =O
oh and to add , Prak most likely knows it is zack.
Fixed! :smrt:
Zack Zack Zack….Zack in the slums!
^_^
Its so cool , meeting Zack on the first disk in the slums.
I was like "woah , zack?…OMG its zack"
Once you finish Crisis core , then play FF7 again just to check out all the zack related details , you to will work out that its zack.
^_^ zack zack zack
She would certainly recognize him if that comatose guy in the slum was in fact Zack.
But she doesn’t. Neither does Cloud.
He is NOT Zack.
That’s an other case of a self-delusion created by a search for correctness and deeper meanings where there really isn’t much to dig in anyway.
By the way… just to make sure… Aeris DOESN’T come back to life at the end of the game.
Zack Zack Zack , no one else , but Zack.

what the hell is wrong with you…?Zack is D.E.A.D….killed by Shinra soldiers in FFVII and confirmed in Crisis Core – FFVII and FFVII – Last Order…Stop this fucking ‘secret’ you have been spreading around as he is D.E.A.D….or I personally kill you myself…
There is a hidden cut-scene there. (checked on North American NTSC release). Found it ages ago ( in 1997 😛 )
Cheers.
The only thing is that some people will create some desperate theories to make the game look like it is deeper than it actually is.
Aeris’ resurection back in the days, now this Zack shit…
It seems like 20 years from now, some people will argue that Yuffie is actually the mother of Red XIII’s children because you find her first in the wood… Whatever that means.

100% agree.
I don’t know about any of you guys, but one that popped out around where I live involved finding the Sector 5 key and then search around the slums for a certain general or colonel. No more details beyond that.
I don’t mind the theories if they make me laugh so if it’s Zack back to life they want, let them dig all they feel like.
I hear Zack can be brought back to life with a Super Phoenix Down.
and, dont you think aeris would have noticed if it were zack? hmm?
Anyways, creating stupid theories that can be pointed out to be false is a big waste of time. Especially if you keep saying it’s not.
If you worked as an eyeball acid tester for Acme Inc. of course he resembled Zack. For all you know he probably resembled a bright pink flaming smoking a cigarette and sipping a brandy too.
Critically injured at Nibelhiem.
Taken (I think by Hojo) to the Shinra Mansion with Cloud, I forget exactly why. I think testing and healing.
Zack breaks Cloud and himself out.
They hitch a ride to the outskirts of Midgar.
Found by Shinra grunts and Zack is killed and Cloud not bothered with since he was pretty much a veggie in his current state.

I recently watched Last Order for the first time and was wondering about the last scene, we saw Tseng dispatch the Turks and then the Shinra guys wanted to deal with Zack and Cloud themselves so the Turks wouldn’t take the glory or something like that. Are we to believe that if the Shinra guys had waited for the Turks, Zack would not have been killed?
First they were fighting Sethiroth inside the reactor then after getting hurt they were moved to the basement of the shinra mansion where zack broke them out….cloud at this time was under mako posioning. and could not do anything Zack on the other hand was as strong as angeal.
so he took cloud and ran towards midgar and thats when they were heading to midgar to kill Shin-ra but were stopped by the 2nds and the turks… It was Tseng that authoized the "targets" ( cloud & Zack ) because they were going to stop the Shinra cold in their tracks , however while out of action zack moves to protect Cloud from getting shot, zack being to tired to move gets hit and slowly starts to die….and as he dies in cloud’s arms he tells cloud to "protect his honor, and embrace his dreams….and to kill Sethiroth…"
so while cloud was still out of it , he re-writes his past because he thinks he is zack because of his promise to zack when he died.
and the tattoo on that guy in the slums is A #2 but that doesnt mean that is a Sethiroth clone , because there were Mutiple people with numbers that had repeating digits…

yeah, and if you send 20$ to Square soft, they beam your memory card with a satellite and give your game save Aeris again. Dude, does ANYONE else remember that whole magazine article?
And this, class, is what an idiot post looks like.
In one of the flashbacks during FFVII, YOU SEE ZACK DIE!
How more fkn obvious can it be???
Hope that helps!! :]
Zack is definitely dead. One of the saddest endings i’ve ever seen. reminded me of aeris dying. It was alot more gruesome though, trying to fight and not being able to do anything about the outcome. Zack is not the guy in the tunnel. that is a sephiroth clone as everyone said. Zack cannot succomb to mako poisoning like Cloud because he was already fused with mako. Cloud was a infantryman when he was captured so he did not have any mako yet. Only Soldier were fused with mako. The next thing is that i have a theory. I think Sephiroth was talking to cloud from the beginning of final fantasy vii and making him believe he was a member of soldier and everything. Everytime he would say something off from his regular story, the screen would flash and the words he is given to say comes up on the screen as if someone is telling him. what do u think?
From the Final Fantasy VII Ultimania Omega Guide (Officially canon)
***Enigma of the voice*** (Page 68)
As Cloud is trying to place the bomb, a mysterious voice speaks to him. Later,
this same kind of mysterious voice resounds in Cloud’s head in the scene where
he and a voice have a conversation, and it offers him reminders. These voices
are the original Cloud, as — due to Hojo’s Sephiroth Clones experiment —
Zack’s personality merged with his, creating the present day Cloud, producing
a conflict of multiple personalities(–>P.11).
During the scene in the first mako reactor, what [the voice] says is it
[trying] to point [Cloud] toward the memory of Sephiroth five years ago in
Nibelheim’s mako reactor, as the two places were similar. However, Cloud is
not able to listen to the words of the memory.
————————
[Analysis: This section confirms that the voice that often talks to Cloud
during the first disc of the game is his subconscious, that part of him that
was buried under the false identity he formed.]
As for this troll malarky, also from the UO Guide;
Cloud was a successful Sephiroth Clone, having the exact results Hojo had hoped for; he wasn’t the failure at all, and instead, Zack — who freed Cloud before he could get a number — was. Zack could handle the SOLDIER/Sephiroth Clone treatments just fine, and this made him a failure for the purposes of Hojo’s experiment.
Obviously it goes without saying that I do not own the rights to the UO guide.
