Definitely not. You're never alone in the internets.

Yep. There's that, and the ShinRa classified Zack as KIA. If the ShinRa says you're supposed to be dead and you're not, they're going to try their damnedest to make the records true.

Zack was weakened by experimentation and as such; he was not at the peak of his skill.

You DID play the original FFVII, right? Then you should've known that he died by the infantrymen BEFORE you played CC.

Also, HELL YEAH I WUZ PISSED! All that he went through and he gets killed by infantrymen...Shinra's D student! I knew it was coming and it STILL tore my heart to pieces! Such a kick to the balls

Not to mention he killed their entire army of soldiers... I mean, regardless of how strong he was, after taking on that many soldiers, he was bound to be exhausted by the time the last three showed up.

Cloud and Zack knew to much basically. They had seen what Sephiroth did to the town, and Shinra didn't want word of that getting out. So their plan was simple: Rebuild the town, place their employees in it, and turn all of the survivors from the incident into Sephiroth clones. They didn't think that Zack would escape, so when he did they couldn't just leave him alive to run around and tell everyone what really happened. Plus, Zack had been a faithful Shinra employee, and they pretty much stabbed him in the back. I imagine they were also afraid that he would be out for revenge, so they ordered him to be taken out before he could do any damage to the Shinra name.

Once you've reached Disc three, run down to the bottom of the ShinRa manor where the lab is, and there'll be a flashback. I'm not sure if you can do it after Cloud discovers he's emulating Zack though, but you'd think that you could.

No, not only that they knew too much, but Cloud and Zack where precious specimens. They'd had all kinds of experiments performed on them throughout those 5 years. They even said it in the game that inside Cloud's body he holds a sample of the S-cells, same with Zack. That's why they were being so brutally chased.

And the S-cells were the key in stopping Hollander and Genesis' degradation process. You cannot allow such specimen to escape.

I find it fascinating how SE managed to create a story within THE story. But honestly, with the events of FFVII:CC, FFVII, FFVII:AC and FFVII: DoC, that's WAY too much for one planet to go through in one decade...but that's off-topic.

So ShinRa after Zack, ShinRa find Zack and ShinRa kill Zack. That's basically the rundown. Sad, I know, but what can you do?

That bit just really pulled the heartstrings, as I'd completely forgotten that Zack dies until I'd reached Banora. There was that, and it was very fucking sudden. The game didn't even give you a chance to sit back and enjoy your triumph over Genesis D :
