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 :

Sheesh, that's true... but I knew that long before reaching that part... stupid friends who "spoil" endings... but, anyways, they were important experiments "That ShinRa infantryman holds the last pure S-cells."

...but, is it really so hard to find an army and a bunch of helicopters?, :S I still wonder why the turks couldn't arrive sooner...

After like two months of casual playing, I beat it. So many unanswered questions. What happened in the reactor after Cloud had stabbed Sephiroth? Where did Tifa go? Where is Cissnei? What happened with Genesis? A lot of holes that should get plugged up

As far as the ending goes though, you knew Zack was going to die and I thought it was well done. He saved Cloud by hiding him behind the rocks and facing the ShinRa army sacrificing himself for his friend. If only he had turned around when Cloud was reaching out towards him coming out of his comatose/trance state. The final battle with the three infantrymen where he is near dead with 1 HP, the music (which was excellent match; really gave it that heroic feel), the DMW attempting to land on 3x Aerith for that Healing Wave and when it did, it was too late. I was like "COME ON, IT'S TOO LATE NOW! WTF" =(

They need another movie/game or something to fill in the rest of what happened at the end

I didn't cry, but I was moved by the ending. Everything that Zack did from the reactor onwards for Cloud. Why did he, Cloud was a lowly ranked infantryman. He did it for his friend. He could have left him to die but he didn't. He sacrificed himself to save and protect his friend. A tragic ending to one of the most likeable characters in an FF game.

it was kind of weird with how many times he got shot and lived and gave his sword to cloud. i will admit it was sad but it took me a second to realize it because of watching how many times he was shot

I know... but, on another point, I'm pretty sure most of those (if not all) questions clear after FFVII, AC, DoC, etc...

Yeah, I mean, I never played FFVII, and when I played FFVII:CC all the parts of the movie that I didn't have a clue about got filled in. Like when you see Cloud go through a small flash back (in the movie) of Sephiroth standing in the flames and turning around and walking away, I had no idea what had happened and that game filled me in. I actually thought that Sephiroth was evil from the start before I played the game. And I hate how Zack dies; and with all of the stuff he said to Cloud when he was dieing "Live for the both of us.", that really got me..... I knew that Zack was going to probably die because he had the Buster Sword, and that's Cloud's famous sword, so he had to get it somehow.... I grew a really big connection with him throughout the game (I mean, he was the strongest 1st class SOLDIER ever), and when he died, it really hit me.... I think that was the stupidest thing to do to him, at least they should have gotten him killed by something that was worth it....
