Did you cry? Were you moved? - Page 5

But I already know the ending of this game. Naturally because I played FFVII. But I just grew so attached to Zack throughout this game, and I don't wanna get to the end where that happens. I watched the end of the game on a youtube video, and sadly enough after all that I welled up a little bit and cried some(pethetic I know). It's like the Aerith death scene for me, I know its coming, I just dont wanna face it.

Anybody feelin me?

I know what'choo mean, homie. I haven't come anywhere close to tears with anything in Final Fantasy (except when I yawn while playing FFXII), but I can understand not wanting to see those events occur since you like the characters so much.

I cried alot during the ending, and I hate that such a great character had to die.

at first aerith's 89th letter made my throat all dry but i held those tears back! when i heard zack sniffling i couldn't hold it in anymore ;_; after playing a few hours of this game i decided to make zack my favorite ff character. it's so sad to see a character with such a great personality pass away. i'm glad aerith and him meet again after 5 years xD

I'm not sure if I've posted on this thread. So mods if I do infact double post I appologize. But infact I just finished the game, and I had no clue after you fight Genesis that you go straight to the battle of the Shinra and dont get a chance to do any of the missions before hand. I started to cry right after the fighting and he was standing there with the 3 soldiers approaching. And it really picked up when Cloud looks up and it shows scenes with Zack, and when he tells him goodnight.
Kudos to Square-Enix. The ending was excellently done, and it actually made me cry, a thing that FFVII was unable to do.
I feel this game was a success in my opinion in trying to tell you the backstory of Zack and get you his point of view. This actually makes it to where I prefer Zack over Cloud as a main char. I loved his character in this game, and had I not known of him dying and me playing it for the first time, I would've cried even more.
Again kudos to Square-Enix

I just now finished the game 15 minutes ago. Um, unfortunately, I didn't cry. Not because I didn't feel anything about the ending - I did. I think it was because I've read a few posts in this thread a few weeks ago and the knowledge that most of you guys cried or teared-up at the end made me expect the same result for me as well...but I just didn't cry or tear up. o.o Not even close. (And I think the fact that my brother's friends were over making a bunch of noises really distracted me and I kept telling them to shut up and be quiet.) So yeah, I was in the wrong environment...

I love the ending, I thought that it was indeed emotionally sad and very well done. I was shocked when Zack read that letter from Aerith...that "it's been 4 years". I seriously need to replay FFVII as I've forgotten all the details. The DMV scenes really got to me as well...that was a very creative and unique way of letting the players feel for Zack's final moments.

And then towards the very end (after the credits), we see that scene of Cloud on the train (the very beginning of FF7). It blacks out and then you see, "To be continued...in Final Fantasy VII". Wow, just wow. Really pulls on the heartstrings, if you ask me. This is an excellent game.

And to answer Zack's question...yes, you truly are a hero...

Having just finished it yesturday, I am at a loss for words. I was blown away by it all. It was an extremely saddening experience. Playing through the final set of battles with the DMW degrading, and seeing the after-effects in CGI, was simply breath-taking. Zack did all he could for Cloud.

A lot of the FFVII Compilation has left me feeling cold and 'pointless' but this has restored so much. Not only did we delve into Zack's life and discover more about the hero that he is, but we suprisingly, discover entirely new and deeper reasons why Cloud and Sephiroth turned out the way they were. Wow. Square-Enix really suprised me with all of that after their recent failures (in my eyes) with the compilation.

So yeah ... so sad. And the final sequence on the train, leading in to the events in FFVII, just brought it all home.

i was really moved, but i didn't cry.
it was hard to cry when i knew what would happen in the first place.

from the scenes in FFVII, in JENOVA's chamber in the reactor of mt. neibelheim, i believed zach died a lot earlier, but the game kept going.

the way he went was really sad,
but i just cant cry for something where i know the ending all along...

I just finished the game 5 mins ago, the credit roll is currently going, and I'm still crying.

now, time for spoilers:

I knew it was comming, I was preparring myself, but it didn't help one bit. During the Shin-ra army battle, the music playing, and the way Zack's DWM kept forgetting, that made me upset. The way he just forgot, being the experiments slowly eating away at his brain, or the actual fight making him forget, I don't know, but it was beautiful. And the way Aerith was left till last... Then, came the last scene, ohhh, it was so beautiful, but so sad. The music did contribute, but the whole thing, just great.

Yeah, those who played it must know how it felt. But I'm not the one to cry, I didn't even cry at my Uncle's funeral, or even when I heard the news

.

and yes Zack, you are a hero

I thought Crisis Core would be disappointing, I swore not to buy anymore ff's after XII, but I got a pleasant surprise, the battle system was different and at first I played only for the story but I actually quite like the battl
