@frayedform I hate the Netflix show with every fiber of my being, but the voice acting was noooot one of its problems. Sypha and Dracula were great, and they sound just as good in this game
@gloomyanimal Well, partly yes, but then they would’ve just used VL clips from the reanimated Ulquiorra fight at the start of the film, not the scenario-specific scene in the middle of the film.
@FJubilance@Lyramaero We first see flip phones being used by Zack and Angeal 9 years before Advent Children
Zack’s still using them two years later
Zack’s still using them four years later, after he escaped capture.
Then Advent Children is two years after that.
@Laura38460211@RMcqueso By Zack’s own admission, he wants to “take up any job he can”, specifically being a mercenary who does odd jobs, because he’s not as worried about Shinra as he should be. He wouldn’t just hide in Elmyra’s house all day to avoid being caught. That’s part of his flaw as a character
@Laura38460211@RMcqueso Yeah? Tifa wouldn’t have aaany questions? About Cloud’s state, or what Zack’s doing, or how they ended up in this situation? He’d just drop Cloud like a log and run to Aerith and stay there and never look back, never go back to Cloud, never look for work? People don’t talk?
@Laura38460211@RMcqueso Obviously Zack’s role is to die and pass on his legacy. His role is not to be the hero that gets Avalanche through Shinra Tower. BUT, if he survived and got into that situation, he would have completed it! Bringing up his literary role is completely meaningless.
@Laura38460211@RMcqueso That’s an insane cope. The prompt is “if Zack survived and got to Midgar, would he be able to fill the same role, or would everyone die.” My view is that he’d find himself in the same situation and protect people, as he does. You’re bringing up his purpose as a martyr to deflect.
@Laura38460211 And yes it actually is about skill AND goodwill. His goodwill and skill would push him to get Avalanche through their reckless endeavours. He’d only become useless once Sephiroth shows up.
@Laura38460211 Tifa found him the SAME DAY, like within the hour that Cloud arrived. He got to the train station, dropped cold, the worker started kicking at him, and Tifa was right there to scoop him up. Obviously Zack would run into her too.
@Laura38460211 Unless, of course, Zack was working with Avalanche, as I propose.. in which case he would know about Tifa’s affliction and want to help, even after reuniting with Aerith.. because of the same bleeding heart that Biggs criticized him for.
@Laura38460211 Zack DOES know Tifa, and especially if he’s gonna trust her to watch over Cloud, it would be in their best interest to look out for each other. She keeps him employed, he keeps her and her friends alive. He didn��t just look out for Biggs because it was a dystopia, he just cares.
@Laura38460211 Zack tried to find Biggs because he’s someone he had even an inkling of investment in enough to not want him to recklessly die in a bombing. He literally sought out Avalanche from the poster because he thought “this is stupid, I need to go and help these guys from getting hurt.”
@Laura38460211 nope, I’m just using logic to reason that Zack would join Avalanche and see it through that people survive against Shinra up until Sephiroth shows up, where he would be powerless and “useless” to Sephiroth’s goal.
I know his actual place in the story. But he would be effective
@Laura38460211 You do realize that, not only does Zack need work and thus money, by the time he reunites with Aerith, he would STILL go out on the missions to keep people from recklessly dying in their attack on Shinra? Like, he’d still go to the tower with them to make sure they survive.
@Laura38460211 Why would Zack even care about Biggs? Why did he risk his life to help him when they just met? Because of his bleeding heart and self-sacrificing personality.
And unlike Biggs, he actually knows Tifa.
I agree things would be different, but he’d still protect people the same.
