Crisis Core Did you cry? Were you moved?

Omg, don't even bring me back here man...I cried like a baby...I cried so much it's not even funny...oh man..that is THE saddest ending I have ever seen, omg I think imma start crying now too T_T
It was so damn sad and he was so close to getting to Midgar too...that just wow...touched me in ways I dun wanna be touched any time soon
 
I HAD to fight back the tears. Even though the ending was a bit obvious... It was still pretty damn sad! Poor Zack... he tried his hardest and he dies :( It was one of the sadest endings i've ever seen.
 
liked the ending but brought on the water works

OK first of all I have to say I was surprised because I expected it to end in the mako reactor.

With that being said, The minute I saw all of those infantry men I had a feeling something like that would happen.

Then I knew he was going to have the old Butch Cassidy and Sundance kid ending. For those who have not seen it, The movie ends the same way except it was in the western times.

I loved the ending it was full of emotion, and I liked how the DMW reels worked there, how it pretty much tells you whats going through Zack's mind.

The ending also made me cry like a baby I almost wished it never happened but of course if it didn't then FFVII would have happened much differently.

The ending also made me hate shinra, but still like Rufus.

I'm glad that Zack was at least still alive to talk to Cloud one last time.

Lastly the ending gave me the urge to play FFVII and watch advent children again and everytime I see it I keep wishing that the turks would have gotten there faster.

Well, it's really rare for me to cry and it's even rarer for me to cry while watching/playing something but let me tell you that this one game sure got me. I was in a train and had to hold up my tears (would've been too embarrassing to start crying in a train full of people). So there I was, sitting on my chair, watching how poor Zack got killed by those 3 stupid infantrymen! I was about to cry when my dad (who was sitting just in front of me) said a stupid remark and all the emotion was gone after that >.> Yeah, it sucks!:mad:

But seriously, if I had been left alone I'd had cried a lot! This was one of the few times that I got like attached to a character (and who wouldn't? Zack is just lovable!) Heck, I think I like Zack more than I like Cloud now:P
 
i cried like ALOTTTTT...:'( it just touches me the way zack lost his life to protect his friend ... and he wouldnt back out just to proove that he had enough honor to stand on his feet and fight like a real man....
the most sad ending ive ever seen :'(
 
the first time i finished it was on the last day of school during my free lesson and when watching it i was crying like a maniac, heck i was on the verge off tears during the fighting, i'll never forget the amount of random stares i got that day.
But i think it is such a moving ending.
im actually crying now just at the thought of it TT__TT
 
man...it's pretty tense. even though you know he isnt going to make it, you REALLY want him to make it because of Aeris. pretty sad i'd say but didnt make me cry. If it was a movie...maybe.
 
Just finished Crisis Core!!!!

Just finished the game and I am depressed haha. Game was great dont get me wrong but the end is so sad. Really wish Zack would have lived or atleast saw areith one more time. Anyone else feel the same way?
 
It was a sad ending but if Zack would have lived it would have totally fucked the story of VII up completely, that would be like bringing Aerith back in Advent Children. So folks, they didn't REALLY die we just made it look like they did and felt like ruining the impact of their deaths from the original story :monster:

I'm glad we didn't see more of Aerith either, I thougt she had more than enough screen time, and Merc pointed something out in another thread about her going on about making that fooking flower wagon, I swear that's all she ever said :ffs:
 
There was already a thread on the ending of CC so I went ahead and merged the two ^^ Please look around before creating new threads just to check a similar thread doesn't already exist ^^
 
I knew it was gonna happen, just like everyone here I would assume, still didn't change the fact that i was mashing the PSP yelling "Don't Die Dammit!". Damn I did not think I was gonna cry like I did haha. I was swelling up when Tseng said to go save em. Then Zack sets Cloud down and walks off into the distance as Cloud stretches his hand out.

What really set me off though was when the last three grunts come and Zacks still determined to protect Cloud...dragging the Buster Sword at his side and staggering and then gets shot and that last DMV of Aerith just hovering...showing his mind fading and him trying to survive just long enough to make sure Clouds alright.
Then of course the passing on of the sword and Aeriths reaction, knowing something bad has just happened and Zacks final words.

Biggest tear-jeerker I've seen in a while. Something Square was always good at really lol. Making me get attached to characters only to see them die.
 
I knew I was never going to play Crisis core because I don't own a PSP so I watched the FMV's and Cutscenes on YouTube and I cried at the ending :sad2:They made such a small conversation between Zack and Cloud so strong and Cloud's face through the entire thing, where he looked so confused and when he was crying, was just so sad.

When Zack died smiling that was really moving. And lastly when Cloud looked unhappily upwards to the sky before sighing and saying his last words, you could really see his pain.
 
Man, if someone said they didn't care that Zack died after playing out the game and seeing the ending, I would slap them(well, not really, unless it was some dude i could easily own).
The last few years of Zack's life is lived out so horribly, and then he dies right afterward! =( So sad~
 
I didn't cry but I did find the ending disturbingly sad. The last few years of his life are torturous and I'm surprised he made it that long and it's so unfair that Shinra actually killed him. Why couldn't they just let him live on?
 
yea... knew it was gonna happen but just didnt want it to happen v.v what an evil game, they make you like zack and throughout the game you knew he was gonna die
 
i've almost cry and i were about to smash my psp

it's just very sad the whole game is dark because you know that zack will die at the end
 
I cried-- because it was terrible.

One of the many, many things that made Final Fantasy VII so revolutionary was the death of Aeris. Not only that she died, but the way that she died. It was unexpected, cold.

Looking at the relevant character development and mechanics, her removal was superbly executed. Aeris, as a protagonist, was developed on par with the other characters-- her history, dialog and relationships grew at the same pace as the others. If Square had forced her, made her overtly 'special,' manipulated the player's attachment to her, her impending death would have been much more obvious. The triangle between her, Tifa and Cloud was mid-stride-- they even gave her a final limit break.

There were subtle clues such as Cait Sith's fortune as well as the overworld theme but she was there-- and then she wasn't. Gone. That was that. She didn't have a chintzy, teary monolog before she died.

This is relevant because it made her death hit hard to the characters and the players. Everyone, in game and tangible, felt that loss and it's reality. Final Fantasy VII was a dark, dark game with limitless depth. To me, that is it's most attractive element. Aeris’ death changed everything in game from the motivation to the music. From light and optimistic to desperate and hopeless.

This brings me back to Crisis Crap. Change what they may, the one inevitable thing, the one thing that could not be changed or distorted– Zack’s death, was. When the video started with Zack laying in the rain spattered in blood, I was so hopeful. "For the both of us... you will live." Hand on Cloud’s neck... Perfect.

Except he doesn’t die. He goes on a twenty minute, redundant, cheesy death-rattle. When he does die, he dies smiling. If that’s not enough, when he finally shuts up and dies he starts in on a band-aid monolog again. It was as if Sqeenix does not trust it’s audience to handle profound emotion. They sugar coated it, dumbed it down. No, really guys, it’s cool. Everything is okay. Sure, dude just now full of enough lead to be an environmental hazzard, but it’s okay. He's got wings now! He's a hero! Have some closure. Have some more.

By Zack dying the way he did, I feel that it significantly took away from the legitimacy of Cloud’s character and in the most important places. I wanted to see why Cloud is so messed up– not as an observer but from his perspective. Being given that prozac ending takes the edge off of something essential and honest-- and as an end result looses the capacity for necessary empathy.
 
Wow...errr, bitter much over just a simple little prequel PSP game? o_O You're about the first person I've seen to have a raging ranting moment over this game. xD
 
Ranting? Not quite. I don't mean this to be rude in any way, so please don't take it that way.

Sharing applicable points with other members of a demographic is considered by some an attempt to initiate intelligent discussion.

Maybe I should make a poll instead about which character has better hair if nobody is interested in anything relevant? I hope your response is not an accurate indication of the activity of this forum. I look forward to having conversations of substance if they are available here.

I am interested in different elements of games than the majority of gamers. My interests exists in games as a credible vehicle for story-telling, something that once belonged only to books and film. That is why character psychology, story structure, music as manipulation, etc are so important to me. Video games have a social-stigma and I'd like to see that removed.

I don't mean to offend anyone with my opinions-- just express them and hopefully find others with interests similar to my own.
