Crisis Core Did you cry? Were you moved?

I didnt, but only because some idiot spoiled the entire ending on a gamespot forum without a spoiler alert i was enraged when i read it and he got like thousands of horrible comments in reply but i still got the game anyway:D
 
Truthfully,I didn't expect to cry, because I had played FFVII long before Crisis Core so I knew Zack was going to die. I admit though that Zack grew on me A LOT during the game. He's on my top ten favorite characters now. ;p So I knew before I beat the game,that I was going to cry. It broke my heart. ;( Zack was such a kind-hearted person and to see him die,much less see him die when he was RIGHT there almost to Aeris,it was heart wrenching. He went through so much and risked his life to keep his friend,Cloud, alive. Then to see him lose his memories all except for those of Aeris,to see Aeris realize Zack was dying, and to see him talking to Cloud before he died. It was way to much! Of course I cried. I still tear up thinking about it, and I guarentee you next time I play through it I'll cry just as much,if not more.
 
Greatest ending ever!!! Wasn't quite to tears, but probably as close as possible. Don't think any other game has brought out as many different emotions at once.
 
It's been about 6 months since I beat CC. I am actually on my very first playthrough of FFVII now, and I'll admit learning about Zack's story really adds a lot to VII. Just as I knew of Aerith's fate and still almost teared up yesterday when she passed, Zack's death was pretty brutal. I started the game knowing he would die and I was able to put in the back of my mind. I adored this game. When I was being considered for jury duty, people on the bus would hear "Activating Combat Mode." I was absolutely hooked and engrossed into the story. Again, I had never played VII at this point. I thought I was going to be okay w/ the foreknowledge I had coming into CC. I was very wrong. I was sad when I found out about the last letter, but what really screwed me up was the breakdown of the DMZ. The tears really poured when
Angeal showed up first, then Aerith last
as the DMZ began to breakdown. :( The song "Price for Freedom" really did me in and I was very happy my loving-yet-cynical husband wasn't around for that. He would have teased me endlessly.

Just to see if the game still makes me sad, I listened to "Price of Freedom" a few minutes ago. I still cried like a champ. Now I'm going to play FFVII(yes, on the PSX disc on a PS2) and go look for a comatose Cloud.

RIP Zack:zack:

edit: Glad to see others that also felt impacted heavily by the ending.

aw dude i no how u feel, happen to me on youtube searching on FF8 walkthroughs, stupid random vid showed up with spoilers...got so pissed >:(

anyway in the original ff7 i knew aerith was gunna die, but i didnt feel any emotion to it wats so ever i always thought it was becuz i knew it was coming

but when i played CC i also knew it was coming and i facking cried, me, a football player cried to a video game lmao
 
I didn't cry, I usually never cry to a game but I felt sadness like if I would cry any second... That happened on my second playthrough too.
 
I was 'Moved' But i didnt cry, I can understand why some people would though. You get really into the characters.
It was a sad ending, but by far one of my favourites to date!
 
I felt sad but I didn't cry, because I don't really start crying when it comes to games.

I have to say though it was the closest I've ever been, Crisis Core is too damn good!
 
I was sobbing like a baby! My sister and I couldn't believe it... (Even though we already knew that he was going to die.) It was just a lovely story about a true hero. (The only thing I didn;t like about this game was Aeris. She took some stupid pills, thats for sure.)
 
I did not cry, but I was certainly more 'moved' than I thought I would be. I've played FFVII about 15 - 20 times over the last 11 years (it's one of my favorite games ever, STFU), so I already knew Zack's fate, and had read spoilers for the game....and I still got all emotional :/

It was a beautiful and touching ending. The whole game was fantastic though.

I loved CC far more than I thought I originally would and now it's one of my favorite games.
 
i was so sad at the end, i was crying. i mean, cloud has to watch his mentor and friend dying right in front of him knowing that he did to protect him. and i felt so bad for aerith because she never found out what happened to zack, and that made me cry.
 
the ending of crisis core was incredibly sad, i managed to refrain from crying (but only just). it was horrifying, zack and cloud were used as guinea pigs in hojos horrendous experiments, they manage to escape only to run into streams of shinra soldiers with guns (slightly unfair advantage), he runs into genesis, and the turks and is eventually gunned down. it took a lot to bring him down which is good as it showed his heart and his will, but to see clouds distress written all over his face at the end was unbearable :-(
 
When i got this game i already knew how it was going to end, i didn't think i'd choke up as much when i saw it though. I really connected to Zack, moreso than Cloud and i was sad when i saw the ending.


All of a sudden i feel like playing it again but if theres one thing i don't like about the game its this, when you start a new game plus you can't skip cutscenes at all.
 
I was moved when Zack died, I almost cried because I couldn't accept the fact that he would die in the ending and never get to see Aerith again.

When my other female FF7 Crisis Core fans classmates got to the ending of Crisis Core at school, they cried and kept on asking why does he have to die and I also asked myself too why...
 
i´d have to admit, i have been big FF7 fan since childhood, so even when i saw Aeris i got tear in my eye, and at the ending i couldnt hold and filled my eyes whit tears
 
Oh my god, being a fan of FF since I was what? 6? Watching Aerith, one of my favorite characters dying brought me to major tears!!! Watching Zack die, one of my other favorite characters had me bawling! I wish he never did die :(
 
Did i cry?

Im just going to say it, i actually had a trickling tear come out of me that day when i beat it. And games/movies really doesn't do that to me. I bought the game of no awareness on Zack that much. Zack fair, was one of the most beloved characters i have come across in all of fiction i have to say. The game was building up the emotion and it completely shocked you at the end. I really like Zack more now than cloud haha. After you play FFVII, then crisis core i recommend watching Advent children again. Just the scenes with his voice, and flash backs gets your heart racing. And the very end, when they are all united at the church and in the background Aerith and Zack were there. He waves, and This made my eyes swell up again with tears. Just the powerful emotions took over, especially after knowing his story, and seen what hes been through, gosh its amazing. Thanks for reading.
 
I started feeling shitty when the stupid DMW started malfunctioning. I was like NOES~!! Even though I already knew that it was inevitable, you can't help but try and make him live. I remember I was mashing the buttons during that time.

I didn't cry, but you know that feeling when your heart clenches and your stomach starts feeling heavy?

I was feeling that.

Zack was one of my favorite characters. And it killed me to see him die. But he got his wish after all, right? He didn't get the renowned fame Sephiroth had.

But he died a hero. And, maybe, that's all that really matters.

I agree, he did die a hero, and that was the world to him.
