Zack & Aerith Romance (All Zerith Scenes) ★ Crisis Core: Final Fantasy 7 Reunion 【PC / 4K】 

What I like about the Remake is that we don't know how this ends. It was a clever way to spice interest back into the game.

It’s even more hard to watch because the voice actor is so terrible.

​@@tofadeawayagain Agreed, Caleb Pierce as Zack is just so AWFUL and robotic. I wish they got Rick Gomez back but I guess they needed to replace all the English VAs :(

Ikr it hurts so much. I'm try my very best not to sob since I'm at school rn and my classmates can see me since it's lunch break and I'm currently in our classroom but it's really, really, REALLY hard 😭😭

You're a priceless true friend.❤

I honestly have no idea what the games are truly about. When the other remake came along about three-or-so years ago, I watched its cutscenes, and enjoyed the dialogue & music accompanying them so - it was fairly different from what I am used to watch. I've got a vague idea of what the story tells, and never really considered playing it myself because of my older siblings, whom would give me the weird looks for indulging in such a _different_ game. I'm here for this one now, and I see it hasn't lost its vibe. Everything in the cinematics, the game's world, is sort of... lovely, or looks thus anyways. This is new to me. Now, what could _you,_ as a follower, tell me about 'em?

Right down to the little gesture with the finger, emphasizing the "one".

@@williamwallcroft2559 Have you had a chance to indulge yourself in FF7 some more? Got any more insight on the going ons?

Around 18:30 she said the same to Cloud - about liking his eyes

@@MissusFail No; didn't really know where to start in the franchise, and my hardware probably would not be able to run those remakes. Thanks for asking.

Well without the whispers to interfere Zack is straight killing Sephiroth if he thinks he can shishkabob Aerith again. Now we know for a fact plot armor is an actual macanic in this game Zack by right should have fended Sephiroth of at Mt. Nibel. But fate itself had him lose and be captured. I myself have been saying it since Crisis Core that a man that was overdosed and poisoned, chased for weeks dragging a vegetable with him while fighting off an entire army, slays a God while doing so right after fighting someone only weaker than Sephiroth, should have put up more of a fight while fully healthy.

At least they had that time together.

Zack and Aerith are very specials

I'm here for this roller coaster

I just realised, 23 is also how old Zack was when he was on his way to her and died..... :(

same it hurt so much to see them both like that all he wanted was to get back to her i hope we see them reunite in the third part 😭

That she didn't get to see him in Rebirth, not even locking eyes for a brief moment was a crime

Aerith was playful right from the beginning.

ow... youre right... didnt realize that one till i read your comment. even if it turns out not to be true, i would get that on my headcanon

@@ViewportPlaythrough yeah me too! it think it would tie into the remakes perfectly 😊

@@demski5643 Whoa, nice observation friend!

and they intentionally patch Remake to change her one line referencing the sky at the end. She went from "I miss it. The Steel Sky" to "This Sky, I don't like it"

They may delay it for the future games.

No they will probebly meet in the 3rd i just dont know why pepole think he is in another timeline

@@Oddfosshaugbagi Because there is a different Stamp in his reality (Shinra's dog mascot). Throughout all Remake, Stamp was depicted as a beagle, and wherever Zack is, Stamp is now a terrier.

Based off THAT scene from the latest trailer... I think they might actually be getting the reunion they deserve!

​@@funkyfranx well the actual complelling evidence is the Cloud he has with him and the uncomcious Aerith in the trailers (which could be a deflection). The stamp thing can easily be dismissed as them having created an entire new timeline they all end up in. We'll only know for sure when we see the stamps while with Cloud's party

Ironically I’m pretty sure Part 3 is going to be called “Reunion”.

@@lazuruswolf6668 I think it'll ether be that or Revival

Don't need the two to reunite as lovers for it to be a good story, eventhough i wouldn't mind it. But given they included him the remakes, it would be beyond riddiculous if the devs don't put them togheter in a scene so they can get proper closure atleast. She can get answers to what happend and he can get to say goodbye and they can agree that life screwed them over.

@@lazuruswolf6668 Sadly it can't be called Reunion. Square Enix commented on this too. They said they wanted the title to be Reunion and it would fit perfectly, but they already have a Final Fantasy 7 game called Reunion so they can't use it for part 3

They never where a couple. Aerith denied that Zack is her boyfriend because they just meet. And she never hold his hand and they never got serious. I watched the whole game and analysed it. They never had really time to blossom, cause Zack always was busy and prioritized his work over Aerith even in his free day.. :(

@@Matagu1’watched the whole game’ LOL looks like you just watched RU-vid clips not actually playing the game I see, no wonder, even a 5 year old would notice that they’re a couple 😂 the fact that he even says she’s his girlfriend in the flashback cloud has in rebirth. Stay in your lane clerith shipper, don’t spread misinformation just because you wish your copium was true 😂

​@@Onewingedwingmanagreed man, it's different from watching and playing. Because in a sense when you're playing you're entering immersion mode to understand the story more, and since we're the one moving the characters we can fewl the feelings being portrayed more.. Aerith and Zack was in love with each other, to the point that even in FF7 Aerith wasn't able to forget Zack in fact she's seeing Zack in Cloud... Furthermore, One solid proof is that she wrotes 89+ letters for Zack for four years! Now can you still deny that they're a couple?

And we would be eternally greatful to them for that.

That would make so much sense. Love that kind of layered meaning!

Tf but she's dead wdym reunion

@@roseblink5016 Your avatar with Tifa says a lot. She ain't dead unless you only paid attention while Tifa was on screen.

@@MissusFail you're in the deny💀 lmao i have tifa as my pfp bcs i love her as much that i love aerith?💀 And she's dead tf wrong with u. Why do u think everyone was crying or sad. she was killed by Sephiroth

@@roseblink5016 Who's everyone crying or sad? If you genuinely believe that, that's fine. Everyone gets to decide how to interpret vague things left for the player to draw conclusions from. What i saw was 2 different instances of Cloud with Sephiroth and Aerith in that scene. In one scene, Cloud blocked Sephiroth's sword and Aerith was okay. In the other one, Sephiroth landed the killing blow on Aerith and there was ALOT of blood. What does this tell people? There's 2 very different possibilies here. And since they're toying with multiverse now, these is 100% a universe (or more?) where Aerith lives. The fact that your brain completely rejects the possibility of Aerith being alive somewhere is what's funny about you

@@MissusFail stfu💀 i was talking about the" real" world not about the others World. You're just a hater of tifa so u hate on me bcs i have her as my pfp lmaoo big L. Ik she's maybe not dead in the others World but i'm talking about the main World and rhe original one. U can see in the movie advent children that she is really dead in the main world and she's with Zack in the"after life"

I felt this...Crisis Core changed everything for me.

I never liked Aerith x Cloud it just seemed like a whole big betrayal to me

@@dj_nahji agreed

Same man. Cloud already took his SOLDIER fit, his identity, his sword, part of his demeanor, and now was about to take his girl, that’s messed up.

@@konjiki8203 yes, this is already true even in FF7 OG, not just a retcon. And even if Zack had very little screen time in OG you could see he cared a lot about Cloud and that he still had Aerith in mind when they were going back to Midgar. Many people say Zack got changed in FF7 AC and CC, but it's not true, he was already a very good guy and was still thinking about Aerith in OG

That’s what Im saying!

Just Zack’s

She says I’ve got this like he did later in combat situations

The voice acting is wooden and awkward as hell from both

Because his personality is Aeriths. It would be too obvious if Aerith had her personslity not taken away and turned into Tifa.

No you're not alone. Me either want they together in Part 3. Zack personality is more warm than Cloud

Here for this

Not my favorite, but some parts I really like, he sounds very sweet and that fits

He sounds like an alien pretending to be human sometimes. I want to believe that the static character acting in CC doesn't help very much though and adds to the awkwardness

I think that they had to change _everyone's_ voice actors for reasons

He would’ve had to lip-sync to pre-made cutscenes, give him a break.

@@melodi_bunniezbut that’s more or less not bad. I liked the remake cast. Only ones that bothered me was Zack and Sephiroth.

Me too 😢

Cloti are just toxic as fuck and why normal non shippers hate yall

You dont brlieve how much insult Clerith get by westerners who are hardcore Cloti shippers.

@@Matagu1 trust me, i do and i hate it. i hate seeing cloud and aerith get shitted on all because there was a slight possibility they wanted to move on and not immediately be with zack and tifa right away. i'm ok with cloti and zerith becoming canon, but- like, guys? let these two fuckin breath atleast?

@@jotarokujofan702 Yes i agree. X___x

they may have recognized her but they still don't want to tell cloud, there is a lot of dialogue between tifa and aerith that we don't see. also cisnei tells you that she knows you but doesn't tell you from where.

Because Aerith last saw Zack 4-5 years ago. Zack had a different sword before Angeal. So she has no good memory how Zacks sword looks like. Also due to the fact, they meed so little and for a short time cause Zack is always busy.

​@@Kazka46well Tifas memories is kinda fucked. She thinks she was Clouds childhood friend which she was not. And Zack she knew for only one week. Unlike him, Sephiroth made s bigger impact on her then him. Years passed by and its understandable thst Tifa wouldnt regonize a sword.

@@Matagu1 I'm going off the video, he has the buster sword when he's mourning angeal in the church and aerith is there with him. The best explanation they have now is that the whispers stole their memories.

@@Matagu1uh wdym she was not??

Watch this after rebirth, this was tragic.

my zack would just 99,999 dmg Hell Firaga spam the whole Shinra Army in minutes. XD

Probably not since the Crisis Core remake is already called Reunion I'm personally betting on "Reawakening"

@@melodi_bunniez If not Reunion I could see them using Revival

Zack, Cloud mind is sick in early/mid game

@@solemijo7860 In “The Maiden Who Travels The Planet” Aerith confirms she loves Cloud more than she loved Zack. As Cloud (not Zack’s persona in Cloud’s mind) I mean we all know the canon and how it ends. Tragic for Aerith and Zack. But she did loved them both.

@@dalilasestu Why is that unfortunate? Tifa is queen 😂 I think he is in love with both, and both are in love with him hahaha It’s just timing. I personally prefer the Clerith dynamic but I am also aware that Aerith dies and Cloud needs to move on. Not that Tifa is what he has to settle for haha THE TIMING.

​@@Mari4Mari4 sorry but Maiden not canon

There is a deep bond between Tifa and Cloud. The same thing happened with Aerith and Zack. Hopefully part 3 will have a happy ending for them.

That’s because they literally kept with THE SAME animations made IN 2007 for the psp💀 Square enix was really lazy for that- i mean if they kept those animations, they could have kept the same voice acting too lmao

@@eriistaken that sucks! Especially when you’re supposed to be remastering a game. Yeah I probably would have liked it much better if they put more effort into the movement and the script. The voices are very flat

also crisis core fucking destroyed aerith's character. she's nothing like this in the OG or remake thank god

@@PenguinsAreColdish If I’m not mistaken she was only 16 in crisis core. Obviously her personality it’s gonna be so different. I just think she was still discovering herself, and I don’t think that ruined her character- but of course everyone has their own pov and opinion

@@reginageorge3399 I have no problem with Clerith, I just don’t think Zack affects how Cloud feels about Aerith. I have no problem with Cloud and Aerith being together, but only if it’s healthy. As in she’s not messing with him by liking him because of her ex, and going out her way to be with him only to later say it’s not real, don’t fall for me etc. Honestly I don’t mind either pairing, Cloti or Clerith, I’m happy for any of those to be canon. But what I don’t like is the ambiguity. Imagine if in Twilight (awful romance imo) by the end everyone was still uncertain who Bella chose. People, especially me, would then be asking what was the point? Why introduce the Edward and Jacob thing for it to go nowhere, or for it to remain a mystery. There’s other examples in film too. So in regards to FF7 why devote so much time to a love triangle if it goes nowhere with a clear resolution? I just hope the remake finally puts this to bed, and has Cloud choose either Aerith or Tifa because to me, it’s annoying to have such an important part of the game remain unclear. I have no problem with mysteries, but only if they are mostly solved by the end of it all. So either make a canon pairing, or do some Mass Effect and Dragon Age thing that lets you pick what is your chosen canon.

Hmm its still debatable if it was actually OG aerith who talked to him during her resolution scene. Because in the OG its hinted (because of the game play) that soldier cloud had "affection" for her. Also, she wasn't exactly flirting with cloud in the remake. She did that to push tifa forward. She wants those two to be together. If anything I believe aerith wants to properly be friends with cloud this time around. There's a really huge difference with her attitude in OG in terms of being flirty. At least to me she looks more like an older sister who knows it all. Now when it comes to zack, I have confidence that she has always only loved him. Otherwise the whole execution of the whole reunion theme would be ruined lol (for both pairs) if cloud and aerith actually wasn't just a red herring but had actual value. Tbh I feel bad for true cloud who didn't get a say with his own body lol and zack who died while thinking of meeting her. Or tifa who waited and became patient and understanding only to be second place despite always being the main love interest for true cloud. Its just messed up ahhaah. Id think its also messed up how aerith can move on so fast Despite waiting 5 years for zack even when she knows he might already be dead (just goes to show her desperation to be with someone like zack in soldier cloud). Btw she never met the real cloud, only told him that she might want to meet him instead (maybe she was feeling guilty after ...well kind of using him as a rebound, i doubt its love when cloud was literally unwell otherwise she's taking advantage of a vulnerable person with more than just an amnesia haha). But yeah, if it wasnt OG aerith in the resolution scene...then that only means that she failed to keep cloud's (zack influenced) feelings away (but lol its super random though) and people thought he was here confessing his undying love after a few days /hours of knowing eachother (i didn't even see infatuation there tbh but they did despite the remake heavily gearing onto tifa way to much haha). Maybe its not something she can control because Zack and Aerith have their own strong connection. But hey, we shall find out. All I know is that she isn't abusive at least and it's both her dying and the Zack thing.

​​​@@whitewolf7454 Weird how they only use this to invalidate his relationship with Aerith, isn't it? According to them, none of his interactions with other characters during that time were real. Make it make sense. Not to mention, Aerith rejected Zack in the lifestream. And yes, the book is official, recently confirmed by Square Enix because Clotis kept saying their own materials don't matter. I'm pretty sure that the book also doesn't contradict the OG, cause it was based on those informations. There is a video on RU-vid called "The Zacloud Fallacy". I truly recommend it, as well as the other videos of that person, which go in depth in regards to Cloud and Aerith's relationship. The devs also confirmed in an interview how Aerith's words contradict her own feelings in the resolution scene.

@@celineosthaus8032 Well that is a good point, if his interactions with Aerith are not valid because of his mental state, then that would also apply to all the other characters. I believe the only things he took from Zack are his stories and adventures, but apart from that he is nothing like him, with none of his memories or feelings. Are you referring to “The Maiden Who Travels The Planet?” Because I’m fairly certain that’s the only time Aerith is with Zack and talking to him etc. And from what I heard this was stated to be non-canon by most people and even the developers I think. But “On the Way to a Smile - Lifestream White” is canon and has Aerith state she loved Cloud, and had so many things she wanted to tell him, but never knew what to say and how. It doesn’t contradict the OG i don’t think, but I just heard it was considered non-canon by everyone. I personally love both women and wouldn’t mind Cloud officially ending up with either of them. But it’s clear both girls love Cloud, Tifa loving him first as shown in the “Traces Of Two Pasts” novel, while Aerith probably doesn’t start falling for him until near the end of the FF7 Remake. What I’m worried about is all this multiverse time mumbo jumbo stuff they are doing. And they might make Zack way too prominent in part 2 and 3 at the possible expense of Cloud. Also the fact he’s alive and they show him at the end of Intergrade looking for Aerith, they will probably have Zack and Aerith get together again. If Aerith would get back with him at this point I don’t know, maybe she’ll of fallen for Cloud by the time they reunite, maybe she’ll get back with him no question, or maybe it will be some awkward love square. Point is I’m not excited for Rebirth and am instead cautiously optimistic that it’s not gonna be a convoluted mess like Kingdom Heart’s.

I think Cloud does like aerith but he just cant express it properly

I would like the post-credits of part 3 to give Zack the chance to be with Aerith. The guy really deserves it. Imagine a scene with grandchildren in Gongaga

Considering in og, she runs out of his parents house upset I think it's fair to say she was probably lying to protect her feelings.

Yes It sucks

@@melodi_bunniez yes the va in kh and cc fitted his character so well :(

​​@@StarchaserArya Fr 😭😭 If they had to get one OG VA to come back for the Remake, it had to be Rick Gomez... Caleb Pierce just sounds so emotionless, robotic and unnatural

⁠@@melodi_bunniezWe must be playing a different game then cuz he sounds great. Not to mention when listening back to old VA, Rick wasn’t even all that… it’s just the nostalgia talking.

They been changed every voice…

marlene says that aerith have feelings for cloud, everything in rebirth tells u that. I really love zack and his past relationship with aerith, but now its about her and cloud

And? Aerith herself says that she is still in love with Zack. We have to wait for part 3.

@@lkay4698 And in chapter 12 she says that now she wanna be with cloud, and marlene says that too. So no, aerith doesnt love zack anymore

Aerith wants to be with both

There is a deep bond between Tifa and Cloud. The same thing happened with Aerith and Zack. Hopefully part 3 will have a happy ending for them.

If yu pick a guy, just because he reminds you of your ex, you have not moved on. Simple as that.😉

yeah but Tifa is more like Sakura and Aerith is more similar to Hinata

in what way? Sakura has a temper, Aerith is pretty chill like Hinata@@morfometa

It doesn’t matter.. it’s just a lousy remaster even Aerith doesn’t sound good and she sounds great in remake as does Zack.

​@@graynor67Naah jit trippin, Aerith sounds fine. Def not as good as Remake but still decent. Zack tho...yeah oof. Rough.

Cloud is better and far more interesting

@@Leon_S._Kennedyno

aren’t you that clerith shipper 😭

@@Onewingedwingman who? I'm a cloti and zerith shipper

@@roseblink5016 not you lol, talking to op.

There is a deep bond between Tifa and Cloud. The same thing happened with Aerith and Zack. Hopefully part 3 will have a happy ending for them.

It’s a remaster that’s it they didn’t change any of the animations from the 2007 game.

It's a remaster of a PSP game. You can only do so much.
