omgosh, THANK YOU kindly for that summary, nonetheless! that is definitely. a trip, holy shit, and more than i ever would have been able to predict in terms of zack and cloud's relationship. THOSE POOR BOYS.....?? one day i'll watch a LP of this game, it's about time i get in on it.

and thank you for the link, too!

Haha, no worries!

I explained it horribly because honestly, there's an awful Lot to it, but I tried to be as brief as I could because honestly, it's kind of massive. So massive that in 2007 they gave Zack his own game, Crisis Core! ...Which. honestly, has an ending sequence which, cheesy jpop song aside, made a ton of people ugly!cry.

Butyes! Essentially, one of the things about FF7 that blew people's minds way back in 1997 was that plot twist, and the game was one of the first of its kind by having a main character in Cloud being a) a very unreliable narrator, and b) ....very mentally unwell throughout. For its time, that twist was really something!

i watched... we got the rain, the blood, final last words, an ANGUISHED SCREAM.... i may not be canon familiar, but goodness!! ( also zack's got a cute af smile, aha )

that's neat! i love unreliable narrators, tbh, if done well. and it sounds like they definitely pulled it off.
