How can he make a speech.. when he got machine gunned in the head? Ever seen someone do that?, what about his face, imagine how that would look like?
One or both points could be true. If you check his face you'll see that the blood is coming from somewhere above his forehead/temple.His hair concealed the head wounds.
Being more serious, though, perhaps the rounds' impact still caused internal damage even if the bullets didn't pierce his skull.
His DMW had deserted him. He lost his ability to call on limit breaks. Then he died.
Its more that it seems ironic that you can use phoenix down on dead allies. But a critical plot makes them dead forever. There is something in that that i dont quite understand.Dude, Zack was equipped to automatically use potion when HP is low. He had 99 of them.
The most consistent way to look at Phoenix Downs is something like CPR or life support. They can keep someone just barely alive until they get proper medical attention, but they're just buying a bit of extra time, they don't actually fix the gaping hole in your lungs by themselves (and have some limits)
Using a Phoenix Down on Aeris wouldn't have helped, Sephy just would have killed her again, and then JENOVA held off the crew until she was brain stem dead.
Or, they're a gameplay mechanic, because it would suck if you couldn't revive characters somehow.
