Right. It makes no sense to do ever crisis and. CC remake. Unless remake truly is a sequel thing all the way, but then, what is Crisis Core Remake? ConfusingNo Square will surely put two separate remakes of Crisis Core on the market at the same time
Well, yeah, it was starting to look like it might be. Whats interesting though, is what a CC Remaster/Remake means for FF7R. Namely that it indicates that Zack will have a major role in Remakes story. Possibly larger than many who were expecting him to have a major role already were expecting.
I also think this throws out the whole "Zack will be an alternate universe side story" speculation. He will most likely be a part of the main story proper.
Funny enough, while you may be right about Zack having a bigger role, I think it could as well indicate that his role will remain delimited to the OG's story (aka he can't really interact with the main plot before at least Cloud gets back his memories in the Lifestream). Narratively, releasing CC again to the masses mean that this guy you barely saw in Remake, well... here is his story. Learn to care about him, to want to know what's happening on his side of the story, the mystery surrounding him. It also strengthen the idea of death that he and Aerith represent versus life that Cloud and Tifa represent. The heroes and the normal people who become heroes.
There's honestly a lot of good and interesting tropes, narratively, that they can use even if they delimit Zack's role very tightly, and even more if people know him. So they'll want new players to know him. This is the best way.
