Well, it did to Aerith, that's for sure.
If CC came out before FFVII, do you think the LTD would've been as hot a discussion? o:
Honestly, if not for Hojo's experiments with Jenova, Sephiroth probably wouldn't have gone apeshit in the first place. So I'm not entirely sure that not blaming him at all for what happened to Zack is entirely just.
I want to join!
I love Zerith they are such a cute couple, and the story surrounding them.... that is real "tragic love"
Do you guys think Zack would have died if he hadn't been trying to get back to Aerith?
Okay, this should prove enough. His first love with Aerith, is his last love. Therefore, first love means love.His past is completely revealed, including his missions during his time in SOLDIER, his friendship with Sephiroth, his first love with Aerith, and his meeting with Cloud.
Even after defeating Sephiroth and regaining his true self, images and memories of Zack turned to a sense of guilt which continued to torment Cloud. Suffering from this, images of Zack appear in his consciousness time and again. Zack will later become one of the driving forces to help Cloud move forward on his own feet.
As Cloud put an end to Sephiroth and broke that curse, Zack was there by his side, seeing him through.
That's a good question! =O I bet the LTD wouldn't be as prominent as it is now, if that were to happen. It'd be more obvious that Aerith saw Zack within Cloud. (With less denial from certain people. =P )
I wonder if this has anything to do with the spoilah...
