Repalying the original. It is interesting and in some ways I like how Zack does not bequeath Cloud his sword in the original. He doesn’t say any encouraging words. Because Zack is dead when Cloud crawls over to him. It makes it an even more tragic but quiet scene. No words. Cloud in the rain with Zack’s dead body.
there's something very funny when you play the original final fantasy 7 and the final fantasy 7 remakes back to back where the way Cloud and Sephiroth interact has completely changed due to 25 years of yaoification. in the original game they barely even talk to eachother. in remake and rebirth they can't go 12 seconds without gazing deeply into eachother's eyes
