I decided to write this post after my sister played the ending over and over again for about 3 times, showing the CGI cut scene which Zack dies. Then I thought, must all the good bishies with a heart of gold die so early yet so heroically? I swear, after Cloud screamed and the song began, Zack turned around and ‘captured’ my heart. It leaped! I couldn’t believe that it was possible to fall for a computer-generated character so easily!

Never mind, I shall now show you the ending of the game, after you fight the final battle as Zack. This video also includes an extra spoiler on the remake of the original Playstation game, Final Fantasy VII. Details about this being a true remake is not known, but fans are keeping their hopes high with the awesome cut scene graphics!

Then there’s the ending song, Why by Ayaka. The 2nd video enclosed includes the song in the background and english tanslated lyrics, so don’t hesitate to click on it and know the meaning of the japanese song. After I watched it, I kept thinking that this song was as if Zack or Aerith is singing to Cloud. The meanings all fit, especially those who know the full storyline of Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children (movie) will understand what I mean. So touching, it jerked a tear from me, which is very rare to happen indeed.

For those seeking the song, below is the song download and player on aimini. It’s faster than imeem and with the same clarity, plus endless replay. Enjoy!
