Zack’s death in the og compared to cc is so much more quiet. Like in cc zack has a sort of proud/brave stance and fights a whole platoon until he’s absolutely drained and defeated, but in og he quietly runs off screen and fights just a few soldiers, to then run back onto screen and check on cloud briefly before he gets shot again and this time killed, before he had the chance to fight again. It’s interesting to see how they portrayed his death in both games. I like to think that cc version is the way Zack imagined it, a heroic last stand, while the og is the reality of how it went down, quick and silent, no last stands.
