While I am sad that they're basically saying Crisis Core isn't canon or doesn't exist anymore. I am happy to always have more Zack. As one of five people on this board that played the fuck out of CC, I'm excited.
Zack will be a permanent party member in the second part of FFVII Remake
Tyler Flores
Brayden Gutierrez
bring back his old voice
Lincoln Sanchez
I just want to be able to romance Nanaki.
Noah Butler
I think Zack would completely overshadow Cloud, but I dunno. could be great. Zack is a great character.
Cooper Robinson
I think it will either be a side story within part 2, or a DLC episode type thing like in FF15 before part 2 where him and alternate non amnesia cloud are gonna do some random bullshit in the same assets as part 1 given they're heading to midgar and they will probably have a dumb anime fight with sephiroth or some random space threat and they will sacrifice in order to make the main cast safe from some random shit they will never know but will keep being hinted at in a 4th wall type of way in part 2
Chase Allen
Only operator mode. Cloud's punisher mode is based off of Sephiroth's fighting style.
But yeah, Cloud is canonically just a Zack rip-off. What would they do to make the two distinct?
Ryder Long
Cloud dies protecting Aerith and Zack becomes the MC. Him and Aerith live happily ever after at the end. Tifa hangs herself.
Aaron Howard
If Zack is alive, the entirety of FFVII never fucking happens. Nomura and the gang of hacks never thought it through when they went ahead with their time travel bullshit.

>If Zack is alive, the entirety of FFVII never fucking happens.
THE FUTURE IS NOW, OLD MAN! But, no really, it kind of sucks because it also makes CC non-canon as well. So EVERYTHING that happened in CC never happened, including Zack's death.
Henry Wood
Should have had an anti-hero Sephiroth clone that plays like him, with excessively long katana-type blades.
