SPOILER

[Comet]

can someone explain (I have not played the game in a long time) how we know zack died?

[Levian]

because he was shot repeatedly with a machine gun.

[Tavrobel]

because he was shot repeatedly with a machine gun in one of Cloud's flashbacks in the Shinra Mansion in Nibelheim; found in the NTSC/Int. versions of the game

[Xurts]

If you go to the basment in the Nibelheim Mansion, you will get a scene. There is another scene on the "Reminisence of FF7" feature on the Advent Childen DVD where it shows Zack being shot in the face with a rifle.

Note that you can't see the flashback scene in the basement of the Shinra Mansion in Nibelheim until you've got Cloud back from the Lifestream. It's a pretty good cutscene that adds some depth to Cloud and Zack's character relations.

[chronic_Maniac]

There's something about the game where people think just because it shows a character die they could still be alive somewhere. j/k

[Dreddz]

Bullet to head = dead.

[Twilight Edge]

Watch Final Fantasy VII:Last Order.Nuff said.It tells you everything.

[Jessweeee♪]

Bullet to head = dead.
haha! that rhymes.

Plus in AC he talks to zack the same way he talks to aeris.

[unfairmaiden]

Is anyone else worried that Cloud is talking to dead people?

It pretty much spells out for you through out the game that Zack is VERY dead, then again you see Rufus get blown to bits and Tseng stabbed violently by Sephiroth and they both came back, so who knows

[Jessweeee♪]

Zack is dead.
He was shot in the head.
And his name wasn't even Fred.
He just wanted to be fed,
but when they didn't have any bread,
he saw red.
and instead of giving him meds,
he was shot in the head.


eh....i'm no poet.
