Zidane...

[Lindar]

I simply did not get that scene. Garland says some stuff to Zidane, Zidane lashes back with "Dude you are so wrong, I have good friends blah blah blah" then five seconds later just thinks "Well I guess I'm an empty vessel. smurf it, I hate all of you." Then he gets injured, Dagger rushes in and saves him and he comes to his senses and realises they all care about each other but why the hell did he stop caring in the first place?

Could someone like, dissect the scene line by line for me and explain what's actually going on? I've seen it a few times and it just seems crappier and crappier every time.

P.S. The actual music in that scene is frickin' awesome, especially when that male choir kicks in!

Well I always thought in that scence when Garland knocks him unconscience and says his body is too good to make into a regular genome, but I have no choice, so I think from that point on he sat Zidane in that chair for some reason and the process to turn him into a regular one was to try and deplete him of all his emotions especially love so he could be a souless vessel like the others.

Why...why deplete his emotions? and that chair..i knew that there was something bad with it..but..why?
