If you look closely at the <a href="http://yuusha.org/img/age.jpg" target="new">file</a> Tseng holds in his hand in Last Order, Zack's age is 18, same as Cloud's. But he was dating Aeris, who would have been his senior by a year. At any rate, 5 years passed from the incident at Neibelhiem, which Zack and Cloud spent as Professors Hojo's experiments to the time Zack was cruelly gunned down. So Zack was more than likely 23 or 24 at his time of death. Oh, and for his height, taller than Cloud by far, nearly as tall as Sephiroth. </p> <p> <B>PERSONALITY?</B> Zack had a brillant personality. The kind of cocky that wasn't arrogant, but cocky because he had faith and assurance in his abiliaties. Rightly self-assured. Kind, carefree, outgoing, Zack constantly put his life on the line for people he barely knew. He could have went off and let someone else handle Sephiroth. He could have left Cloud in his Mako poisoned state. But he chose to try to make things right. He chose to believe in the ½0ë0¸0ã0ü0n0‡ŠŠ00(soldier's pride) that his mentor and best friend Angeal always spoke of and act accordingly. Nothing at all like the twisted corporation he was working for. Zack was also a bit of a flirt, but ever respectful.</p> <p> <img src="http://yuusha.org/img/tanks.gif" alt="Zack" align="left"> <B> SUCCESSFUL EXPERIMENT?</B> While trying to avenge the townspeople and bring Sephiroth down, Zack is injured, obviously to the point of incapacitaion. He and Cloud are wheeled off as Shinra works to rebuild Neibelhiem and cover its tracks. For five long years, Hojo keeps them in tanks experiementing on them. What experiment? Well since his son, Sephiroth, fell off his rocker and jumped (was knocked off by Cloud?) into the Mako/Lifestream at the bottom of the Mako plant, Hojo was attempting to create a Sephiroth clone by lieu of Jenova cells. Zack was the 'failure', because the cells of Jenova seemed to have no effect on him-- he was able to escape, fight off countless Shinra soldiers and the Turks and maintain his sense of self. Meanwhile, Cloud the 'successful' experiment remains in a comatose state and looses his sense of self. Later in the game, before the boss fight with Hojo, Hojo reveals that Cloud was actually the success. Zack died, and the others were zombie-like, black cloaked figures seeking 'the reunion'. Sephiroth was able to extend his will beyond his suspended animation within the Lifestream only to Cloud in order to achieve his goals. </p> <p><BR></p> <p> <img src="http://yuusha.org/img/cliff.gif" alt="Requiesce in Pace" align="left"> <B> ONLY THE GOOD DIE YOUNG</B>: The way Zack talks to Cloud throughout Last Order and Crisis Core is touching (see <a href="lastorderquotes.html">LO quotes</a> section). They weren't friends since childhood. They weren't family. They weren't even in the same branch in Shinra. What Zack does for Cloud isn't out of charity, Zack wants to get away from Shinra and make a life for himself, and since his comrade is in no shape to do so of his own accord, Zack did for his friend what his friend could not do for himself. After all the fighting, loss, and pain he went through, he was gunned down on the cliff overlooking the destination he strove so hard to reach- Midgar. When Cloud finally comes around,takes in all nearly all of Zack's attritubutes, including his title of Soldier:Class 1st, and forgets that there even was a Zack. Zack's death went uncounted for-- Cloud didn't even recall his existance for the longest, and none of Zack's friends nor his parents knew anything of his passing. </p> <img src="divider.gif"> <p><a href="javascript: history.go(-1)" onmouseover="window.status=' &return'; return true">&cast your fears aside</a></p> <p><BR></p> <p><BR></p> </div> </body> </html>
