What is the 'Zack Project'?
Crisis Core was recently released for the Sony PSP and as far as Square-Enix are concerned, the story has now been told in its entirety. That does not mean to say there wont be any more FFVII games in future (we can hope!). When I first completed FFVII back in 1997, I didn’t fully understand the plot due to its sheer scale. Even now, 11 years later, it's not much easier! The plot is deep and intricate and if it were a novel, it would be a literary masterpiece.
One character inparticular is integral to the story, but you can play FFVII without realising this. That character is Zack. Zack is mentioned several times in FFVII but you never really comprehend the significance of this mysterious character. I am going to play through Final Fantasy VII for what seems like the billionth time and I am going to write down and note any references I find that relate to Zack. I will also take screenshots for illustration for fans of the original and for anyone else who cares to follow the project.
Why Are You Doing This?
I’m glad you ask. The reason is simply for my own understanding of the game, and for anyone else who is curious to know what they might have overlooked. So let the journey begin! I am going to play FFVII from beginning to end in order to capture every reference to Zack that I can find in the game. Thankyou for reading. Bookmark this page. The journey starts here.
