Added DiffLines:

* Take a step back and think about the characters Zack met, and how he changed them.
** Tseng, the very definition of a ConsummateProfessional in a job where pragmatism is key, goes against orders to kill Zack and mounts an operation to save him instead. And he held on to 88 letters for him. Yes, he intended to give them to him personally.
** Cissnei helped Zack escape Nibelheim and Gongaga. After his death, she then left the Turks and stayed in Gongaga to watch over Zack's parents.
** Aerith built up the courage to go sell flowers topside, despise her fear of the sky.
** Cloud became happier as he worked with him. And while things get complicated, in the end, he still did become worthy of being Zack's living legacy.

Added DiffLines:

* Zack can join his own fan club (run, or at least heavily contributed to by Cissnei) early into the second half of the game and is only the 12th member. By the end of the game, depending on actions Zack has taken, the fan club can have 1,024, 51,836, or 109,348 members by the time Zack is declared dead by Shinra when he's on the run. The fan club will get a final email with a message from either Zack's mother, "Black Suit" (Cissnei), or Aerith thanking the group for their dedication.

* When Sephiroth gives Zack permission to return to Midgar because there are reports of monsters in the slums -- it's pretty clear that Sephiroth knows that Zack would be worried about his girlfriend (even if Sephiroth doesn't explicitly know that it's Aerith). That faintest hint of an indulgent smile on Sephiroth's face as Sephiroth reassures a flustered Zack that they'll meet again soon....
