Back now.
My mother sang some stuff. We made fun of bad movies. I showed her some of Crisis Core's hilariously unironic cheesiness. She has decided that A) Angeal is pissed because he only has one wing and thus can only fly in circles, and B) he looks like one half of a Victoria's Secret model, and C) the whole thing should have been a musical since everyone keeps speaking in what sounds like song cues.
It's sort of sad how Zack's dialogue wildly yo-yos back and forth from actual dialogue you can imagine an actual relatable human being saying to YOU ARE DOING "UPBEAT" WRONG to the same pseudo-deep bullshit you'd get out of a fourteen year-old girl "aspiring songwriter". Rick Gomez is certainly trying, to be fair (no pun intended), but you can only work with what you're given.

MY SOUL IS DARK BUT MY HAIR IS COLORFUL — Brahian Pokémon AlchemistI also love the music right the fuck out of nowhere.
If there is one thing the Compilation absolutely fails at, it's subtlety.

UN JOUR JE SERAI DE RETOUR PRÈS DE TOIZack was the best thing about that trainwreck, but unfortunately it wasn't Zack's game, or his story, and they didn't flesh him out so much as had his life revolve around a self-insert and a badly-executed concept. It was the Original Characters' Fanclub, so the whole thing was doomed from the start. Cloud and Zack got all of one scene together detailing how they met and became friends. Gee, thanks. Because that wasn't extremely important later on or anything. Nah, just gloss over it. No missed opportunities there.

You should hear Genesis's stuff. Goddamn emo poetry. What my mom kept calling song cues.

MY SOUL IS DARK BUT MY HAIR IS COLORFUL — Brahian Pokémon AlchemistThis is the only scene they share together. Period. At all.
THEY ARE BEST FRIENDS NOW SHUT UP THAT IS HOW IT WORKS.
MY SOUL IS DARK BUT MY HAIR IS COLORFUL — Brahian Pokémon AlchemistThat's another thing.
They didn't even bother to get another actor to play a younger Cloud. Or even tweak Cloud's character model so he looked younger. There's being sixteen, and there's having a twenty-five year-old render and a forty year-old man voicing you. Which you can get away with when he's voicing a man in his twenties. But not a kid who hasn't even hit puberty yet.
It's a reverse-Shelke.
Having trouble finding Genesis stuff that isn't in Japanese.

MY SOUL IS DARK BUT MY HAIR IS COLORFUL — Brahian Pokémon AlchemistMediocre at best. I found it... playable.
Which is a hell of a lot more than can be said for Dirge of Cerberus, which didn't have ANYTHING going for it, not even good concepts executed poorly or one interesting character.
Words do not do it justice.
Actually, this might. (Ganked from the guy who LP'd it.)

MY SOUL IS DARK BUT MY HAIR IS COLORFUL — Brahian Pokémon AlchemistCid did not get to do much of anything. He was just sort of there.
He has thirty seconds where he gets to be Cid. And then he goes back in the box of Vincent Supplements.
And keep me posted on where you are and what you are feeling when you experience it. This, I have to see.
