Does anybody know what happpened to Zack after the olympus colesium?

sorry if there is a thread about this.

hm, I suppose sephiroth happened, at the end it shows zack watching herc train, then a black feather falls tot he ground, and zack is gone.

We don't know yet......or we'll never know.

The feather was an allusion to Genesis, I think, rather than Sephiroth.

 

He probably just went on training and joined SOLDIER like in Crisis Core.

No. it was an allusion to Sephiroth. Zack probably died or something when Sephiroth arrived. or he left.

As much as I'm all for a Genesis reference, its bad enough Sephiroth is present with Cloud and the others in an alter-canon that makes not the slightest bit of sense because its far from its original FF7 context. If they're not going to bother introducing an official Jenova aspect to the series, then Genesis has no place there.

 

Personally, I've been known to roleplay into that and studied Jenova in great length to think about how her existence would best mesh with the Kingdom Hearts canon - as a world eater, similar to a giant Heartless. Do I think any of it will actually be touched on officially? Probably not, and even if so, not with any real focus. The Sephiroth, Zack and Cloud of Kingdom Hearts must be treated as completely separate from their FF7 instances, and this includes losing connections to supporting characters like Genesis. (Afterall, Aerith is still alive, why's Cloud so emo? It's not like it was his fault their world was destroyed because he accidentally helped Sephiroth do it. It's just not - afterall, something that important would have been mentioned. )

 

Nothing that happened in the original FF7, or any of the Final Fantasies present in Kingdom Hearts, matters at this point, and their original canons can only be used to allude vague concept overlaps. =3 I do, however, hope for more information. That feather at the end of Birth by Sleep intrigues me, too.

maybe he went looking for aqua because he thought they were having a date

a. Sephiroth killed him and the game just says he "mysteriously vanished" since death doesn't exist in KH. (They could just say he took a trip to the Underworld and never came back...)

b. Zach IS Sephiroth (dun dun DUN~) due to some kind of incident or something...? but considering Sephiroth is supposed to be Cloud's darkness I don't think that would really be possible... x_x

c. Sephiroth dragged Zack to another world or something (like wherever Cloud and Sephiroth went after the fight in KH2) and has been there since...?

d. Something Genesis related

Sephiorth killed him.

i saw no blood so i dont think zack is dead all we saw was a black feather thats not enough evidence to me to go off and say zack is dead in kh hes just missing

Whatever happened is not important. That has nothing to do with the story what so ever.

i think he's M.I.A (missing in action)

No one knows, but it's clear the feather was hinting at something, Zack seemed 'suprised' when it floated past him. I get the feeling it'll be explained in a future game. Feels weird that he just disappeared like that, and was never seen or heard of after Birth By Sleep though.

 

The whole feather scene to me reminded me of Crisis Cores ending, where the feather flys past when Zack asks if he became a hero. That's just me though.

his probably gonna appear in later games but i wanna see that date between zack and aqua lol

I don't think the feather really has anything to do with the story in Kingdom Hearts, but rather more of a little 'surprise ending' for those who would recognize the feather from Final Fantasy VII Crisis Core, nothing related to Birth by sleep I'm sure. It's just extra.

To those of you saying that Sephiroth killed Zack. Zack is too young in BBS, Sephiroth would still be a good guy at this point.
