Going from Persona 3 ending to this kinda fucked me up a lot, it really got the point ''Am i masochist for doing that to myself?''
Crisis Core is one of the few instances that you know a character's death is coming one way or another, the odds not in the favor for the last 2 chapters is already obvious enough but man, the way the showed to you the final cutscene and Zack's face is just too painful to watch, a lot of people including myself the highest point of this game is the ending itself. But something about the post timeskip writing and decisions regarding to Angeal dynamic and the moments they had just hits to deep to the core and even more with Aerith's relationship with Zack, Zack's being busy with Soldier work all the time and carrying the reputation of being Soldier 1 and the same can be applied to Aerith's position of being the only Ancient and being watched by the Turks both having their share of trouble but still trying to relationship hurts the more you realize it.
The soundtrack is one of the most beautiful and cohesive work i've seen in a while, Takeharu Ishimoto being the lead composer did wonders while respecting Uematsu's work and giving a lot of life doing the battle/boss themes, all of them sounds inspired while constantly using motifs from the Title Theme, Price of Freedom and one more that i forgot but they all sound different and the contextual usage for all of them has a purpose that really hits to the player.
I think my issue regarding to this game is just sometimes this game can give actual good scenes that enforces Zack's dynamic with Angeal, Sepiroth and others while giving the more unecessary padding while speeding running at times to get the story going while not giving that much space for some of the plot points or decisions in the first half.
Nevertheless still a good game that really felt needed to tell in Zack's POV and connection of Cloud came in and became part of himself.

Persona 3 was always on my mind in terms of wanting to play on it regardless of mutuals back then hyping about it or having deep talks with it, it always interested me in a way.
Eventually got me playing the FES version which it's not a bad in ways to most people but it always rubbed me and felt it wasnt interesting as went on and suddenly dropped in the middle of the game. I geniuely felt that i was forcing myself to play it and eventually felt it wasnt healthy in a way to get through when the famous quote '' xx hours the story gets better'', i really don't think i maintain the same the same line of thinking that i had years ago especially after finishing the remake.
Hearing a lot of rumors about Persona 3 got me a bit hopeful on thinking of the nature of playing games in a way, i never hold expectations on games except on 2 series that i always hold a bit of high regard since i've always keep my eyes on and what to expect but Persona for me is a bit different, especially when i have a lot of issues that i don't like to talk about it especially talking with most of the circles i was and i'm still in but i was always open to try a Persona game even if the perception of people were 50/50 a bit of the time. In a way, it's fun the way it was present and showed for the first time but it was exciting to look forward to play a Persona game that's really hold in high regard to people and play the remake in real time.
Still have so much to say about this game but I can't write too much since i just finished it and the thoughts in my mind are all over in my head but it's fair to say that all my issues regarding with FES were all destroyed, Reload really made me impressed with Tartarus especially getting the point of me wasting nights just to have fun in tartarus which is crazy to think about it since i never had the motivation to unwingly grind at times in FES.
Giving a try to Persona 3 again and finally understanding on what makes this game feel so special after finishing always hits in all aspects even for me with low expectations in regards of people thinking of the remake and the purpose it brings.
But i feel happy after knowing that i finally get it after waiting for so long.
