The ending of Final Fantasy VII Remake created many questions about the future of several characters - Zack Fair above all, as him surviving his last stand was never part of the original continuity. In this analysis, we try and put the debate about timelines, Lifestream, realities and Zack's "alive" state to rest. On top of that, we try to predict how Zack's journey could look like, how Remake's mysteries could conclude and share a possible meta-commentary that's going to blow your mind!

Due to the large volume of content this analysis covers, we split it up into 3 parts again.
