Okay, so... it's been awhile since I've played ff7, I'll admit, but...

Why doesn't Zack know what soda is? I'm pretty sure there are soda machines in Shinra HQ, so it's not a stretch to assume he knows what it is.

Well. You have to remember he was taken from Crisis Core, which is set a good seven years before Final Fantasy VII. Because by the time Final Fantasy VII rolls around, he's already deceased.

So to answer your question, he doesn't know what a "soda" is because Gaia isn't really the same as earth, and also at the time he's in ShinRa, the only thing on the ground floor/upper floors are lounges and lunch break tables. So I don't think "soda" really exists as, well. Soda in that world, and I'm not getting any hits on Google about an actual soda in the FF series. xD; Hope that clears it up.

I understand you're playing it safe, but it's honestly not a stretch to assume it exists if a lot of other modern concepts and conveniences do that aren't dependent on mako for their existence. But, hey, it's your call, yo. It's not really a big deal, ha ha.

You're right, it isn't really a stretch, but I'm trying not to assume anything that isn't directly evident/hinted at in canon. It might be a little overly cautious on my part, but better safe than not, yanno?

Think of it as an opportunity to teach him so he's less ignorant.

No need to reply to this because it's just a bundle of praise but I HAD TO SAY IT--

The Angeal/Zack action? Has me giddy with happiness. G I D D Y. Giddy. You have no idea. It's brilliant, it's IC, it's just. So much yes.

Carry on. ♥ (P.S. I'm just a random passer-by who got caught by the interesting Zack interactions at this game. o/)
