Should I play Final Fantasy 7 Remake or Rebirth first?

Yes, you absolutely should play Final Fantasy VII Remake (including its Intergrade DLC) before Rebirth; they are direct story continuations of a single epic, and skipping Remake will leave you confused about characters, events, and major plot points, as Rebirth assumes you know everything from the first game and even references it heavily. While Rebirth offers a "story so far" video, it's just a refresher for players who've already finished Remake, not a replacement for the experience, which is crucial for understanding the narrative and emotional weight of Rebirth.

Is Zack alive in Rebirth?

Yes, Zack Fair is alive in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, but not in the main timeline the party follows; he exists in an alternate reality where he survived his final stand, a result of the Whispers' defeat at the end of FF7 Remake, creating a complex multi-timeline narrative that runs parallel to Cloud's story. Players switch to Zack's perspective, experiencing his journey as he arrives in Midgar with a comatose Cloud, creating a significant divergence from the original game's events.
