Zack Fair Joining Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep

Shonen Jump magazine has revealed that fan-favourite Zack Fair, of Final Fantasy VII and Crisis Core fame, will be joining the cast of Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep. Exciting news as Zack has often been left out of special appearances, however ever since Crisis Core he has risen among the fan-favourite ranks.

Much like Cloud Strife in the first Kingdom Hearts, Zack will be a lone soldier in Birth by Sleep's Olympic Colosseum. As the game is set 10 years before the first Kingdom Hearts, and Zack is Cloud's elder, the setting is quite appropriate for Zack.

In the magazine Zack is supposedly shown facing with main character, Terra. Ven however seems to get along with Zack just fine. Knowing Zack though, he's probably just competing with Terra, and not his enemy.
