Well he is a first class SOLDIER. The other 1st class before him were big enemy bosses so, he's probably on that level too. As for Cloud, he isn't really 1st class. But he does get stronger with every tragedy he goes through just as what Sephiroth mentioned in FF7R.
I never really hate genesis. He just really hate shinra and he wants to save himself from degration. Shinra is guilty for his problem and Hollander is the one behind this misery. He even asked Zack to join him against shinra in Banora. If Genesis wasn’t so annoying with those Lovesless crap and actually explain to people, things would have turned a lot easier = =
When I picked up this game again I was expecting it to get emotional. What I was not expecting was to feel so angry at Sephiroth and so sorry for Genesis. I mean, they're both misguided but with a similar backstory, Genesis was just trying to save his own skin and get back together with his two friends whereas Sephiroth decided he now owns the fucking planet.
I will forever die on the hill that genesis was right hes just a bitch by nature. Shinra screwed all of them over so bad but sephiroth is the one that decided he needed to rule the world meanwhile genesis just wanted his fucking friends back and to not die a miserable rotting death. It's bad enough angeal kills himself and im pretty sure he was 90% of the impulse control between gen and seph. Poor zack is thrown into this madness and expected to take on the mantle of angeal. And despite everything gen isnt a villain by the end of the game the creators even recently said the secret ending in DoC isnt meant to be malicious on gens part proving if he does come back it wont be as an enemy. He got his honor back by the end of crisis core. Gen is one of those characters i love to shit talk but i will fight to defend his character.
It supposed to be an cameo in the original and a younger self. They didn't fix anything but instead did it because they added him in intergrade. So it's not a fix. A change instead
Welp, that explains why Genesis called Weiss his brother in Dirge of Cerberus. HOO-BOY, I have a feeling that Genesis is coming back in the Remake trilogy (mind you, despite the name being FF7 Remake, this is actually a sequel and not a remake)
It was actually stated that Weiss and Nero retrieve Genesis in the original, hence why he appears at the end of Dirdge of Cerberus, but yeah they made it more obvious to identify them, as oppose to the original where they had a standard SOLDIER first class model.
It's interesting that Genesis Did NOT died in Crisis Core, but for some reason idk he doesn't appear in FF7 and only appear in a secret cutscene of Dirge of Cerberus
It is very likely that he will appear in FF7 Rebirth. Weiss and Nero were already introduced in the 7 Remake dlc. Not to mention that this Crisis Core Reunion came out just now, because since the 7 remake, there are traces of time travel, and the Rebirth trailer already starts showing the past, so it is very likely that Genesis will appear again.
@@staullerfair5458 So, Square enix idea with this Remake of 7 is precisely to fit in all these characters that were left out and only appeared through standalone games, like Weiss and Nero, and be fitted in the main game. If I'm not mistaken, they recently said this in an interview. And the supposed time travel that Sephiroth did is increasingly being reinforced by Square enix itself, which will make characters who have already died appear again, as Sephiroth is changing the timeline. So we're certainly going to see all those Crisis core characters back. About Dirge of Cerberus. They said they have no plans for the game. But I believe they will do a remake or something in the future.
Zack is an absolute monster: was capable to defeat Angeal's Monster form been just a rockie, he was able to put a good fight to Sephirot itself, defeated Genesis in both phases, and most importantly, he endured for hours against a entire Army! Man, Zack should be a living God of War by Final Fantasy's standards.
Man this Genesis Avatar version is way more easier on the ps4/ps5 then the psp version it took even longer and i remember i was leveled up alot more on the psp i beat this boss at level 35 on ps4.
For anybody not understanding why the ending is different.. This is the new timeline where sephiroth is defeated into Advent Children. So crisis core - Ff7 - Advent Children - Restarted timeline - Crisis core remake - Ff7 remake - FF7 rebirth.
@@WeaponXSigma You are correct, however I only listed the main games/movie of which really need to be followed. I should have placed dirge of Cerberus in there however as it does fill a decent gap of knowledge. Just not many people, only hardcore fans have actually played through dirge while the lessers seem to have played/viewed the others
Zack is a downgrade, Genesis was also better in OG, but its not a huge problem. Still better than that lackluster OG (referring to the awful combat thanks to these DBM interruptions)
It's amazing how cloud is knocked out and surrounded by them angles sprit, the derictor of Soilder,zack and genesis clouds dream his goal was too be soilder 1st class and he ended obtaining their sprit within him when your surrounded by it you become it 1st Class solder
Can someone help me understand the ending? What hapenned to genesis after he was defeated, and why zack left genesis in there, and why did that guy from dirge of cerberus took him away?
Genesis was taken away by Weiss and Nero because Genesis despite being a failed project, still had S cells, and due to having recovered from the degradation, was now viable for harvesting. He was for reasons unknown moved to a secret underground lair and kept in stasis Zack only wanted to save Genesis, and left him there thinking he'd get back up and leave
Man, this is so cringe. Why did they screw this up by changing voice actors? Holy balls, they suck. Except Angeal's VA, who at least tried to sound like his predecessor.
You don't have to play it, voice sounds fine, Rick Gomez wasn't that good either ya know, replaying the PSP version....they weren't that good haha, but sephiroth still had impact
@@godofsin4604 I’m buying it regardless and the previous voice actor for Zack fair did a phenomenal job compared to the new guy, and that’s not me hating on the new guy he probably did see the scenes he was voice acting and just read from a script cause that’s how he sounds like
@@s.2685 when I was 14 playing this game for the first time he was phenomenal, was he amazing no , even the writing for this isn’t legendary but it was a fun experience nonetheless
Can definitely appreciate previous voice actor more than this new one. Sound monotone now and the old voice actor had more emotion and energy in his voice, at least to me.
they changed the battle mechanics now the game too easy because they didnt change enemy battle mechanics lmao. dude just sat there and did nothing 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@Bornagainvillain want to hear more spoil?? its 100% remaster..no add content..no more story and zack still will die...but i dont care...im still gonna play
Genesis is such a weak character. In writing, and his final human form boss fight. It's funny how SE even excluded him (and Angeal) from FFVII Rebirth.
I mean , FF7 Rebirth and Remake takes place after Crisis Core so Angeal would be dead and Genesis should be with Weiss. Genesis still has a chance to shine if they remake Dirge of Cerberus and maybe give it a dlc wrap his story
Coming from someone who’s played the original. I’m honestly not feeling the remake. With the way gaming is now I can literally cast my phone to the tv. Download the game etc. these devs have no new ideas so they regurgitate old things from our childhood for profit. Naw I’m good.
I think this was more of a remaster to not only test future battle mechanics but also get people reacquainted with Zach since he was brought back for remake.
Zack is so strong he can fight a big last boss alone. In the traditional Final Fantasy RPG’s, big last bosses are fought by the party.
dirge of Cerberus also 1 to 1 fight..
Zack is Final Fantasy!
Well he is a first class SOLDIER. The other 1st class before him were big enemy bosses so, he's probably on that level too.
As for Cloud, he isn't really 1st class. But he does get stronger with every tragedy he goes through just as what Sephiroth mentioned in FF7R.
Noctis fought Ardyn alone too!
Got bodied by infantrymen. He's so strong.
"The planet has become my guardian"
that phrase gives me goosebumps
I never really hate genesis. He just really hate shinra and he wants to save himself from degration. Shinra is guilty for his problem and Hollander is the one behind this misery. He even asked Zack to join him against shinra in Banora. If Genesis wasn’t so annoying with those Lovesless crap and actually explain to people, things would have turned a lot easier = =

Thus why this game was remade in the first place Genesis is coming back indeed.
Was that Weiss 18:08 ? That is a change from the original. I guess that is how they’re connected in the Remake timeline.

I need them to release the OST so I can make a comparison between the original and new tracks. I'm loving them so far but I need them ASAP 😤😭
Lemme know brother! I’m loving these new arrangements for the game!

Kinda wished they updated the cinematic scenes, but it's still good.
Now I see how recicled the sword of Genesis in FFXV for the Sword of the Father

Probably not, they're just probably random infantry men who worked with him

Technically Rick can be back as Zack but they fired the original casts instead
Rick Gomez all the way
Did Genesis was voiced by Yuri Lowenthal?
Shaun Conde
Hmm, not only character voice change, the music is also rearranged huh?
2:54 when friend taking all my foods
HAAA! DAAAA! HAAA! DAAAAA! HAAAA! DAAAAH!

All Weapons have a giant red materia on them and is what you target to destroy in FF7...you destroy a giant red materia to defeat Genesis
Hold on.
Did the Angeal clones stay alive until Genesis's dream of sharing a Banora, came true?
That was lazard the genesis copy that watched over cloud when Zack went to confront genesis
Bro just want their friends back.
im laughing so hard this sounds like a fandub
this sucks so bad
Who is the lady zack sees in the mako...?
I’m not really a fan of the new voices. Seems so bland compared to the originals. But I’ll still give it a chance.

Weiss with Nero next to him.
