Between pages 274 and 298 of the Crisis Core Complete Guide, lies the Keyword Explanation section, a section of the book that explains several keyword plot points within the Compilation of FFVII. The Lifestream.net has hosted a few translations from this part of the book, but these are only a select few of the plethora of keywords contained therein. It is now with great pleasure that we host several more translated by hitoshura, from page 274 of this book. And you can be sure there will be more to come as well. You can read the new translations done here. Be sure to check back for more! A big thanks for hitoshura for working through my blurry scans to do this. We definitely appreciate it! ^^
Here is a special post devoted to the mysterious Goddess who appeared in Crisis Core. All of the translations comes from the Crisis Core Complete Guide’s Keyword Collection.
Minerva (p. 296)
With her body clad in an impressive suit of golden armor, she is the existence that transcends all matter. Beneath her helmet, she is a beautiful woman with blond hair and green eyes. In Scene 10-06 Genesis fulfills his wish to meet her, and she appears in Mission No. 288 “The Reigning God.” She is interpreted to be the Goddess mentioned in LOVELESS, but in terms of substance she is similar to a summon, though it seems that the purpose behind her actions is to follow the intentions of the Lifestream.
Today we feature translations from the Crisis Core Complete Guide, specifically, from the Keyword Collection which explains and defines certain plot points and terms from the Compilation of Final Fantasy VII. Enjoy!
Angeal Copy
Subjects of the copy technique where Angeal’s cells were used. Within the game, this includes a variety of monsters and Lazard. When using monsters as the subjects, they were unable to take on Angeal’s form, and instead an image of Angeal’s face appeared to be grafted to a part of their body. Incidentally, though not all of the Angeal Copies that appear in the game are monsters, Angeal’s cells were used primary to make copies from monsters while Genesis’ cells where never used to make copies from monsters.
Furthermore, Angeal Copies do have an ability to call to one another, but they can only have a general understanding of each other’s situations. An example of this ability is how Lazard was able to coax the Angeal Copy living in Aerith’s church to come help him in Banora.
Biorhythm-Testing Materia Equipment
Designed to work in the Virtual Reality System’s cyberspace, this materia works in tandem with the examination equipment. To facilitate Hojo’s observations, a compatible Fusion Chamber had to be built. As it is full of highly specialized equipment, the amount of money needed to repair it after it was damaged by Sephiroth, Genesis and Angeal would cost an amount equal to 24 months worth of Zack’s SOLDIER 1st Class salary.
Chocobo Racing
Competitions, both professional and amateur, that allow people to race their chocobos. In FFVII and BC, the Gold Saucer professional races pit six riders and their chocobos against each other.
Cloud and Tifa
Cloud and Tifa are childhood friends, both born in Nibelheim. When Cloud leaves the village, he calls Tifa out to the water tower and promises that he will become a SOLDIER. At the same time, he is also made by Tifa to promise that he will come to rescue her if she is ever in trouble.
Following this, the pair experience many hardships, such as the Nibelheim incident which also appears in CC, and the Jenova War in FFVII, and through these the distance between them shortens. And in AC they live together, with Barret’s daughter Marlene and a boy named Denzel. Though there was also a period later where Cloud lived away from them after having contracted Geostigma, they finally reach a commune with each over and return to living together once again. In DC, they rush together to Vincent’s aid, in his battle against Deep Ground SOLDIER.
In honor of Final Fantasy VII’s 10th Anniversary, Square-Enix published the “Final Fantasy VII 10th Anniversary Ultimania” in September of 2007. This 207 page book was given a limited release, with only 77,777 copies printed which were included in the Final Fantasy VII 10th Anniversary Potion bundle. This guidebook acted as a reference and compendium of plot information from the entire Compilation of FFVII, for fans who wanted a collection of all the information of FFVII in one source.
Here at The Lifestream.net are translations of this Japanese exclusive book that were previously hosted on Adventchildren.net, containing the profiles of the characters of FFVII and other relevant plot information. Selected Translations of the Crisis Core Ultimania, The Final Fantasy VII Ultimania Omega and the Crisis Core Complete Guide are included here as well. Every day, we will post translations from these books so please check back often.
Many thanks to all the translators who worked hard on making this Japanese exclusive info available to the rest of the fans of FFVII so that they may enjoy the information as well. This Compilation project would not have been possible without the work and contributions of the following people.
