SPOILERS If Genesis does return, how would you like to see him handled?

[Deleted member 13557]

I’d be all for Rebirth trying to make Genesis an interesting character.

Maybe growing out of his poetry phase is the first step

 

[Makoeyes987]

People actually forgetting Genesis is deadass hauled off to Deepground by Nero and Weiss for his bullshit in a specific, hyperfocused scene near the ending of the game, and thinking he's magically just not anymore are the strangest.

 

[Roundhouse]

No one has forgotten this. Genesis is a true hero and you cannot accept this, Mako.

 

[ForceStealer]

Typically, one should have actually done something heroic to be considered a true hero.

 

[Roundhouse]

He has almost united the infamously divided ff7 fanbase in dislike for him, and this is clearly heroic.

 

[jeangl123]

He also made Dumbapple Juice. What a hero.

[Makoeyes987]

That was his most long-lasting and valuable contribution to the world of FFVII.

Banora White apple juice.

....

Good for him.

 

[Roundhouse]

That is far more impressive and respectable than anything the chap in your avatar has done.

 

[Odysseus]

He provided nutrition and joy to the people of the world. If that isn't a hero I don't know what is smh.

 

[jeangl123]

His amazing efforts go unnoticed just like his long hair in Dirge of Cerberus.

People hate for appearing in the nibelheim incident, but he left his banora white juice cans for others to enjoy at the mansion! He carries those and multiple dumbapples with him to give. Sephiroth had the nerve to reject it...

Still unsure if that's Genesis or Grimiore Valentine

It's Genesis. You can tell because of his hair color and red outfit. The popped collar, pointed side, and hairstyle all match the art.

 

[Makoeyes987]

That's Genesis's Deepground outfit.

His original outfit changes upon being confined to Deepground, which is actually his first design. The Crisis Core Genesis design is a simplified version of the DC one.

 

[LNK]

He also gave a beautiful rendition of Loveless!

With Gakt still dealing with his health troubles, I can't see Genesis coming back.

 

[Roundhouse]

'As a result of the treaments, the condition of his voice has recovered but he has unfortunately also developed side effects such as alopecia (hair loss), and systemic dermatitis (a skin condition). This is due to immunodeficiency caused by a problem with his nervous system.

While GACKT’s condition has still not reached the point of resuming activity, his agency hopes that he will be able to return by the end of the year. Currently, he is “able to go about his daily activities without difficulty and will gradually return to work”.'

[Makoeyes987]

That's from May.

And the interview saying Gackt's still sick was published in July, what's your point?

 

[KindOfBlue]

Couldn’t they recast Genesis for the remake while still keeping Gackt’s original CC voicework for CCR?

 

[Makoeyes987]

I mean. They could, but isn't the draw of Genesis the fact that he looks and sounds like Gackt?

 

[Roundhouse]

Excellent point Blue, his return is coming one way or another!

 

[KindOfBlue]

I mean. They could, but isn't the draw of Genesis the fact that he looks and sounds like Gackt?

Well, extenuating circumstances and whatnot…they could keep his face at least?

 

[Odysseus]

Nothing ? shall ? forestall ? his ? return ?

 

[Roundhouse]

Even though Mako really wants to....
