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

[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....

 

[ForceStealer]

As would any red-blooded human

 

[Tetsujin]

He's gonna be a VR battle and they'll reuse voice clips from CC, problem solved

 

[Roundhouse]

Booooooooooo.

 

[Makoeyes987]

He's gonna be a VR battle and they'll reuse voice clips from CC, problem solved

That's pretty much what I figured.

 

[Odysseus]

Nah, if he returns in any capacity it basically has to be plot related. Even Weiss got some story to contextualize his VR battle, it wasn't included arbitrarily.

 

[Tetsujin]

Time to ring up Respeecher if they must then

 

[ForceStealer]

So then would the amount of contextualization Weiss got be adequate?

 

[Makoeyes987]

Genesis is asleep below Midgar. Nero and Weiss cart him off to Deepground and he seals himself away. What contextualization is he going to get?

 

[KindOfBlue]

I think there’s only so much they could’ve done while still in Midgar but when the world opens up, who knows

 

[Makoeyes987]

But Genesis is in Midgar in year 0007.

So why would he be somehow more likely to show up outside of Midgar than within it?

 

[ForceStealer]

I'm sure he's going to make an appearance one way or another. But become a major player in the plot? I don't see how.

Whispermachines, son

 

[Makoeyes987]

Hm.. Actually I could see him show up as a Whisper phantom like Kadaj, Loz and Yazoo did in Part 1.

Granted that would only be a boss fight like the others and he'd look off like they did lol...

 

[Odysseus]

Time travel nonsense is what I'm expecting. Part of me feels like Weiss's appearance is subtly setting it up.

 

[Roundhouse]

Very possible. I'm remembering when they included that line about raising the curtain on the final act for Weiss promo or whatever.

 

[Makoeyes987]

GDS is a chronic, systemic condition that does not clear up with 1 or 2 treatments.

Good luck!

 

[Roundhouse]

If Weiss can make it into remake, Genesis coming back isn't unlikely at all, come on. He's just so hated that many hope that he won't be back XD

 

[Odysseus]

Go read the back and forth I'm having with Mako . It's made for you lol.
