The Genesis Sequel

[Loxetta]

Whether Denzel is a parallel to Cloud or not, I do think that a new RPG with him as the protagonist would perhaps be best. A RPG with all of AVALANCE returning would be nice, save that Cloud and Vincent should start at level 60 with the best weapons they'll be able to obtain. Now another action game like CC or DoC could be an option too but I think the Compilation should end with a proper FFVII-2. Between Shelke, Marlene and Moogle Girl, Denzel at least has assembled enough female characters for a new date sequence.

Lolwat. If Marlene stays at Seventh Heaven Denzel will probably see her as a sister for the rest of his life. And Shelke will probably stay nine forever.

And I doubt Genesis will be just sort of wandering around sightseeing for ten years or whatever until the kids are grown enough to do something about him anyway. If he's going to do something he probably will be doing so in a few years at the longest, so it would be on AVALANCHE and the WRO to stop (or help?) him.

developers stated they want Shelke to age normally hereafter.

Genesis wants to protect the Planet. That much is certain. So he doesn't really have any reason to make a move until a new threat presents itself.

Ah, okay then.

He must have a reason already, or he'd still be down in that cave in that big floaty bubble. A reason that, as people have said, must be a bigger threat than Meteor, Geostigma/the Remnants, or Deepground's Planet-Suicide plan.

Considering Geni woke up -right- after Omega Go BOOM, it's probably related to the aftermath of that somehow. Like... maybe since the normal Lifestream couldn't leave, they're going to catapult Jenova's blue ass back into space

From what I can tell, he was woken up by Weiss, maybe Nero didn't want to quite wait for Genesis to get off his ass on his volition to get First Aid. They were kinda dying.

So a great threat to the Planet that only one of the last self-proclaimed heroes of the world can deal with was an EMT call?

I dun buy it. I agree that it must have something to do with Weiss, but there's got to be a much bigger thing in the works that requires attention, or they wouldn't have gone through the trouble to build up Genesis to be a more ambiguous character than the DoC ending portrays.

 

[Unlucky]

Here, I'll give it a shot:

DoC showed that not all the people with Jenova's cells decided to go have them removed. They may not have even understood why they had Geostigma in the first place.

So we have people all over the world still living with small fragments of Jenova inside their bodies (see, I'm even throwing the word "fragments" in there so it kind of sounds like the stuff they did in DoC).

Because Lucrecia's cave is where Chaos and the tainted mako were discovered, it also made for a great place for what remained of Sephiroth's Lifestream to take up residence, hiding out until he grew strong enough to act through it again.

So, the remaining Jenova cells scattered through all those people are gradually brought together in the body of one Lucrecia Crescent, the person with the most Jenova material still inside her body. Maybe this happens because Sephiroth's will manipulates someone into it, or maybe he takes over her body. Isn't really important right now.

At the same time that all this is going on, we learn that it was either Chaos' full awakening or the destruction of Omega Weapon near the end of DoC that awakened Genesis. Because of the prior loss of the rest of the Weapons, Minerva accepted him as the planet's new guardian, to awaken in its time of need, and granted him all the power of a Weapon during his sleep.

Since he didn't wake up when Meteor was summoned, he probably sealed himself away after it happened, shortly before the Tsviets defeated the Restrictors only to be trapped during Meteorfall.

Now awake, Genesis senses the growing danger to the planet as Sephiroth tries to revive. Also, because he's hanging out with Weiss, whose body Nero merged with, he knows about tainted Lifestream, which is connected to Lucrecia, who's connected to Shelke.

Believing that Shelke could be useful in locating or hindering Sephiroth, who's gathering/acting through Lucrecia's body, he kidnaps her, bringing him into conflict with Cloud and the rest of the team.

Various things happen, but Genesis and the others are unable to prevent Sephiroth's eventual rebirth, which takes place in the body of his own mother.

Genesis decides that the only way left to save the planet is to try bringing back Zirconiade. Elfe and the Turks obviously oppose him, as does Avalanche.

Things culminate in a three-way battle between all factions (maybe even a three-way battle between Cloud, Genesis and Sephiroth, thematically tying things back to the three-way fight in CC between Angeal, Genesis and Sephiroth), with Sephiroth and Genesis being defeated for good.

..Wow.

I hope Square stops trowing shit in and out with FFVII.
