SPOILERS Ways to ruin part 2 and beyond

What if, because the arbiters of fate are gone, in this new, unpredictable timeline, Genesis goes to kick the football to the kid in Costa Del Sol and it explodes and kills him and he's never really spoken of again aside from being an afterthought in conversations.

Like, "Hey, remember that SOLDIER poet guy? Man, noughties celebrities were so lame" and so on and so forth.

Maybe the same way as NewGame+ Seph?
If I recall, Shademp's theory was that the destruction of Omega at the end of Dirge caused some space-time distortion, which Sephiroth would have used to go back in time, Genesis then awakened to pursue him. So yeah, I guess. I don't think square would have the plot of the remake hinge on Dirge of Cerberus though, that was the lowest selling compilation entry so not as many people would be aware of any of those plot point. I think it'd be convoluted even for them anyway, but who knows.

Like...Nobody gives a fuck about Genesis lol

At this point the people who are afraid or hate him think of Genesis more than Square does. Gackt is washed out, he's no longer widely popular, and Square doesn't need the publicity (or neg publicity at this point) to sell the Remake. He's between superfluous to active liability.

It's 2020, no one cares about Genesis/Gackt.

I don't care about Gackt. That much is true, but Genesis still has Blast Processing!

And PLEASE get Steve Blum back for the voice of Vincent! His recent role as Sub-Zero convinced me that he's still a great VA.

I gathered it was some poor attempt at a Romanian "vampire" accent, but I don't actually know.

I'm pretty sure he had the same voice actor (Robin Atkin Downes) in both games, he was just allowed to talk normally in Crisis Core. (EDIT: NOPE, some other dude in Crisis Core)

And I liked the song Longing, too. Didn't hate Redemption either, tbh, but I prefer the former.

Worst things for me:

- The more they veer away from the OG
- Any timeline shite
- Creative decisions made that dont fit in with the lore. A theory and addition I love the idea of is how Sephiroth can have partial control of the liftstream and Cloud visions because he is encased in it at the moment (if its like the original). With Aeriths connection to the lifestream its like a mental battle back and forth. Perfect.
- Summons can only be obtained in VR.
- Chadley
- That red circle boundary that stops you from going off the beaten path.
- More whispers
- Changing Aeriths fate.

I wish I could believe that, but didn't they already confirm the existence of Genesis and Angeal when Hojo mentioned G-type SOLDIERs?

Also, even if he's confirmed to exist in the world of the Remake, there's no reason for him to appear. He's in stasis under Midgar somewhere for at least 3 more years.

If they get high on Remake money and make a sequel to Dirge, then I guess we could see him.
