i played crisis core only recently ONLY because i'm a fan of his japanese voice actor who happened to be his design inspiration (when i say fan i mean like as in a fan for YEARS. gackt is cool lol) and i don't regret it. this game was genuinely so good. gackt being the guy influencing what i like because of media he appears in fr
i was so worried that with the release of reunion the unwarranted genesis hate due to fanon flanderisation would get worse again and i absolutely love that while yes, there's more genesis hate, there is also more genesis appreciation because people are finally realising how good of a character he is. he's been wronged his entire life and he's making it shinra's problem. honestly good for him. good for him.
I agree whole heartedly!! I actually only got into the ff7 fandom a few months before Crisis Core Reunion came out, and Genesis was my favorite character before I even TOUCHED the game. Seeing all the hate around him made me sad which is what inspired me to make this video, because the boy deserves some love
@@the.ghost.avocadoe and thank you so much FOR this video!!! genesis(despite my pfp, and as you can see by my username)is my favorite ffvii character by far and i love seeing that new fans can also appreciate genesis! that unfortunately was not the case a while back, especially during the time ff7r first released.
Had a dream last night where I was playing CC and got to the final boss Genesis, I felt like something was off as we were having a dance fight with karaoke and ended up coming back here
I was so down bad for him while playing Crisis Core and now that I’ve seen him again, I still am. He’s just so pretty in his scenes. We love a poetic KING 👑 💕
Probably the most underrated character in the entirety of the FF7 timeline. This dude took an incomplete poem, saw through the bullshit, realised it was actual supernatural stuff, decided to use it to heal himself and his honour, and *fucking pulled it off.* He's a drama queen as much as you like, but you can't deny he was the only one in Crisis Core who knew what the hell he was doing XD.
I feel like there's some stuff I'd change about his character and backstory, but it's honestly a lot of fun to watch him be melodramatic 24/7. Especially with Zack literally telling him to shut up. Also he's got a smooth voice.
Sorry for the random choppy audio whenever the footage zooms in, my editing software is really cheap (I use capcut) so some bits are off-time or a bit wacky 😭
I don’t mind his new voice, but his VA also voices Shiba from Neo: TWEWY, so every time he speaks I’m expecting a “Got some red-hot news for ya” and “I bid you adieu” which I feel like Genesis would say to be dramatic
Ngl, I miss Quinton flynn as reno, mostly because I'm a fan of his voice work. Zack's eeeeeehhhhh, not great, but he had gotten a bit better in rebirth. However, I do appreciate aerith's and nanaki's new voices. Especially aerith's, her old voice was terrible. But the other voices sounded the same and I couldn't tell the old actors were fired. Cloud sounded like Cloud, Genesis was pretty good too! berret was great, cait was great! I miss steve blum as Vincent, but his new voice wasn't that bad ether. Heck, they got an old Vincent fan boy to voice him! I'm familiar with Matt's other work, like yusuke and Jotaro (jojo). The new voices were a mix of great and terrible in my opinion. And the old voices were mixed with good and terrible as well.
i hope we get him in ever crisis too!! Also I knew about him being Gackt since he's literally in my profile picture lol. Also he does J-rock and Vkei, not jpop. :)
@@the.ghost.avocadoe his stuff is considered jpop! just 2000's jpop to be specific. i'm pretty sure in the 90s and 2000s jrock/vkei did reach that point. kind of with malice mizer, the gazettE, buck-tick, l'arc~en~ciel, etc., and all lol
I've been playing this game for the first time recently, but before going in I already knew most people seem to hate Genesis. Personally I love how extra he is though lol.
Basically: He got sick with an incurable disease that Shinra caused so he rebelled against the company and tried to get his friends to join him as well.
We love some rare Genesis appreciation in this house ❤ I love this edgy theatre kid so much; he's so overhated and it's genuinely not fair because he honestly doesn't deserve the hate
although it's obvisious tha he ist NOT exactly your fav character *lol* : I love Genesis! i love his theatrics, his caramel voice, his little bit arrogant (feline) behavior He doesn't only just walk like an angel: he is one!
Genesis is awful unsympathetic character. You would expect, that he would make at least good final boss, but he is so awful that he instead join you at the end.
@@the.ghost.avocadoe Hello, you found my comment hateful? Sorry for that, didn't meant it that way. It is true, that I don't like Genesis. But also it is true that I appriciate him a lot. Mere fact that he managed to survive CC where Angeal, Sephiroth and Zack all died is astonishing and in fact he had worse starting position than the others. He used strange method to achieve his goal but it worked to large extent and even goddess herself cured him, so he really made some right decisions. He is really great and effective character. And that he is not too lovable? He is antagonist in game so it is quite normal and desirable actually. Your video is very good and I really like it. Genesis is underappriciated and I would gladly learn more nuances of his character and his motivations. I thought that my comment described him quite well, He is not too lovable and real drama queen but when it is needed, he manages to do right things. This is your video and I respect it. If you don't think my comment is enriching, answer me and I will delete it. Thank you.
I swear to God, Genesis acts like there’s cameras on him at all times. What a drama queen. 🤣
He's so dramatic for absolutely no reason, I fucking love it.
i wouldnt be surprised if his middle name was dramatic
@@the.ghost.avocadoehis middle name is loveless 😂
I love him. Total drama queen, absolutely full of himself, he’s ALWAYS the problem because he wants to be. I love it.
"I've got 99 problems and I caused all of them" in human form
His voice is so calm sounding and alluring, yet his words are insane😮 😩
This character is the biggest guilty pleasure in my life lol
REAL
Completely agree
After Sephiroth went insane he started acting and talking like Genesis (minus the Loveless quotes).
Am I the only one who's noticed this?
A genuine menace - a true theatre kid.
Even if the morrow is barren of promises,
nothing shall forestall my return.
fav quote of him fore lol
3:23 that walk brooo 😮💨
I love him sm and his voice is just-🥵
SO TRUE
OMG yes 100% true honestly 🥵
i played crisis core only recently ONLY because i'm a fan of his japanese voice actor who happened to be his design inspiration (when i say fan i mean like as in a fan for YEARS. gackt is cool lol)

@@rymaixWatch Bunraku then. (If you haven't already, he plays one of the main characters)
@@mariogirl8100 i've heard of it and seen some stuff of him there. i'll see if i get time soon lol
Genesis over here just speed running Kuja's arc from Final Fantasy IX
Not to KH2 in main, but Sephiroth “got it memorised”
goated reference, 10/10
1:30
Imma tell my kids this was William Shakesphere 🍎
Hes so overdramatic this is my favourite video ever
i was so worried that with the release of reunion the unwarranted genesis hate due to fanon flanderisation would get worse again and i absolutely love that while yes, there's more genesis hate, there is also more genesis appreciation because people are finally realising how good of a character he is. he's been wronged his entire life and he's making it shinra's problem. honestly good for him. good for him.

Bro literally ghosted Sephiroth… Sephiroth!! It’s hilarious 😂
Had a dream last night where I was playing CC and got to the final boss Genesis, I felt like something was off as we were having a dance fight with karaoke and ended up coming back here
this is probably the wildest comment I've ever gotten on this video and I'm glad you posted it
I was so down bad for him while playing Crisis Core and now that I’ve seen him again, I still am. He’s just so pretty in his scenes. We love a poetic KING 👑 💕
Man Seeing so many Genesis fans makes me feel great! Honestly the amount of hate he receives is a bit too much imo.
people just hate him because theyre jealous smh /j
Probably the most underrated character in the entirety of the FF7 timeline.

You are absolutely right, but i still don't like Genesis.

I love mid-2000s melodramatic Japanese game writing
Me whenever genesis start speaking gibberish: ok I believe you
SO REAL
Sorry for the random choppy audio whenever the footage zooms in, my editing software is really cheap (I use capcut) so some bits are off-time or a bit wacky 😭
People saying they hate the new voices, but what about Genesis's new voice? I prefer that one more!
I agree!! Shaun Conde did a great job voice acting him!
I don’t mind his new voice, but his VA also voices Shiba from Neo: TWEWY, so every time he speaks I’m expecting a “Got some red-hot news for ya” and “I bid you adieu” which I feel like Genesis would say to be dramatic

The new voices were a mix of great and terrible in my opinion. And the old voices were mixed with good and terrible as well.
Love me some Genesis compilations
He is literally me
He is one of my favorites ❤
Right though.Anything he read would sound good
He could literally start an ASMR channel, and I don't think anyone would mind that much.
What's that?
@@aylahodson4128You... Don't know about ASMR?
@@mariogirl8100 no
Just looked it up@@mariogirl8100
Aaah the Crisis Core remake brings back the Genesis love, good simping memories
I wish there was a short animated series featuring those 3 during the war going over the battles the Soldiers fought in.
I love this Drama Queen. But I also love your Video with the comments. You're right. x)
I love him so much he’s such a goober😊
Omg same
Love you for getting all of these scenes together 💗
Genesis fans in a nutshell:
He’s an asshole but he’s my asshole
*This post was made by the Silver Elite*
Sephiroth fans in a nutshell:
murder? what murder? he's the best guy around
This post was made by Red Leather
r/IAmTheMainCharacter 🤣🤣🤣
Basically him, but I hope he gets to be playable for Part 3 of the Remake Trilogy.
Genesis is too awesome and Loveless is too cool that the haters get instantly triggered. BRING HIM BACK FOR THE 3RD GAME SQUARE!
Plz Sony!!!!! Let me play GENESIS RHAPSODOS!!!!!!
We love a Red Drama King™ in this house
i pray we get him in ever crisis as for why is he so pretty he is based on the j pop singer Gackt.
i hope we get him in ever crisis too!! Also I knew about him being Gackt since he's literally in my profile picture lol. Also he does J-rock and Vkei, not jpop. :)
Ugh I LOVE Gackt. I thought Gackt inspired Reno too, who I used to love

He gets so much hate, but i love this dramatic mf 🥰
I love these kinds of videos
HELP not his dramatic hand gestures.

@@the.ghost.avocadoe Genesis is my least favorite character in Final Fantasy 7. But he’s my favorite character in Final Fantasy 7 Crisis Core.
Someone please edit Sephiroth’s and Genesis’s fight scene and put Monty Python ‘‘tis but a scratch’ scene audio over it 😂
How can anyone hate this guy other, than being an Antagonist?!
I want this guy to return as the true final boss.
Love him❤❤❤
I hope your return genesis
Hey I'm from the future, and guess who got name dropped in Ever Crisis?
Nothing shall forestall his return.
@@renren47618 Yes.
@mariogirl8100 Is it really confirmed he will be added to the mobile game?
i love this character lmao ppl hate on him so much tho
Eu amo esse palhaço ❤❤
Loveless
@the.ghost.avacadoe I really enjoyed seeing Zack be disgusted when Genesis's copy ate his hair, his expression was hilarious
i was waiting for that explosion @3:38 but i failed.
You're right I should've put one there
I always found his motivation and what he's doing just confusing.
Basically: He got sick with an incurable disease that Shinra caused so he rebelled against the company and tried to get his friends to join him as well.
Genesis did nothing wrong😭
@Regulus no genesis hate in mi casa
he did everything wrong and we love him for it
@@QueerVoid youre right actually
We love some rare Genesis appreciation in this house ❤
I love this edgy theatre kid so much; he's so overhated and it's genuinely not fair because he honestly doesn't deserve the hate
Who doesn't love edgy characters? Nothing wrong with it ❤
