#Keeper of Genesis

[altocat]

Not me sitting around late at night thinking about Genesis and Lucrecia both being physically immortal thanks to the Jenova cells, both sealing themselves away as a form of atonement, and both eventually breaking free to meet decades after everyone else is dead.

And both regretting the fact that they both loved Sephiroth and will never be able to apologize.

What do you get when you have access to terrifying voice cloning AI software and every single voice line from Crisis Core? Silly shenanigans from me, apparently! (I’ve always wanted to hear new voice lines from the classic Crisis Core cast... this is as close as I’m gonna get!) Anyway, figured it would be cool to actually hear the conversation talked about in the Keepers of Honour mails...

Today's update features a conversation between Angeal and Genesis.

G: You'd better do something about those plants in your room.

A: Those plants represent nature. Some of us converse with nature to hone our spirit and honor.

G: And some of us are getting bugs in our rooms because of those blasted things.

A: Come on. Don't you remember? We used to have bugs in our rooms all the time when we were kids.

G: That's why I hate them. And the past? It can stay there. We're in Midgar. We're not supposed to have nature here.

City-born Genesis, and nature-lover Angeal: so completely different, yet friends all the same.

Final Fantasy Record Keeper Final Fantasy VII Free Relic Draw

In the Final Fantasy Record Keeper (FFRK) mobile game, we sometimes get free draws. One of these is from a Final Fantasy VII banner.

Or at least I think this particular draw is from a Final Fantasy VII (#ad) banner. Unfortunately, this banner showed up a really long time ago so can’t remember all the exact details and information anymore.

Looks like I forgot or just somehow wasn’t able to take more notes regarding this banner. I’m pretty sure my pull on this banner was free though and that said banner is related to Final Fantasy VII based on the relics that I got.

This multi-draw gave me 2 6-stars, one new and one dupe. The new 6-star I got was one of the Ultra Soul Breaks (USB) of Vincent Valentine from Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII and Final Fantasy VII.

This Ultra may be new but meh. Wasn’t really pleased to see this since Ultras are kinda outdated by now.

The dupe I got was the Arcane Overstrike Soul Break (AOSB) of Genesis Rhapsodos from Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII.

Arcanes can be honed by making use of dupes or Scrolls of Honing. Once an Arcane has been honed to the max, it will now only cost 2 bars to cast instead of 3.

So getting a dupe AOSB isn’t that bad. But of course, it’s still better to get something new.

Normally, I wouldn’t have bothered to take a screenshot of a pull like this because getting an Ultra and an Arcane isn’t really something I’d classify as good even if both had been new.

The reason why I bothered to take a screenshot of this draw though was because of Genesis. Currently, he’s my absolute, most fave Final Fantasy char. He’s the reason why I’m playing Final Fantasy Record Keeper.

So unsurprisingly, I already have all of his currently available relics. I pulled for said Soul Breaks the moment they’d been introduced in FFRK.

Now I’m just saving and waiting for whenever Genesis will get something new. Because of course all of Genesis’s Soul Breaks are must-haves for me.

Anyway, admittedly, I was disappointed when I saw the dupe of Genesis’s AOSB. But a part of me was still kinda, sorta not that sad upon seeing it.

I guess I wasn’t as annoyed as I normally would have been had this been a dupe of another char’s Soul Break.

Of course, still would have preferred to get something new, especially if it’s something new and it belongs to Genesis. Really hoping he’ll get a new Soul Break soon.

Anyway, Genesis’s Arcane Overstrike Soul Break is called SOLDIER’s Epic. It comes from a light armor-type item called Genesis’s Guise (VII-CC). This is Genesis’s red leather coat from Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII.

The animation for Genesis’s Arcane features his best friend, Angeal Hewley from Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII.

There's also the fun fact that Angeal's last name means "trees" and his fanclub's original Japanese name means "Forest Society":

Unfortunately Square played right into my hands by giving Angeal Latin limit break names, so let’s have a look!

Serit Arbores - literally, “He plants trees.” It’s most likely a reference to Book 1 of Cicero’s Tusculan Disputations, “On the Contempt of Death,” which features a fictional speech by Cato the Elder praising elderly farmers that dutifully tend to their fields for the benefit of the next generation. Cato quotes a line from the poet Caecilius Statius:

“Serit arbores quae alteri s[a]eculo prosint.” (“He plants trees so that they may benefit another generation.”)

I believe this could be a reference to Angeal’s SOLDIER Honour, the legacy that he passes down to Zack.

“SOLDIER Honor, the catalyst for Genesis's change in values, is the Gift of the Goddess for him. As SOLDIER Honor represents Angeal's wishes, it can be said that Zack, who inherited Angeal's wishes, was the Gift of the Goddess for Genesis.” (CCCG, 2008 p.274)

Angeal’s legacy, carried out first through Zack, and later Cloud, serves to benefit others long after his passing. Additionally, his dreams and honour speeches were given to many of his junior SOLDIER members and likely continued to inspire them too. This is why I believe the choice of this Limit Break name to be very intentional. Of course, given that one of Angeal’s weapons is a shovel (😭) we could understand it at the surface level meaning (Farm Boy Angeal planting apple trees 🤠🍎), but isn’t it fun to dig a little deeper?

Ad Astra - “to the stars.” This could go in many directions as it’s a popular motto on its own, but perhaps its most frequently seen within “per aspera ad astra,” “through hardships to the stars.” I think this could be a reference to Angeal’s life journey, which saw his humble beginnings in a poor family and his rise to the very top ranks as a SOLDIER First Class. It also may reference his wings. From the Crisis Core Complete Guide:

“The white feature, as well as being a symbol for Angeal, is also a symbol for ‘wings’. The “wings” which cross the ‘blue sky’ is Angeal, and it also includes the hint that in order to reach those heights, dreams, he needs to overcome many difficulties.”

The idea of having to face many hardships on the journey towards the fulfillment of dreams seems built-in to the character of Angeal, and why I think that quote is the one they’re referencing in this limit break.

The Keeper tapped her chin. A tale as old as time, endless horror and trauma being endured and wearing survival like a badge of honor. But life was about more than surviving, it had to be. Even her life, for all the trauma and tragedy she had endured, there was hope, and joy, and love. It had not been entirely dark and horrifying. Genesis had quite the tale to tell and she had pondered on his words.

"You did. Not many could have walked away from what you have."
