I destroyed the world. It's a hell of a thing. Snow never blamed or judged me, though. And Hope tried to lead humanity in the fight against the Chaos. Of course, I fought alongside them both.

Come.... it's time...

[izunias-meme-hole]

While I am not fond of the execution of his character (coughing in the reactor scene and the latter half of the Crisis Core), conceptually Genesis works perfectly as Crisis Core's main antagonist. He's Shinra's first attempt at making a being like Sephiroth, he admired the Silver Soldier and joined Shinra thanks to propaganda, he wanted to attain the same level of glory that his friend and idol had, he went off the deep end when he learned the truth behind himself and his current illness, and he pretty much is a monster who wanted his humanity back above all. Ultimately Genesis had the making of a very solid main antagonist for this game because he gives a face to the type of SOLDIERS Shinra makes. Though to hammer it in further, I will forever stand on the hill of "they should've just made him a full-on demonic beast in the Post-Modeoheim parts of the game" because they really should've.

If I remember right, I had a very brief and subtle period of frustration over Genesis when I played Crisis Core and he wouldn’t stop quoting Loveless + when he was tearing into Sephiroth in the middle of the latter’s breakdown in the reactor, but I don’t think I ever remotely hated him.

I kept groaning like, “Ugh Genesis, you gotta stop, man. You don’t GET IT, bro,” while simultaneously loving the stir-up he was causing. I live for friendship breakdown drama and he was making the story REALLY juicy lol.

But what I recall more is my first impression of him and Angeal in that training scene. I had already adopted Sephiroth into my very soul, but when I saw his friends, I literally yelled inside “OH GOD HE HAS FRIENDS. HE HAD TWO WHOLE FRIENDS JEDHDJ. AND ONE OF THEM IS A REDHEAD. THEY’RE SO COOL!! SEPHIROTH HAD FRIENDS!!!”

(I’m a sucker for a good friend trio. ALWAYS).

And Genesis being this prideful, fiery warrior….taking on Sephiroth with real fucking determination…

Like on one hand? It was love at first sight. I initially just needed to know who it was that Sephiroth would be friends with, but that devolved into: Who are these characters on their own?? Who is Genesis?

I think that feeling overpowered any frustration I had with Genesis. I started getting irritated at the Loveless quoting only because I wanted to hear more of Genesis’ actual thoughts and feelings. I started getting infuriated at the “reactor divorce” because of the tragic communication breakdown, not because Genesis was lashing out.

And when I saw gamerbros and Maxdood dissing him, I started getting really protective lol. Out of sheer spite, I analyzed Genesis’ scenes to understand why he goes on about Loveless, I really tried to determine if his appearance in the reactor took away from Sephiroth’s agency like people said, and I tried to understand his character’s layers. I dug into the “Dark Souls lore” of Crisis Core, analyzing it like a game where the answers weren’t spoonfed to you…and yeah, Genesis became way deeper to me. I really fucking love him.

He enriches the story, he enriches Sephiroth, he stands on his own as a unique character. Even his “rip-off Sephiroth” aspects that people think are cheap actually make SENSE for him and for how he relates to Sephiroth. It all makes sense in greater context, and yeah, CC’s execution is rough, but I get what they were going for.

Angeal has been a slow-burn. I love him now. But Genesis was a whole storm of feels from day one, and while I’ve calmed down in obsessing over his character and lore, I definitely hold him in high regard as a character. He’s in top favs status. His depth is all there, but it needs the same on-screen fleshing out that Angeal is getting. I want more people to understand and appreciate this redheaded spitfire so badly.

Genesis is BASED, actually.
