I thought Crisis Core was regarded as a good game?
Also, wasn't Genesis hinted to be the last FFVII villain in some yet-to-be-developed sequel?

Growing up, it's like a civil war, don't turn away, it's something you can't ignore...Crisis Core is a good game. Not amazing, but good. Genesis has nothing to do with that. Nobody cares about him, and the general tone of Crisis Core doesn't totally gel with FFVII's, so adding stuff from CC or DoC into the VII remake would just be putting in extraneous shit that would go nowhere and hurt the story and setting.
There was a teaser involving Genesis in Dirge of Cerberus. Nobody cares because the game sucked and Genesis sucked and any follow-up will likely never be made.
Genesis as a character was like a bad OC. Shows up and inserts himself into a plot that had absolutely no reason for him to be there.
I don't want him in the game's main story. Maybe as a bonus boss fight in the post-game, but definitely not in the main story.
The powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse.![]()

You know, Dirge of Cerberus has one important thing: the lore regarding Vincent. And I don't think the game's bad itself. Personally, I'm sort of a fan of Shelke. And yes, I know the humongous debate about Lucrecia's character, so I won't be diving into this right now.
Vincent was almost completely ignored in the original. We don't need mentions of Deepground and shit, but we need Vincent to get some needed spotlight on the main game like Yuffie got.
On Crisis Core, there's tons of information that ended up leading to the main game, especially when it comes to Zack and Sephiroth.

Growing up, it's like a civil war, don't turn away, it's something you can't ignore...You get the barest amount of info on Vincent but it kinda adds to the mystery of the character and well he is one of the people hiding the info as well.
To really add info they would need to rewrite his character or sections of the game where its just him, especially if they want to keep Durge canon.
Crisis Core added him to the iconic Nibelheim scene. There's a fun thought.
"If you aren't him, then you apparently got your brain from the same discount retailer, so..." - FighteerYou mean how Genesis crashed the Nibelheim reactor to bait Sephiroth?
Growing up, it's like a civil war, don't turn away, it's something you can't ignore...He really is! You read his description on the wiki, and it really reads like a bad fanfic character that's shoehorned into the plot. "Oh, he's like, one of Sephiroth's friend. He also wears a cool trenchcoat, but it's red. And he has a red sword! And he too is a result of experimentation. And like, he finds out and he's the one who makes Sephiroth find out. But like, unlike Sephiroth he doesn't go evil coz like, he's cool. Also he loves poetry."
That and Genesis Rhapsodos is like one of the worst names I've ever heard. It belongs next to After Earth's Cypher Raige.

'Genesis Rhapsodos' fits when you think that one of the characters is basically named Sefirot.
Also the era of JRP Gs.... it had names like Fayt Leingod and Shing Meteoryte.
I personally am in the do both department. Make it a New Game Plus option to have her live or have her ghost in the party.
I'd be okay with it being some sort of New Game Plus option.
Didn't it say that they were going to be more hints that Cloud was going to have more implied romantic feelings for Sephiroth when he was still his heroes? That will add more fuel to the Foe Yay between them.
I am alright with the idea of a "ghost Aerith" in NG+ for battles. I think actually saving her would be a godawful idea. What I'm most concerned about regarding her is whether or not they'll stick with her original personality.

Yeah, that's my concern too. The stuff from the "Crisis" games bleeding into the remake. Genesis showing up would be the worst.
