First Soldier EPISODE 2 TEASER - Final Fantasy 7 Ever Crisis 

Many of us are. Many forget that a good bit of Crisis Core was cut due to the expensive costs of the UMDs for the PSP when it was originally made which could only hold so much data.

I feel like Genesis is too tied to Gackt, so there may be no concert, if he's not up for it. It may be just Angeal and mentions of Genesis here and there. Or I may be mistaken and they'll actually include him, especially since he'd be teenage, not in his 20s/30s.

Meanwhile.. Cloud(Remake) does the Sephiroth stance 😅

No Ch 9-10, they said 'Episode 2' for a reason.

@@SwobyJ we'll see, that would be a first for this game.

I doubt genesis will be back. I think they said Gackt won’t voice him again

@@kirak1561 no those were just rumors

@@TravaillesDuChanson well I hope he will then

Same!!

Yea, everything Sephiroth does to Cloud is him projecting. It's why he loves to call him a hollow puppet. He knows they're similar. Even during Cloud's trial, Sephiroth tells him to burn everything to the ground... just like he did (referring to Nibleheim) and the imagery in that shot is identical with Cloud facing the wall of fire like Sephiroth in that infamous scene. Also when Seph is younger he experiences another headache while in the Nible manor then Hojo's words pop up telling him he has to endure the pain and it'll make him stronger, it's literally what Sephiroth tells Cloud.

That pose is awfully like Clouds

Isnt it just Angeals father?

That's... WTF! 😂 Do you think Smash Bros. Multiverses are canon?

thats definitely not young genesis oh I thought you meant young genesis was the cameraman

I think the cameraman’s Hollander.

I always just assumed Genesis resented Sephiroth because he envied his status and strength. Considering the way he got carried away during that 'training session' in Crisis Core with Angeal and Sephiroth, saying "the world needs a new hero" and using all of his strength to fight him, meanwhile Sephiroth was just having a good time. And how he refers to Sephiroth as a result of "countless failed experiments" when he finds out his origin. The way Genesis treated Sephiroth and how he spoke to him definitely reeked of jealousy

Each story is supposed to get 10 chapters each.

It's sad but the current industry no longer allows for full-fledged spin-off games like Crisis Core, or even Dirge of Cerberus. Now, good stories that could have been their own amazing voice-acted entry are siphoned and drip-fed slowly into mobile games over the span of months and years. To lure potential players to their more lucrative business model. What they're missing though is that if you launch a good product it will be remembered for a long time (see: Crisis Core). No one will ever miss a mobile game after it has been shut down. The best we can hope for is that some day First Soldier actually gets a console remake but that has never happened before.

@@CelestialLimbo Yeah you're right and it's sad honestly. The thing that bothers me the most is that most of the First Soldier storyline is now essential to know about when you play the RE:Trilogy and the majority of FF7 fans are probably not playing this gacha game and get confused when they see characters like Glenn appear. I also find it odd that Square is spending money on new CGI scenes for a mobile game when they could've just made a Yuffie-style DLC for Rebirth but with Sephiroth as MC while we wait for the 3rd game. Like they already have his gameplay fully developed and its such a waste to only use it for 1 VR mission. Square really does make some weird business decisions sometimes.

@@CelestialLimbo "No one will ever miss a mobile game" Plenty of people STILL miss and mourn Mobius FF and it ended in *2020*. But it was being run by the same team dealing with the VII remake trilogy, so it took priority.

If they don't do this Gatcha Game, they won't get money.

@@CelestialLimbo I think first soldier console remake would happen in the future, because obviously square is gonna keep milking ff7 products even when finishing remake trilogy.

Nah Sephiroth got his looks for his mother but yeah Hojo was a baddie too

chapter 6, chapter 7, and chapter 6 of ff7 all had such annoying boss fights

Ever Crisis contain First Soldier stories.

@@TheManaTree777but the main title here is 0:34

​@@MaxBraver555Ever Crisis retells the story of the entire Compilation, including this original TFS storyline.

There are multiple campaigns in Ever Crisis. This campaign is called First Soldier. It's just called that because you play with the characters from that game.

Nah I think it's going to get even better going forward. They really want to go all out in the final game and this is the way to do it.

I know right? Some very interesting narrative which would have really made an interesting spin-off filling in many gaps in the lore. Your guess that the camera man is Gast is actually a very good guess and it very well could be.

@@TravaillesDuChanson It could also be Hollander because it tied to project G. Either way I am so mad and excited at the same time lol.

@@Oofium Actually that makes even more sense, as Glenn said to Rufus in Rebirth... what an astute observation!

Hollander and Gast do not become robed men, this camera man does so it’s neither is my guess

Blorbofy?

He was always a tragic villain even in OG FF7. It's not a 'blorbofy' or whatever you want to believe. They're just expanding his characterisation.

Then don't play it

Sephiroth being nuanced was already a thing since Crisis Core (17 years ago). And even before that in the OG it was clear that there was some Jenova manipulation. One of the main discussion points back then was who was really in control, Jenova? Sephiroth? Did they alternate? So no, it's not something new.

That’s literally not what that dumbass term means. I mean come on. I guess writers can’t develop their own characters into more complex figures anymore lol. It’s been almost 30 years. Sephiroth has well earned more depth and an interesting background.
