More Final Fantasy VII Crisis Core scans photo

Tipster Crunshii is on a roll today, as he's provided some more hard to come by scans of Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core and his friend has provided a rough translation of the whole Angeal/Genesis background and drama. There is also an incredible photo of a pirate on the cover, but we unfortunately don't have that feature.

Back to the dirty deets: While they aren't major deal-breakers, if you plan on purchasing this game and don't want to ruin the small plot nuances and twists, pretend this article didn't exist. Also, never work for a popular video game blog and never purchase your own Destructophone. The translation follows:

Rumored spoilers:

This is the first exclusive view of a "white winged" character in the FF7 series. Clound and Sephiroth both had black wings, Cloud had only left wing, Sephiroth only right wing. Angeal has onry right white wing; and through this picture, kinda says Angeal and Zack used to be some sort of partners back in the days (before Cloud hit puberty) in his hometown of Midgar and Sephiroth wasnt created or his power hasn't reached his legend yet. The article then says:

"The original owner of the Buster Sword wasnt Cloud, nor Zack, but it was owned by "Angeal." (Thats why you see him in the picture with a very similar Buster sword.) but, Angeal has a good friend since child hood called "Genesis" who is by far the strongest guy in SOLDIER.

Genesis is one of the oldest of the special "SOLDIER" class, but he surpased SOLDIER himself... he was rumored to be called the "G" class and also, "Project G". Therefore making, Angeal, Genesis the 2 main guys who started up SOLDIER.

Another spoiler is mentioned... Angeal helped Zack get into 1st level of SOLDIER, it shows on the second picture that Angeal was a Mentor teacher to many.

So there you have it, speculate the rest until your little Chocobo hearts implode!

Anyway, yes. I can't wait for this to come out so I can play it and then finally get rid of my PSP.

Well I always wondered where cloud got that sword ^^; (Just as how Gatsu got his in Berserk) not to mention even dough in FF7 advent children and the anime came out explaining various elements of FF7.

FF7 is still shrouded with empty holes on how the story is fully told, thats why I dont mind the upcoming releases, even dough I smell the marketing of the Matrix on how they splitted up the game.

Final Fantasy VII is so freaking overrated. Quit with the spin-offs already Squeenix.

The spin off thing annoys me too. At least they seem to be putting a better effort into story this time.

Man, when Square decided spin-offs were a good thing, they went all the way.

finally I get to find out who the hell genesis was from DC...
god damn that game's plot was terrible.

If there was a real phone that was modeled after the Dtoid robot and said "Also, cocks" when someone was calling, I'd buy one for every room of my house.

Get on it, Niero!

@Crunshii

Yeah those (plot) holes. Fun stuff. Actually, they do explain that Cloud gets his sword from Zack in a very short <secret> cut scene in FFVII.

You know I used to love FFII. In '97 I was 11 and it was my first real experience with RPGs which was followed by BOF3, my favorite of the BOF games. However, over the years of aging, I have looked back and well...FFVII's story wasn't all that great. It was very spotty in some places and just meh in others. I mean I still consider it one of my top games just because I did really love it and I remember those long nights spent trying to get the knights of the round summon. Great days but still...it leaves a bit to be desired these days. I also think the same thing about Advent Children. Anyone else?
