Sephiroth vs. Genesis vs. Angeal (Crisis Core Final Fantasy VII Reunion) 4K ULTRA HD

[@vincentgeiszler3749]

I love this fight because throughout the whole thing you can tell that Genesis is trying his absolute hardest, giving it his all, with a lot of genuine fury, while Sephiroth is just playing a game.

[@dragonpalindrath-vi5eh]

Lol they're all playing, even Angeal, they just play that hard with each other. Sephiroth is strong enough to wipe out Wutai by himself but so is Angeal and genesis, they just like to be children. The games and animes don't do that place much justice as seeing Sephiroth after anything he does would make you cold.

[@Mir0skies]

Ah, of course, Crisis Core, give us Sephiroth that genuinely treasures the bonds of friendship, just to be betrayed by them, and tentatively tries to build the same bond with Zack, just for Genesis to barge in and tell him that no, Seph, you aren't even an augmented human, you are a monster, and all you can do is destroy, and find out that Genesis didn't exactly lie. Way to screw up a guy's life.

[@rhagnvald]

i didnt play these remakes but the weird thing is how Genesis was right about everything, Zephiroth was a monster, Angeal and him also, he was seeking for the gift of the goddess and he obtain it.. apparently the original intentions with the character were pretty big but them they leave that arc inconclusive.. maybe is related to Gackt losing some popularity with the years to a point that is was not that cool to have a character based on his appareance.

To see Sephiroth in action is just fantastic. He wields his sword with such finesse, despite the fact that it's longer than he is tall. There's almost no effort in him deflecting or even evading strikes from Angeal and Genesis at the same time! They're training hard, while he is barely doing anything.

One thing I love about this fight is you can tell Sephiroth is fighting defensively, he’s trying not to hurt the others, while Angeal and Genesis are fighting offensively to try to strike Sephiroth. This only changes when Genesis hurts Angeal and Sephiroth starts attacking Genesis for real. You can really tell Sephiroth cares for both of them, but Angeal is his favorite.

[@kingfree4109]

What's even more awesome about this scene, is that Sephiroth's theme doesn't play until AFTER Genesis hurts Angeal. The theme is about anger and fury from Sephiroth's perspective. Why would it play BEFORE he goes insane? During the final battle makes sense. But here? It's a clever use of the theme, since it's STRAIGHT to those vocals. Sephiroth was PISSED that Genesis would do that.

People like the new guy as well as the old actor but I've seen many people say that the best parts are when he tries to sound like the original guy in that case why not just get the original guy? Finally, Zack. That one should be self explanatory. The "nostalgia glasses" comment is becoming repetitive, new fans should simply understand that some actors are better in their jobs.

I feel like Hoechlin does better portraying a good guy version of Sephiroth because his voice is soft and mellow.

Genesis reading & closing that book at the 1:14 mark reminded me of V from Devil May Cry 5

[@LazarusTRP]

V had much more swagger in it

[@MDLGamingX]

3:48 Cutting thick metal like nothing. Still gives me the chills after how many years.

[@unknownfigure]

Imma be honest, in my opinion Angeal's new voice actor is definitely better than the old one. Definitely has more emotion put into the character. In my opinion Angeal's old va sound bored which I don't know if that was the direction they were trying to go for Angeal for a serious tone character, but some lines in that voice back then made some scenes feel like slapstick comedy ("like you destroy this place" followed with an awkward damage grunt and the famous "World Dominiation" scene). The new Angeal voice actor feels that they have the right amount of emotion to feel Angeal's motives as a character and still keeps a serious tone without making him sound bored or a bit lifeless.

[@hopscotchak4330]

This fight was legendary. The whole game was really. My brother and I watched the whole cut scenes video on KZbin (like 4 hours long) and we both cried again. This story ran SO deep... and Angeal.... damn that moment. Not just for a handheld, but for a game. It was epic.

[@delikatessbruhe9843]

This is why I hold out for a Genesis appearance on the team's side in one of the remake games. Genesis always sought to overcome Sephiroth, not because he's evil but simply because he's the best and Genesis wanted to be that. I could see it as a nice conclusion for Genesis's arc to concede that maybe he can do it - but not alone. Or that he'd potentially even be willing to give his life for it. I know he's technically alive in Dirge but... everything's different now, isn't it?

[@a.dykeman1980]

I’m not holding out hope, but it would be really neat if we got to see some sort of reunion of the full SOLDIER Trio. We know Genesis isn’t actually out of play, since Weiss and his squad had him stashed somewhere the whole time, and although Angeal is supposed to be 100% dead… so is Zack, and they’re messing with *that*. I don’t care if it’s on good terms or bad, but it would be pretty neat for them to have a reunion of some sort, whether it’s timeline shenanigans or Lifestream Ghosts

[@ChloeKruegerSenpai]

In this Training Fight, Sephi dominates being his Left Handed, seems he had good wield in one hand, when it starts getting serious, he switch to his right hand to full control and later use both hands to be balanced.

[@drawingwithsound8022]

Personally would have preferred the original design of the buster sword. Since in crisis core the sword were newly forged as a nice present for Angeal’s accomplishments. By the time Cloud get the sword from Zack it would still have the gold decoration on the hilt. So Cloud might have sold it to get by or got rid of it to not attract any attention with its fancy looking before he made it into the FFVII.

[@moisesdanielalvarado5578]

I've mentioned before to people I know about the whole Final Fantasy series but not really that much so I've been watching them on KZbin so I csn learn a lot more about them!

[@Pateckharu3]

The Great Sephiroth. Even after his physical body is destroyed, his WILL persists. After overpowering Jenova's will, Sephiroth gained the ability to exert his influence through her cells, able to construct avatars in his likeness, as well as other eldritch entities, enabling him a physical presence in the world of the living and attaining a sort of immortality. At the end, he becomes Bizzaro God, then he reaches the One WINGED ANGEL... beyond divine power... combining all 10 paths of sephiroths plus godhood manifestation and merging with the planet itself... This character has been well done for what he represents.

I remember watching this on my PSP at the time and being in awe of how cool it was we got this fight in cgi format after playing ff7 for years without anything close to this good since ff7 was so damn old. Now we get this in 4k in Crisis Core Reunion and what a sick ass game this is. If you're a FF game and haven't played it b/c it was a 'psp game', you're missing out on one of the best.

[@dakotaanderson7905]

Sephiroth cutting through the cannon which his music starting will never not be amazing.

[@Reality_withdrawls]

The entire opening parries/evades were so clean, but something about 1:42-1:44 when Seph lets his blade gently drop while he awaits their next move as they flank him always gets me.

[@hotsauce-szn3085]

[@Theemptythroneistaken]

You know to this day I still don't understand why sephiroth had such a drastic change in character to the point he was willing to kill people he cared for.

[@desmondlau1385]

Because he realized he is no hero and neither a true human, he is actually no different from how shinra created those monsters by infusing human with mako energy. After he found out he was created using cells from an alien, who wants to destroy the planet, Sephiroth think of the alien as his mother and wants to succeed the aliens plan and also take revenge on shinra who "made" him a monster.

[@Theemptythroneistaken]

@desmond lau I understand that to a degree, but some of the people he tried to kill were people he loved not even finding out your origins like he did really should turn him that psychotic.

[@desmondlau1385]

@@Theemptythroneistaken but he never love anyone not even his parents, I doubt he even knew who his parents are and he sure didn't kill his parents. And he thinks of Jenova, an alien as his parents, and naturally he feels himself is an alien too. That makes the humans the "alien" and monsters who experimented on him. If you are Sephiroth, what's stopping you from hating and killing the "alien/monsters"? What's more they are the ones your "mother" was trying to kill?

[@Theemptythroneistaken]

@desmond lau Angeal and genesis were people he definitely loved, and, to some extent, zack, I mean he didn't even offer zack to join him on his crusade. Someone he had more history with than cloud at the time.

[@desmondlau1385]

@@Theemptythroneistaken While Angeal and Genesis were his good friends but it doesn't seem to go as far as love or family. Then again Sephiroth is not the 'family' kind of guy. He is calm, collected and cold. I'd say he doesn't have much emotional attachment against anyone as he is the strongest man he knew throughout his life. Which means nothing stopping his from killing anyone he wants.

man i thiought they were gonna remake this. I used to rewatch the frick out of this scene. Crisis core was one of my fac games

[@dannyboy9662]

I keep coming back to watch how awesome this is, but this time, and after reading some of comments, I realized that sephiroth never was smug or arrogant, he only just came off that way. The reason he is that way is because his whole life, he was always better than everyone at everything. Yeah, he was a badass, but he never really had any concern or fear when fighting so he never really had to put forth any effort which is why his only moment of genuine surprise was when cloud threw him off the catwalk of the mako reactor. He literally couldn't believe it because he just didn't think losing was possible.

[@VannsTHeir]

I am gonna say what I am pretty sure everyone knows, in this fight everytime genesis gets hit you tell he struggling more, every moment they exchange blow and Genesis keeps upping the anti you know he frustrated because seph can tank block and counter his strongest attacks with our any sweat or more then a mild annoyance, this cutscene is masterfully done even seph start getting serious (I wouldn't say out frustration because he's getting annoyed at Genesis and like men do when they argue puts out the same energy getting from him) and Genesis borderline gets knocked back on his ass almost love the relationship of these three and at time wish they could of made up maybe in the afterlife they could

[@user-wg1ov6uf5k]

Everyone's gangsta until 'One Winged Angel' starts playing.

[@shaunthefriendlylesbian2950]

One of the strangest changes to this version is the lack of ambiance. Comparing it to the original, all environmental ambient sounds are lower in the mix, so it just sounds like it's being recorded in a studio rather than a simulator that transforms a room into reality. Some of the sound effects are better in the new version in my opinion, like the fireballs, but something about the old sound of the room breaking was so destructive. I'm happy that they kept the original visuals and uncompressed them though :D

[@K7TZ]

Most people won't notice this but the video actually have slight changes. Angeal's buster sword is actually different. Originally the hand guard is golden instead of iron and has the Chinese like dragon style on it

[@Brobuscus101]

I admit to having next to zero animation experience, but if they’re able to make slight changes like that, could they maybe have tweaked the lip syncing so it better matches up with the new voice acting? I especially noticed Genesis reading off Loveless at the beginning was slightly out of sync
