Perhaps the greatest cutscene of all time: Genesis v Sephiroth

Re: the bolded section - thinking you're somebody does not make you as talented as they are. I could get smashed in the head and think I'm Tiger Woods, but that won't make me pick up like a mothersmurfer any good at golf.

I know what you mean but it is not true in that case. Your abilities are part of your memories as well. I don't want to explain it here for real life because it is Final Fantasy and cannot be proven for Final Fantasy. And when Cloud copied Tifa's memories of Zack he could have easily copied "his skills with it". You forget that it is Final Fantasy. You cannot be like Tiger Woods by just thinking of it, but you can't also copy your friend's memories.

But this is not mentioned. That's why I did not say too much about it.

I'll concede the point, but I still find it a hard stretch, even for FF.

I haven't played this game, but I just watched the scene, and... honestly, nowhere near the best ever. Not even in the top 10 by Square. Yeah, graphically it's impressive. Yeah, it's "cool." But it has no emotion, the dialogue is cheesy and actually detracts from the scene by being there, and from what I know of the game itself (which is basically its whole plot), it doesn't sound like this scene develops the story at all. In short, it's mechanical. All style, no substance. Hell, I'd even describe several of the scenes from the original FF7 as better than this one simply because they develop its story/incite feelings in the viewer that this doesn't. Comparing this to, say, the death of Aeris is like comparing Dragonforce to Pink Floyd.

I always wondered where the second nipple of JENOVA was hiding... on her left wing!

Personally I think the best scene in Crisis Core is the ending. Everybody knows what's coming after playing FFVII, but it doesn't take away from it at all. Genesis is probably my least favorite villain of all time. In anything I have ever seen/played/read ever. I wouldn't say he's the worst of all of the villains I know; as bad as he is, there are worse, but he made it personal when he ruined Crisis Core.

My favorite in the entire Final Fantasy series is a tough pick. There's the scene in FFX between the battle against the giant flea and the one before it (the battle themes for both are probably my favorite in the series)...

I hate Genesis and Loveless. smurf everything about that aspect of Crisis Core, in addition to the fact that not only can you not skip those cutscenes, but any other cutscene as well.

FFX had a giant flea? Wha?

Genisis could have been a Great character if only didnt only quote in loveless lines all - the - freaking - time

No, no he couldn't have. When your villain is literally just a wannabe of a previous character, there is nothing salvagable there. Genesis had no personality, no depth, and was nothing save a very bad, very painful cash-in attempt.

Although I'll admit he's still better than Seymour.

i dnt know much previous characters ^^
