When the war of the beasts brings about the world's end The goddess descends from the sky Wings of light and dark spread afar She guides us to bliss, her gift everlasting Infinite in mystery is the gift of the Goddess We seek it thus, and take to the sky Ripples form on the water's surface The wandering soul knows no rest. Three friends go into battle. One is captured
One flies away The one that is left becomes a hero. Dreams of the morrow hath the shattered soul Pride is lost
Wings stripped away, the end is nigh There is no hate, only joy For you are beloved by the goddess Hero of the dawn, Healer of worlds My friend, do you fly away now? To a world that abhors you and 1? All that awaits you is a somber morrow No matter where the winds may blow My soul, corrupted by vengeance Hath endured torment, to find the end of the journey In my own salvation And your eternal slumber My friend, the fates are cruel There are no dreams, no honor remains The arrow has left the bow of the goddess My friend, your desire Is the bringer of life, the gift of the goddess Legend shall speak
Of sacrifice at world's end The wind sails over the water's surface Quietly, but surely
Even if the morrow is barren of promises
Nothing shall forestall my return
To become the dew that quenches the land
To spare the sands, the seas, the skies
I offer thee this silent sacrifice

Crisis core is a game where I can understand why people love it and I understand why some do not love it. I myself am in the camp of really enjoying it. What it does for FFVII for me is add to. It never takes away it either adds something I never knew I wanted or it fleshed stuff out I genuinely wanted to see. Example is this game is when I really started to appreciate Sephiroth as a character seeing his transformation from Ally to enemy is really sad and this game made me feel more connected and feel bad for him. I also enjoy the combat in the game it's not Remake level of combat for me but I find it pretty satisfying nonetheless. I love hearing the critical noise and also getting a good limit break in a pinch. The soundtrack is also pretty good Takeharu lshimoto did a great job making new music and also remixing old songs so thank you for that we appreciate your hard work. My final point is Zack Fair is the star of the show and he is just so loveable and has an energy no one else does you want to see him succeed you want to see him get his dream. But Boy oh boy the price of freedom is steep. Without a doubt to me as of right now my favorite ending in anything Final Fantasy that I've played. Crisis core is a game that while it doesn't hit as strong as the orginal or remake what it gets right makes up for it in my eyes.
