Is Crisis Core worth picking up?

Rofl,
Genesis is actually my favorite character from VII.
pretty much purely because of CC

Okay he was pretty cool,but still a ponce.

I'll give it a shot:

Infinite in mystery is the Gift of the Goddess;
We seek it thus, & take to the sky.
Ripples form on the water's surface.
The wandering soul knows no rest.

My friend, do you fly away now--
To a world that abhors you & I?
Your desire is the Giver of Life,
The Gift of the Goddess

My soul, corrupted by vengeance, hath endured torment,
To find the end of the journey,
In my own salvation...
& your eternal slumber....

Infinite in mystery is the Gift of the Goddess,
We seek it thus, & take to the sky.
To become the dew that quenches the land,
I offer thee this silent sacrifice.
======================
That's my attempt. Yeah, I'm missing a lot.

LOVELESS
--=[ Poem ]=--

Loveless - Prologue

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



Loveless - Act I

Infinite in mystery is the gift of the goddess
We seek it thus, and take it to the sky
Ripples form on the water’s surface
The wandering soul knows no rest



Loveless - Act II

There is no hate, only joy
For you are beloved by the goddess
Hero of the dawn, Healer of worlds

Dreams of the morrow hath the shattered soul
Pride is lost
Wings stripped away, the end is nigh



Loveless - Act III

My friend, do you fly away now?
To a world that abhors you and I?
All that awaits you is a somber morrow
No matter where the winds may blow

My friend, your desire
Is the bringer of life, the gift of the goddess

Even if the morrow is barren of promises
Nothing shall forestall my return



Loveless - Act IV

My friend, the fates are cruel
There are no dreams, no honor remains
The arrow has left the bow of the goddess
My soul, corrupted by vengeance
Hath endured torment, to find the end of the journey
In my own salvation
nd your eternal slumber

Legend shall speak
Of sacrifice at world’s end
The wind sails over the water’s surface
Quietly, but surely



Loveless - Act V -Made by Genesis-

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

Nice attempt Neo, close, close.

As for the aversion people have towards Genesis, it's mainly due to the relation West has with androgyny I believe: what is common in Japan is awkward to us (otakus excluded of course).

Spoiler:

Never forget that if Nomura based Genesis on Gackt, it was to attract a new audience: japanese girls who are all fond of the latter. Squall was based on him too but the similarity wasn't enough apparently.
