Crisis Core resembles a classic John Woo “heroic bloodshed” action movie, with its emphasis on honor and the bonds of friendship between killers, and the Buster Sword is a symbol of those themes.Īlthough the Buster Sword is not the strongest weapon in FF7, the imagery of the improbably large, mostly blunt weapon is part of the game’s identity. The game’s ending shows a mortally wounded Zack repeating Angeal’s actions from earlier in the story, as he passes the Buster Sword, and his dreams, onto Cloud. Some might debate whether Zack or Cloud is the best FF7 hero in the franchise, but in Crisis Core, Cloud owes everything to Zack. Angeal ends up joining Genesis and Hollander, after learning the truth of the experiments.īefore Angeal dies, he gives the Buster Sword to Zack, while also passing on his sense of honor and his dreams for the future. Genesis allies with Hollander to take revenge on Shinra, and the scientist promises to use his expertise to stabilize Genesis’ body. Shinra selected Hojo over Hollander for its lead scientist, possibly due to the perceived failure of Project G. Crisis Core shows both Angeal and Genesis undergoing unexpected physical changes which provide strange new powers, but also degrade their bodies. The two experiments to merge Jenova’s cells with humans were split into Hojo’s Sephiroth experiment, Project S, and Hollander’s experiments with Angeal and Genesis, Project G. Jenova cells were also injected into Sephiroth, making Jenova Sephiroth’s mother figure in FF7, in his mind, as he never knew his human mother, Lucretia Crescent. This passed the Jenova cells on to Angeal, and Gillian’s cells were also injected into Genesis. Gillian worked with Shinra scientist Hollander on Project G, wherein she was injected with cells from the alien Jenova. Angeal’s father left him the legacy of the Buster Sword, but his mother, Gillian Hewley, provided a more important inheritance. Zack questions Angeal’s reluctance to use the massive Buster Sword he carries more often and learns some of Angeal’s history and the sentimental significance of the sword.
