LOVELESS quotes
Final Fantasy VII
Cid:
“You ever see the play Loveless?”
Cloud:
“Yes”
Cid:
“Yeah? Really? Well, that's fine. They've been doin' that play every summer since I was a kid. An' I remember seein' it just once... That was when I was in Midgar interviewing to be a pilot. I had some free time and thought I'd catch the play. Now, I'm no big fan of the theater or anything. But this thing put me to sleep, just like I thought it would. Finally during the last scene, the guy next to me woke me up
tellin' me my snorin' was too loud. So about all I really remember of that play is the end... The sister of the lead asks her lover,"
Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII
It would seem that about half of everything that Genesis says in Crisis Core are quotes from LOVELESS, but I’m not gonna type them all out because, well, I just don’t want to, haha, but here are one or two of the important ones me think:
Genesis:
“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.”
Epitaphs:
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
Act I
The gift of the goddess is what the three men seek
But their fates are scattered by war
One becomes a hero, one wanders the land
And the last is taken prisoner
But the three are still bound by a solemn oath
To seek the answer together, once again
Act II
Though the prisoner escapes, he is gravely wounded
His life is saved, however
By a woman of the opposing nation
He begins a life of seclusion with her
Which seems to hold the promise of eternal bliss
But as happiness grows, so does guilt
Of not fulfilling the oath to his friends
Act III
As the war sends the world hurtling towards destruction
The prisoner departs with his newfound love
And embarks on a new journey
He is guided by hope that the gift will bring bliss
And the oath that he swore to his friends
Though no oath is shared between the lovers
In their hearts they know they will meet again
If anyone else has or finds any other LOVELESS references and wants to add to the collection, by all means feel free.
