Loveless

[Rhaps]

Yup. This group wouldn't be official without a Loveless discussion
Here's the poem for a refresher
Prologue (Poem)
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 (Poem)
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.

Act II (Poem)
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

Act III (Poem)
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

Act IV (Poem)
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
And your eternal slumber
Legend shall speak
Of sacrifice at world's end
The wind sails over the water's surface
Quietly, but surely

Act V (Poem)
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

Straight outta wikipedia lol
Discuss interpretations, why he used it, etc.

Well, I sorta forgot clubs existed here <.<, ahem...

Yeah, Loveless was a fairly interesting series of poems. I'm assuming what was quoted in the game wasn't the entire thing. I can't see screenplays being done from that. Sounds like a series of chapter prefaces or summaries or something.

I assume Genesis used it so often because it oh so conveniently fit so well wth what was really happening. (Totally not on purpose, some programmed character just happened to write a book that resembled the storyline of the game he was in. I promise.)

Totally dude, just like how in "The Fall of the House of Usher" he just happened to be reading the noises in Sir Launcelot's book as they happened lol

[Heartless Angel]

Exactly. That was completely unplanned. Amazing the timing nonexistant beings have, isn't it?
