  **SPOILER WARNING**
  [for those who haven't played Crisis Core]
  
  Hmm, 4th video for the year of '07. New personal record for me =) some people know why Lol. Well, One day I was bored and stumbled upon the skillet discography I had in my album folder and started listening to some songs. Played Looking for Angels by them and it hit me, all of a sudden, Like when you see a fat kid wearing the wrong sized underwear. Then I swear, Maybe it was the weed[jk] or the boredom, or that I didnt want to talk to joey anymore but I pictured the video right away in my head. Final Fantasy + This song. Alot of things were going through my mind in the process of making this video.
  
  #1 People are going to nagg and whine about the source quality [Old source, dont ask]
  #2 the song may not be to people's taste.
  #3 a FF:AC vid not ending in Cloud killing Sephiroth might be like burning a Cross
  #4 People fear change, a vid that actually has a plot instead of re-telling the movie. *coughnightridecoughletmercycomecoughbrokencough* Sorry, I have a really bad allergic reation to rehashed ideas.
  
  Oh right, How long it took me to make this video, which is 4 minutes and 30 seconds flat. I kinda pulled a DaCoolGohan and finished it in about 2 weeks, 'round there. Unlike my Wing of a Hero vid which took me 3 days, This video had me thinkin so hard, felt like I was takin some sort of editing SAT.
  
  Two years after the events of Final Fantasy VII, the planet is in the early stages of recovering from the devastating attack by Meteor, while the survivors of Midgar have begun to build a new city (aptly named "Edge") on the outskirts of the old metropolis. However, a strange disease known as Geostigma ( Seikon Shōkōgun?, lit. "Planet Scar Syndrome") has arisen. Hopefully you all just don't think its another typical final fantasy AC vid, in the sense that it only sums up the movie. Which it doesn't. It goes about the final fantasy word like a book, page after page narrating events going on in this world.
  
  Along with tellin the story of Advent Children, and Final Fantasy VII in general there are also clips from FFVII: Crisis core, Which show Zack and his association with whats going on. Scenes of Genesis a one winged stranger and Zack's Friend/Teacher Angeal will also be hinted in the video. Sephiroth is NOT a major part of the video, Shocking as that may sound. Not alot of action driving this video but you'll be satisfyed enough, A change of pace is good sometimes don't cha' think.

  Lyrics:
  
  Going through this life looking for angels
  People passing by looking for angels
  
  Walk this world alone try to stay on my feet
  
  Sometimes crawl, fall, but I stand up cause I'm afraid to sleep
  And open my eyes to a new day, with all new problems, and all new pain
  All the faces are filled with so much anger
  Losing our dignity and hope from fear of danger
  After all the wars, after settling the scores, at the break of dawn we will be deaf to the answers
  
  There's so much bigotry, misunderstanding and fear
  With eyes squinted and fists clinched we reach out for what is dear
  We want it we want
  We want a reason to live
  We're on a pilgrimage
  A crusade for hope
  Cause in our hearts and minds and souls we know
  We need it we need
  We need more than this
  
  [Chorus:]
  Going through this life looking for angels
  People passing by looking for angels
  
  Walking down the streets looking for angels
  Everyone I meet looking for angels
  
  So many nations with so many hungry people
  So many homeless scrounging around for dirty needles
  On the rise, teen suicide, when we will realize
  we've been desensitized by the lies of the world
  We're oppressed and impressed by the greedy
  Whose hands squeeze the life out of the needy
  When will we learn that wars, threats, and regrets are the cause and effect of living in fear
  
  Who can help protect the innocence of our children
  Stolen on the internet with images they can't forget
  We want it we want
  We want a reason to live
  We represent a generation that wants to turn back a nation
  To let love be our light and salvation
  We need it we need
  We need more than this
  
  [Repeat Chorus]
  
  I became a savior to some kids I'll never meet
  Sent a check in the mail to buy them something to eat
  What will you do to make a difference, to make a change?
  
  What will you do to help someone along the way?
  Just a touch, a smile as you turn the other cheek
  Pray for your enemies, humble yourself, love's staring back at me
  In the midst of the most painful faces
  Angels show up in the strangest of places
  
  [Repeat Chorus]x3
