He is known among the Final Fantasy community for his songs "Redemption" and "Longing", which are the theme songs of Dirge of Cerberus -Final Fantasy VII-.
Gackt as Genesis.
Gackt is the Japanese voice actor of Genesis Rhapsodos in Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII- and played this role live-action in front of a green screen for Dirge of Cerberus -Final Fantasy VII-. Genesis's appearance in Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII- is also based on Gackt's appearance.
Gackt has claimed in a television program that Squall Leonhart from Final Fantasy VIII was modeled after him, and referred to Squall as "Gackt #2", however Tetsuya Nomura himself has said he based a lot of Squall's appearance on the late actor River Phoenix.[1]
