But that's not to say that Legacy of Monsters lacks the creature-driven action MonsterVerse fans love there is still plenty of CGI action, rendered in gorgeous detail, and a bunch of new monsters to boot. Set in the devastating aftermath of G-day, the name for the battle between Godzilla and the Titans that levelled San Francisco, Legacy of Monsters tracks two siblings following in their father's footsteps to uncover their family's connection to the secretive organisation known as Monarch.
One half of the sibling duo is Cate Randa (Anna Sawai), a Japanese-American middle school teacher who was caught in the thick of G-day and survived. One year on, Cate is in Tokyo to settle the affairs of her father, Hiroshi Randa, who is presumed dead in a plane crash over AIaska. In Japan, she is forced to confront a shocking revelation - Hiroshi has a second family in Tokyo, including a son, Kentaro (Ren Watabe).
Together with her half-brother and his American ex, May (Kiersey Clemons), the trio set out to uncover the truth behind Hiroshi's legacy, and his secretive ties to Monarch. AIong the way, they also team up with US military officer Lee Shaw, one of the founding members of Monarch, played by Kurt Russell and his son Wyatt Russell.
Taking place in both the 1950s and the present day, Legacy of Monsters explores the origins of the shadowy organisation that has dedicated its entire existence to studying Titans, and yet always seems to have questionable motivations.

Of Embracing Escapism And Confronting Reality
As you embark on the journey that Final Fantasy VII Rebirth offers, there’s a moment that distinctly shifts the narrative’s atmosphere: Aerith pauses to take in the in-game scenery with a sense of wonder, which stood in stark contrast to the earlier parts of the game, where the flower girl, alongside other FFVII key companions such as Cloud and Tifa, navigates the cramped slums and towering corporate skyscrapers of Midgar.
