Agreed.

Itachi before the slaughter

i think an autism diagnosis might fix him

I feel bad for him though Shinra was just using him for money and power he also doesn't know that Jenova is not really his mother his real mother is Lucrecia

@@SamuelJohnsonYT plus that he also doesn't know that Jenova was never a Cetra either. Imagine the breakdown he'll get when he gets to the real truth IF SE consideres turning the storywriting for the upcoming game(s) that way.

@@igirisuchan7361 yeah true

And all of those lies was because of Hojo and Shinra.

I was just thinking about it, and I don't actually think Sephiroth was himself after the events of Nibelheim, literally. I think that the revelation of the Nibelheim reactor experiments shattered his mind, allowing Jenova to "overshadow" him. After he was killed by Cloud, Jenova kept using the image of the world's most famous "hero" which, coincidentally, was also convenient for controlling the actions of Jenova's only host that could get the black Materia to the Northern Crater. TLDR: I don't think Sephiroth actually turned evil, as much as Jenova was able to gain control of him and use him first as a vessel, to escape containment, and later as an image to control Cloud's actions. Sephiroth, the world's Hero, was as much a victim as every other poor soul in Nibelheim, by my estimation.

Sephiroth was such a sweetheart.

​@@anjumankabir5110That's the tragic part. He was a relatively decent man despite his lonely upbringing and then stuff happened.

He went mad

Is this a SpongeBob reference 😅

Yeah, that's the really sad part. His parents made him a test subject before he was even born. His mother felt guilty afterwards and decided to run away and hide in a cave. His father is a complete sociopath who only saw him as a test subject. Gast also ran away once he found out what JENOVA really was. And then Angeal and Genesis...they were his only friends until they suddenly left him without telling him why. Genesis is the worst friend. He was willing to physically and emotionally hurt Angeal and Sephiroth for his selfish gain. As a result, Angeal kills himself out of guilt. Sephiroth becomes insane. The people who are the most guilty are his father Hojo, Shinra Inc as a whole, Genesis, and JENOVA.

Shinra’s scientists either crazy or irresponsible

@@EvelynL.1112 don’t forget Gast, he is the leader of project janova

@@cloudialee8400 *Gast

I think the Reunion Theory drove him mad more than anything, although yes he was upset, I doubt he would have massacred everyone in his normal honourable state. It helps that he is the strongest SOLDIER by far, making his reunion activation far more dangerous.

OOHHHHHH SHIIIIIIT!

Not me when I first play this in original Never play original ff7 and crisis core is my first and my reaction is nothing, just little suprised that we going to cloud hometown, didn't know what going to happen and I glad I never play original ff7 😁

When I first played Crisis Core long after the original FF7, my reaction was, "Oh, okay." I was surprised, and yep, I always knew what would happen when Sephiroth visited Nibelheim.

Cloud: how dare you 👁️_👁️ 🔪

​@@PlaystationGamerZX Ahahah we're the same, back then I was like "Heck yeah!" and I wasn't ready to witness the whole incident. This is where I was a bit shocked like "Wait wait so this is where Sephdawg turned bad?"

Honestly whenever I hear Sephiroth's theme I can hear my uncle cussing out the TV also. Weather it was final fantasy or Kingdom Hearts. Sephiroth was such a bitch to fight 😂😂😂😂

Screamed so loud at this

“Having Daddy issues makes you a people pleaser, having mommy issues makes you a sociopath”

@@lileenleenand he has both

Most guys with two moms end up like that.

​@liammccbyrne4184 Well he had 2 mom's but one was dead & the other was an alien who didn't meet him until the end lol

Lucrecia? The one who preserve in the ice right? Vincent keep her alive?

@@9thAngel *crystal

unironically my theory is: u know how the ff7 25th anniversary logo has zack cloud and sephiroth? Since we now have an alternate reality where zack lives. What if we essentially save that universes sephiroth from going insane in some way, then you would have everyone in the logo on one side. Now everyone has to battle against the og sephiroth who now transcends time and space. idk this might be some fan fic bs but it sounds cool to me.

Nah, Safe Sephiroth is one of the best final bosses in gaming and Omnislash is so iconic. Hope they stay true to how the narrative should go

@@manofculture961fanfics are Just stories waiting to be heard or retold. It’s alright, the idea sounds awesome.

Wait for real?

@@Adrianishere198 Tyler played as Superman in Superman & Lois while George Newbern (previous Sephiroth VA) voiced as Superman in the animated shows

Play japanese alot better

@@OmunHR both good

@@MrInuhanyou123 no his Japanese VA is much better

Yeah, he shares the exact same hometown with Cloud and Tifa. If only he didn't lose his mind! 😭

@Evelyn L. if only shinra told sephiroth the truth from the beginning. Instead of hiding it, he may have turned out different, but the fact that sephiroth grew all these years only hearing that jenova was his mother, than to find out the powers he had weren't natural and that he was a creation of course he lost his mind who wouldn't lose their mind

@@ryukthegodofdeath5906 It's really tragic 😭

​@@ryukthegodofdeath5906 i really hope that the Sephiroth that we see in FFVII Remake was from the original timeline who already knows the extent of the truth.

@@ryukthegodofdeath5906Shinra doesn’t care about Sephiroth. I am so glad Sephiroth went after every single one of them… Too bad he didn’t with Hojo despite his hatred towards Hojo has always been there.

Lol, I feel the same way. Great visual updates, but they do look goofy at times

I feel similarly about the voice acting. In some lines sephiroth as a good guy sounds great when paired with the right animations. In other cases either he doesn’t sound menacing enough or he doesn’t move with the same flow to match his voice.

Yeah, sometimes especially during the Nibelheim part the characters will suddenly start sprinting at top speed and come to a sudden halt. The way they turn is unnatural too

Finally someone who understands me! The valley of uncanny is strong in this game.

They actually aren't the original animations. They may be based off of them in an attempt to retain the original game's spirit, but they are very much not reused animations. The proof is when Don Cornelio inspects the girls. In the original, he moves his head and body side to side as Cloud moves his head to avoid being stared at. In this one he just sits there with his arms crossed, barely moving his head and body at all compared to the original animations.

As much as I'd love this, I'd only accept it if Zack became an Echo Fighter to Cloud.

@@ResurgentRavenI wouldn’t totally mind that but he should fight a little different then cloud not to mention loads fighting style needs an upgrade too along with sephiroth they can fight flashier

❤

He die

shaggin aerith and creating a chocobo farm?

But he wasnt real

What's wrong with showing your past? Villains who only kill for the sake of killing are no joke, Sefirot has an incredible development, apart from all this was already seen in the games before, only since they were pixels and letters it was not like they could give you expressions.

@@Masharyxthey handled it really badly, can you honestly say the backstory in crisis core was good? it was basically Nomura's Gackt fanfiction. Sephiroth never really killed for the sake of killing, the only people or things that he killed was just something unfortunately in his path.

@@liammccbyrne4184 I'm not saying that he killed for the sake of killing, I said that many villains are like that, he has a very cool development, although in the old game version they don't show him as such, it's obvious that he became bad for something, he really wasn't bad, I'm not saying that he was the best being, but he wanted to be normal, in the game it is mentioned that he wanted to escape many times, but they forced him and instilled in him to be a perfect weapon of war and in the end he resigned himself to being the best , he protected the good guys, Cloud admired him for something. He was a hero.

I liked Crisis Core showing more of what he was like before his fall to insanity. That makes him a more fleshed out character than he was in the original game. It also gives the nibelheim incident, and many of his evil deeds since have more impact because of the knowledge of what he was like before he went crazy. My opinion.

you should revisit the game (original FFVII)

Taking into account how is Hojo, I think that he simply wrote specimen or incubator. Or maybe to make it more "professional" it was Lucrecia the one who chose to not write her name as the mother of Project S.

I’m sure shinra and Hojo made sure all the files on lucrecia were erased…

No, actually I doubt Sephiroth knew what he was doing. Because otherwise he would summon the Zirconiade and the Omega Weapon and then the apocalypse would start, or he would meet Vincent early

It’s a good question, the reports wouldn’t necessarily have mentioned her name and even if they did he probably saw her as just another of the humans who coldly experimented on him and lied to him. He may have assumed she was dead, since he was always told his birth mother died shortly after he was born, so even finding out her name may have meant very little. Honestly her being alive but just hanging out in a cave for 30 years always felt like a bit of an ass-pull.

Didn’t Lucrecia originally work on it and agree on it?? They mentioned it in DOC

fr 😭

Scarier doesn't mean better. Sounds like a teenager as always. But then this is the same guy who plays in teen Wolf as a whiny teen so that explains a lot. Lol. Should have let the MAN voice him before instead of a BOY.

​@@zealousrunner7 Oh not you again. . . .

@@GrvndMvsterVssvssin it's the truth

@@GrvndMvsterVssvssinIt’s all he does dude lol

Wow,🤯

Lol this sounds like itachi

It was dramatic and funny like he just wanted to fall next to zack lol

No wonder Genesis is such a bad villain character addition to the FFVII lore and universe.

So true!if genesis was sephiroths side seriously NOTHING would happen to sephiroth.he would be a good guy.and nothing would happen to clouds party and the world

Hojo is a joke to you?

@@whereisezraa5825 Well, don't get me wrong; Hojo was responsible for a LOT of what went down in FF7. But if Genesis did not push Sephiroth right then and there as he was in the midst of a severe identity crisis, he (probably) wouldn't have snapped and begun his quest to conquer the world.

We might get to play as sephiroth in rebirth but I agree we should have got to play as Angeal.

Why? There's a resurgence of flip phones among gen z as we speak

@@jinyboi it reminds me my mom's old phone... I can't get that image out of my head... And an old computer at Shinra's building.

This is a part of Hojo’s plan. He made Sephiroth to believe his mother is Janova, then when he knew janova is a monster and he will believe he is a monster,too Sephiroth will be crazy, If he reunion in janova That can confirm his theory. But he discover Sephiroth control janova and want to spoil planet,hojo decides to help him to wake up omega and fuel it to become God

Cero rating's in Japan. They explained as Graphics get more realistic, they get more realistic, things get more strict, so they couldn't show Sephiroth carrying Jenova's severed head. For example, the blood trail in Remake. >Hamaguchi: We also really wanted to leave the blood trail that was left behind by Jenova, but in order to keep a lower age rating we couldn't use red blood. Instead we chose to use a purple magma-like substance that has more of a fantasy feel yet still leaves that feeling of unease. We worked really hard and ended up getting that checked about 5 or 6 times before we got the okay. There were a lot of times we had to think about the current day ratings while figuring out how to adapt elements of the original. >Toriyama: Something more difficult for the rating check was actually Jenova. We all thought “Well she's not human so it should be fine, right?”, but the fact that she was both naked and headless ended up being a bit of an issue. To rectify this, we added a mecha-type thing to her head and made it so she was covered up when Sephiroth was carrying her in the Shinra Building. Jenova is a pretty big part of Final Fantasy VII so I didn't actually want to change it, though...

Everyone is different its the remake cast

Go play the original then

It's very easy on normal, if you can spam Hell Firaga :D

@@Fr34k1ng0ut Also, I wanted this game to have multiplayer firefight survival similar like in the Halo games.

@user-lt7by2qt3l That’s why it’ll be similar like Halo.

Totally

same

Me too but I feel Tyler Hoechlin is much better here than he was in FF7 Remake. He sounded like he was trying to force a Newbern impression last time, while here he's doing his own thing and it sounds more natural.

@@GihirahimOfTheShadowTyler sounds better as a heroic and sane Sephiroth. And I appreciate altering his tone over the course of his dialogue with Jenova but DAMN George Newbern will always be Sephiroth to me: he had this cold and calculated charisma that really made sephiroth feel like a force of nature, good or evil.

@@Orcaluv26 I very much disagree. Tyler Hoechlin just sounds generic. George did a pretty awesome job of balancing that heroic side of sepiroth in theog crisis core

He lost it

@@ForzaDelDestino I meant why is it in some weird metal helmet that covers her face it wasn't before

Probably updated for the "modern" audience.

Most likely couldn't be bothered to detail a one off part given that the headless version was reused from the remake to cut corners, then again said remake seems to be going in its own direction so they most likely didn't want to reveal a major part in Act 2. Like for instance Jenova is now suppose to have a more grotesque appearance like with the boss fight in the first one or the humanoid part is actually an Ancient and that blob alien thing is the cause of everything. That or the devs went "the crunch is real so slap some premade assets together put Jenova on it and call it a day".

It all comes from the mako poisoning that Cloud got. His memories got replaced with the Zack ones. He thinks he was a Soldier, but he never got into it, he was just an infantryman, but he thinks so because of all the memories replacement. That’s why Tifa tells Aerith that she doesn’t remember Cloud that day in Nibelheim, because they didn’t saw each other, she actually saw Zack, but Cloud genuinely thinks it was him. Cloud is actually telling Zack’s history in Soldier throughout the game… Yes, he was in Nibelheim that day, but not in a Soldier way.

@@erifromlucis thanks

Please have your stroke offline.

Huh

“No!”

Watch this part 44:06 Learning the horrible truth about himself broke him. He didn't have any friends growing up and always felt isolated. And then upon learning that he *is* different, he couldn't take it.

Honestly, I’ve never understood it either. It didn’t seem like a good enough reason for him to do what he did. I’m hoping Rebirth fixes this…

@@fearlesscheshirecat1411 yes and I hope we can get to know more about Sephiroth's side of story as well.
