@@Jose-se9pu I have a theory... Aerith dies in the original... to save the planet... Now... Cloud needs to die.... To Kill Sephiroth.... Sometimes... the only way to defeat the darkness... is to let it consume you and not the ones you cherish. Aerith inside the life stream could save the planet... but we need Cloud in there to undo, counter, actually clean the life stream, From Jenova. Sephiroth, while the *actionable* villain... Has been the Pawn of Jenova... Cloud... is the only one to have been shown to be able to defeat Jenova... The life stream needs him to finally recover from the impact of Jenova ages ago.... everything since that moment... has just been the build up, and we never actually killed, destroyed, or eliminated the *actual* source of the problem... "Jenova". It also works as in Cloud, isn't really the best in the physical world, he *always* needed the help of his friends... but in the lifestream, in the metaphysical realm when Sephiroth (Jenova) tried to take him over... he *literally* could not lose. That's been the *point* of Cloud's life... to fight Sephiroth (Jenova)... not in the physical realm, but the lifestream, but he needed *HIS* life's *memories* and experiences to take over into the stream to win. If that... is where they go with by the whole "whispers" and "changing their fate/destiny" .... I'm okay with that being the story change. But what *EVER* they do.... Sephiroth.... had better *STAY* the villain.... no redemption story for him, no reconciliation with Aerith as both being the last of their kinds, different kinds, ancient enemies to be specific, no reverting back to them being Bro/Sis or ex-lovers like the SUPER og storylines had it, before "jenova" was even an idea. I'm not okay with changing that much. Sephiroth = Masculine Evil Alien Incarnate Jenova = Feminine Evil Alien Incarnate Aerith = Feminine Holy Earthen Incarnate Cloud = Masculine Holy Earthen Incarnate They have ALL lived, and ALL have died... except Cloud.... Time to "bring balance back to the force" And as long as those key facts... *DO NOT CHANGE* ..... I'm... skeptical... but hopeful. And no... *NOT EVERYONE* should survive, *Loss* is an important and *UNAVOIDABLE* consequence of life... so no "Disney Perfect Happily Ever Afters" either.... lol.

I really think Sephiroth was just lonely, and it drove him mad. Think about it. He grew up in a lab, treated as a weapon, not a child. Then growing up the strongest in the world, with no equal. No one can understand what your going through. Then, after years of this, you see your "mothers" Name on a door. You have family after all, and they have her captive, using her powers. You feel betrayed by those closest to you. They kept you from having a mother, a family, perhaps a life you choose. It's enough to make anyone go mad. A lot of times in these games and shows, I like the villains, because most of them are justified in how they feel. Maybe their actions... Not so much.

@@ericrhodes5174 FF7 takes place after Sephiroth partially dies and resides at Northern Crater, all through the amnesiac mind of Cloud Strife. We didn't know much about his past at Shinra, or birth prior to that. So Crisis Core "softening" his established character makes no sense. It filled in the many gaps about his predestined life and downward spiral. He still became very much a true villain, the ultimate consequence of Shinra's reckless greed with power and human experimentation. Despite Sephiroth's atrocities, I still believe that the ultimate villains of this entire story are the alien Jenova, and Shinra Corporation. Jenova ravaged the planet and committed the Cetra genocide, and then Shinra Corporation excavated "her" to harness her genetic powers, no matter how dangerous or immoral.

That's one of the theories based on the events of advent children. The theory is they're both traveling back and informing the past self of what is happening. Sethy to succeed where he failed and Areith to help stop him. One of the theories is FF7R isn't a remake but a sequel in part 2 where they change to course of history. I'm down with that.

I agree as well. Additionally, I think it wrong to not mention Aerith at all in this origin story as they are both so connected to each other as opposing forces in the life stream. His popularity/infamy was also in part by the fact that he killed her, a major character. The remake does well to show that as they both seem to be the ones who remember, with Sephiroth trying again to destroy the world and Aerith again trying to protect it.

I like the idea of Sephiroth settling down at Cosmo Canyon. :3 Given that Sephiroth would want to lay low (lest he be hunted down by the Turks), he'd settle for a quiet life and learn more about the universe under Bugenhagen's guidance. In-game FF7 dialogue, as well as Sephiroth's habit of locking himself away to read or obtain information, all points to him being a man seeking knowledge.

There is a line that Angeal says to Sephiroth after he momentarily returns, "Sephiroth, have you lost weight?", to which he responds, "Hmph.". This implies Sephiroth isn't eating as he used to due to depression/anxiety. So yeah, I believe Sephiroth was in a lot of pain, but he didn't let anyone know it.

The thing I've realized about the game is that Hojo is the only character who seems like he is a true villain--he's constantly doing the typically cruel, bad-guy actions.

I can understand what you mean, but I'd be inclined to think that Lucretia didn't want to give Sephiroth away to Shinra. She was forced to by Hojo. From the story in Dirge it definitely looks like Shinra stole Sephiroth away from Lucretia.

Sephiroth learning that he was a monster, that his life had been a lie, and his "mother" was an extremely powerful alien goddess, he probably suffered a psychotic break and simply never recovered. That is what made him decide he needed to take over the world.

I guess the fact that Sephiroth made a return years later after the events in ff7, its not so far fetched that in the remake he was able to have knowledge of the future and hes trying to change it, or so it seems. A villain that gets killed multiple times, seemingly cant die, and is able to alter history, badass.

Defy 'mother' - You see Sephiroth is a human-alien hybrid, also that alien side is someway stronger, ofc it make no sense in Compilation games but Sephiroth character was ment to represent PTSD. We saw that a bit in Kefka in FF6 but only a bit, while in FF7 ment to show this even more. You are a gamer was ment to see how Sephiroth is falling down into madness, cuting off of his own humanity into conviction that he is someone more then just a human. Ofc he whole his life felt that way but couldn't tell why.

He probably did find out at some point. The thing is he just doesn't care! Jenova is the one who got into his head and Lucrecia's just some woman who made him what he is and then abandoned him for all he knows and honestly he has every right to believe that. He's waaaay past caring about having a 'mother', he only cares about fulfilling Jenova's legacy. This is why I hate theory's about Sephiroth turning good if he 'found out' who his biological mother is. Like no, he will most likely cut her into exactly 56 thousand pieces if he comes across her.

The reason Sephiroth is by far the best FF villain for me is because he is the only one I've genuinely feared. You spend the whole game pursuing him and never quite encountering him until the very final Climatic boss fight. In several other FF games you fight the villains multiple times and sometimes at very low levels. It makes them less intimidating I think. During the 'Cloud's Past' flashback you get a brief window to control Sephiroth in battle and he has end game stats and spells. Cloud (Zack) is dying with every hit and missing with every attack and Sephiroth dodges and one-hit KO's effortlessly. Before you know it you're back controlling your party and they all suck Ha! Before the story of this game even started, years ago, Sephiroth is 10x more powerful than your party who are currently bread and Breakfasting in Kalm lol! Then you run through the swamp dodging the giant Midgardsomr fearing for your life, only to find it on the other side effortlessly impaled on a tree! 'Yeah Sephiroth did that'. The fact that you see Sephiroth as a badass soldier, a God and then finally a cancer like disease in Cloud's head is another reason why he is so frightening, he is a threat on every level. Combine all this with an incredible, iconic character design and he is the best FF villain for me. I was really worried with Crisis Core because I thought seeing him before his fall from grace would destroy his character a little, but I think it's done really well. It's nice seeing him as hero very briefly because it makes his villainous self so much more of a fall and frightening, there is absolutely nothing left of a hero in FF7, he is just pure evil.

There were such intelligent connotations in the portrayal of this. Like certain groups in real life, the poster boy isnt the real enemy. Sephiroth is controlled by jenova. Jenova is the real threat to the planet as evidenced by the cetra narrative. Everybody is talking about sephiroth and we just take jenova as an extra. When aerith is killed, jenova is talking to both of them when we think sephiroth is calling cloud a puppet. Edit: jenova finishes sephiroths sentence, as if she was making him speak and finished the sentance for him

@@YaBoiJeffe I have a theory... Aerith dies in the original... to save the planet... Now... Cloud needs to die.... To Kill Sephiroth.... Sometimes... the only way to defeat the darkness... is to let it consume you and not the ones you cherish. Aerith inside the life stream could save the planet... but we need Cloud in there to undo, counter, actually clean the life stream, From Jenova. Sephiroth, while the *actionable* villain... Has been the Pawn of Jenova... Cloud... is the only one to have been shown to be able to defeat Jenova... The life stream needs him to finally recover from the impact of Jenova ages ago.... everything since that moment... has just been the build up, and we never actually killed, destroyed, or eliminated the *actual* source of the problem... "Jenova". It also works as in Cloud, isn't really the best in the physical world, he *always* needed the help of his friends... but in the lifestream, in the metaphysical realm when Sephiroth (Jenova) tried to take him over... he *literally* could not lose. That's been the *point* of Cloud's life... to fight Sephiroth (Jenova)... not in the physical realm, but the lifestream, but he needed *HIS* life's *memories* and experiences to take over into the stream to win. If that... is where they go with by the whole "whispers" and "changing their fate/destiny" .... I'm okay with that being the story change. But what *EVER* they do.... Sephiroth.... had better *STAY* the villain.... no redemption story for him, no reconciliation with Aerith as both being the last of their kinds, different kinds, ancient enemies to be specific, no reverting back to them being Bro/Sis or ex-lovers like the SUPER og storylines had it, before "jenova" was even an idea. I'm not okay with changing that much. Sephiroth = Masculine Evil Alien Incarnate Jenova = Feminine Evil Alien Incarnate Aerith = Feminine Holy Earthen Incarnate Cloud = Masculine Holy Earthen Incarnate They have ALL lived, and ALL have died... except Cloud.... Time to "bring balance back to the force" And as long as those key facts... *DO NOT CHANGE* ..... I'm... skeptical... but hopeful. And no... *NOT EVERYONE* should survive, *Loss* is an important and *UNAVOIDABLE* consequence of life... so no "Disney Perfect Happily Ever Afters" either.... lol.

While he is the strongest being physically but in the inside he was truly non other than human being before the Nibelheim incident and just the way he question things makes you want to know what his inner monologue is going through.

Because on the surface, they seemed like pretty good friends but if you look at it more thoroughly, that wasn’t the case. Angeal cared blindly about Genesis and never receiving anything in return (dumbapple story), Genesis only cared about himself and just wanted Sephiroth to acknowledge him and since that didn’t happen, he just forced some sort of rivalry on Sephiroth even he’s clearly not interested in it. And finally, there’s Sephiroth, who, is clear I think, appreciated Angeal more. He even responded “I wonder.” to Zack’s question, “You guys were pretty tight, huh?”

I think Crisis Core gets too much credit for showing Sephiroth's complexity. The original FF7 was rich with clues regarding Sephiroth's complex nature, yet required gamers to pay attention and piece together the pieces themselves. For instance, the information Sephiroth shares in FF7 during the Nibel mountain flashbacks reveals that his relationship with Aerith's father (Dr. Gast) was much more than he let on. Piecing together the pieces from FF7's dialogue and chain of events, we learn Sephiroth once hosted a romantic view of the world as a child, referring to materia as 'magic'. Hojo criticized him for it. However, that criticism didn't come outta nowhere. Dr. Gast also held a similar romantic view of the universe. Considering how much Sephiroth admired the man and still mourned over his loss even in his adult years, we can conclude that Gast served as a paternal figure to a child-Sephiroth. It was Dr. Gast who influenced Sephiroth's view of the universe, which, ironically, Sephiroth still shares since his dream is to build his own utopia somewhere within those stars. Hojo's overreaction, then, makes sense within this context. Not only does he hate that Sephiroth regards Gast as the smarter one, but he's bonded with him as well. Hojo's criticism, then, comes from a place of resentment and jealously. It's things like this that I loved discovering in FF7 and connected me to Sephiroth. His character is shrouded in mystery, yet, FF7 provided a shit-ton of clues that point to his complex nature. He's a tragic and flawed man looking to the stars as a means of ignoring his sadness. Cloud addresses this 'sadness' in the original FF7 game too. During their confrontation, Sephiroth goes out of his way to deny he is 'sad' and, instead, focuses on his God-like mission. Yet, this sadness is obviously there since, in Dissidia,, the Warrior of Light notes the 'sadness in those 'winter eyes.'

Nice video. I think you undersold Sephiroth's involvement throughout FF7 though. While it's true that the Sephiroth that we see through most of the game is Jenova. It's also true that Jenova was completely under Sephiroth's control. Even though it's pretty obvious, until listening to the story told like this, I never really considered the fact that had Sephiroth not taken that last mission, he likely would have just lived out the rest of his days as a retired hero, or who knows, he may have even stood up and fought against Shinra at some point seeing as how he was already getting tired of their shit. I can't really recall any other RPG villain whose villainy was so tenuous.

No problem, I see a lot of comments of characters being "the goat" it's pretty used a lot on the internet. He doesn't look like a goat in the least, I never seen someone comment or think of his design like that. He pretty much gets fangirls swooning over his pretty face, hair and his huge eyelashes, like most of the FF male characters. He looked fine to me in the Crisis Core CG scenes.

Oh don't get me wrong, huge fangirl here and he looks good throughout most of the game oddly enough but I prefer him in Advent Children than to the Crisis Core Sephiroth vs Angeal and Genesis scene. I have seen other comments that he looks a bit odd and someone even said he looks a bit like a pale Alpaca. That one wasn't me, lol. Not raging about it though, just not my favourite depiction of him.

Sephiroth possesses the uncanny ability to have Square Enix treat it like a big deal whenever he shows up to fight Cloud in a game...even though he ALWAYS shows up to fight Cloud in a game and the fight always ends inconclusively.

@jefthereaper
@jefthereaper 6 жыл бұрын
I hope the remake puts it all together. Having 7 as the main story, while having stuff like crisis core and the other games as DLC stories (entire game DLC's) So that in the end you would have the complete Final Fantasy 7 Timeline in a single huge game. If possible even the movie remade in a game version. (of course removing some of the extreme amount of pointless sidequests from games like Crisis core to save room and time)

Thanks for this video. I had forgotten a lot about what Sephiroth knows and when, what his motivations are at different points in the story. If I understood this correctly... up until he entered the lifestream, he still thought he was Cetra, or at least that Jenova was. That's why he was then saying he would rule the planet as the chosen one. After he entered the lifestream, and began "absorbing knowlege" from it as you stated, he realized the truth about what Jenova was, and decided to follow in her footsteps, kill the planet, and become a god.

This was a great video, reminded me how complex Sephiroth really is! I would have loved a more speculative outro, since you think he's still alive in the lifestream, what do you think he'll do next? He's like Ganon or Bowser, he's going to live forever because he's the best villain in the series, but what could be his next great use as a character? I'd like to see Sephiroth finally be defeated from within the lifestream by Aeirith, or perhaps she just eternally keeps him locked in there somehow. Similar to a Roman or Greek mythology.

Thanks for commenting Daniel, glad you enjoyed it! I did think about adding more to the ending, but with the Compilation essentially being re-written for the Final Fantasy VII Remake, it felt like it would be a bit redundant. To speculate though, if they'd have done another game focussing on Genesis, as they'd hinted, then I do feel it would have made sense for Sephiroth to appear in some shape or form. ~Darryl

When he killed Aerith, It was quite the moment for me I had devoted so much time in the her and cloud in the beginning she was almost at max. Not only was it a slap in the face but a very sad scene indeed when I finally confronted Sephiroth, I took him down in less than 5 minutes before he even had a chance to cast his best spell. Seen her face at the very end gave me Goosebumps and brought tears to my eyes. It was quite an emotional rollercoaster in the movie Advent Children as well see in her at the end with Zach.

Just a theory, but it's easily possible that Vincent is Sephiroth's real father. Given their history, a trist during everyone's involvement in the experiments is perfectly likely. This would be more in line with Sephy's genetics and it would create some interesting drama for the new games. Prob won't happen, but it wouldn't be a stretch at all.
