      Thank you! People think I'm just being a fangirl when I say that (I mean, he is attractive), but even someone that's ace can see that Sephiroth was designed to be alluring, lol. You don't have your antagonist purr his words and emphasize on his eyes and hair all the time otherwise. His outfit is so vastly different from what is standard for SOLDIER, with the straps that expose his chest, stopping just short of exposing his nipples. Did anyone really think that was just an accident? Square Enix sells sex with their characters because it works. Cloud had some tweaks made to him in Remake to also be more attractive and realistic, such as adding a faint amount of freckles (barely there, but you can see them in certain cutscenes and closeups), or dark eyelashes on the top and bottom make them appear brighter. These two and a plethora of others throughout Square Enix's catalogue are intentionally meant to entice players, if not by their story, then by their looks.

      Fun fact: blinking is related to levels of alertness meaning the more tired you are the more you will subconsciously blink as a mini reset to the system. Sephiroth was locked in the whole time which is probably why they didn’t show him blinking all that much.

    Upon playing Crisis Core, I learned that Sephiroth has shown signs of obsessing over details. He locked himself away in the research department to learn about Project G and Zack couldn't get into contact with Sephiroth for Days on end because of it. It really did a good job foreshadowing his obsession of learning about Jenova before the Nibelhiem incident.

    I believe he would be ambidextrous. So he is proficient with the sword no matter what hand he wields it with. He would favour the left as it is unorthodox and a well trained swordsman is going to naturally struggle going up against a skilled left hander. So Sephiroth gains an immediate advantage plus, with all his enhanced physical prowess, he makes quick work of an opponent.

    • @athecheat
      @athecheat Před 4 lety +7

      Mr Wolf ambidextrous would be my guess of a master swordsman as well. But with sword fights you counter an attack by mirroring the opponent, if he wasn’t ambidextrous he would be at disadvantage going right handed if he wasn’t ambidextrous

    Kingdom Hearts Headcanon Time!
    My theory as to why Sephiroth wielded his sword in his right hand. He was going easy on Sora during Kingdom Hearts 1. Yet in KH2. He was not holding back. He wanted to see Sora's strength and resolve. Also, to draw out Cloud and to finally fight. That is why he went back to being a Southpaw. He wasn't holding punches.

      In reality, it was because he was never meant to appear in the game, and the American localization team decided to install him, themselves. In the process, they simply overlooked a number of things. Notably, his left-handedness, and his signature stance. Both were reinstated with KH2, where he was actually always intended to appear, so the OFFICIAL crew behind his design, were able to "do it right".
      No sin was worse than having Lance Bass voice him, though. George Newbern is the ONLY proper voice of Sephiroth. I'm not even sold on the guy they hired for the remake, yet.

    8. Sefirot, meaning emanations, are, according to the Jewish Kabbalah, the ten plains of existence that Ein Sof (the name of God prior to leaving the void) revealed Himself through when manifesting into physical reality, thus creating both said physical reality and the chain of higher metaphysical realms that are intrinsically linked to it. Sometimes referred to as The Tree of Life, Sefirot is alternatively transliterated into English as Sephirot or, more commonly, *Sephiroth* .
    When it is said that "God is everywhere.", the phrase is meant to be taken quite literally, which is a concept often lost on both believers and non-believers alike.
    Additionally, *Genova* (the name given to FFVII Sephiroth's "mother") is an obvious play on the word Jehovah, which is the Latinization of the Tetragrammaton (YHWH), or four-letter name of the God of Israel in the Hebrew Bible, and one of the seven names of God mentioned throughout Judaism as a whole.
    Honestly, I'm surprised you didn't mention any of this, and I'm not even Jewish.

      Sin has affected our souls and without Jesus to come an save you you'll be damned forever in the fire, But God in his great love sent Jesus to save us from sin and hell and death! He took our punishment that we deserved he took our sins to the cross and died to save us but it's not over! God rose him from the dead on third day! Jesus defeated hell and death He's our only salvation and savior, you can have eternal life through Jesus who defeated death it's a free gift you can have it and be a apart of God's family but you must repent to God an ask for his forgiveness of our sins he will hear you then you must believe in him completely and put all faith in him and believe in the Gospel and then believe an confess Jesus is Lord an that God raised Jesus from the dead and that he is alive and then accept Jesus Christ as your personal Lord an savior and trust him with your life and he will save you then you will have eternal life and have a personal relationship with Jesus our savior and with God our Father 🕊Romans 10:9 (KJV) That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.📖🕊Romans 10:10-13 (KJV) For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
      For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
      For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.📖🕊1 John 1:9 (KJV) If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Then His blood cleanses us from all sins and we are filled with Jesus's holy Spirit and light! No more darkness will exist in us 📖🕊1 John 1:7 (KJV) But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

    Why does no one ever understand the fact that Sephiroth is merely a puppet as well? His character is full of irony. Jenova is the true villain of FF7. Shes just over looked because all we see is Sephiroth but the truth of the matter is. Those aren't Septhiroths words we hear. They are the words of Sephiroths twisted mind. Twisted and controlled by none other than Jenova herself. Jenova needed the perfect vessel since her true body was mainly destroyed due to the experiments and her time in dormancy. She manipulates everything in the game. The reactors. The clones and most of the experiments.
    You see Sephiroth was injected with Jenova cells while he was still in the womb. His hair used to be black but then turned Silver when he grew older. When he starts to doubt himself after finding Jenova in Mt Niebel he does the research on all the projects concerned with Jenova. Its during this time and his doubt she starts to speak to him. She lies and manipulates him into believing he is an ancient just like Jenova but we all know that isn't true. Sephiroth actually technically died when Cloud killed him at the reactor but due to the Jenova cells in him and in other things still living they took on the appearance of Sephiroth. Sephiroth kind of became one with her thats why in the game his body keeps turning into pieces of Jenova. The true Sephiroth is frozen in ice and you only physically fight him in the last battle.
    Edit: Cloud himself was being controlled by Sephiroth because of the cells in him. Hojo did this after finding him and Zack in the reactor. That's when Hojo started dubbing his subjects as Sephiroth clones. Not because they were clones in the sense that we are used to but because they could eventually become Sephiroth due to his consciousness being infused with Jenova. That's why in the movie Kadja turned into Sephiroth. He and his gang were the last of the "clones".

Aggressively annoying characters. Oh and Snow. And the Ifrit guy. The other chick was even less of a character than Lightning. I heard Lightning returns was better but after 12 I wanted nothing to do with that story. I mean, the cliche evil pope was not a good villain, but at least he was developed throughout the game. WTF was Orphan (I think that's the name, not sure. I mean the end boss)? Why did it feel shoe-horned in to the end? Why was I disappointed in the end of a story I wasn't invested in in the first place?
