    cute fun-fact:
    Sephiroth seems to love pasta. in a japanese mobile game "yo-kai-watch-wibble wobble" was a final fantasy 7 special where you could catch sephiroth and cloud. to catch sephiroth easier, you had to threw his favorite food on him. there where only 3 sorts oft pasta ^_^
    Sephiroth is using his left hand, right? in many religions the left hand is "the evil one", so people are forced to use the right hand, even they are left-handed because plus its something special because most people are right-handed

Wii version of Twilight Princess for instance (as most people seem to be right handed... swinging the sword using the Wii-mote in your left hand would turn people off. So in the GameCube version they mirrored everything. Making Link swing the sword with his left hand ... and dungeons are literally mirrored. You go left in Wii... you go right on GC..)
      Canonically (even a word?) Link is left handed.....
      It all makes sense now!! He is in purgatory! Having to save the world over... and over.. and over... and over.. for eternity! His punishment for being left-handed!!

Seeing that burning alley with Cloud having his hallucinations and "interactions" of/with Sephiroth (or his soul) was just awesome.

    Since Vincent and Sephiroth share coding in the original game, you can use an editor to put Sephiroth in your party, save your game, change Sephiroth back to Vincent, reload the save, and Vincent will have the Masamune handgun. Masamune handgun won't have the mug glitch, but it makes Vincent's mug animation extremely satisfying.

    People on 4chan still argue with me to this day but I still feel there is strong, strong evidence in the original game that ties into 7R that suggests that Sephiroth originally died in the NIbelheim incident and that throughout the events of FFVII and AC it's Jenova pulling the strings on everything.

    • @miki49
      @miki49 Рік тому

      He did technically die in Nibelheim. Square already confirmed that within the Ultimania. He could still interact with and control “Sephiroth clones” from the lifestream, however, as he didn’t allow himself to assimilate to/with the lifestream and still lives within the planet (while he essentially resurrects and enhances his body using the lifestream within the Northern Crater)
      Whenever it’s a time you fight a piece of Jenova, it’s her body part instinctively taking on Sephiroth’s image, will, memories, etc. Her remnants are robotically acting upon his will, as she was defeated by the Cetra and is no longer living like she was 2000 years ago.
      Anytime it has to do with the black cloaked figures (also known as “Sephiroth clones”), it’s Sephiroth himself hijacking their bodies to act his will upon the events of the story. However, his true physical form/body is always within the Northern Crater throughout the entirety of the game.
      But even then, you could say Sephiroth is “infected” by Jenova. It is why his insanity continues to drive him in the original after he learned of his true origins. In Remake, it has clearly been shown within the Japanese language that Sephiroth this time is not infected by Jenova’s virus or influence. If you’ve never heard the terms, look up “Wastashi Sephiroth vs Ore Sephiroth”. Super interesting.
      All this information can be found within the Ultimania Omega. English speakers like myself had to go through the grueling process of placing its content through translation programs to get this information 💀 But it was worth it 👌🏼

    • @codynoth4183
      @codynoth4183 Рік тому

      @@miki49 Thing is while I understand the Ultimania is regarded and all that there is no official English translation as you said so there is bound to be some wiggle room as to what is going on with the whole Sephiroth deal.
      I do not buy into the idea that he is still in control of his own body or is even doing anything FROM the Lifestream. If anything, due to his genetics from I believe having an Ancient as a mother but not being a "pure blood Cetra" like Aerith is, the lifestream does not consume his consciousness, but he does not have power over it like Aerith does.
      I certainly believe that Jenova still is in complete and utter control no matter what. Whenever individuals cite Sephiroth's "willpower" and that he is in control seem to forget that it only took him a WEEK to lose his shit and murder an entire village because of "Mother".
      I do remember that they have stated that the Lifestream itself purges or "rejects" all of Jenova's cells which is why in the Remake, (spoilers)
      At the end where Cloud is facing down Sephiroth again I firmly believe that is Sephiroth's consciousness riding the lifestream and may play a pivotal part in defeating Jenova once and for all as he knows he was manipulated and used by it to try and destroy the planet until Cloud killed him in Nibelheim.

    • @miki49
      @miki49 Рік тому

      @@codynoth4183 The translation says what it says while I even cross referenced crucial parts regarding Sephiroth and Jenova specifically to a Japanese fluent friend of mine. There is no wiggle room, and it doesn’t matter to me what you “buy”. There’re people out there who still believe the earth is flat, or that the sun revolves around the earth. I could care less. But I will still spread the accurate information.
      If you haven’t ever heard of “Ore Sephiroth vs. Watashi Sephiroth”, I suggest you look it up. Simply put, it’s a difference in Japanese pronouns that separates the Sephiroth who is fully in control of his faculties (Ore- before he learned his origins) and the Sephiroth who, after becoming mentally vulnerable when having a difficult time accepting his origins, finally became susceptible to the Jenova cells he was carrying (Watashi Sephiroth). They then began to infect him as he cracked, no different to Cloud and his breaks.
      The Jenova cells within Cloud made him mirror a false personality, Zack’s personality, due to his own personal lack of self esteem and personal failure. With Sephiroth, the Jenova cells within him made him continue to mirror his false (more like misunderstood) existence because he had no other guide to follow but Jenova’s, as Gast mistakingly believes Jenova to be a Cetra. She is not. And Sephiroth respected Gast’s words way more than he did Hojo’s, so he continued to believe he was an Ancient who was wronged when that is flat out incorrect. In both cases, they “mirror” these falsities because that is how the power of Jenova acts when within humans in this world. It creates deception through false realities and half truths (something Sephiroth himself embraces when deceiving Cloud, and the player, in the original). Jenova is no longer living like she once was and, even when she was 2000 years ago, was never able to “pull any strings”. The fact that her existence in FF7 is different than it was 2000 years ago is clearly stated by Nojima himself, the original writer, within the Ultimania. That’s a fact, perfectly irrefutable by the man who wrote this fiction and created the rules of this unique world (accompanied by a party of great developers as well of course).
      What Jenova used to do was shapeshift to the likes of the Cetra’s past loved ones, deceive them to close proximity, and infect them into monsters. She was never able to “puppet” them. It’s only Sephiroth who can hijack bodies for control, as he is something Jenova isn’t, a human who inherited Jenova’s abilities.
      Also, they’re called “Sephiroth clones” for a reason. He takes them over. Page 212 of the Ultimania Omega actually shows which sightings are Sephiroth and which are “Jenova”. In the case of Sephiroth sightings, again as I’ve already stated, it’s not Sephiroth’s real body (that’s within the Northern Crater), but him hijacking the bodies of those with Jenova cells who have been mentally broken, and are susceptible to that control that Sephiroth could only have because he was bred from birth with Jenova cells. He is essentially her heir and can use what he inherited as a human.
      Anytime you see “Jenova” in FF7, it’s her body parts instinctively taking Sephiroth’s form, memories, will, etc. to do what she was created and programmed to do, and mimicking Sephiroth is a great means to reaching that goal of hers. She no longer exists as sentient as she used to, the same way the Cetra don’t exist the same way they used to, but still exist. She is alien-matter and has shown that she doesn’t completely die, but she no longer exists like she did and with the power/freedom she did 2000 years ago. The most influence she can have is acting side by side with Sephiroth, as he is already believing her to be his cheated mother. Jenova wouldn’t even need to “pull any strings” at this point if Sephiroth already believes she’s his mother that he’s wanting to avenge and take back the planet for. Her cells clearly changed him once he became susceptible when he couldn’t accept his beginnings, giving him headaches and mental breaks in the Nibelheim Shinra mansion akin to the headaches and mental breaks Cloud exhibited after he was tested on. It’s all there clearly laid out.
      Also, what’s your point about him taking a week to go crazy? What’s that have to do with anything regarding his willpower keeping him from assimilating to the lifestream? You’re mixing two completely unrelated things up, two things that happened at different times and at different locations. Also, it’s Nojima who clearly states it’s Sephiroth’s will that keeps him from assimilating to the lifestream, not just “individuals who cite” it (again, one of the main men who made all the rules in this universe). His will keeping him in the lifestream after he died in Nibelheim has nothing to do with his getting infected by Jenova within the Shinra mansion. Going crazy is a sickness, just like Jenova cells invading the body is a sickness. You can’t “will” yourself to not get sick, whether it’s sickness of insanity or a fever.
      Lastly just a small point, but Sehiroth is not the only one who can choose to not assimilate fully to the lifestream. It has nothing to do with him having Jenova cells, as all SOLDIERS have Jenova cells and can go back to the lifestream just fine. Anyone who can be called a “lost soul” or “ghost” in our world can be seen as the same, one who didn’t allow themselves to fully succumb to the afterlife. Whether you believe in that or not (I personally don’t), I’m just using that as a metaphor to explain that other’s within this world, not just Sephiroth, could choose to not assimilate to the lifestream and willfully fight against that assimilation. You can find that information in Nojima’s “On the way to a smile” book.

      @@codynoth4183 While I agree with most of your final paragraph, it cannot be denied that Sephiroth was normal before he spent a week reading Gast’s findings within the Shinra mansion and only lost himself after that point. The Jenova cells in him were completely dormant before that point. And I had to give you all that information about Sephiroth and Jenova to articulate the nuance of their nature. It’s not simply “she’s controlling him like a puppet and he has no control over his actions”. It’s something much larger that has to do with how Jenova cells affect those within this world and how Sephiroth was so intimately tied to Jenova, being born of her from the ground up, so much so to the point that he inherited her nature. They’re partners at best. You fight both of them at the end after all, where he is the final boss even after she’s defeated.

Of course there's also a possibility that they're both different variations of the same move.

    • @NightshadeDt
      @NightshadeDt 2 роки тому +2

      If memory serves it was a four move combo, a hilt strike, then a move to get behind them, then a move to jump and then to strike.
      It was both a pain and not quite worth the difficulty in terms of damage, as I remember.

    Iirc in dissidia, he is the one who realized or remember the previous cycle of the conflict because he killed himself instead being defeated. Hence when the villains n heroes are revived back for the next cycle, he's been trying to tell Cloud abt the conflict but Cloud rejected him.

And I remember reading abotu Tyler Hoechlin as Sephiroth's VA, his depiction of Superman in S&L is especially good.

    Also, the obsession with the man's chest is rather hilarious, lol. I figured he was covered for censorship/decencey's sake. Shirtless men in anime and manga more often than not usually don't have nipples so I always just figured he fell into that trope.

      But it's been confirmed that when Sephiroth entered the Lifestream, he became so powerful to the point where Jenova couldn't control him... in fact, he managed to mind control HER which is why she's constantly going along with his plans. Jenova just wanted to destroy all life, Sephiroth planned to merge with the Lifestream, make himself into a god and then search the cosmos for even more planets to absorb. Also, if Jenova was in control then why would she sacrifice her own body just before the fight with Sephiroth... ALSO also, how would Sephiroth concoct the plan in Advent Children to revive himself using the Jenova cells and a semi-clone of himself if Jenova was in control the whole time? This theory really just makes no sense.

    1) Sephiroth, although not at full power and using Kadaj as a host, was much stronger in ACC than in FF7.
    2) Sephiroth uses his sword with his left hand, since he’s a lefty. But if Sephiroth wants to be serious, like in ACC, he will use his sword with his right hand.
    Any help with these? (Hopefully you have legitimate sources!)
