    I think Sephiroth started to become manipulated by Jenova as soon as he was in proximity to her at Nibelheim. She can do this because her cells are in Sephiroth. Jenova can't communicate but has been described to exude pure hatred and she has the ability to manipulate emotions. She used his insecurities to drive him to research, go crazy, and destroy the town to "rescue" her so she could use Sephiroth's body to take over the world. That's why some of Sephiroth's decisions seem illogical, unthoughtful, or based on misinterpretations while in Nibelheim - Jenova is biasing his judgement and influenced him so a particular outcome would occur.

      I've been saying this same thing for a long time too, and it places Jenova back as the main driving antagonist instead of a simple Macguffin. The way I've been looking at it is, as long as you can retain a strong enough aspect of what you believe makes you, *yourself* , she can't claim you for her control and her influence is slim at best. Cloud with his repaired psyche and context for events at the end of the game, Genesis with his obsession for Loveless, Zack due to being a generally good and 'go with the flow' dude, and Lucretia with her guilt and trauma, are all examples of people that retained themselves. Sephiroth, Angeal, Hojo, Cloud *before* he and Tifa pieced his psyche together, and I guess by extension the Genesis copies, were all people who broke mentally or weren't strong enough to retain their sense of self due to some sort of psychosis. For those that fail to retain their identity, her influence is stronger and you run a higher risk of mutation.

  • @anthroposmetron4475

    There is some context to Sephiroth's height in the original game, beyond what was mentioned in the video. We see the photo that the man in Nibelheim took of Zack, Sephiroth and Tifa, and Sephiroth is very clearly taller than Zack and significantly taller than teenage Tifa. We're never given Zack's height in the original game of course, but in later materials it's been established as 6'1. But I think that even looking at the OG photo, Sephiroth very clearly gives off a vibe of someone who is taller than 6'1. He looks at least 6'4.
    Every subsequent compilation release has either suggested or established Sephiroth's height as being much taller than 6'1 and somewhere between 6'4 and 6'7, so yeah I agree entirely with the video that the original 6'1 is almost certainly junk localisation. (In the PAL manual it's 185cm btw, which I think isn't even 6'1!)

    I think part of the reason Sephiroth looks bigger, is because he's trying to seem more imposing to Cloud's mind. He wants Cloud to remain his puppet. Even in the original game, when you have the flashback and see Sephiroth fight the Dragon in Nibelheim--I think it is shown that he is like a superhero, because Cloud saw him as one. It would reinforce the idea that he can't be beat, which would make Cloud doubt himself. After all, Cloud was able to defeat (albeit a wounded) Sephiroth at the reactor and he was pre-Mako pre-Jenova cells.

  • @Hushoo
    @Hushoo Рік тому +27

    For the nibelheim flashback, we have to remember that this is not a direct retelling by Cloud a lot of the time. What happens inside of the reactor is essentially a memory transferred over to him by Zack and possibly edited by Jenova. Which is kind of a letdown given crisis core basically makes Genesis's exposition the trigger point to Sephiroth's villian arc.

      Since Seph got spliced with Jenova in vitro, it's moot to try and separate them. I'd say, a more interesting question would be: does Sephiroth's human sympathy, prior to his miscarried epiphany at Nibelheim, show that he could have possibly sublimated Jenova's ravenous nature, had he not been lifelong deceived and exploited by Shinra?

    This was very interesting. However with the remake taken into account, i have the feeling that Jenovaroth is basically being controlled by Jenova in total. And that Sephiroth might have been freed from Jenovas influence after the last fight. Thus creating two different Sephiroths in the remake causing the wispers to go crazy and try to keep the story intact. I believe in the remake he wants to basically help the party in the end, fighting Jenovas Mind and save the planet, but Cloud refuses obviously. But thats just my theory :D

    It struck me that, given how "infectious" Sephiroth's cells are--that they're probably not Sephiroth cells. They're probably all Jenova.
    Given that Sephiroth was born with Jenova Cells, and he only went mad when in proximity of her, there's a chance that we've never actually faced Sephiroth at all. Its been Jenova the entire time, using Sephiroth's form as its local avatar--a bit like the Angels of Evanagelion. We're looking at Jenova reborn as Sephiroth; and the original is probably subsumed or dead.
    Given that Sephiroth himself would have been born of the LIfe stream on this particular planet, would've given Jenovah access to the Life Stream and its Knowledge here.
    All ultimately fulling its purpose as the Calamity. Hence that, no matter what "new" idea this Sephiroth has, it still only ever fulfills the original purpose / plan of Jenova.

The lifestream reassimilated those bits of him, leaving behind only those parts created and based on jenova.

But him changing his way of talk and everything still came off weird after he died in the lifestream. What if- he had a human part from Lucretzia and hojo, but when he died this part of him was absorbed to the lifestream and whatever left is the jenova genes.like in nibelheim he still had his very human emotions intact. Whenever we see him after that- he seems- different.

    Always loved the crazy amount of detail your in-depth videos have. I'm really glad to hear you wanna branch out and cover other characters in and out of the FF franchise. Most definitely looking forward to those.
    Now for the characters I'd love to see you cover:
    1) Cissnei. Since CC Reunion is still somewhat fresh in our minds and probably only very few of us played Before Crisis, she's still very mysterious and coverage on her would be awesome.
    2) Squall. As brooding as he is, I would love to see an in-depth on him and his connection to Laguna. It's heavily hinted they are father and son but nobody brings it up! Even Ward and Kiros pretty much say it on the Ragnarok but it's never addressed in-game and it's always driven me crazy.
    3) Jak (from Jak and Daxter). I'd love to see an in-depth on him and Daxter in the future. It's a great franchise that deserves a little more attention.
    Anywho, love the vids Death 👍

  • @Blakobness
    @Blakobness Рік тому +1

    In my own head cannon I imagine the SOLDIER project did very much exist pre-sephiroth as a way to create supersoldiers, but the revelations of what you could do with Mako and the discovery and utilization of Jenova leading to Sephiroth caused Shinra to re-evaluate the processes they used before. Sephiroth is the first conventional true SOLDIER created with these new methods, prior Soldiers all being inferior specimens. The project reinvented itself, so to speak.
    Also today I learned, after being a huge fan of Theatrhythm Curtain Call, and currently Final Bar Line, that there's a Kingdom Heart's Rhythm game.

    Now for the list:
    1) Hojo (/gast ) - their history which potentially sets up FFVII would be a great insight for the fans
    2) Yuna - did you expect me to say anyone else? - they need to hear why she is one of the best developed characters in the franchise
    3) Xehanort - Even though I have yet to reach the end of KH he is for sure one of the most interesting characters with different iterations etc.

      1. Shinra Inc. (explanation below)
      2. Zidane from ff9
      3. Mega Man X
      A history of Midgar and Shinra inc. would be pretty rad - the original final fantasy 7 paints a somewhat different picture of midgar and their technology than crisis core depicts, likely due to the technological progress that happened in our world in the time frame between the release of the games but what I've always wondered about is shinra's history - it seems like this empire must have been in the works for literally hundreds of years to get to the point that it has by the time we reach the year 7 at the beginning of ff7. We see a scene in the remake while in the shinra building that depicts them building the plate basically from the ground up but that couldn't have been accomplished in a 20 year time frame and it seems like there's a ton of middle ground in between no plate and no reactors and no midgar as we know it to shinra being up on top of the plate, creating all kinds of specialty materia, and building reactors literally the world over.
      Seems like there's a giant blind-spot somewhere between how shinra started as small arms manufacturing to becoming the world's sole energy-producing superpower and I think diving into that might be pretty cool..or we could just find gaps in the lore of the story, I dunno - do with it as you will, sir.
      A lot of insanity in this state right now - the train derailments in EP alone, and the subsequent uncontrolled chemical burn of a million pounds of petrochemicals into our atmosphere at the behest of Norfolk Southern and black rock, are HUGELY reminiscent of shinra inc and the way they run their world - some interesting parallels to be drawn there, for sure.

    I truly appreciate your use of "your guys's" when you enlisted our help. So many people would have said "you guys," or "you guys's," and even I would be guilty of this on occasion. I'm no English teacher, so I'm not 100% sure it's correct, but when you break it down, it is logically the correct choice of words. This is probably one of the nerdiest comments in a comment section full of nerdy and geeky comments, but as an immigrant kid starting school in Australia, in 1990/91 where there were probably only a handful of kids from non-English speaking backgrounds, English and language were drilled into me. My primary(elementary) school focused on the English and language skills of the 3 or 4 foreign students that my English and my literacy became so much better than native English speakers, so I really appreciate the small moments when it is used correctly with finese.

    #1 - Genesis. Of all the FF7 characters, he's the most mysterious (haven't played Dirge of Cerberus).
    #2 - Yu Yevon (FFX). What info we got on him through FFX was just too minimal (haven't played all the way through FFX-2).
    #3 - Albedo Piazzola (Xenosaga series). One of the most interesting antagonists I've ever seen. The dude's a unhinged psychopath most of the time but as you progress through the series, you come to understand why he is that way & learned that he isn't too far gone or irredeemable. Compared to antagonists like Sephiroth or Kefka, he's underrated & deserves some attention.
