Sephiroth, Pure evil or Misguided?

I saw AG's thread in the FFX forum as to whether Seymour is pure evil or just misguided.

So I thought I'd see what people thought about Seffy.
I personally think he's just misguided, before the incident in the Reactor he was perfectly fine.


Opinions?

Sephiroth was once a hero but since he turned he is pure evil. I mean he killed Aerith, such an innocent girl.

yea but if it is just a case of being misguided then he would not have changed suddenly but he went evil after he found out his oragin

Interesting thread.

I think Sephy became misguarded after he learnt his true origins IMO. Sephy needed guidance. He was "hellbent" on destorying and ruling with Mother. To me, he was like a child who was scared. Yes, hard to imagine Sephy in that way, but he yearns after his Mother, as do Kadja, Loz and Yazoo.

Sephiroth is evil. He killed Aerith and tried to destroy the planet so he could become a God. not so he could - like Seymour - "Save" people in his mind, thus making him misguided, but for his own Selfish purposes. making him evil.

Although you could argue that the Jenova influence was the one making Sephiroth want to destory everything, but im not going into that right now

Not always.

Sephy wanted to rule the world with Mother, he believed killing Aeris and everyone on the planet was okay. This was being misguided as Sephy made an error, killing people. Most criminals hate their parents because they believed that their parents misguided them and set them onto the path of crime.

Jenova made Sephy believe he was doing right, but he was doing wrong, yet he still loved his mother.

Hope that makes sense to someone!

sephiroth was evil i reckon

He burnt down nibleheim and killed all the villagers.
He does not care about any1 on the planet he will gladly slay anyone who gets in his way(poor aeris) all to acheive his goal.
Not misguided simply evil

Actually one can argue that he was evil even before he met Jenova.

You see him in the Shinra mansion reading the papers, and he believes he is an Ancient, you then see that he believes he is superior to the ordinary humans and that they should pay for their crimes. Cue Nibelhelm incident, Burning of village, murdering of villagers etc.

After he met Jenova he then has the means to carry out his master plan, Jenova didn't turn him evil, she just gave him more power. Sephiroth is no way misguided, he's the one in control, no one manipulates him. he believes he can eliminate anyone and everyone who gets in his way - Aerith, President Shinra etc. and will even destroy the earth for his own selfish desires.

So misguided? by who?

Evil? yep.l
