I like the ambivalence of Sephiroth as character. Villains are normally portrayed as unidimensional which is fairly boring.
That, and Sephiroth is hot. And has a great style. I'd kill to find a man like that IRL.

Sephiroth isnt truly evil i believe, yes he may have killed tons of people but he only did it because the truth about how he was created drove him crazy, he was injected with jenova cells before he was born so he had no choice over his future, his father was Hojo (now that would drive ANY person crazy i mean come on who would want a loony toon of a professor as a dad oh and yes i do know that he didnt know) and he discovered the truth in the place where he was created and his "mother" was some fake ancient who fell from the sky now if i was his i would be a bit f****d up in the head as well so therefore i don't believe he is completely evil just crazy

Not remembering much of him at this point, my general thoughts on Sepiroth are just...
he looks badass.

Sephiroth isn't evil -- he is plain crazy. 'Nuff said.

How does someone as sexy as Seph look like this "Nerd" you speak of? Srsly. But the tight clothes and his chest showing made him look like a hooker. So, I'll grant you that.

But all of that's what the point is not. The point's that's there ain't no romance 'round there.

Actually the real villan of FFVII is Jenova, who manipulated him.
Sephiroth is a great character, and one of the responsibles of Square´s sucess after Final Fantasy VII

Sephiroth
Sephiroth will always arguably be Final Fantasy's most well known villan. Im sure there are other bosses that would have kicked his arse in a fight though such as Queen Ultimcia but he will always be the most hated villan for what he did to people personally (burning down a village, killing Aerith at her most vulnerable time) but it is that act alone which was his downfall. If he didnt kill Aerith, would he have been successful at what he was trying to do? Really, what was his goal anyway? Surely he should have known if he destroyed the world, he would have died too anyway. what a nutbag

Mindless violence is but a small factor of Villainy.
Take Seymour, his voice was shite but don't let that fool you, he abused his diplomatic immunity, the corruption of the Four Maesters of Yevon, the power to become a fiend and avoid being sent to the farplane, he killed those who got in his way or who could have been a threat, but he did in a manner that no one knew any the wiser. He wanted to become Sin, if that meant marrying and betraying them to do so, he would, he was determined to become it. And no one would stop him, the amount of times you have to defeat him in order to finally stop him.
Now, Sephiroth, went insane because he found out about Jenova and where he came from, he then went on a mindless killing spree.......yeah....that's about it isn't it?
I'm sure there are better examples than Seymour but right now I want to play Tiberian Sun.

No, thats not it. After he found out what he was, yeah, he got pissed off, and slaughtered an entire village.
BUT you have to look at what he did the rest of the game. Manipulated people, killed Cloud's love right in front of his eyes, it wasnt mindless killing, he was planning shit out. He wanted to absorb energy from the planet to become a godlike entity. We wanted to rule, and take back the planet for his mother.
There is nothing "mindless" about any of that. |
