Sorry if this thread has been done before, but I've been playing VII lately, and I still don't get it! 5 years ago, in the Nibelheim reactor, Cloud kills Sephiroth right? So then who are the party following throughout VII? A clone? I know the Shinra tried to make loads of clones, hence all the tattooed weirdos. But did they actually succeed? And what's with Sephiroth's body in the crater?

Can any one explain..?
 
What the movie in japanese. They have an anime of what happened 5 years ago with Zack!

No the clones were all failiure. Hojo though Cloud was crap. But boy was he wrong.

Sephiroth was in the crater all along.

When Jenova reunites to be reborn, it's called a Jenova reunion. All the Jenova parts that was implanted goes to the head, where Sephiroth is, in the north crater. 5 years ago, Sephiroth ran to the north crater and healed thanks to the lifestream.

How did Cloud came to Sephiroth? Because he had jenova cells and he was called. The other Sephiroth the party saw was Jenova parts with SEphiroth apparences.

More questions?
 
Of course not! That's why you can kill him in the end of the game! Duh!

A simple sword can't kill him.

Jenova was dumped back in the crater, or possibly some chasm, where it lay, dormant, for 2,000 years. Then, some archeologists found it in a dig. Mistaken to be one of the members of the lost Cetra race, the powerful company, Shin Ra, sought to use it's DNA to recreate a living Cetra, to an extent, with the Cetra's powers of finding the Promised Land. The Promised Land was of great interest to Shinra for it was thought that Mako would be abundant there. To do this, they first injected members of SOLDIER with Jenova cells, not only to see what effect it would have, but to get the Promised Land sensing ability as well. However, the Jenova cells had little or no effect on the SOLDIERs. This is because the mind and body reacted to the foreign substance and attacked it, destroying the cells before the cells could do anything. In an attempt to get around the body’s defense, the experiment subjects were submerged in Mako. This brought down the body’s defense—for reasons I’ll explain later—and this brought into being the Sephiroth ‘clones’. However, these ‘clones’ did not posses the ability the Shinra were seeking, so an unborn infant was directly injected with Jenova cells, to work in the alien cells with human DNA--truly fusing the two species together. This is the creation of Sephiroth.

The rest you undoubtedly know, yet I'll do a quick run-through for topics' sake. Sephiroth did not turn out as they expected, still ignorant of the fact that Jenova was not an Ancient/Cetra. When Sephiroth found out that Shin Ra was creating monsters using humans, he snapped, finding out that he was created in a similar way, by the fact that his mother's name and the monsters name in the room of the reactor were the same. The documents in the Shin Ra basement confirmed this. Then Sephiroth went truly mad, horrified and angered that he was the 'rightful heir' to the planet and that these 'weaklings' had done so much harm to his ‘mother’ and himself.

Now, since Jenova was dead, it had no way of ever controlling its body, obviously. But Sephiroth, who was half-Jenova, if you will, could manipulate the cells of Jenova's body, a trademark of the species it seems. So in all the times you see Sephiroth in the game, it’s not really Sephiroth--it's actually Sephiroth controlling Jenova's body, and making it change shape to look like him. A madman fighting with the puppet of his 'mother's' dead body--which brings up the puppet question, but that's another story for another time.

As Sephiroth has control over all Jenova cells that also means that he has control of the cells that have been injected into countless SOLDIER's, clones, and human experiments. Now this is where Cloud comes in. As he was also experimented on, Jenova cells were also injected into him as well. Sephiroth was able to manipulate the cells to his advantage, mainly in the memory part of the brain.

This should help.
 
Think we can close this now. Next time, you could try Wikipedia or something. Im sure we have loads of threads that cover this.
