[@davidcrawford5324]

Agreed. They should've left that part as it was and showed one already dead and impaled on that tree like the OG. It's great that they let us fight the snake early on rather than being forced to run from it, but that bit at the end with Cloud being dragged underwater with Sephiroth showing up to save him kinda ruined that part for me

I was struggling with this boss too. I picked up 2 extra ice materia spammed it with blizzard and it fell fairly easily. Just something for anyone else who is stuck.

[@floricel_112]

So the fight is MANDATORY at THIS point in time?......Ooooh, I HAAAAATE THIS! The whole point of this sequence was to showcase just how unprepared you REALLY are to take on Sephiroth. Before you stands a massive marsh, which you have to pass using either chocobos or trickery. For if you try to take the looming shadow head on, you come face to face with a MASSIVE, just completely GI-GANTIC serpent to which you are absolutely, completely no match at this point. Only lunch. So you have to cross the marsh WITHOUT coming into contact with the giant snake which spells out death otherwise; and you eventually do.....only to find, on the other side of the marsh, a SIMILAR giant snake's corpse, brutally impaled upon a giant spike, which is quickly deduced to be the handiwork of Sephiroth. This serpent, which is impossible for you to defeat at this point, which you had to run away from and narrowly avoid.....was effortlessly taken out by Sephiroth, the guy you are chasing......you are not ready to face Sephiroth. Fighting it at this point in time just detracts from the horror of the revelation, mystery of HOW Sephiroth did it exactly and from the test of strenght that you have to return later to as a benchmark. And for what? More Nomura-esque bs?

[@metalsmithnick8714]

What made Sephiroth one of the best villains was its legendary nature: everybody talked about his power and how dangerous it was, you knew he was there, but you could rarely ever see him. Too much Sephiroth in the remake.

It’s a staple of bad writing, in that everything now needs to be shown on screen and nothing remains a mystery.

[@justsumguy8193]

agreed. They took out all the mystery. Like how in remake, they took out the part shinra building where you wake up and there's dead bodies everywhere, smeared blood on the walls. No mystery whatsoever. It's like Squre Enix doesn't understand what made the story so good in the first place.

[@kieragard]

Sephiroth killed the snake in the original. Or rather a clone did. For most people, if you brought your party there the snake would wreck you. So this is what's supposed to happen.

[@IamtheMan1111]

Sephiroth's real body is in forgotten island, activated by black materia. If that's true, it's his copy that saved cloud. But the question is, how is mere copies can perform better as sephiroth?

[@konjiki8203]

Honestly I find both ways they portray Sephiroth’s strength in both versions. In the OG you find another snake skewered on a tree, and you are left wondering if Sephiroth did this. In Rebirth, you fight the snake as a boss, and it takes quite a while to beat it, and you still couldn’t kill it. Then Sephiroth shows up and two shots the same snake, showing you firsthand that the boss you had a bit of difficulty beating, wasn’t even a warmup for him, indicating a massive power gap.

Beta doesn’t hurt you, and you don’t even get learn it as an enemy skill. Zolom was almost unbeatable in the OG at first. Still happy I got to experience it tho, and Zolom is still fucking scary lol

[@vc180191]

Not sure if I like this or not, I feel like they've butchered half of Sephiroth's presentation in these games. What was so enticing about him in the original was the mystery and the unspoken results of what he does, he just seems too....present...in these games. One minute you go to sleep after being captured, the next minute you wake up and there are dead bodies lining the corridors, blood splattered everywhere. Nobody knows why this has happened or what unspeakable monster had to have done this. All you can do is walk through the corridors to the head honcho's office, only to find the leader of Shinra is impaled on a sword that Cloud identifies as belonging to Sephiroth. THAT was suspense and unspoken tension which was entirely missing from the remake. You find a giant serpent in the swamps and either got Game Over'd by it or ran from it with your tail between your legs. Most likely fleeing and avoiding was the only option, unless you grinded to hell and back to have the chance to finally eke a victory against it......only to find another physically impaled on a tree like it was a joke. Again, Sephiroth didn't have to be seen to be a terrifying presence, his results spoke for himself. Now it just feels underspoken. Sure it looks badass and you can see the difference between Sephiroth and Cloud, but the whole issue is just muddled by the whole "rescue" aspect. Rather than being a terrifying visage of his power, you are just stuck with confusion on what his presence here means.

[@HavocPrime8989]

I think that confusion is what they are banking on, and that's going to be the divisive thing with the fanbase. FF7 is over 20 years old, so the vast majority of Remake/Rebirth players have either played it, or they know the story. So SE decided that since they can't re-invoke the mystery of Sephiroth, double down on his sheer overwhelming presence. Use what everyone knows from the original (or thinks they know), then make twists to be both nostalgic and original. It's a canon attempt at an AU fan fic. The players know the original story, and it's implied that some characters are aware. But these games want to be more than just a modern graphic rehash. It wants to be it's own story while acknowledging the original. We can only see if it succeeds or not in that ambition.

[@richardkhchang]

​@@HavocPrime8989 People always say this, but I feel like the fact that the game is over 20 years old is precisely why most players haven't experienced it at this point. Anyone who didn't start gaming until 20 years ago or less (which has probably become a majority of active gamers at this point) probably don't actually know these moments, and instead of having a palatable version of what truly made them special, they're giving them arguably less effective fan-fiction versions of them, for the sake of surprising the now niche old crowd (many of whom have outgrown the need to be superficially shocked by novelty). I think some of these changes can be improvements on the original, but I do think it's playing with fire, could be hit or miss (personally, I think the demo was a hit and this scene feels like a miss based on this video-- the impaled snake was a powerful moment in the original and feels very sloppy and cheesy here), and I'm not sure I agree with the artistic justification for it. As a marketing decision, I do think it's smart though, simply because it keeps people talking about it whether they like it or not.

[@HavocPrime8989]

@@richardkhchang These are very good points, and I agree that it is going to be a very hit or miss thing on the mass appeal of these changes. And I myself felt like the impaled Midgar Zolom was iconic and a miss for this iteration. But I do want to give it a chance to see if it is a good game on its own merits. And unlike a lot of great games that are lost to time or you have to jump through hoops for, the FF games are easily accessible. Heck, I want to almost argue that FF4 has more ports than Skyrim and is second only to Doom for being on every system.

[@Ti7Vk3y]

IDK I think this sells me more on Sephiroth's power than the snake already impaled. You get a cool boss fight with crazy spectacle like Beta going off ending with the boss still having enough strength left to kill Cloud without Sephiroth's intervention. Extra bonus points cause I always wondered how he got the damn snake up there since I was little. Also this is very inline with Sephiroth too since he knows saving Cloud would probably make him "chase after" him more. Makes sense to me. There's a certain scariness that also comes from someone who seems to be everywhere watching rather than someone who's always just "in another castle" all the damn time imo as well. The fact you never really get to confront the dude for most of the original game always bugged me and when you do actually fight him it's not in the way you want to cause his arm looks like a damn chicken wing. That always bugged me back then. The character design people are so attached to is never really confronted until the final scene and it's basically just a omnislash cutscene.

[@Diablo3364]

They can't do the mystery of sephiroth anymore because everyone who has even heard of FF7 knows who sephiroth is. They can't make mysterious, so they will make him more intimidating

This is a complete failure to recreate the potency of the zolom encounter. It's intent is to say that you are not powerful, you can not beat everything.

Now you just beat a snake, and then cutscenes happen, and your enemy saves you for some reason.

Also likely to have sephy show up more times that is likely a shadow/ghost/whatever of him to really be the bread crumb trail more. I still like the fact they really did the thing in the original ff7 where Sephy left a corpse of a giant snek that you originally needed chocobos to avoid, flaunting how ez he mauled it back then and they kept with the tradition.
