Final Fantasy VII Rebirth: To Be a Hero SOLO SEPHIROTH ONLY

[@NeutralL12]

Sick stuff! Think you’ll do solo Zack bonds of friendship?

[@ThatsGuyFlaming]

I’m gonna be honest with you since I’ve see a few people ask. I am working on it and Zack’s is MUCH tougher than Sephiroth’s. Not only because Sephiroth is just busted but because the lineup of enemies between the summons is harder. I have hope it’s doable. If I get it done, it will be here.

[@FossBoss723]

@@ThatsGuyFlaming You inspired me to do both with this video. I did Sephiroth's in about 26 minutes in a few tries and Zack's makes me want to rip my hair out. Dude has no pressure game whatsoever and needs level 3 charge to do any real damage. His path is also much harder and he doesn't have Seph's limit gain and get out of jail reraise.

[@ThatsGuyFlaming]

@@FossBoss723 Furthest I have made it so far is stage 4. I beat Phoenix once (honestly complete luck) and immediately got knowledge checked by Brineborn Demon. Titan isn’t that difficult once you get the patterns down, second boss is annoying but doable, just takes a while. I agree with everything you’ve said. It feels like it takes 2 uses of Meteor Strikes III to get similar results to one Focused Thrust from Cloud.

Its not that amazing. This is what games need to go back to. Being released as full products. DLC needs to be pushed into the past. If production wants to make new content for an exisiting IP, they should just save it for the next release instead of spoon feeding people.

Shoutouts to Sephrioph, Angeal, and Genesis who helped me get this far….

[@Charliestrife01]

I LOVE doing this challenge solo. I’ve learnt so many cool quirks to sephs combat! To anyone reading did you know when you parry an attack and use counter you actually counter the damage you just parried? So if a move was gona hit you for 9999 and you parried it you are about to do a whopper of a counter!:)

[@lastshot856]

thats dope

[@Yusei255]

Parrying is for Losers.

[@watchdevil]

i thought it starts at a base number dmg and each time you parry again without using the counter,the dmg and limit break that it gives goes higher and higher. but the huge part that i figured out was the counter dmg ignores the defense or barrier or whatever the enemy has,in other word it deals true dmg.so its the best way to break Titans shield

[@matten_zero]

Ah the old "I'll let you kill me because I have Reraise" flex 😂. Sephiroth is a demon. Stronger and faster than everyone

[@Charliestrife01]

@@watchdevil it just all depends on what attack you parry I’m certain of it. I am still experimenting and there MAY be a sort of buildup in counter damage you accumulate but I’m not sure. From what I know that’s 100% true if you parry an attack that does 5k damage you will deal that back. The bigger the number the more limit you charge. The second round you can parry the ogres attack when he’s fully buffed “fury I think it’s called” and you will literally deal 9999 back haha. It killed him but I noticed my limit go from a quarter full to completely full.

[@KevX1127]

After playing the game strategically through all the brutal and legendary challenges, I love how the game rewards us with Sephiroth that we can go into full hack and slash mode

[@andreaaurigemma2782]

It has always been playable since og ff7.

[@andruism7]

The fact that they made a playable Sephiroth has me wondering if we'll see an 'alternate timeline' where he remained a hero. Not saying it's necessarily a good idea, but seems a waste to design him just for one fight and a tutorial mission.

[@zacksiva7457]

exactly, i figured the same, in one of the timeline, where sephi knows his birth mother is Lucretia, and he doesn't crack

[@BobBob-pr4eh]

@@zacksiva7457thing is he was always looking for his mother, so I think his end is all the same. Lucrecia being his mother doesn’t change the fact that she betrayed him, a fact that is guaranteed to make him insane just like thinking Jenova is his mom made him insane. I think it would be the same whether he learned jenova wasn’t a cetra but an alien. Everything is horrific to know as a fact. Even being just a human makes his life a tragic irony. Everyone in his life has betrayed him. But he won’t betray his ideals and his devotion to someone he loves. Which is why I think his descent into madness is so compelling and works even almost 30 yrs later! He is a great villain with compelling reasons to do what he does.

[@oneofthekindscarf8612]

​@BobBob-pr4eh He would still be crushed and heartbroken, but I don't think he'd be the same deranged world dominating sephiroth, because he did what he did originally because he thought he was the son of Jenova and believed that humanity took the world from her, so he was going to take it back in her name

[@zacksiva7457]

@@oneofthekindscarf8612 exactly 💯, and he would have known that it was all Jenova (alien) plot from day1, manipulated the humans to get rid of the cetra and now orchestrated everything whilst puppeteering Sephiroth in the prime world. The hero version of Sephiroth will not stand for that!! his ego will b challenged

[@BobBob-pr4eh]

@@oneofthekindscarf8612 I used to as well but as I’ve gotten older I’ve realized he would simply reject it out of sheer pain and cling onto the lies hojo and shinra told him(whim adds onto the ironic tragedy) He would still fall into madness and destroying the world’s inhabitants. Because either way even his real mom didn’t want him. He wasn’t even worth anything to anyone except for his power. And now he gets to use the way he wants to. Part of me thinks, the new remake version of sephiroth knows it but can’t and won’t accept it. At least the crazy alien fake cetra jenovah gives him something to pour his energy into. And he’s finally expressing his freedom, but it’s delusional because he’s just another victim of hojos sadism. He’s just a fool which is why he’s a great villain to clouds pure innocence and selflessness. He has no freedom yet his actions are not of a fool but of someone exceeding regular human morals and standard. Most people are standbyers (technically sephiroth was too by being a tool for shinra and not facing the fact of what he was doing) but Cloud didn’t even hesitate for even a second, he went into action and did it. A true brave soldier and hero (of good)

[@Paeddl]

I know they said there wont be Rebirth DLC. But a combat Simulator Update where you could create your own Fights with every enemy or boss from the Game and play with any Party you want including Sephiroth and Zack would be awesome

[@ThatsGuyFlaming]

I really want something like this too. While working on this video there were a few times where I really wanted to practice against a particular enemy with Sephiroth but couldn’t. Also I just wanna fight Gilgamesh again without doing the other Rulers of Outer Worlds fights again.

[@pepitoaguilar8830]

To those that don't know when Odin throws his spear and it connects you are not allowed to perform any offense atb move or else he will counter however you can still attack normally and heal, you would know if your character has pink rings around their hands like at 28:10 The only way around is wait or switching to someone else in the party

[@johngoldfield6602]

its so weird to hear Sephiroth make expressive grunting sounds

[@obscurity3027]

Yeah, Sephy's limit break gauge mechanics are pretty busted when you know how to do it. I found the "To be a Hero" challenge far easier than the "Bonds of Friendship" challenge for that very reason. Awesome solo kill, though...this can't be easy without Cloud nuking everything.

[@ivanchewmy6072]

Thx for this man, I know I'll need to to clear the Leg Bout during the fight with odin or bahamut, indeed it saved my ass when fighting odin since he took out my cloud instantly (panic lols), and had Seph solo him with Circle Triangle and few times of LB. Finally cleared it!

Cloud: F*** off. *Walks away* Chadley: Okay, Sephiroth, I guess you will do a CPU vs CPU run in this simulation. Virtual Sephiroth: Cloud is into those gacha games where npc allied characters are weak that you literally have to use your own roster you pay gacha for to complete. I completely understand that feeling. Chadley: Sephiroth you are way too understanding for being a virtual being. Virtual Sephiroth: I know my mother is the creator of this virtual hologram of a person who used to exist. Mother created me to be an asset for everyone involved so I will abide accordingly.

What annoys me about the Remakes of FF7 is no matter how hard u grind and level up your characters you can never beat everything on all modes unless you are a very skilled player, and sadly I'm not, I beat the OG FF7 to FF10 with all my players maxed out and beat every secret boss it was so rewarding, but I just don't have the skill to beat Rebirth 100% no matter how much I max level everything 😭, makes me feel bad
