You know, it's funny. In Rebirth, using Glenn's form to mess with Rufus already made sense in a Telltale Heart kind of way, but the added context from Ever Crisis almost makes it feel like Seph is saying "That's what you get for killing my friend, you rich bastard."

In the olden days (pre-compilation), I was part of several communities where we'd spitball theories about FFVII, and my favorite theory was that Sephiroth as a character essentially stops existing during the 7 days he spends in the Nibelheim mansion, and that everything after that (including the sacking of Nibelheim itself) is Jenova basically piloting his body. Sort of a Mitochondria Eve situation, where Melissa is the unwilling vessel for Eve. Sephiroth was able to fight her influence off due to sheer will, but once his will was shaken, she was able to undermine him. You really see this process in Rebirth: Sephiroth's mind drifts to his mother, he's fascinated by the scenery, and Cloud comments "he was off all day". Then you get to the reactor and he's clearly drawn (almost without thinking) towards the door and only comes back to his senses when Cloud/Zach calls for him. Then, in the basement, she finally manages to take full control after Cloud/Zach checks on him. He even gets the same headaches Cloud does. I *really* hope they play with this more. I feel like he has so much potential as a tragic villain, but too often it gets brushed aside so that he can be mysterious and cool. Dude's a victim same as Cloud, even if he did murder Aeris (and let's be honest--Cloud very nearly did the same to Elena!)

​@@NyasNyus-sw8opYes, he's a human, experimented on with Jenova cells in utero. Hojo is his father, Lucrecia his mother. Because he was exposed to undiluted Jenova DNA as a fetus he's immune to degradation, but gets all the benefits of Jenova's strength and mimetic powers. Jenova tried to manipulate his mind but thanks to his mental fortitude he eventually overcomes her and instead uses her body as a puppet to carry out his own goals. Ever Crisis now seems to be setting up that initial mental conflict, and maybe expanding it and working it into the Remake multiverse storyline. It wasn't clear in the original if he ever truly came to understand his actual nature while absorbing the knowledge within the Lifestream, but he still refers to Jenova as his mother in AC so probably not.

Cloud and Sephiroth are in ways parallel and i think thats what they are building up on here. Both Cloud and Sephiroth have their moment of having their identity shattered. Sephiroth rebuilds his identity through shinra reports and gets false information. He no longer thinks he's human. The truth is that he is human, born from Lucrecia and hojo. Cloud goes through a similar situation, thinking he is failed copy of Sephiroth. Not human. But with the help of Tifa, they rebuild his memories and find Clouds true self.

Sephiroth is part human. He is fused with alien cells. He may look human but he is not fully human. There is a difference between being mako fused then litteraly having Jenova cells injected into you. So he is a symbios of human and alien. But he is not 100% human.
@darxed
@darxed 13 күн бұрын
So, after watching this in Ever Crisis and having thought about the ending of Rebirth and Remake a lot more than I probably should have, I came to a theory of my own. Sephiroth was part human, part Jenova, so, when Cloud killed him in Nibelheim his consciousness got split in two. His human side returned to the lifestream, but much like Aerith, due to him being so powerful he managed to maintain itself. This is the Sephiroth we see at the Edge of Creation, the one that ponders about his past, the one that's friendly to Cloud and that's why he acts so different. We have no idea what this Sephiroth wants, It could be what Max says or some other thing completely different. Maybe he was the one that started the changes that lead to Remake, we just don't know. The other part, the Jenova part, couldn't return to the planet so it lingered on like the Gi and that Sephiroth is the one we see in the OG... I also think that last Sephiroth is an organism comparable to Jenova, but it's not the same or is being controlled by it. That's why that Sephiroth is so almost comically evil and his motivations seem to align with those Jenova had when it crashed into the planet all those years ago. So if Omni Sephiroth is playing 4D chess with Omni Aerith, the Sephiroth from the Edge of Creation is probably even above that

This is the conclusion I came to as well. Sephiroth basically pulled a Vergil with Urizen and V, with the Edge of Creation Sephiroth being his true human side and Omni-Sephiroth being 100% JENOVA, each existing in the lifestream independently. Since JENOVA wasn't born of the planet, it couldn't enter the lifestream without "hitching a ride" on Sephiroth. Now that we can guess from Rebirth that the lifestream transcends time and space, I think JENOVA is trying to pull off the end of FFVII OG on a multiversal level scale by absorbing the entire lifestream across every timeline all at once, while the true Sephiroth is actually working to stop it. My crazy swing-for-the-fences prediction is that the final battle will see Cloud, Zack, and human Sephiroth be your 3-person party to take down Omni-JENOVA, but that might be a little out there lol

can I contest your theory a bit, what I took from the ending is what Sephirot really wants, and it aligns with OG. let's delve into it. some storyboards from Ultimania show that the nebula behind Sephirot and Cloud on the edge of creation represent death and life respectively. when we reach there sephirot talks about them being on the "edge" of creation (mark "edge", because it is the border between creation and death), and that the planet is going there, to that nebula (death), but he will not end nor let you end (this you can be inferred to be cloud, but by ever crisis, it can be rosen too). So what I take from that is that the edge of creation is the line where worlds in the lifestream get absorbed, die and give way to create new life, that's why the worlds are dying in rebirth. it's part of the cycle. What Sephirot wants more than anything, is to preserve its life and in consequence its memory, (I will never be just a memory), and in OG he was able to use his will to preserve his soul, by clinching to Cloud´s memory of him. that's why he says he says he will not end, nor let the memory of cloud of Rosen and maybe even Angeal, Genesis, end, and why everything is saying he wants to save the planet because he wants to save himself, stall the planet's cycle of souls so he can remain alive, in a way the reverse of Aerith, he can't accept death. 7 seconds till the end, seems to be the time Sephirot has until that world becomes life energy, so he stalled it. "Time enough for you", he knows that Cloud has time to help him while he stalls or freezes that time, but he wonders what Cloud will do with it. Now you wonder how he froze time? Simple, he made the party defeat the whisper harbinger, that reigned over destiny. that's my take on it, in a way Sephirot is trying to save Rosen, Cloud...by saving their world memory and not letting death reach them, in that thinking by stopping the planet from rebirthing, he preserves the memory of that world and in a sense that world, so for him he is trying to save it.

This, and it'd help bring closure to the Compilation. Jenova's basically a cancer on the planet, and she'll never be reintegrated into the Lifestream since she's a foreign body. She's just going to keep pulling herself back together and rearing her ugly head over and over again. It'd be sort of nice if the last game culminates in you finally purging her for good (Seph would probably have to die, but I'd like to see him get a little bit of a redemption, since he's every bit the victim that Cloud is.)

The boss during the exchange is assumed to be another form of JENOVA, because it has JENOVA's signature staccato brass section at the beginning of the battle. At the time Glenn, Matt, Lucia, and Sephiroth assume that the monster is a guardian of the planet summoned in defense against the calamity of the island, but in actuality is probably a manifestation of JENOVA yet again as Rosen is killed as the final sacrifice of his people and was the sole overseer of the islands "mana" (Mako), much like how JENOVA Lifeclinger is awakened by the death of Aerith as the last Cetra. Since JENOVA was a black project by Hojo, nobody would have known at the time. Buno D'rhad also has the same hand, eye, and purple decay design philosphy that the devs have for JENOVA.

One thing to keep in mind is that in japanese, post Nibelheim Sephiroth refers to himself as 'Watashi', however at the edge of creation, he refers to himself as 'Ore', like he did when he was still a war hero. So it's possible that this Sephiroth might still be evil, but could no longer be under Jenova's influence and completely insane.

Imo making Jenova the main antagonist is the best way to go. She technically was from the start, but everything was thrown at Sephiroth, even thou he obviously was a puppet. But what wasn't articulated, is that he was going through everything Cloud is going through. Before Rebirth released I rly wished that they sorta expand the Sephiroth stuff and im not disappointed.

I do think Seph from seven seconds 'til the end is different because Rebirth Sephiroth in the rift between worlds refers to the reunion as a unification of worlds, and it sounds like he's all for it and trying to get Cloud to embrace it. This other Sephiroth seems to be against the reunion based on the way he talks, "our world will become a part of it some day but I will not end, nor will I have you end" doesn't sound much like he wants a reunion to me. Seems like a neutral Sephiroth but for all we know he could be heroic as opposed to all the others, and he also doesn't seem to be messing with Cloud in any way, he could be messing with his mind if he wanted to, in fact Cloud's headache seems to go away when Sephiroth grabs his hand and warns him to be careful. I don't think that Sephiroth's goal is destruction as opposed to the others.

It almost seems like this Sephiroth outlived his own timeline's demise and is at the edge of creation trying to find the "good ending" timeline (i.e. Scarlet Witch from MoM), being the main timeline we play through. However, even the main timeline has a fatal flaw so Sephiroth is attempting to steer Cloud in a direction that yields the optimal result. This is assuming the theory that this Sephiroth feels like he owes it to Rosen to fix everything, even by bending time and space itself. I agree that it is safe to say that Sephiroth has identified Jenova as the true "devil" of this universe, and by destroying completely they can set everything right again before it's too late. So many options/possible paths here!

All I'm saying is, I had the right take back in 1997 when I was thought to myself, "Damn, Sephiroth was done dirty." His character is far more tragic than anything; a good man driven insane by insanely bad luck and the unfortunate characteristic of being infused with Space Satan's DNA. Jenova was always the main villain.

I don't even think he had enough time to be characterized that much at all in the OG? Since so many of those lines are Jenova more than Sephiroth, all I remember that was Sephiroth was pretty much him after he goes on the worlds worst book-bender in the Nibelheim mansions cellar.

If that was the case then that place would be filled with a bunch of humans and monsters. I think it's only a place where variables can enter. Cloud, aerith, sephiroth have past visions, effectively allowing them to change the canonical future. And then Zack living is the outcome of messing with destiny. And a very big variable at that. Zack living alongside cloud could potentially have massive changes to the timeline might be to the best or for the worst who knows. My theory is that edge of creation is where everything ends and begins. And that's why the people that can mess with that can enter it.

And we know next to nothing about her. Would be prime subject matter to .ake use off. The trailer supports this for me along with this suggestion that Sephiroths plans while not nessarily good by sane accounts may not be the true threat but the calamity herself.

Or did he fail? Was he able to go against Sephiroth controled Fate Whispers because EoC Sephiroth or by himself, and why did Tifa also for a moment saw the twisted worlds? Then there is the weapon showing Tifa the Key moments to help Cloud recover... something tells me, when that moment comes, we will see EoC Sephiroth again

And Sephiroth always seemed this way, but perhaps, there were times that this particular feeling sunk in more than others.

Ever crisis establishes that the lifestream is made up of memories, which got me thinking. When sephiroth says the iconic line, “I will never be a memory,” i don’t really know if he’s saying “I will never lose or I will never be defeated.” What I think he could be saying is, “I will never be accepted into the lifestream.” That’s why he keeps coming back after being killed, like in advent children. Maybe that Sephiroth at the edge of creation is the remaining bit of his humanity, and he needs cloud to show him the the right path to finally fully return to the planet (kind of like kadaj in advent children)

Although I like your idea, I've always taken that line ("I will never be a memory") as him saying "I will not be contained to the lifestream, I will always return to the "real" world", because the lifestream is "memories" like you said. Building on that, I wonder if Sephiroth gains more power by having people be reminded that he is around, "living in their memory" so to speak. Which then makes sense that he wants to be out in "the real world" and not just stuck in the lifestream; nobody except our main characters will think of him while he's in the lifestream, while if he comes out into the open world and does stuff people will think more of him and maybe that will influence the lifestream/make the "Sephiroth" memory stronger?

Which is why sometimes he just shows up around Cloud and... doesn't really do anything except say "Don't forget me, keep holding on to your hatred" because if Cloud doesn't do that Sephiroth (at least in my theory) will be less powerful because he'll be out of Cloud's memories (who has the closest ties to Sephiroth).

There is a gap that Cloud doesn't see, such as scenes where the real Sephiroth disappears, and the one that torches Nibelheim is an imposter. And that same imposter remains as Cloud's nemesis, and the real Sephiroth will reconnect with the main timeline at some point.

He might even be speaking cryptically to Cloud this whole time because Jenova is always listening and Sephiroth is playing 5D chess orchestrating Jenova's downfall without even being suspected of doing so.

So I am getting the impression they are setting up Sephiroth to become like Golbez in FFIV and Jenova is Zeromus in FFIV. That sets up an interesting finale, that like in FFIV the big bad ends up not being so bad but being strung along like a puppet by an influencer. It makes even more sense since Sephiroth was born of Jenova cells establishing a connection between Sephiroth and Jenova and also to Cloud too that it isn't actually Sephiroth influencing him, but Jenova directly. That makes this story so much deeper!

To Sum it up he's Anakin as a Mortis God, seeing the good and bad through his eyes alone through all the multiverse. And also the Lich from Adventure Time/Fiona and Cake mostly where he realizes that even though he became this omnipotent being that purged what he thought wasn't good enough for life, extinguished it and now sorely regrets the mistakes he's made. what was it for? at what end? was there another way? Yes, and he finds that through this new timeline and how he could reverse it and make it better but first put everyone through the same struggle. Doesn't need to be like the original but just a little enough to break destiny and change the course of time. The True choesn one will be him, but only through sacrifice will he make it right.

Lot of people want Sephiroth to stay evil and theorizing how will they finally kill him for good but, i think it would be best to just ended it with the og duel with no gimmick, and he ended up actually die with a smile this time around and didn't try to cling to life.

The island sunk into the ocean, they might redo a lot of this to explain who Glenn is and give some insight on Sephiroth in FF7R directly with an underwater tour If anything, I think Sephiroth is trying to break the connection to Jenova with how they're retconning the Jenova headaches to him while he's young, sorta fits the "breaking away from the system" thing they have going on with ShinRa

I think there's two Sephiroths you talk to. One that's Sephiroth from the first time through into Advent Children. And then Jenova. 7 seconds until the end, Don't let her fool you Cloud, Worlds Unite and so too do they part ..... That's Advent Children Sephiroth. And then other Sephiroth is just Jenova.

It feels like Square is starting to set up Sephiroth as the dark knight character, similar to Kain in FFIV. Are they setting up a redemption arc for the character-maybe suggesting that Jenova controlled his actions in Nibelheim similar to how Cloud’s been controlled in Rebirth? I don’t know. But now I’m thinking: What if Sephiroth stating “I’m going to see my mother” was actually “I’m going to see my ‘mother,’” and he was going to the reactor to kill her. And Cloud just struck him down right before Sephiroth was able to stop “the calamity from the skies” and come back to his senses? Cuz now with scenes like this, his sudden turn does not match his character at all. I love this shit.

An interesting detail I noticed at 13:19 in the Season 2 trailer was during the moment with Hojo standing in the pink mist. The scene is shown from Sephiroth's point of view, and as the camera zooms in on Hojo, a bright red flash occurs. We saw earlier that he had green flashes in his mind. Judging by what we saw with Cloud in the Remake, Rebirth and even the Original, green flickers are a mild form of Jenova’s influence on the psyche and perception, just an unpleasant headache. But the more intense the impact or more painful the memories/trauma/awareness of what is happening for the object with Jenova cells, the darker the color, which from an almost transparent light gray becomes green, then yellowing begins, then orange, and in the end everything turns red. This could mean that the image of Hojo for Sephiroth is an extremely powerful trigger and lever of pressure on his consciousness.
