The most impressive character in FF7

Sephiroth.

Originally the 1st warrior of Shinra, known as the legendary hero, the perfect masterpiece of the Jenova plan. He was once the idol of Claude's generation. He uses a famous Japanese sword - authentic, with a blade length of about 2 meters.

Five years ago (calculated at the beginning of the FF7 game), Sephiroth was on a mission to investigate the Mako Reactor in Nibelheim. After seeing humans soaked in Mako with his own eyes, he began to investigate There were doubts about his own life experience. After that, he consulted a large amount of literature and finally realized that he was not a descendant of humans but a product of the Jenova project. Due to errors in the literature, he compared Jenova with the ancient species (Settra) mistaken for the same creature. He began to hate humans and vowed to take back the planet that originally belonged to the ancient species from human hands.

The shocking ultimate villain: Sephiroth (17 photos)

Later, in the life spring of the ancient Seed Temple, Sephiroth, who absorbed the knowledge in the spring, finally recognized After understanding the difference between Jenova and the ancient species, and finding out that he was actually Hojo's son, he embarked on the path of annihilation with extreme hatred for human beings and inner distortion.

Although he was defeated by Claude 2 years ago and the meteorite plan was blocked by Life stream, this does not mean that he failed completely because Jenova did not completely be wiped out. "Even if it is beaten to pieces, every part of Jenova's body can still be reunited in the end." Can Hojo's prophecy come true?

Two years after the end of the game story (in FF7 AC), Jenova's missing body - the mysterious trio: kadaj, loz, Yazoo captured the head of Jenova in the big hollow and successfully combined it, resurrecting Sephiroth and fighting Cloud.

In the end, Sephiroth was defeated , as his body disappeared, he said - "I will not become a memory"

Here is an article: "Written to Sephiroth, who is not a hero"

By the way, I must review it first.

I swear to the Goddess of King's Landing that I am definitely not the type to judge people by their appearance, but for my "feelings" for this so-called most popular villain BOSS in history, I really started judging people by their appearance.

As a person who has never touched a game since the end of the red and white console Contra Tank Battle era (mainly because he likes cooperative systems and really has no love for stand-alone games). To put it bluntly, until AC appeared, I had no idea that such a thing as FF7 existed in the world. After AC was released, it required too much game background, so when I watched it I had no idea who was who, what everyone was doing, and what was going on in the plot. OTZ, the only thing I felt was that there were so many handsome guys and beauties that were eye-catching, and now 3D The technology is really as good as Mars. Just when I was confused at the end, Comrade Sephiroth appeared.

I can’t remember the specific feelings now, such as how elegant that silver hair was, how YY that dress was, how perfect that figure was, how calm and invincible that voice was, and that The man who raised his hand to control the wind and rain was so handsome that it was shocking... The only thing that impressed me was when Comrade Sephiroth first came out, he raised his eyes and smiled, and then said "Long time no see, Cloud". I was completely pushed down, what a overwhelming momentum it was orz

(I must complain here... In the end, Sephiroth's "I, will not only exist in "Memory", boss, you are "defeated"----Of course, I personally think it is more like going back when you are tired of playing--it is better to look defeated, how can you be so elegant without disappearing? It’s so unkind to be so confident orz! )

So, I learned that there is a game called FF7, and the name of the villain in it is Sephiroth, who is very handsome and very strong. Very cool and impressive.

Then I started to buy this and that with less strong obsession, such as figures, models, bundled version of PSP... Thinking about it, if it were someone else, I would be able to do this in this way. It's basically unthinkable to spend so much money judging someone's feelings based on their appearance. Sure enough, Comrade Sephiroth has been a special being from the beginning OTZ

But at this time, the understanding of Sephiroth is still at the level of looking up to a "deified" figure, and we still only know his past He is a hero, and then he is a model of anti-"humanity". He still has never thought about truly understanding the world of FF7, what does it mean-----

To put it bluntly, love is never enough. = =#

This state lasted until I officially started playing FF7 Crisis Core.

Actually, when I first came into contact with CC, I sprayed it many times...

But this is understandable. Who would have thought that the haunting elusive one could change the situation with just a raise of his hand? A perverted person who can turn the whole planet upside down is a big BOSS, but he still has to call people on the phone to find people, he can tease people, he can apologize, he can tell cold jokes, and he can also use such a cute and coaxing tone of voice. Say "Ah, really~~"?

But then, as the plot progressed, I couldn’t laugh even if I wanted to.

I remember a friend complained that in fact, Sephiroth in CC is nothing----

The protagonist is Zack, the spiritual model is Angeal, and the villain BOSS is Genesis. , the culprit is Shinra.

Then there are also classic stupid apples, classic Loveless, and classic dreams of love, friendship, responsibility, etc., all things worthy of praise and nostalgia.

These, as the friend said, have nothing to do with Sephiroth.

Indeed, when I think about it now, the existence of Sephiroth has almost no meaning to the main line of CC and the noble theme of "responsibility and dreams". In CC, although most of the meaning of "crisis" refers to the Nibelheim incident, in essence, except for the last scene where Zack and Cloud almost died and changed their future fate, In addition, Sephiroth is just a high-level supporting actor, and he is also a high-level supporting actor who ends the scene with "sin".

"Sephiroth?! That big hero!!"

"Sephiroth is a super powerful special soldier."

"I am playing the big hero! Sephiroth!"

Hero? Looking at CC, when has the hero of Sephiroth been embodied? The only three times I saw him do it, the first time was playing around with two friends, and the last time was the "Anti-Humanity" battle with Zack in Nibelheim's Mako Reactor. In the middle, he finally faced off against the enemy once and symbolically Three or two times and it's done.

"Heroes are promoted by the media."

That Kansel, although his strength is definitely far inferior to Zack (I still don't know what rank he is, I guess he is 3rd--), but his thinking seems to be much more mature than Zack's.

Yes, rather than saying that Sephiroth is the hero of the world, it is better to say that Sephiroth is the hero of Shinra. In other words, Shinra Company needs the perfect, powerful and dedicated Sephiroth. A hero.

So when everyone worships a hero, they will support the group to which the hero belongs; when they yearn for a hero, they will join the group to which the hero belongs; after joining, they will be used by Shinra to achieve their own goals. Business purpose----

Either protect the world, or destroy the world.

That’s all.

“Angel is a person who takes good care of his subordinates, Sephiroth is a super powerful special forces soldier, and Genesis hates teamwork, so in fact the spiritual leader of the special forces soldiers is Angel. Can you *** with Angel? What a shame!”

The text message sent by the special forces to Zack reveals the price of heroism.

What is a hero? A hero is perfection, a hero is a dream, a hero is a childhood goal, a hero is a golden statue--you can only worship it from a distance, and you don't even want to touch it.

As for whether the statue is made of stone or flesh and blood, no one will care, and no one can know.

So,

Sephiroth has no parents? It doesn't matter, because he is a hero;

Sephiroth loses friends? It doesn't matter, because he is a hero;

Will Sephiroth suffer? Impossible, because he is a hero;

Sephiroth fights bravely? Yes, because he is a hero;

Did Sephiroth make a mistake? ...

Unforgivable! ! ! !

Because he is a hero.

Indeed, Sephiroth is excellent, powerful, proud, and even seems to be perfect----

But it is a pity that Sephiroth is not a hero.

This person is actually not very indifferent, so he will take the initiative to mention to Zack the story of sneaking into the training room with Angel and Genesis, and then he will not say anything when Zack sighs, "We have a good relationship." Hiding a helpless and self-deprecating smile - "So what" - his friends didn't leave him without even saying hello; he would ask Cloud about what it was like to go home when he first entered Nibelheim, just because of himself He has no relatives or hometown; when he turns around and walks into the hotel, he will suddenly turn around and tell his subordinates who have returned home after a long absence: "Oh, that's right. It's okay to go home and visit."

This man actually doesn’t like to be superior, so he will stand in the sunset and make jokes to the depressed Zack in a somewhat gloating tone that make him even more depressed - "The mission failed, and the evaluation dropped sharply." "; He would stare at Zack, who was worried about his girlfriend's safety, with a playful expression, and then tell him that he agreed to go back; he would proactively say "I'll see you again soon" to the cute subordinate who was squirming and didn't know what to say, and then Looking at his relieved expression in the sunset and smiling at his retreating back.

This man actually cherishes his friends, so he will stand up and donate blood to him without thinking even after Genesis repeatedly provokes him; he will look at Genesis with a sword pointed at him. His face was full of speechlessness and disappointment; he would tolerate Genesis’s unreasonable troubles over and over again; he would turn around and even avoid Genesis with a bit of embarrassment after the “fight” with Genesis Si's eyes; he would listen to Angel's "revolutionary" education in a dark line, and then smile with relief when he recalled it; he would know that Angel and Genesis had left Shinra and joined forces with Holland Revealing an unconcealable loss; after discovering Hollander's Plan G, he would lock himself in the data room day and night to search for information about the life experiences of his two friends, and then still think about it when he left for Nibelheim. Going to meet Genesis.

This man was actually a little at a loss when it came to feelings, so although he had been caring about Genesis and Angel, when he finally saw Genesis, he just treated him coldly; so he After Angel and Genesis left, they actually pushed the task to a 2nd who should not have a closer relationship with Angel than him. As a world-famous hero, at this time, he just stayed away and quietly waited for Zack's enthusiasm and enthusiasm. Sunshine can make Angel change his mind ---

In the final analysis, he is just a child who is a bit arrogant and doesn't know how to express himself.

And

This person doesn’t even care much about the title and reputation of a hero.

So when Genesis asks "Who will play the hero? Me? Or you?" he blurts out "You do it" without thinking; he doesn't want to be hostile to his old friends. He repeatedly refused orders from Shinra, and then showed a smile when he mentioned "obliteration failure"; he would tell Zack that he would give up Shinra if necessary, just because of the one who gave him glory and the title of hero to dominate the world. A great company, but it didn't give him any options for friendship.

Sephiroth, unfortunately he only inherited his father's dedication, but not his father's madness and ruthlessness.

He is just a person who cares about feelings, is afraid of losing friends, and will carefully maintain friendships.

Because it is lacking, it is precious.

Because I have longed for it for a long time, I know how to cherish it.

But what is this person who does not look like a hero facing?

Once said: "Angel and Genesis, Sephiroth only has these two friends",

But, is this really the case?

"I have never stolen, because I and the landlord's son are good friends!"

"Angel and Genesis grew up together, not only My friend, we are besties."

"Ah, this is a photo! This is Angel...is that Genesis?"

Accompanied by Bai Banora. When the two young men who grew up disappeared from Shinra, they never thought that there was another one in Shinra who would be in pain because of their farewell without saying goodbye, and who was persistently looking for their friend, right?

"Three friends went to the battlefield. One was captured, one left, and the remaining one became a hero."

"What a shame, you are a monster."

p>

"Jenova was discovered from the ground 2000 years ago. It's a monster~"

The man in the red leather coat actually loves passionately from the beginning to the end. Sephiroth's reputation as a hero, and his pure Jenova cells, right?

To borrow a sentence from a friend: "Sephiroth has always been alone. He accidentally got two friends, and they were all hallucinations."

So, what about Zack?

That sunny, cheerful, fearless, tiger-headed boy;

The one who, apart from Angel and Genesis, is the only one who is likely to be the same as him in terms of character and identity. Someone Sephiroth befriends.

"Sephiroth! I haven't seen him for a hundred years!"

The teasing in the sunset made me almost think that Zack regarded Sephiroth as a friend, and the cute tweaks after that also made me think that Zack regarded Sephiroth as a friend. People like Sephiroth can't help but smile when they feel warm;

It's just a smile, but it's for such emotion---

"Ha, after all, he is still just a child Ah..."

Sure enough, even if someone like Zack wants to be friends with the hero in his heart---in the end, the hero can still only be a superior hero.

And Sephiroth himself is also trying to get used to loneliness, right?

So there was his hesitation at the entrance to the village of Nibelheim, his self-deprecating laugh when he mentioned that he had no parents, and the hero who usually showed perfection in every gesture --- -

Actually, Sephiroth is right. Even if others see his weakness, so what? It just makes everyone have a strange feeling of "Heroes can be like this".

In Nibelheim, Zack folded his arms at Sephiroth’s back, and what he was thinking about was not that Sephiroth had no hometown or family, but——" Sephiroth’s mother is called Jenova”? Just because he had heard this name from Holland.

Sure enough, even in the eyes of a person like Zack who cares about his friends, a hero doesn’t need to care about family ties and hometown, right?

Because he is already a hero!

Yes, he is already a hero. But why is there always a hint of helplessness and sadness in the hero's tone behind his firm expression?

"You haven't been to your hometown for a long time, right? How do you feel?"

"I don't have a hometown, so I don't understand it."

At that time Sephiroth, as the 1st team leader and someone everyone looks up to, is actually envious of Cloud, right?

I think if Sephiroth was given a chance to choose when he was still the single cell in Lucretia's belly, he might want to be with his relatives. Be a good friend and be a normal person?

Maybe some people say that human nature is always to get the best.

But some people say that the greatest pain in the world is not being unable to realize your dream, but when your dream finally comes true, you find that there is no one to share the joy.

Just like, if there were no girls who were hurt by their own powerlessness, how could the introverted boy make a heroic vow and then muster the courage to embark on a fateful journey?

No one has the obligation to completely abandon emotions and selflessly contribute to the world.

We are all just ordinary people.

As for Sephiroth, as a person who has nothing but a vain reputation, as a so-called "hero" who is not so detached,

The existence of that halo is very important to him. For him, does it really make sense?

"The order given to us this time is just to investigate the Mako Reactor. As for the matter of old friends, not a word was mentioned..."

"If necessary, maybe I will also give up on Shinra. But before, I still obeyed Shinra’s special forces.”

So, actually there is no such thing.

Because that thing can only dazzle other people’s eyes, but it can’t illuminate your own heart at all, right?

So Sephiroth's arrogance, Sephiroth's indifference, and Sephiroth's so-called "liking to be alone" are actually more or less deceiving himself, right?

Are you unable to help but look at your subordinates when they are joking and joking?

Will you also watch the soldiers board the train happily when they finally get family leave?

Do you occasionally dream about whether your mother is as gentle and beautiful as other people’s mothers?

"My mother's name is Jenova, and she died after giving birth to me. My father..."

"Hahahahaha...what's wrong with me, why are I talking about this..." ”

“Okay, let’s go.”

So, in fact, you can do it, right?

So, it must be really hard to deceive yourself for so long.

And at the moment when Genesis struck a blow to the softest place in his heart, and at the moment when he finally saw his mother after removing the steel partition, he finally understood that he was You can never truly deceive yourself.

Of course, you can say that Sephiroth is too weak.

However, please don’t forget that steel bars that support each other can build skyscrapers; but a heart that has no sustenance except mother, when even the last piece of holy land is shattered by the friend who has always cared about it. , who is qualified to expect that it can continue to beat selflessly for the happiness of strangers?

"You are no longer the Sephiroth I knew!!"

Does the sunny young man who raised his sword in anger really know Sephiroth?

What he knows is just a perfect statue with golden light, right?

A hero should be strong,

A hero should be just,

A hero should be perfect,

A hero should be able to do All the things that you can't do but dream of being able to do,

Because you are a hero;

Because that is your dream!

When a dream breaks down, the one who is hurt the most and let down the most is actually yourself.

So Zack who misses Angel from beginning to end, Zack who wants to redeem Genesis from beginning to end, Zack who is selfless and fearless who thinks about his friends from beginning to end, at this time, for Sephiroth waved his sword without hesitation----

"Sephiroth, I trust you so much!!"

"Cloud, give it to Sephiroth The final blow!"

"Well done...Cloud..."

...

That was a statue all along.

In this case, what is the value of a statue without light and a statue that has failed to live up to the dream of hope?

So, remove it.

"Zack, I heard from the headquarters that you died. I don't believe this news! Are you performing any special mission? Is it related to Sephiroth's death? Waiting for your news!

----- By Kansel"

So, remove it.

So, in fact, everyone who has ever looked up at the statue thinks so.

As for why the statue lost its light, no one will care, right?

After all, in a park without a statue, the flowers will still bloom fragrantly and beautifully, and people will still be happy and smiling.

After watching CC, I finally understood AC.

When I saw Sephiroth saying, "Can't you let me experience the joy of taking your most precious thing?", I don't know why I suddenly remembered the person who asked Cloud to go home seven years ago. What does it feel like Sephiroth.

Actually, he had always cared about it until this point, right? After all, no matter how wonderful Jenova's existence is, it is just a clan that will never have companions again.

Yes, if you really don’t mind it, why do you need to mention it in particular?

And the following "It's so pitiful, you don't understand anything"----

I think, the person who has been accompanied by many friends has only been slow to realize that he has been surrounded by friendship. Surrounded by the blond boy, in the memory fragments of that sunny young man in his mind, there was definitely no smile of relief when the powerful enemy in front of him talked about the past with his only friend. There was no such thing as the powerful enemy in front of him who had lost There is no look of decline in the friend, there is no self-mockery when the powerful enemy in front of me once mentioned that he has not seen his relatives since he was a child, and there is no such thing as the gentle "see you soon" that the powerful enemy in front of you once said in the dusk sunset... …

Actually, there is nothing at all.

Sephiroth doesn’t understand, so who understands Sephiroth?

A person who has been a mistake since he was a single cell, who has been taken advantage of since he was a child, who doesn't like loneliness but has nothing but his aura, finally met the family he dreamed of, and his emotions were his, and it ended He was confused in the past, and then found the value of life - to open up a new world for his own race.

That person was indeed wrong, very wrong.

But the fact is that it is really just that simple and direct.

"Sephiroth is crazy!"

So, in fact, from seven years ago until now, no one has ever understood it.

No one ever understands.

I have been thinking that maybe the most gratifying thing about Sephiroth who turned around and walked into the sea of ??fire is that he actually lost nothing except the false heroic halo.

Because---

How can you lose what you never had?
