This piece is much like (Zeromus) Last Battle in FF4 (the melody) and Gilgamesh' theme in FF5 (the accompany). I'll throw you a bonus tip: compare "Aeris' theme" in FF7 to "Aria di mezzo carattere" in FF6; the beginning is identical. Uematsu has a clear tendency to refining and reusing his works.
sounds like a 80's work out song, I hated this game when i first played it an still do to this day the omni slash was hot an that was the only good out of the game an to me the worst ff ever, but thats just my opinion which really don't matter
To make him a good guy would've been wrong I think, yes he was way fuking cool and for the few seconds you get to stand alongside him and battle is legendary. But like a good film it's great top watch and play as this man who once fought for the same team you were on, descends onto a path of darkness. In his own mind Sephiroth is the good guy and feels part of something better than humanity. Love all that shit with Genova. The reunion and all the flashback stuff. I need to play this game again
Firstly let me say what an excellent bad dude I thought Sephiroth is and think he was one of the first bad guys with such detail and back story. Every boss in the ff games since tend to be a bit feminine looking. Anyway people say he's not got enough depth and he wasn't a good bad guy. He has a great backstory which creates a flawed character in him. You see and hear the story of his past and who, what he is and you understand and feel for him but it's too late as he crosses the line into madnes
man i want to play this game so bad. I got a psp and played crisis core, watched advent children, and beat DofC but i still haven't played the ACTUAL FFVII. im ashamed -_-
All Sephiroth did was wave his hands around, laugh and talk about blowing up the planet. If you think about it, he was no more impressive than Max Zorin from A View To A Kill.
Eh. I say Hojo was more of the main villain than anyone, given that he not only pretty much started everything, he lasted enough of the game to be an influence on plot events as they happened.
Sephiroth has to be one of the best developed antagonists in video game history. And before you go saying things like "Kefka was waaaay better." Just think about it and stop trying to be against FF7 because it was so popular. You know that when you played you cared about Sephiroth and what was going on in his head and why he was so lost and insane. Admit it! You did...
@piromaniac9999 You are so right about him not having any character development. However, that's mostly because you can't develop a character like Sephiroth. What, is he supposed to become even more crazy? Is he supposed to reveal that he's a huge softy underneath? If you develop him, you take away from his badass-ness. I personally don't like him as a villian, either. But I'm just saying, you couldn't develop him much without badass decay.
There is something you could have done:instead of making him the main villain,make him the side villain and die dramatically in the middle and make you feel sorry and go after hojo and have cloud avenge sephiroth
Maybe make cloud's respect for sephiroth that he's actually outraged and angry by hojo's actions.
Or perhaps:make sephiroth join your team and learn magic and fight against jenova?
I thought he would make a better hero than villain as i could empathise with him.
@piromaniac9999 Excellent points. I think those would have been more interesting directions as well. But we got what we got. And, hey, he made Square a ton of money and he gives the fangirls something nice to look at, so I guess not taking creative chances pays off for some people.

The little part from 1:19 to 1:24 and its repeats remind me of Seymour's last battle theme in FFX.

@PenguinsRuleThaWorld actually,kefka kuja and even x death are better villains.
Seymour was also better.
What makes them better? they had better development.

@Gexilla yes thank you for saying that.

@Gexilla In truth,sephiroth is motivated to please his mommy making him a lacking villain.
Yes that is where the term:mama's boy came out.
He also had little build up and went from a self confident smug soldier to:cliché crazy soldier on the run to kill.
He also has as about as many lines as zeromus.
Think about it,he hardly ever speaks and very few times does he act,he has next to no personality development.
