An In-Depth Look At Sephiroth 

good work again and stay safe

Hey, I love your channel, you've really helped me through some rough times, thank you. My best friend is also *A HUGE* FFVII fan, and wants me to ask you for him if you would like a full size "prop/collectible" of the Buster Sword. He also says he'll make whatever version you prefer, OG, OCC, or Remake. And if you call now, h------ ...lol no seriously though. He's very ill, and tells me his only price is time, and I'll help him with shipping. .........................you do live in either Americana or Canadia?

If you're familiar with The Spirits Within, you'd know where the omega weapon/chaos story came from and what it's leading to with Jenova/Minerva.

😊

Wow fun video... You make some of my FAVORITE stuff on the whole Internet, death. Hey have you ever thought about the food in FF7? Where do they actually raise the beef for the Korean BBQ? Is it actually Chocobo meat?? It feels like the Mako cities are very fallout canned junk and dirty water

Must've been a fan of Powerpuff Girls as a kid.

SOLDIER candidates get infused with Mako, but Sephy got that dose of CHEMICAL-X.

Isnt Jenova the one who manipualted the Cetra?

Nailed it

@@toasterglock8796 I can't remember where it is, but it is said that Jenova appeared to the Cetra as their fallen loved ones before corrupting them.

I've been sayin this for years! Finally seeing someone else thinking the same. Jenova is def pulling strings as early as the Nibelheim Reactor incident

I've been saying this same thing for a long time too, and it places Jenova back as the main driving antagonist instead of a simple Macguffin. The way I've been looking at it is, as long as you can retain a strong enough aspect of what you believe makes you, *yourself* , she can't claim you for her control and her influence is slim at best. Cloud with his repaired psyche and context for events at the end of the game, Genesis with his obsession for Loveless, Zack due to being a generally good and 'go with the flow' dude, and Lucretia with her guilt and trauma, are all examples of people that retained themselves. Sephiroth, Angeal, Hojo, Cloud *before* he and Tifa pieced his psyche together, and I guess by extension the Genesis copies, were all people who broke mentally or weren't strong enough to retain their sense of self due to some sort of psychosis. For those that fail to retain their identity, her influence is stronger and you run a higher risk of mutation.

except the omega weapon was created after Jenova was sealed away

​@@tavastian3288Pretty sure he meant another planet's Omega.

Imagine having a great and successful life and throwing it away because you found out your origins were fucked up.

@@billythenarwhal1579 Which when you put it that way makes little sense and talk about over reaction, for a normal thinking human. But I am sure he was always a misanthropic megalomaniac with a god complex and learning of his past and figuring out how to wipe out humanity was just the excuse he needed to go over the edge. He started acting on his deepest thoughts instead of bottling them in.

@MaaZeus yeah but nothing about his character before that really lends to that tho.

@@billythenarwhal1579 Well, I never played the prequel and off shoot games so I only have the information mentioned in this video about those. But if he has a severe case of misanthropy it doesn't necessarily mean he does not care about individuals, people he consider his friends or family, but he just has a deep hatred for humanity as a group/species and thinks world would be better off without them. That said I still find his 180 from super soldier with dark thoughts to a mass murderer a bit of a stretch unless explained with other personality disorders and delusions on top of that.

@MaaZeus damn you missing out, imo FF7 does side stories wayyy better than main stories, for me Intermission and Crisis Core are way better than OG and remake.

Maybe we can oneday get far enough into the FFX timeline for Jenova to appear as the Omega Weapon in that world.

I hope it's not explained too much. The mystery makes it more interesting as we can fill in the blanks. I've always thought jenova was essentially the thing from the John carpenter movie.

Like Lavos from Chrono Trigger?

@@brianmckee2267 I don't get this. Can't you just not read extended universe content so you can have your mystery, but still let the rest of us have canonical answers? Why do you want to deprive us so you can deliberately remain ignorant?

@@neetpride5919 it's more engaging to not explain everything. See the Alien franchise for that.

Was said by someone else ages ago and that jenova was supposed to come from ffx because ff7 and ffx are linked

​@@markmcdonald5681now that's an interesting theory. The Omega of FFX took all the memories with it to another world which gave rise to the Shinra we know.

Geez auto correct never makes you look smart…

I feel ya

Yessss

That's very well made and 50min is a good minimum for that charactere.

Using the photo is a cool idea, sad I didn't think of that!

Sephiroth always was in control

I second those!

What about Jenoroth!

Sephirova. Actually scratch that, that makes him sound like a female tennis player 😜

Sephiva xd

in the ultimania for ff7 its stated that sepiroth's will took control of jenova and jenova is simple minded - an animal that just exists to destroy and consume

Master Chief >>>>

Since Seph got spliced with Jenova in vitro, it's moot to try and separate them. I'd say, a more interesting question would be: does Sephiroth's human sympathy, prior to his miscarried epiphany at Nibelheim, show that he could have possibly sublimated Jenova's ravenous nature, had he not been lifelong deceived and exploited by Shinra?

It's made very clear that Sephiroth is behind everything. He was manipulating the robed figures with his will, and took control of them, and Jenova herself.

Well a lot of the team that worked on Chrono Trigger went on to work on Final Fantasy VII. Not Toriyama obviously otherwise Sephiroth would have been even more of a Psaro or Magus clone than he was to begin with. So it makes sense that a few of the things that show up in Chrono Trigger come back in FFVII: Jenova is Lavos The Cetra are the Enlightened Ones, a group that’s abnormally skilled with magic, while the regular humans are the earthbound. Cloud stole Crono’s hair. Sephiroth stole Magus’s.

My head-canon is similar, just that Jenova is more like a parasitic version to spread life while Omega Weapon is more like an escape pod. I imagine she isn't an entire planet's lifestream, but that her original planet created several "siblings" to Jenova meant to spread and hijack other already existing lifeforms/lifestream on other planets.

He's a purple dude that sells chocobo stuff. Thanks for watching this in-depth look I''ll see you in the next one.

@@4-8Productions i was also gonna say chocobo sage at first but then i realized square never gave us much to work with.

Kratos is such a good choice 👍

I'd put Bugenhagen over him but I think it's a good choice too (sans us lacking info)

1. Love to see more info on Genova

2. An in-depth look on some of the famous summons. I never knew about how KOTR added hp to bosses……how cool is that! The devs knew it might be a little imba, so instead of scaling it down; the scaled up the bosses.

3. I’d love to see an in-depth review on you! Getting meta here

1) He old. 2) She sing. 3) She fast.

@@4-8Productions I mean I can't argue with that

Ohh. Samus? That's a good one. Metroid actually has a LOT of story outside the games.

1) Bugenhagen - I just think he'd be interesting 2) Seymour - his backstory is pretty well buried in optional dialogue 3) I don't really have an outside suggestion

good picks
