Final Fantasy 7's BEST Sephiroth Design? 

No intro this week, but a very special guest appearance! Massive thanks to John Robertson for making a cameo appearance in this video (big fan). You can find more about him at his social's which are included at the end of the video. Look forward to hearing what you think to my fave Sephiroth Design and whether you're hyped or not for FF7 Remake!

Dissidia looks the most cleanest Remake looks the most realistic Advent Children looks the most original

Can't believe that advent children still looks so good.

There's something about the Advent Children design's eyes. I love how they are so dark

I think remake sephiroth looks great for a pre mad sephiroth, with more clean aspects while still being creepy. Advent children sephiroth is perfect for post mad sephiroth cause of the darker patches under the eyes and pale skin. I am shocked however you barely touched on his snake eyes. Like as iconic as his hair and sword

Long Hair Long Coat A LONG ass sword Think he's compensating for something?

Excluding Remake, Advent Children has the best design. Followed by the original and Amano drawings because I just love Amano style. So I gotta give a shout out to Dissidia even though I never played it for incorporating Amano's ideas into it.

A genetically altered swordsman with, silver hair and green cat eyes. He's a goddamn anime witcher, if an anime witcher could just casually isekai you into a world where the sun is exploding....multiple times. I like how his jacket in the remake has this sort of muscle tissue like pattern. Guy's such an absolute specimen that even his clothes are buff.

For me Advent Children design is much more intimidating

He has a wing pattern on his coat. the intricacies of the design are bearitful. And they added the dissidia belt and that's where he puts materia in. Remake design it's just beatiful.

I love the Advent Children design, it's the best look for him. Just wanted to take time to appreciate how great the movie was and it's highly underrated. They called it a Tetsuya Nomura vanity project but I enjoyed it. Yazoo, Loz and Kadaj were hilarious.

Sephiroth has an amazing design, I personally love what they did with him in Kingdom Hearts. How about reviewing King Dedede from the Kirby series? That guy has gone through some MAJOR design changes over the years~

Best Sephiroth design is Aerith because it's his gender swap look lol

13:06 I think he looks creepier in a different way.

AC took him to an extreme, and his voice actor made him that much more menacing. It takes the win for now, but I'm very much liking the redesign and excited for what's to come. That said, great video! First time watcher of your channel and looking forward to watching more!

The get one thing on point: his sinister appearance. Just the way he looks begs the question; will I survive? Sephiroth is insanely cool.

I always thought the inclusion of wings on Sephiroth and cloud in KH was a reference to Genesis and Angeal in Crisis Core

That intro of Sephiroth was EPIC in Advent Children. We were used to seeing psuedo Sephiroths so the impact of the real thing had to be lessened right? Wrong. That close up on his face as he raised his head was absolutely haunting. Like staring in the eyes of Cthulhu. For the ways they played fast and loose with some of the characters in advent children...its all forgiven for that final return of Sephiroth.

Crisis Core Sephiroth struck that balance between the human and the enhanced sides of him for me. Itadaki Sephiroth is super cute! Especially when he talks smack!

Imagine finding out Lucretia Crescent was of cetra descent. That would be a bombshell.

You didn't mention that in advent children sephirot desing show a wing like the one from Kingdom hearts

the first time i saw sephiroth was in kingdom heart 1 coming down from the sky in the colosseum the most badass i ever seen

My favorite look is the Advent Children one because it's the most realistic, like if a crazy portal to the FF7 world was opened and he came into our world, that's what he'd look like!

getting consistent, high quality content with superb narration is a blessing. thanks man

I agree with you in almost everything, except for the design of his face. It is very similar, there's no denying it, but his face in advent Children I think is the best. Not that the remake is bad, I like it But I missed the face he had on advent Children. In Dissidia I think his face is a bit dull.

It would be a nice nod to Crisis Core, if during the flashbacks to Pre-Nibelheim Sephiroth, he had his short bangs again. Sephiroth looks amazing in the remake, keeping the iconic design but adding nice little details like look at his shoulder pauldrons have these intricate little designs along the sides.

That's a tough question, I love Crisis Core and KH Sephiroth designs, I think those are the best designs for him ever.

They got rid of George Newburn so the remake has already lost points for me. You just can't beat that silky smooth and menacing tone.

Imagine, finally we could see topless Sephiroth in AYCH DEEEEEE!!!!!!

I’m 30 in April I really hope I’m alive when the final part releases in FFVII remake I feel doubtful and somewhat worried.

Smash Ultimate anyone?

Now he has a new appearance in the form of Smash Ultimate

I love the Dark Room's John Robertson! Was supper surprised to see him here! lol I think I follow him on here as well as Twitter

Another great vid. Keep it up mate.

I really wish they'd make Sephiroth playable in Smash. Make that game complete.

The original promo art is the best. I think Advent Children and the Remake look great as well, but the Original gives him these longer legs and wider legs and boots which automatically gives him an even taller feel. He's got broader shoulders and a more square face and hairline and a narrow waist. Makes for a very imposing silhouette. He also had a slimmer mouth and nose, with wider eyes and forehead giving quieter, more ambiguous but direct expressions. I don't have issue with the Dissidia design myself, these other ones are just better though.

Excellent work on the video. Sephiroth looks good in most of the games he appears in imo but the Remake version is looking mighty epic. His actions seem like it'll match his epic look too! Can't wait! ^^

the advent children, kingdom hearts, and remake versions of these characters are always the best

I prefer the FFVII cut scene and promotional art version with the mako teal colored eyes. Not having that loses an important part of the story. It adds mystery to the character because that color is unnatural. That, to me, is the definitive look. None of the others have that eye color.

14:21 Nomura likes belts, straps, and buckles; do you remember Lulu in FF10, her outfit consisted mostly nothing but belts and what seems to be an overcoat with fur-trim.

Gotta go with the dissidia design. I love the small extra things from Amano's artwork.

for me personally i love the original nomura design one because his hair looks slicked back,i hate that in all future versions his hair is parted in the middle.

It’s the OG Menu Profile pic for me. The closest thing I’ve seen was exhibited in a few cutscenes from remake. 1) When cloud first sees him next door and freaks out. That side profile. 2) Right after Barret talks to Cloud about ancients outside the sector and Sephiroth tells Cloud he failed again. Sephiroth AF 3) The meeting at the reaction “a touching reunion” moment. The reason I chose cutscenes is because I felt like he looked different in EVER cutscene (to me). And also, a part of his flair is his personality along with it

The best design is the one in the thumbnail. I love that artstyle.

Finally! Gonna sit down and enjoy this

His best design is ff7 advent children and crisis core

Is it weird that i got introduced to ff7's world through the movie? Its like the first time i watched it i fell in love with it immediately and i feel like I've known ff7 ever since. This makes me want to watch advent children again.

My personal favorite was the Crisis Core outfit.

Ideal viewing for the first day of UK lockdown. Hope things are going well on your end dude. While I love the Kingdom Hearts Cloud, with Vincent cape and claw I don't really like the Sephiorth one with its Batman cape like thing going with the cape. I don't mind its black wing though, keep that. Also I like the extra added buckles on his coat in his Advent Children redesign. They're just small and subtle enough that adds that extra layer of cool, rather than the over designed Batman thing of KH. Plus it also sports the lone black wing (at one point) to boot! Also just as the video started and you were talking about the Masamune, I thought probably the only other weapon to rival it, though its a gun, is Joker's revolver from the Batman 89 movie.

0:20 I straight up thought this was some hidden kingdom hearts cg cutscene

They took a very faithful approach to the characters look in the remake.

Thanks for the overview! I really thought Sephiroth looks awesome in FFVII Advent Children, can’t believe that movie came out 15 years ago. Can’t wait to see him in REMAKE. And yeah.. he probably looks the best in the upcoming game.

crisis core model and advent children are my favorite. Remake looks weird in most shots

Personally I'm going with the OG 7 and advent look, not too much is going with the design. Giving him a more grimacing but regal threatening persona. The Dissidia gives him a more decorative look as "look i can be hip too!" so can't take too seriously. And KH style; 🤨 i get color scheme, but i feel like its a lil too much. Almost if to say "if y'all can look dramatic than so can I." like the saying... "Sometimes less is better." and that's the case with this look.

He Looked slick and cool in kh1 during that time.

i love how fabulous kh design is. my absolute favorite. dissidia comes in second because of how iconic it is and since i love amano's sephiroth

I love all sephiroth design outfits and I support it my favorite is kh one of my favorite character

I was wondering why you didnt do the SmashBros version of him like you did with Cloud then checked the date this video was released

One thing I noticed is Kingdom Hearts 1 switches the side his wing is on. In every other case where he has a wing it’s on his right side, and this seems to be a theme since both Genesis and Angeal have their wings on their off-hand side as well. I suppose it makes sense because if his sword arm had transmuted into a wing how would he stab people? I’ve got a special fondness for KH Sephiroth since that was my first encounter with the character. I wandered into the bonus battle, knew nothing about the character as I’d never played the PS games but all I knew was he was hot and had bitchin’ music, it was love at first fight. However I think I like the original’s eyes best, they’re so bright. And the remake’s costume is best, I like the extra details.

Probably the Longest sword in the world have you seen Guts sword? :3

IMHO the best Sephiroth design is an unofficial one, and not very well known except among the most diehard of fans, that of course being the pencil lineart drawing I did of him in my 6th grade history book in 2004 in the asian history section. The incorrect proportions and poorly imitated manga style really add an unconventional flair to his typical Nomura style.

I really like the one with the beads from dissidia

I'm surprised the one wing was excusive to Kingdom Hearts before smash.

For me, clearly Advent Children Design.

John Robertson would play a great Cinder from Kingkiller Chronicles

I named my dog Sephi after this villain. That Nibelheim scene burned him into my 12 year old consciousness. And the way the game slowly introduced him made him the most terrifying villain I ever battled. Straight up didn’t breathe throughout the entire fight

I'll have to go with the Kingdom Hearts 1 design for him, the second game added the extra feathers by his shins to make him resemble the Safer Sephiroth final form but the first game just had him with one wing which was just perfect and iconic. Both versions make him look less like a man and more like some sort of fallen half monster angel which in my opinion would be a great look for the post Nebelheim Fallen Crater Sephiroth had it been in the original FF7.

Advent Children has that honor

I dont care what is the best design i love him in all his designs after all he is sephiroth we all fall in love with him befor they make him more realistic so the design will make little different to a true sephirothmaniac and the most beautiful thing about ff7 remake is that they show us varied super hot realistic expression in his face

In the very beginning,the devs have been discussing a lot about Sephiroth...he,alongside with Vincent Valentine,was intended to be a female charachter...Later,they wanted him to be Aerith first love..then,his brother...In any case they wanted a sort of relationship of some kind between these two charachters...

....You missed Little Big Planet (1 or 2 I can't remember? >

I’ll be honest, I spent 23 years waiting to see these characters brought to life in a way. Can’t say I’m a big fan of his or any other character design but then they all look amazing too, guess it wasn’t what I pictured.

10:37 I f*cking squealed!

Without a doubt Advent Children is the best design. I'm in awe just by looking at it.

Lmao thoes opening words

I grew up with the Dissidia design so I'm slightly biased towards it, but his eye colour is seems blue for some reason, so that loses points. In Crisis Core his short bangs make him look so cute so I do like that one too.. But I'd have to say the remake is my favourite because that's my husband & he's actually being remade into today's amazing graphics, even though he might not show up a lot.. Advent Children is my 2nd fav, because he just looks so menacing there 😣💕

Advent children is my fave

Now he's in Smash Ultimate as well, and honestly I think that's a pretty good depiction of him. For me the winner is still the original ff7, the more angular look afforded by the artstyle is the most menacing I think he has been. Then advent children - I like the dark eyes and how fluid the long hair looks during the fight, and also his sword just looks so long. Then Remake. I'm not so keen on the rounding out of his face, and I would prefer that his bangs remained more pronounced and angular. I think Remake is fantastic for basically everybody else's appearance, eg cloud, tifa, yuffie, Barret all look OUTSTANDING, but the Sephiroth isn't quiiiite right for me.

Preferably, I love AC Sephiroth, however Remake Sephiroth is also nice since he looks like Kadaj.

Why do Xemnas and Ansem Seeker of Darkness look a lot alike Sephiroth?

FF 7 Before Crisis is basically The World Ends With You style but with realistic Proportions

I rather the older versions. In the new one, the rounded features makes him look more punkish and young rather than mature and brooding.

KH2 Sephiroth is my favourite, While completely at the same time being so over the top and unnecessary. for Simplistic design, the FF7R has done a wonderful job with its Sephiroth Design.

Am I the only one who his kinda bothered how they changed his hair after FF7 and Kingdom Hearts, they got rid of that one longer bang on his left side? And it looks like the remake sorta gave it back to him, as in some shots it looks like it's a tad bit bigger than the other

I look forward to a Tifa video. My favorite look for her is Advent Children, followed by Remake.

Advent children sephiroth and remake sephiroth are the same sephiroth in canon so since you love remake sephiroth you also love advent children

Forgot to point out that Remake Sephiroth carries over his elaborate belt from Dissidia.

I absolutely love his remake design.

I'm not saying it's the best design, but something about the default Dissidia NT renders that is just so elegant and ethereal. It is more "realistic but anime" style, so smooth and often lit with blues and purples in the scenes. The features are very light and then his thick black eye-lashes just make his eyes and condescending gaze really pop. Every image of him from Dissidia just says "I am Sephiroth, I know exactly what I am doing and I am better than anything you could possibly hope to be." It makes him seem more otherworldly and god-like and makes me think of him like the greek Adonis or Apollo. But I guess they are in a space between worlds so... why not?

I forgot to mention that you didn't even mention Opera Omnia, it's the Dissidia version but chibi-like. so cute..

BTW, is 'winner winner, chicken dinner' a reference of RuPaul's drag race? jk, did my research, but I couldn't help being reminded about this TV reality show

I hope we’ll all still be alive when the final part is released 😅 Either SQEX will take a lifetime or hopefully we survive the pandemic

got to say some of the artwork for sephiroth make some look like Alucard from Castlevania

My favorite design is the KH 2 version

TIFA DESIGN VIDEO COMING SOON!?!!😲 HYYYYYYYYYPE!!!!!!

Crisis Core style is the best in my view

How about sora's designs from kingdom hearts please

Advent children has the most sinister psychotic look. Remake has the best overall realistic look and the kingdom hearts look makes him look much more dark and mysterious building upon what he already had and i loved it in the games. Man its hard to decide but those are the top 3

No mention of Crisis Core?

Any design of Sephiroth is best for me. Okay, yes his design for the Remake is the most crisp design. I do personally like how he looks in Dissidia, but his eyes are just so flippin gorgeous in this remake.
