The moment Sephiroth became a Hero - Final Fantasy 7 Ever Crisis 

2:21 seeing the "cloud" becoming a white wing in that shot is just such an awesome image composition.

This ending for episode 1 of first soldier, reminds me of what aerith said to sephiroth in the final fight in rebirth, "how can you want this, sephiroth?".... "how can you want an eternal loneliness?"

THAT EDGE OF CREATION...I KNEW IT. HE DOES HAVE HIS MEMORIES. THAT IS ORE SEPHIROTH!!

I figured Rosen’s story could only end with Sephiroth killing him, I’m glad Sephiroth tried to save him. Meanwhile FF7R Sephiroth seems to be regaining these memories while at the Edge of Creation.

Sephiroth getting the same Jenova headaches as Cloud, poor dude. I’m so mad he’s evil wtf. He was so nice 😭

0:44 Interesting that even Adult Sephiroth falls onto his knee, exhausted from fighting off all of these monsters.

2:24 oh wow! Look at this! Cloud is his second wing!😊 🙂... 😐... 😳WAIT A DAMN MINUTE-

Sephiroth is such a heart-breaking character. He was really trying his best to be good. It was all for nothing.

3:26 Everytime it comes to mind, how young Sephiroth looks exactly like a no-hairgel version of Cloud.

I see why Sephiroth didn't want to take the picture in Nibelheim.

The best characters are often the most tragic

Still crying .come on SE give this man a justice will ya

Now I comprehend what the Producer said few months ago: Sephiroth loves Cloud most. Cloud is the one he wants to save, and Sephiroth is thinking a method in the Edge Of Creation. ~thank you for uploading the video❤

I'm gonna frickin CRY. Seph was so... good. Begging Rosen like that just.. hurts. 🥺

THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT! THAT'S WHY HE'S THE GOAT, THE GOAT!!!

SEPHIROTH AT EDGE OF CREATION?! :o REFLECTING?

Thank you for uploading this lovely video. It touches me to tears and still crying, what a moment and to live with it for the rest of his life. I hope Square Enix will give Sephiroth a chance to finally live to be the true hero was, is, and will be. The friendship between him and Glenn are so sweet, pure true friendship despite differences.

Something interesting to note at 1:40 is Sephiroth's posture. While it still resembles his signature stance, it's actually identical to a pose Cloud strikes in Dissidia NT in one of his intros

I really hoped that Rosen would survive, but it makes sense that Rosen would have wanted to die after knowing the truth. It's such a sad story, this had to affect Sephiroth in such a profound way... poor Refu

This is what Crisis Core should have been about, tbh.

I predict we are going to see young Sephiroth in the final game

So this basically confirms that out of all the Sephiroths in the Remake and Rebirth, the EoC Sephiroth or Ore Sephiroth is confirmed to have his memories prior to his sanity intact. I have a running theory in my head that Remake Aerith and Ore Sephiroth are actually working together in the Remake because it was Aerith’s portal which took Cloud and Company to the EoC. Jenova Sephiroth is the one messing around while Ore Sephiroth is just confined in EoC and can’t move anywhere else. Jenova is the true villain, that’s why it was built up in the Temple of the Ancients. It was Jenova who caused all of the wars in the past between humans and Cetra. Humans killed Cetra because Jenova controlled them. The conversation in the Temple were Aerith’s voice morphed into that of the Cetra speaking to Jenova is symbolic for me. It is trying to make its way into the Lifestream to crrupt the Planet by using Sephiroth, the most powerful man, as its vessel. I think that’s how they are building this story now. The 7 seconds still remain a mystery but I am guessing that it’s going to be a decision for Cloud which involves Sephiroth.

I am curious what could this mean since now we know Sephiroth is for some reason remembering events of Ever Crisis Season 1 during events of FF7 Remake events. What is going on in his head right at that moment and what thoughts is emerging as he remembers the moment when he began defining himself as a person due to events of First Soldier thanks to Glenn, Matt, and Lucia's influence and Rosen's final words to him.

Sephiroth is thinking about this at the Edge of Creation because he just proposed Cloud to be the one beside him on his mission the way he did in Remake. He doesn't want for Cloud to disappear like all the people in the Lifestream ("nor I'll have you end") because what he's scared of the most is to lose himself and his identity (because when you go back to the Lifestream you fade and lose the identity or memories from your previous life). Cloud is the only person who can possibly share Sephiroth's fate as he's part of him and we know that as long as Cloud exists, Sephiroth will also always exist in him. Cloud is ironically the only one who can understand what Sephiroth went through and who can be beside him as long as Sephiroth exists, because everyone always saw him as a hero and no one could see his suffering through all the experiments. At the Edge of Creation he asked Cloud to join him because Sephiroth thinks that if he has to go down that path of dispair, he wants Cloud to go down with him. It's so crazy how Sephiroth keeps telling Cloud everywhere, especially in Advent Children, that he wants to give him dispair and wants to make him lose those whom he cherishes, but he's basically just projecting on him all of his own loneliness and despair instead. Even in Rebirth he enjoys to see Cloud suffer and to isolate him from the others, he keeps telling Cloud to use his hatred as a fuel the way Sephiroth did when he burned Nibelheim down... We can say Sephiroth sees himself in Cloud, but instead of going towards the dark path, Cloud could actually accept himself for who he was and could turn his hatred, insecurity and regrets, into strength drawn from the will to protect the planet and the people he loves instead. The reason why Cloud will always win against Sephiroth is because Sephiroth fuels his motivations with hatred, while Cloud finds his strength in love and in what/who he is determined to protect.

A big Japanese studio should make an anime center around Sephiroth's journey starting with when he was a child, to being a soldier, until the end. I am certain it will be a huge hit.

So this is the guilt that's been eating him up. The spark of him being the hero has died out eventually.

Ok guys hear me out, after watching this and the EoC scene here's a theory I have in mind. According to OTWAS Case of the LIfestream Black, "...the man had already surrendered his inconsequential memories to the planet. Memories from when he was a boy, of his few friends, of the battles when he was still unaware, of his life in bygone days- all these became a part of the inundation, encased around Meteor, and finally receded." This inconsequential memories became Ore Sephiroth, hence why this Sephiroth is reminiscing about his past in the EoC, basically he is stuck there. Also, in the same novella, Jenovaroth made Cloud his core so he could basically dupe the LIfestream System, it says in Lifestream Black 1, "The man knew that if one could hold onto some core of their spirit, then one could remain a separate entity, independent from the planet’s system. Cloud. The man decided to make Cloud that core." Ore Sephiroth holds onto Cloud, a man with his S cells so he won't erode yet, Jenovaroth holds onto Cloud's hatred of Sephiroth so he won't erode. Similar to in the real world, where people say, you have to let go of deceased loved on so they can finally pass on? So in here, since Cloud is so full of spite against Sephiroth, Jenovaroth took advantage of that so he won't disappear, and because of the S cells, Jenovaroth can manipulate Cloud and his mind. Now, Ore Sephiroth also has a connection with Cloud through the S cells. Aerith fine tuned a portal which Jenovaroth created at the end of remake so Cloud and party can reach where the Arbiter of Fate is. Destroying it means the Natural order was destroyed, meaning the Point A to Point B aka Destiny is no longer in control. This open a whole lot of possibilities. Doing so, this allowed Remake Aerith to save Biggs. If you watched that part in the Rebirth when Biggs was telling how he got saved, white whispers was there - White Whispers = Aerith. So why Biggs? Biggs was a friend of Aerith according to the novel Traces of Two Pasts. Also, this allowed Ore Sephiroth to save Zack when he was getting killed, if you replay that Part where Zack was telling the story of how he survived that killing bullet. I'm pretty sure the whispers who saved him were Black whispers = Ore Sephiroth. Also Remake Aerith knows Jenovaroth will come after her, what with her changing things and creating branching timelines, so she's jumping from one timeline to another until Jenovaroth found her in the Church, but we're not sure if she really died there though since the scene was cut off. But I'm guessing she was able to jump to another timeline with the help of Ore Sephiroth. I'll explain how. So remember the Forgotten Capital scene? Where Cloud block Masamune and disarmed Sephiroth? Not sure if you noticed but that's the same block and disarm move showed by Ore Sephiroth during their battle at EoC. Sephiroth blocked Cloud and threw his weapon and what did he say? "7 seconds till the end, time enough for you, perhaps?" So if you now go back to the Forgotten Capital scene in Rebirth, Cloud was being controlled by Jenovaroth, but you will see a Lifestream helped Cloud broke free of the control. I'm guessing that Lifestream is Ore Sephiroth, enacting his moveset so Cloud could save Aerith because Ore Sephiroth needs Aerith alive for a reason. Doing this block, created another timeline where another Aerith became alive. I'm thinking Remake Aerith in the Church about to be killed by Jenovaroth switched places with the Rebirth Forgotten Capital Aerith. Now, during the final battle at Rebirth with Cloud and Aerith vs. Sephiroth, Aerith said "How can you want this Sephiroth? How can you want an eternity of loneliness?" Sephiroth replied, "Begone, your part is played." I think this Sephiroth is Ore, the one stuck in EoC, in between worlds. He said this to Aerith because he only needs her alive, at least 1 Aerith alive is enough, it doesn't matter who, to mee both Cloud and Aerith are just a means to Ore Sephiroth's end. He is choosing whose life he wants to save, I am guessing since he can see the future, it's either Genesis, Glenn, Lucia and Matt are the ones he would like to save. And if he wants to save them, for some reason he would need Aerith alive. I am going to bet that the First Soldier confrontation between Rosen and Sephiroth where Sephiroth was asked to choose, will parallel Sephiroth and Cloud in the end of FFVII where Cloud will be asked to choose. And unlike Sephiroth, Cloud will choose compassion, once Cloud lets his hatred go, Sephiroth's soul will be freed and his soul will be allowed to join the LIfestream. perhaps, Aerith can take him to the Lifestream similar to how she called Kadaj in the ending of AC.

Holy shit. The fact that it is Dimension hopping Seph-Dog reminiscing is chilling. What does he really want????

I GRIEVE WITH YOU SEPHY 😭😭😭

3:45 I loved the way they animated Sephiroth's eyes/face I want to hug him so much இ௰இ

Ive seen a lot of complaints about humanizing Sephiroth, and WHilst I agree its strange seeing him in Crisis Core essentially just doing his day job, I think here it works better as we directly see the type of "Hero" cloud looked up to and get a better impression of what persona created their pre nibelheim relationship. IE This feeds a lot more into the FF7 main plot (granted Crisis COre was never his story it was Zacks, I dont think it matters how strangely he fit, or didnt fit rather, into that story)

First Soldier chapter 2 is gonna hit hard as fuck

that was deeply upsetting :(( he's just a baby !!

I just want a DMC style Sephiroth solo game Square Enix, is that too much to ask for?

So he has to die the same way he took out Rosen? Is that why he’s all like “not yet” to Cloud? 😭

Wait... are they trying to set up a redemption arc for him in Remake part 3? Because if yes, I am down as hell for it.😮

absolutely crazy man i love them so much. every character has so much depth it’s truly insane.

It's always funny how in Final Fantasy and other media all different kinds monsters just team up together with no problems whatsoever to attack a character/party, regardless of their species and level of sentience(if they have any at all). But I guess here it could be explained that these are trained Wutai monsters(though I doubt it).

The fact they're integrating the subsequent spin-offs into 7R's canon is just so damn cool. It really isn't a "redo" like a time loop as much as it is a sequel. Can't wait to play the whole series.

Serious question. If the Sephiroth in the Edge Of Creation has his humanity intact and is a good guy why did he kill Aerith in the Beagle timeline? Could it be that he wanted Cloud to see the creation of a timeline where Aerith survived in order for him to realise the nature of the planets damage he is trying to fix? What if he wants to merge all realities back together in order to save the planet somehow from destruction due to said fracture?

I wonder, if Seph at the edge of the creation has these memories while he's waiting Cloud to appear, or after his chat with him...🤔

Maybe there is a way to save Sephiroth.

Edge of creation

I keep saying we need more Sephiroth and Ever Crisis is feeding us so well, I'm really starting to feel sorry for Sephiroth

5:00 FF7 remake Sephiroth

that heroic sephiroth theme really caught me off guard but imma need it asap. i really like details like this

Yup, Sephiroth was the "War Hero" can be heroic idol🤩😎 but some day some time he could be the "Destruction Villain" such waste when he lose he's mind and later burn with kill them for nothing😢😔

Anyone else notice he looked a little nervous/apprehensive/shy when he went to greet his comrades? 😭

Weird the only person who reached the edge of creation is the guy who stabbed him in the back and threw him into radioactive waters.

Wondering more stories with Angeal, Genesis and trio like Sephiroth. Even Midgar's take down to during missed story number 7 Final fantasy part 2 and 3.

What is the name of the music that plays in the beginning?

Why are NONE of these details in the remake games?

No one wants to highlight how Sephiroth gains plot armor when fighting Behemoth later? Haha

thank godness i can rewatch someone cutscene, i got distracted and missed few details because of live letter in xiv about dawntrail showcase of viper and pictomancer. Live ended few minutes ago

Sephiroth is Cloud's Itachi. Damn Sephiroth I feel so bad for you :(

It will be nice if Square make this game or game thay flesh out Sephiroth for Ps5 or upcoming ps5 pro. Showcase Sephiroth's glory in highest dense pixel possible. Sephiroth character is more interesting than Zack and Cloud

Wait is the last scene , the edge of creation ?

💔🙁☹️😟😢It's like Shadow the hedgehog,L and Itachi ALL OVER AGAIN FOR ME!😭,NOT SEPHIROTH YOU TOO?!😭💔

I hope he find out who his real mother is.

damn... deku's voice is cool here

This changes everything…

If this game is available offline, i would gladly play it...

I still wish Sephiroth knocked out Rosen and took him with them, instead of granting his wish. It might've saved him too from turning to dark side.

Yo. Sephiroth _also_ has Jenova-style flashbacks? Also, Edge of Creation Sephiroth. Batshit theories commence.

i guess not everyone will accept the gifts they are given . no one in their right minds would have deemed sephiroth a monster . he appeared human , saved lives , can alter history if they want . instead he chose to betray all of them to cry mother all the time lmao . mama's boy sephi was cooler as a hero , not as the psychopath he became

Baby :(

You're actually taking this game seriously

Yeah they really never gonna make him playable

Edge of creation???????!!

OMG🔥🔥

Does this mean his story is concluded???

Square made a mainline game with 120+ hours of gameplay and stuff which about 40 hours of it, is story related. Somehow the rest of this 120+ hours of game, doesn't include a fraction of these important story related things and instead they made them into a fucking mobile game!

That why Sephiroth possesses by genesis

why would they put all these lore in a mobile game man....

What even is this game?

Maybe Sephiroth just like Hitler you can blame it whatever you want, but that's a war
