Change them and that's kind of the point. Sephiroth is a worse villain on pretty much every level than Shinra were and their story gets worse when he shows up.
It's also amusing that you think he's the first villain in the series with depth since he has almost none. Certainly no more that people like Golbez or Kefka. He's a super soldier who gets pissed when he finds out he was a lab rat and jumps straight to world ending genocide. It's all fairly absurd. And you spend most of the game dealing with that clone crap that mostly showed Square doesn't know what a clone is. And don't even get me started on Cloud's fractured personality because that's honestly a better mystery than the reveal and pays off in being one of the worse parts of the entire game in the end.
