Bleeding heck. If Sephiroth really didn't have legs, I think they would have made it much more obvious. And I really don't see any torn flesh. I just see everything becoming obscured as we get near the lower areas of his body. And as for a natural state, clothing isn't a natural thing we are born with or anything. I won't say anymore on this, I just can't see how this is a big deal. It just seems to be reading into an FMV a bit too much.
Could you elaborate, please? How could it be made more obvious than to show that they're not there? o.OQuote:

I meant the natural state of having legs.Quote:

For that matter, the two boss forms of Sephiroth's body fought at the end of the game didn't have legs, either. There's more to suggest this than just the FMV.Quote:

And with all the crystal, hair, and various things making the visual unclear, I just think it's nothing that was made amazingly obvious. As said here, some people noticed this right off the bat, while others never have before. So, to me, since it wasn't something most people would catch on to, it wasn't a terribly important 'issue' for the player to notice. (This is assuming he doesn't have legs in the FMV)Quote:

My doof again. This has just been analyzed so intently that I thought there was some Huge, Big Story Revalation Theory that went along with this. Apologies.Quote:

All I can say to this is about the same thing I said in the first paragraph of this post. To me, it simply wasn't something that was terribly obvious, and it is only one small part of the game. I just figured that if it really is an important part of the game, or something one should notice, it would have been made more obvious than during just that one part. I just don't see the sense behind Sephiroth suddenly missing a large part of his body, or why he would be. Something that significant would of been brought to attention in a more alarming fashion, don't you think? (I don't consider the FMV alarming, because I think it's debatable from what you see. Not to mention, some people don't even notice it, like myself. Maybe Square was just taking artistic license when obscuring Sephiroith's nether regions, which is why it basically looks like they are not there at all. *shrugs*)Quote:

I just can't grasp the logic behind it without getting too crazy with the theories. Just the way I think and see things I suppose. I'm really not trying to counter anyone's theories or arguments, as I don't want to convert anyone to my view point, so I'll elaborate, but I'd rather not debate this. If all of your excellent arguments and debates can't convince me otherwise, I doubt anything else here will. :p
hahaha... finally, someone asked about this!! I always though sephiroth had really long pubic hair or something ><;;...
:eyebrow: ...I really wish I hadn't just read that.
I think that Sephiroth has no legs because he is absorbing mako energy from the crystal.
Thats why I think his leg-like tenticles are made from the mako crystal as well as his wing and circles around his head.
