Anyone who repeatedly quotes a play instead of actually talking in a way that makes sense has psycho written all over them.

I don't know if it was a ret-con or you just couldn't tell because of the primitiveness of the polygon sprites, but in FFVII Sephiroth seemed fairly likable and as normal as a super soldier could be expected to be. This clashes with how he appears in CC and AC, but makes much more sense. Also the fact that they completely changed Clouds character into an emo [female dog] from his FFVII character doesn't give me a lot of faith that the Sephiroth adaptation is completely authentic.

If I didn't know Sephiroth was evil before the flashback I would have been split 50/50 if he turns evil or is the cool hero you idolize and have to avenge their death.
