First, Sephiroth doesn't care about the Planet by the time of FFVII. That was the entire purpose of my opening post. He initially believed, incorrectly of course, that he was indeed chosen by the Planet.

However, by the time of FFVII, Sephiroth doesn't care what the Planet thinks or feels. he just wants to destroy it for his own purposes.

Second, I called you an apologist because I was feeling annoyed and argumentative. So sorry, it wasn't your fault. I was just in a pissy mood.
