I'm ambivelent on the scene. I really liked it when I first saw it, getting to see Sephiroth kind of snap after absorbing so much horrible information in such a short time.

It's less cool, however, in hindsight when Sephiroth basically just emulates exactly what Jenova was going to do. They had a plot point that could have set Sephiroth up to be a really solid villain, but kind of dropped the ball. As such, knowing nothing that great comes from the scene, on later play throughs it didn't do anything for me.

That said it's not really bad at all.
