Nibelheim Flashback

[Carl the Llama]

The whole Nibelheim Flashback is one of the best moments in FFVII.

I honestly can't believe so many people dislike it.

Sephiroth walking towards the camera...

The old, vaguely ominous music fading out...

Him sanding before the camera and saying that final line...

Cue "Those Chosen By The Planet" and its creepy-ass chorus starting.

That! That is called brilliant cinematic direction. FFVII is full of it. It's stuff like that, and the introduction to the Safer Sephiroth fight, that really make VII stand out. (the way the screen just goes black and you hear the Planet screaming and then the music starts and revs up while the screen is still black. Safer Sephiroth only reveals himself when the music hits the best possible note for his introduction)

That particular scene was awesome and I liked the backstory sequence the first time but about 90% of the flashback sequence I just want to plow through as soon as I can so I can get on with the game

You are so right about that, FFVII was brilliant at that kind of thing now that I think of it.
