Ok, I'm not gonna mark this, since the title specifically states there are gonna be many spoilers floating about.


Sephiroth is speculated to be in his 30s, but that is physcally impossible. Sephiroth is actually the youngest character in the game aside from other NPCs. Vincent once dated Lucrecia, and she gave birth to Sephiroth. At the youngest, Vincent might have been 16 when he was in the Turks, but more than likely he wasnt any younger, since that was when Cloud "joined SOLDIER" was around 16. Vincent has been alilve longer than Sephiroth, seeing as he was alive when Sephiroth was bron, and is only 22 now when the game takes place. Therefore, if Square had given this any thought whatsoever, they would have made Vincent in his 30s. Unless Sephroth ages rediculously fast, which it does not say that anywhere in the game, then Sephiroth is 6-8 years old at the maximum. Which makes me wonder how Cloud knew about him. Square obviously didn't think this over and now it has really screwed the plot up big time.

Cloud states "I wanna be just like Sephiroth." when Sephiroth is only about 2 or 3 when that happens. And the only other thing that could make Sephiroth older is if Vincent was in the Turks when he was about 10. Then that would have put Sephiroth in his preteen years. Its just kinda funny, that everyone looks up to him, and sees him as a wise, older, leader person. When he is only 6-8 years old.

Sephiroth "We have an early day ahead of us"
*menu* 'It's still early' (might not be exact wording)
Choose > 'Let's call it a day'
Sephiroth "Ok, but I'm not waking you up "
