This is why so many people like him.
Sephiroth was a great villain, because of these things, but if you forget about these "revolutionary things(begin of a new generation of villains, with more depth, etc.)" you guys will see that exist MANY villains better then him, in video games. Some of them, even in the FF series.
Everything evolve. FFVII and Sephiroth were good to their time. But now, we have other FFs and other villains, much better then it, and then him.
Popularity is not equall to "being the best". FFVII(and Sephiroth) is popular, because of the time that the game was released, not because is "the best game ever!". And this is something that some people have to understand.
