To be frank, the concept of a god is so badly defined as to be worthless. Kefka also defined himself as a god, and he was 'merely' incredibly powerful. If I recall the entirety of Sephy's plan, he wanted to become so powerful as to become nigh invulnerable, immortal, etc, in the classic, grecian understanding of what a god was.

I see what you're getting at but what I meant is that Sephiroth is happy doing what he does. As a general rule, Goths aren't happy. Ever.
As a general rule, they're also not particularly physically active, but I've known some exceptions. However, Sephiroth isn't a goth (as ill defined as the concept is), but a sadistic egomaniac of the grandest design.

Yeah. So? What's your point?
Well, the entire point was that his plan, were it successful, didn't need a living planet to stay around.

okay, that clears up that one point. But the rest of it still proves my point. His awesome magical powers is what makes him so formidible. (SuperNova, Meteor). And it's the reason why the planet is about to be destroyed.
Agreed, though I hesitate to attribute any in battle spell to reality. Though relating this back, always be hesitant to attribute magic> over things as a blanket, because its terribly inconsistent across worlds.
Though he was supposedly death in a trenchcoat on the battlefield without the materia as well.

so you missed the part in FFVII:AC where he and Cloud had a massive battle with Swords. and about the D&D... I never played the game and besides, are we not disscussing Sephiroth, D&D has nothing to do with him.
But you never saw the damage Sephiroth inflicted in the movie, in the absence of damage #'s. The whole fight was each one blocking the others' attack, and Sephiroth got in a hit only once. With no #'s.
As for D&D; Well, you quoted what I said and that was said in D&D terms. If D&D damage counts were raised up to those in FF, than one fireball could easily kill a wing of dragons. The two are far unbalanced, and so direct comparison is not fair.
One Meteor Swarm perhaps, but definitely not one fireball.

btw, you really should play D&D. You'll like it.
I agree. Depending on your DM, though, your mileage may vary.
