"Sephiroth's strength is unreal. He is far stronger in reality than any story you might have heard about him."

- Cloud Strife, Kalm 1997.

Man, the way he was designed: the black trenchcoat, the silver hair, the white enameled shoulder pads, and the eyes... Mako eyes. Creepy, powerful, effective.

Maybe my favorite villain. Underappreciated, these days, if anything. The only downside is he was a psychopath for the majority of the present story.

I agree with whoever said he's as polarizing as FFVII itself. Although the FFVII hate has largely died down. I think it's funny that Flying Mullet and them have that "kinda fake for fun but not really" VII hate thread - because all of their criticisms are largely ridiculous and unintentionally hilarious. I mean, seriously, go back to one of the older threads of EoFFers hating on this game, or the reasons they give for hating Sephiroth. It's hilarious the bottom of the barrel, grasping-for-straws logic behind the utterly incredulous criticisms of FFVII.

It was a landmark game and Sephiroth was an unforgettable villain. That is all.
