I think Sephiroth started to become manipulated by Jenova as soon as he was in proximity to her at Nibelheim. She can do this because her cells are in Sephiroth. Jenova can't communicate but has been described to exude pure hatred and she has the ability to manipulate emotions. She used his insecurities to drive him to research, go crazy, and destroy the town to "rescue" her so she could use Sephiroth's body to take over the world. That's why some of Sephiroth's decisions seem illogical, unthoughtful, or based on misinterpretations while in Nibelheim - Jenova is biasing his judgement and influenced him so a particular outcome would occur.

Ok I love how sephiroth isn’t just the primary villain but also the primary victim of the game

Seph is such a tragic character, he was a victim too, damn that Joe Hojo!

Death, Hojo's first name is obviously Mojo. Mojo Hojo.

I think part of the reason Sephiroth looks bigger, is because he's trying to seem more imposing to Cloud's mind. He wants Cloud to remain his puppet. Even in the original game, when you have the flashback and see Sephiroth fight the Dragon in Nibelheim--I think it is shown that he is like a superhero, because Cloud saw him as one. It would reinforce the idea that he can't be beat, which would make Cloud doubt himself. After all, Cloud was able to defeat (albeit a wounded) Sephiroth at the reactor and he was pre-Mako pre-Jenova cells.

Love your theory of Jenova possibly being an Omega weapon from a dying planet that sought out different planets to sustain her life. I hope more of her origins are explained as the calamity in the sky in the next remake games, she's such an interesting antagonist.

I absolutely love your theory of Jenova being another Omega Weapon. Very intriguing!

My dude. That is some top shelf head canon with Jenova being a rogue Omega Weapon.

Don't let Nomura see that, LOL

Your omega weapon theory gave me chills, how it goes from 1 planet to another and "seeds" it. Very facinating.

Sephiroth as a character is a permanent landmark in gaming history and the masterful one winged angel theme just stands the test of time, Nobuo Uematsu is a genius. Below are my suggestion's for next in-depth.

1. Hojo
2. Cloud's father
3. Chocobo Joe

I really love the theory that Jenova is basically a weapon, makes a lot of sense. Much like animals evolve differently, it would make sense that other planet’s lifestreams might similarly adapt to appear in a different way.

Me - "Idk..I'm already subscribed to SO many creators on here.."

"Maybe his name is Joe...Joe Hojo..."

Me - ..............*subscribes*

Thanks for the continued dedication to final fantasy 7.

1. Bugenhagen
2. Vivi
3. Solid snake

Yes! Finally Sephiroth in depth is here. Love the name "Jenovaroth". 🤣

In depth characters I'd love to see:
1)Reeve
2)Vivi
3)Mega Man

10:30 I have a feeling that his personality changed because he has a psychotic break at Nibbleheim and he's no longer sane. His goals and world view seem to change constantly now so I don't think his mind is all that coherent anymore.

Almost a whole hour of Sephiroth!!!

There is some context to Sephiroth's height in the original game, beyond what was mentioned in the video. We see the photo that the man in Nibelheim took of Zack, Sephiroth and Tifa, and Sephiroth is very clearly taller than Zack and significantly taller than teenage Tifa. We're never given Zack's height in the original game of course, but in later materials it's been established as 6'1. But I think that even looking at the OG photo, Sephiroth very clearly gives off a vibe of someone who is taller than 6'1. He looks at least 6'4.

Every subsequent compilation release has either suggested or established Sephiroth's height as being much taller than 6'1 and somewhere between 6'4 and 6'7, so yeah I agree entirely with the video that the original 6'1 is almost certainly junk localisation. (In the PAL manual it's 185cm btw, which I think isn't even 6'1!)

Last Order looked so cool, but it was chock full of inaccuracies. The worst of which IMO is that Zack was taken out by 1 sniper. Zack was so badass that even in the original there were 4 people standing over him with machine guns shooting him in the face. And he still wasn't dead for a while.

The amount of detail they put into creating FF7 and having numerous subliminal meanings behind these characters, stories and even weapons, all of this in 1997 is absolutely incredible foreal 💯
