@@Jademoon25 I like to think Hojo's notes were somewhat insane and that's why Seph cane away sincerely thinking Jenova was an ancient and was his actual mother.

He also convinced Cloud to reveal himself and pursue Tifa. Oh, and he held the camera while Vincent murdered Hojo. I like to think that anyway.

@@matthewmorrison3745 there's making mistakes and then there's telling your perfect human weapon his mother is an evil space monster (which you keep hanging around and labeled) when he literally has a human mother, and then sending him to the literal only place he could discover the truth
@@raulsouza5866 yea, lucretia may be his mother but he was also injected with jenova cells while he was still in the womb (which caused lucretia to see glimpses of the fall of nibleheim) those jenova cells had a lot more influence into sephiroth's mind. It's also why jenova attracted him. Because those jenova cells were basically a parasitic hivemind. Had sephiroth *not* been injected with jenova cells then he likely wouldn't have turned evil. But those jenova cells pretty much took control of his mind and caused him to go crazy
Tbh his life started going trauma conga line pretty early, his existence itself was unlucky for himself. Hojo ruined a lot of things, including his son.
FenrirTheAshenWolf Yeah Cloud was kinda a goof ball in the original game, he cracked jokes but always maintained a Cynical attitude, especially when talking about battle tactics, a good example of his goofball attitude is when he Calls Barret a “Bear wearing a marshmallow” when he was in his sailor uniform. An example of his cynicism would be when he tells the party that they will all die when facing Shinra’s robots.
FenrirTheAshenWolf lol don’t worry. He’ll be back to his old self when you’re out and about in midgar. And then back to emo mode throughout advent children and then goofball after all that is over.
I’m sad he’s still edgy in the Remake :/ only moment I remember he sorta breaks the cold man attitude is during the chapter with Biggs, Wedge, and Jessie when they have to escape near the end.
@@BlaxeFrost-X Sephiroth taunted Cloud when he had Cloud dead to rights. Doing that pissed off Cloud to the point where Cloud turned it around on Sephiroth.
Can we respect how they remade that scene from the Original? I've seen that scene like 5 Times or more in OG. They showed it so goddamn much. First in the Nibelheim flashback, then the Mythril Cave and then the Lifestream.
@@chinesecovidanalswabs4752 well, George Newborn, the original voice, also voices Superman in all of the Superman animated stuff. Justice League, a few movies, all that. And ever since learning that, I've never been able to unhear it. So I welcome the change in voice, personally.
I actually have a feeling that Sephiroth won't be the main antagonist in the remake. It would very interesting to see where the remake is going. I was kinda annoyed with the fact that i knew everything that was going to happen even if the remake shakes thing up with extended content. I like the idea of anything goes moving forward. Doesn't mean the overall plot will change but still interesting and builds more excitement for the next games to come.
@@MugiwarasNakama I don't think so because sephiroth is immensely popular probably more than the main characters, so he cannot be replaced. But I do think that the ending will different than that of the original. Battles will be different since the first part ended with a dual between sephiroth and cloud. Cloud tried omnislash just like the original but in this case sephiroth blocked it. They will not repeat it. Also, Aerith may (will) not die in the remake.
Saw a character alignment video on Sephiroth that shows his descent. 1. Sephiroth works for Shinra, but with no real purpose. 2. A fight with the AVALANCHE leader in Before Crisis where he was posed a question on why he fights. 3. Close bonds and friendships with Angeal and Genesis. His friends are his motivation now. All is good. 4. Genesis defects. 5. Angeal defects. But Zack is a new friend. Try to form bonds with this group. 6. Angeal dies. 7. Sephiroth finds the truth about his origins. 8. Genesis just wants his cells. What kind of friend is this? 9. Sephiroth becomes jaded and soon snaps. His closest friends are basically frauds. 10. Focus on Mother. She won't betray him, because he controls her will now too.
But his real mother isn't Jenova though... That's the real sad thing, I forgot the doctor's name but Hojo made her pregnant and sabotaged the fetus inside her. Pity woman decided not to live realizing her son is a monster.
Their Virtual Reality Training Simulators is So Advanced. More like Reality Marble. Hojo and other ShinRa Scientist made it, they really are one of a kind.
I think instead of the gruff voice they wanted a creepy, wispy voice. And with Sephiroths huge obsession with cloud and the all around lurking around in the shadows, I think it fits the remakes version of Sephiroth perfectly. At this point we all know that this is not the same Sephiroth stuck up in the mountains, this one is more lucid and intelligent. So I like the creepy vibe the new voice actor gives off. It’s more mysterious and fits that the fact that we have no idea what’s up with the ending to the remake.
Same!!! not saying that the new VA did an awful job he just doesn't fit Seph, he didn't sound intimidating and he sounds too young for Seph, most people prefer George Newbern's raspy voice and Zack's new voice is terrible
"But those fools... They tried to steal the planet from Jennifer." "Do you... hear... the call... of ... Jen... i... fer....?" "Jenn... i... fer... ugh... Moth... er..." Eh, doesn't really have the same ring to it, but I'm imaging a teenage girl trying to take over the world now.
I want a game where we get to play as sephiroth before he became the hero everyone looked up to. His backstory, how he grew up as a child, his training to become the best. You listening Square?!
Honestly I think that's the worst thing you could do. Part of what makes Sephiroth so enthralling is his unattainability, if that makes any sense. He was always different, always greater. He didn't become mighty like Cloud did, he was born that way. In other words, you can't make Sephiroth human.
@@Tahkaullus01 I disagree, like you have to look deep into Sephiroth's past and personality, he was really Humble human being born into a shitty situation.he was a pretty chill and innocent guy just doing his job as a Soldier. He was always their for his friends needs. He was even willing to donate blood when Genesis first got Sick from degrading. SEPHIROTH had all these amazing powers and Genes from being spliced with Jenova and he knew he was different from the other and it made him lonely. every one feared or worshipped him which he didn't want, he wanted to be human and finding out he was an generic experiment crushed what little he had about feeling human.
@@Tahkaullus01 The thing that struck out to me the most for all of these years of this game, is when Angeal asked Zack about what he thiught angels would dream of, and he says they dream to be become human. If only... Sephiroth and Cloud could have heard the same exact words, maybe things might have had a different turn. Maybe they could have helped Sephiroth instead of antagonizing him. He could have been their greatest ally in times of strife, who comes and goes as he pleases like Phoenix Ikki from Saint Seiya.
An under appreciated aspect of the ff7 universe as a whole is that fact the shinra has super advanced hologram technology that they control with flip phones.
It just occurred to me what diva's both Sephiroth and Genesis were, since they apparently were the only soldier first class that didn't wear a traditional uniform.
To be fair, when you get to those two's level of fame, power and heroism i'm pretty sure nobody would bother you about what kind of clothing you wear, lol. I bet Angeal just stuck with it because of how much of a hardass he is in regards to rules and hierarchy.
i wouldnt call it diva,i actualy like that they distinguish themselves,i wouldnt want to look like everyone els either,i never got that about uniforms oke fine you have to look like the company you work for but atleast give people room to personalize there work outfit. we dont all have to look like unit drones.
I find it interesting that Sephiroth seems to act more friendly to Cloud then Zack. With Zack he seems disinterested in all but the mission but with Cloud he's curious about his childhood home. Could be that Zack is a soldier directly under his command while Cloud is his Batman (personal servant).
@@FahadKhan-xu4gd What would the hero of Shinra care for an ordinary 1st class? It's not really respect, it's almost like parallel movement. Both moving the same direction but never touching or growing closer.
@@FahadKhan-xu4gd For that exact reasoning I think. Aside from Cloud sharing Zack's memories, Zack isn't all that important in the long run to Sephiroth. Can't see why he would bother when Cloud is the more interesting one.
Actually in the other cutscenes he cracks a few jokes with Zack and they actually started to become friends through the betrayal of the other 1st class soldiers.
He actually becomes quite a bit of a buddy to Zack later on, he even reveals to Zack that he may defect if it means reuniting with his friends (Genesis and Angeal) again, something that would take an insurmountable amount of trust to divulge, and Zack was the only person to have been told this information.
not true, hojo only made him think that to see how sephiroth would react, his real mother was lucrecia that hojo injected jenova cells during pregnancy to see if a human pops out or a monster, hojo's only purpose of sephiroth was to bring back the ancients from the humans, and in order to achieve that needed magic meteor to wipe out all human civilization
1st: Hojo knew full well Jenova wasn’t an ancient Gast found that out not too long after the Jenova project started. 2nd: sephirtoths mental issues stem from being experimented on as a fetus and growing up and going by real world logic mental illness can also be hereditary. Both Hojo and Lucrecia suffer from some pretty severe mental illnesses so it’s no wonder sephiroth went nuts. He may be the perfect soldier physically but mentally the dude is off his rocker.
Dont know about Cloud but Wakka from FFX uses the same hair gel used in the movie "Something About Mary" :') Also for Sephiroth's hair.. He must use Head & Shoulders.. & Knees :')
*Me, 13 years old, never played a FF game before. Have a psp, get Crisis Core* *Also me, seeing sephiroth for the first time* "Damn, he looks so cool, and like a bad guy."
To this day I remember when I heard Sephiroth say to Nibelhiem, I remember saying oh God no, not now it's to soon. I honestly thought they would do a few random missions together, before the great tragedy happens, before Cloud was always devoid of emotion, before Tifa lost everyone except for Cloud, before Sephiroth became one of the most evil characters in gaming history, and before Zack ever got to see Aerith one last time.
Ahhh now if only Sephiroth sounded like this in the Remake/Requel....he's missing that raspy, deep, calm, confident tone in the Remake. He's not intimidating at all, he sounds too young, too soft spoken. Like a completely different character :/ don't know why they'd get rid of George Newbern since he's perfect....like you guys already struck gold Square, what were you thinking???
"Sephiroth's mother named Jenova" said Jack. This what Sephiroth come for, this why whole crazy event take place, this is why he became the most dangerous villian. All the behind of the event is Dr Hojo. He experience his mother. Just like she want experience Arithe in FF7 Remake. Because she is ancient.
This is for clarification purposes. The player wouldnt know it was cloud if he had the helmet on 24/7 unless a text box follows him throughout the game.
Bruh if Cloud had met Sephiroth for the 1st time he'd be very surprised but here he does not look surprised at all,i think Cloud has seen Seph many times before so i dun think this is actually his 1st time seeing him,And the way Seph told Cloud on "How it felt to be back home after all this time."Almost Sounded like he had already known him.
You know, I looovee the portrayal of normal Sephiroth here in CC. He was so elegant,intelligent with calm demeanor, always speaks very gently, and yes he can be aloof at times with *gasp* a dry humour!. But it irks me when some young new FF7 fans only judge him as this 'problematic villain', and even though when they watch CC custscenes, some of them still think Sephiroth has a personality of a 'cardboard'. Good God youngins, just because someone is mature, strong and silent & not the silly, ultra extroverted person like Zack doesn't mean they don't have a personality. Try to grow out of your Disney phase so you can actually see things that are not just 'black & white' & the meaning of 'having a personality' does not equal 'Happy,positive,extrovert,spazzy,love,smile,sunshine,rainbows, super nice gary stu'.
I think they mean more this fan-fictiony version which they have pushed sometimes. The one who speaks some cheesy villain lines, but calmly. And is strong, like many other villains. CC Sephy is indeed more deep and OG game had this "Eldrich Abomination"-factor. At least personally I find this "fan-fiction" Sephiroth flat villain compared to his OG performance who didn't need cheesy lines to be villainous.
I think zack's reaction when he realized it was sephiroth whose blade was behind him is how we all reacted when we had to fight him suddenly in kingdom hearts lol
Odd looking at all these new post compilation fans shocked that Sephiroth was a good guy. It clearly talks about it in the original game multiple times. One comment even didnt know Sephiroth was stabbed in the back by Cloud. Man I swear shit like KH and the compilation seriously warped from the original fanbase.
I still say Hojo stole Vincent Valentine DNA (hair or something) tweeked it with Jenova cells to create a serum to impregnate Lucrecia. So overcomplicated that it belongs in FF. It just makes more sense to me than Hojo getting laid.
"Showing your back to the enemy... Overconfidence will destroy you."
That foreshadowing
Explain plz
He got stabbed when his back was turned.
@@luiscamano5836 Sephiroth got killed by Cloud when his back was turned away
And Sephiroth always loses to overconfidence

That makes him a nice son if you honestly ask me. I mean, he was angry at how his "mom" was treated and such.

I find it interesting that Sephiroth seems to act more friendly to Cloud then Zack. With Zack he seems disinterested in all but the mission but with Cloud he's curious about his childhood home. Could be that Zack is a soldier directly under his command while Cloud is his Batman (personal servant).
Yeah also surprised, how sephiroth doesn't mention zack at all in remake,
@@FahadKhan-xu4gd What would the hero of Shinra care for an ordinary 1st class? It's not really respect, it's almost like parallel movement. Both moving the same direction but never touching or growing closer.
@@FahadKhan-xu4gd For that exact reasoning I think. Aside from Cloud sharing Zack's memories, Zack isn't all that important in the long run to Sephiroth. Can't see why he would bother when Cloud is the more interesting one.
Actually in the other cutscenes he cracks a few jokes with Zack and they actually started to become friends through the betrayal of the other 1st class soldiers.
He actually becomes quite a bit of a buddy to Zack later on, he even reveals to Zack that he may defect if it means reuniting with his friends (Genesis and Angeal) again, something that would take an insurmountable amount of trust to divulge, and Zack was the only person to have been told this information.
Wow cloud and sephiroth showing emotions other than smug and depression, impressive
Crisis Core has been on my mind for like the past month. Glad I’m not the only one. They really should port this game or something.
scumbag Hojo is to blame for Sephiroth's madness. Lied to him his real mom is Jenova.
not true, hojo only made him think that to see how sephiroth would react, his real mother was lucrecia that hojo injected jenova cells during pregnancy to see if a human pops out or a monster, hojo's only purpose of sephiroth was to bring back the ancients from the humans, and in order to achieve that needed magic meteor to wipe out all human civilization
Pretty sure hojo is his biological father
Enyalios Ares for the experiment yes he was He didn’t give two shits about Lucrecia though. He only saw her as a Necessary step.
1st: Hojo knew full well Jenova wasn’t an ancient Gast found that out not too long after the Jenova project started.
2nd: sephirtoths mental issues stem from being experimented on as a fetus and growing up and going by real world logic mental illness can also be hereditary. Both Hojo and Lucrecia suffer from some pretty severe mental illnesses so it’s no wonder sephiroth went nuts. He may be the perfect soldier physically but mentally the dude is off his rocker.
@@abyssofsorrowanddespair2936 pretty describe em Man this series of VII is mess up but realism to it
6:38 good lord....is that...a smile???
Sephiroth *chuckles deeply*: why am I talking about this
Zack: um because I asked you??..
It's an insecurity of his. That's why he responded weird about it. Laughed the pain away.
All big kudos to Rick Gomez, Steve Burton and George Newbern who brought these iconic characters to life.
man cloud is such an interesting character. i hope we get to play as him in the future.
I love zack's voice in crisis core so much
Same with Sephiroth's
*To this day*
I still want to know what Shampoo Sephiroth uses and what Hair Gel Cloud uses
This is it. This guy knows where the money is.
Dont know about Cloud but Wakka from FFX uses the same hair gel used in the movie "Something About Mary" :')
Also for Sephiroth's hair.. He must use Head & Shoulders.. & Knees :')
He use mako with Shampoo
According to the game, Sephiroth uses a full bottle conditioner every morning.
There's an easter egg in the remake for Cloud's spikey hair gel
Zack, my hero😢💙
Great choice!
*Me, 13 years old, never played a FF game before. Have a psp, get Crisis Core*
*Also me, seeing sephiroth for the first time* "Damn, he looks so cool, and like a bad guy."
You had no idea huh, I can imagine your surprise.
7:12 Cloud looks so funny here XD
I wonder how many lives would have been saved if someone has simply told him about Lucretia (his real mother)?
What do you think should get most attention:
Sephiroth being a good guy for the majority of the game or seeing cloud smile for a split second?
I just realzied Angeal was trying to get Zack ready for Sephi's inevitable betrayal, and that's why seph was in that sim
Sephiroth: Name is Sephiroth, nickname is Feral.. also Sephy.. and the only one who will know this will be you Cloud.
THIS was the true voice of sephiroth. Nothing against ff7 remake
Same with Zack
It’s Dark Superman sounds badass
Same with zack
Man Sephiroth back in this game seemed so…..human….
I’m sure the three of them are gonna be such good friends!
1:22 Angeal flipping his phone out to post Sephiroth killing Zach on his Twitlonger
To this day I remember when I heard Sephiroth say to Nibelhiem, I remember saying oh God no, not now it's to soon. I honestly thought they would do a few random missions together, before the great tragedy happens, before Cloud was always devoid of emotion, before Tifa lost everyone except for Cloud, before Sephiroth became one of the most evil characters in gaming history, and before Zack ever got to see Aerith one last time.
All those inevitable plot elements hit you like a freight train at the same... all done with two simple words. Fantastic writing.
you can see how cloud is happy around Zack
Sephiroth:...to Nibelheim
Cloud: Oh hell no! 😠
Damn I've never seen Cloud that happy and cute 😭 poor baby
7:07 poor cloud he didn't know he just meet his ENDLESS ONION NIGHTMARE
3:24 if only Zack can use this item at the end of this game. Lol...
I really loved the music in that game.
I want remastered version for this game
Nah, not needed
This game still looks phenomenal. Just a port would be more than enough.
They will compile everything in the remake series, so you'll get, but not the way you want .
@@Ainsley_the_meat_rubber It needs to be on something other than PSP. A Switch port would be perfect
Well now you got it
0:34 What was Angeal doing???
Lying on the ground, thinking about honour
Sephiroth laughing is the most cursed thing I’ve ever heard.
2:10 "Embrace your dreams" is still one of the best lines I've heard in the series. Even after all these years, hearing it feels so powerful.
dreams and honor, dreams and honor, dreams and honor. 🤪
crazy how a man's outlook on life can change after being locked in a library for a couple days...
7:39 Ohhhh that laugh.... for what is about to come.
he laughed because he tried to act normal as having a backstory he knows about.
Oh the days when Sepharoth laughed joyously and in good fun
Who’s here after sephiroth got in smash?!?!
That deflect that Zack did was so friggin stylish. Dante would be proud.
Ahhh now if only Sephiroth sounded like this in the Remake/Requel....he's missing that raspy, deep, calm, confident tone in the Remake. He's not intimidating at all, he sounds too young, too soft spoken. Like a completely different character :/ don't know why they'd get rid of George Newbern since he's perfect....like you guys already struck gold Square, what were you thinking???
Dude thank you. I stated the same I feel as if his voice isn’t as deep or calm.
Will he sounds different in the original too🤷♂️🤷♂️
It's a joke
@Faris Faisal that's because the new va acted as superman before also lol
I think he did fine. Old Seph had a voice who couldn't be touched but new Seph did fine to me.
The new guy is fine.
Little did Cloud know that this "hero" becomes his biggest pain in the butt.
6:37 never thought I see a single smile from Cloud
"Sephiroth's mother named Jenova" said Jack.
This what Sephiroth come for, this why whole crazy event take place, this is why he became the most dangerous villian.
All the behind of the event is Dr Hojo. He experience his mother. Just like she want experience Arithe in FF7 Remake. Because she is ancient.
By far the most amazing series I've played. Fight me if you disagree.
**
*Modulating phase*
*power surge*
From what anime is you're pb
Exept Dirge. That game was just milking on old games merits.
The fucking flip phones kill me JSVDJDV
And this masterpiece came from a handheld.
Sephiroth needs a snickers...
You know what bugs me? Cloud is supposed to be a generic grunt but is the only grunt without his helmet on.
This is for clarification purposes. The player wouldnt know it was cloud if he had the helmet on 24/7 unless a text box follows him throughout the game.
Honestly that's one of the very minor retcons that shouldn't be so worrisome
Bruh if Cloud had met Sephiroth for the 1st time he'd be very surprised but here he does not look surprised at all,i think Cloud has seen Seph many times before so i dun think this is actually his 1st time seeing him,And the way Seph told Cloud on "How it felt to be back home after all this time."Almost Sounded like he had already known him.
You know, I looovee the portrayal of normal Sephiroth here in CC. He was so elegant,intelligent with calm demeanor, always speaks very gently, and yes he can be aloof at times with *gasp* a dry humour!. But it irks me when some young new FF7 fans only judge him as this 'problematic villain', and even though when they watch CC custscenes, some of them still think Sephiroth has a personality of a 'cardboard'. Good God youngins, just because someone is mature, strong and silent & not the silly, ultra extroverted person like Zack doesn't mean they don't have a personality. Try to grow out of your Disney phase so you can actually see things that are not just 'black & white' & the meaning of 'having a personality' does not equal 'Happy,positive,extrovert,spazzy,love,smile,sunshine,rainbows, super nice gary stu'.
And now he's in smash
I think they mean more this fan-fictiony version which they have pushed sometimes. The one who speaks some cheesy villain lines, but calmly. And is strong, like many other villains. CC Sephy is indeed more deep and OG game had this "Eldrich Abomination"-factor.
At least personally I find this "fan-fiction" Sephiroth flat villain compared to his OG performance who didn't need cheesy lines to be villainous.
Who's watching this after he got in smash?
I am now
Me
I wonder what search results where like when sephi wasn't in smash
i wish zack tried to get a little closer to sephiroth...maybe genesis wouldn’t have gotten to his head so easily
Those cell phones didn’t age well lol
I think zack's reaction when he realized it was sephiroth whose blade was behind him is how we all reacted when we had to fight him suddenly in kingdom hearts lol
Odd looking at all these new post compilation fans shocked that Sephiroth was a good guy. It clearly talks about it in the original game multiple times. One comment even didnt know Sephiroth was stabbed in the back by Cloud. Man I swear shit like KH and the compilation seriously warped from the original fanbase.
Yup. Kind of funny how that gatekeeping stuff actually has a purpose in the first place and isn't just to be negative.
Well considering the remakes seems to be going the Nomura KH fate/defunct destiny route...they may not need to know this info.
@@ThatGuy-en2nn no they still need to its important
Crisis Core remains to be my favorite Final Fantasy game, now that we've remade VII can we please get a CC remake thanks
I still love the fact they recreated that Nibelheim entry scene in CC.
I still say Hojo stole Vincent Valentine DNA (hair or something) tweeked it with Jenova cells to create a serum to impregnate Lucrecia. So overcomplicated that it belongs in FF. It just makes more sense to me than Hojo getting laid.
Yeah I thought the same as a kid when played this gem, I thought vicent appearance was more relate to Sephiroths than hojos appearance.
The way zack put his hands up was so hilarious it’s like he’s getting arrested 🤣
crisis core cloud:OMG ITS SEPHIROTH HOLY SHIT MY HERO!
smash bros:OH GOD DAMMIT WHY HIM!?
Who built a Sephiroth trollbot into the simulation?
Man i hope they remaster crisis core. This was my game for real.
Cloud is, like, having a kid's dream; something like Superman/Cap/Goku visit your house.
Legit thought this said "Zack and Cody meet Sephiroth" lol
That would definitely not be the "suite life"
Love the symbolism of sephiroths holographic face dissolving in front of angeals
7:03
Zack: By the way, Where are we going?
Sephiroth: To Nibelheim
Cloud: 👁👄👁
This game man. I want it again
