I don't know why, but knowing his hair would probably smell like vanilla while he fights puts him in a whole new level of super villain
😄😄😄
Aerith (seconds before death) : "Why do I suddenly smell vanilla?"
Super vanillain
Especially considering that vanilla is an aphrodisiac 😐😂
Soooo Sephiroths attack on Shinra Building wasn't simply to kidnap Jenova and kill President Shinra, but was also to loot a life time supply of shampoo and conditioner for his hair.
NEW HEADCANNON UNLOCKED!
😄
Understandable
L'Oreal... because hes worth it
XDDDDDDDDDDD
"The written word was tweaked to make Sephiroth sound much more seductive."
"...[the visual artists] were also told to maintain his alluring qualities at all costs."
Proof this dude was DESIGNED to be sexy.
I’m not gay.,,,BUT!
"At all costs" BRUH
That poor animator
He's like Dio Brando. They're both designed to be charismatic in more ways than one, and they both end up turning homies gay.
@@sephyyyboi it's not gay if it's for giga chads like dio or sephiroth.
Thank you! People think I'm just being a fangirl when I say that (I mean, he is attractive), but even someone that's ace can see that Sephiroth was designed to be alluring, lol. You don't have your antagonist purr his words and emphasize on his eyes and hair all the time otherwise. His outfit is so vastly different from what is standard for SOLDIER, with the straps that expose his chest, stopping just short of exposing his nipples. Did anyone really think that was just an accident? Square Enix sells sex with their characters because it works. Cloud had some tweaks made to him in Remake to also be more attractive and realistic, such as adding a faint amount of freckles (barely there, but you can see them in certain cutscenes and closeups), or dark eyelashes on the top and bottom make them appear brighter. These two and a plethora of others throughout Square Enix's catalogue are intentionally meant to entice players, if not by their story, then by their looks.
Thanos checks under his bed for Sephiroth before he goes to sleep
You still need to pay for your identity theft! Turn yourself in!
I can just picture his theme playing as you peer under your bed and see his face
Troy Evick
Hahahahahahahahaha thats fucking hilarious 🤣
@@n1k32h Haha thank you
Troy Evick
Truly that is a good joke!
He was SUCH a badaas!
Fact that we DO know: *He’s got one of the most memorable and legendary themes to have ever existed*
Agree one winged angel is a tune
I have had it downloaded on every music player ive had, and even had it burned onto a cd back in the day, it is primo magnifico
@@HovektheArtist do you like the advent children rock one
@@davidalistair9565 yes I do, in fact there isnt a version i do not like so far, but i think crisis cores orchestral version is probably the best
GANG AMEN TO THAT
There better be shampoo ads starring Sephiroth in the Remake.
Post remake edit*
Turns out there are posters for shampoo ads in the game, but no Sephiroth. Instead the product has a sleek silver look with the tag-line: "for radiant and spiky hair".
TKM20XX
Love this idea.
When you want to remain beautiful and handsome all at the same time [insert random shampoo here]. Only the best for Class A SOLDIERS.
I'd buy it IRL!
Add them as a mission, like Gladiolus and Cup Noodle in FFXV :) The ultimate hair experience!
Loreal~~ because I am worth it~~
Also, in Advent Children, the animators were told to make sure Sephiroth didn't blink at any point.
He probably keeps a massive supply of eye drops then, lol!
Fun fact: blinking is related to levels of alertness meaning the more tired you are the more you will subconsciously blink as a mini reset to the system. Sephiroth was locked in the whole time which is probably why they didn’t show him blinking all that much.
Also, another fact: to emphasize his otherworldliness and his being above mortal concerns, he is never shown to blink in the entire film.
Huh, that is oddly interesting as it is disturbing
Wow you look hard
But note: Cloud, whether it is dark or carrying a big sword, is not a blinker. A cloud, like a bat, man, cannot see
Also to push home the fact the 3 brothers are remants of sephiroth each one has one of the 3 personality traits to the extreme. The one who only wants his mother and will do anything for her, the intelligent calculating one with knowledge that unhinged him just a little, and the one that just enjoys the fight. I thought that was a interesting little direction
Guys he blinks at 16:37 come on
He had a thousand eyedrops before their fight scene
I can't get over how good Crisis Core STILL looks to this day
Stephen The Average Gamer really wish they would port it and Before Crisis
Too bad the battle system was garbage. Remember Cait Sith's Limit Break? Yeah, they decided to make an entire battle system centered around it.
@@SBaby I enjoyed the battle system
I still have the game and my psp, will never sell trhat beauty.
CC is the best game on PSP
@@YuubiTimberwolf Its one of the best no doubt
"His majestic beauty"... such correct descriptions!
So Zack was added as an after thought? And yet, still one of the most beloved characters.
The real main protagonist 😭
It is kinda weird how people liked Zack from the game, I don't remember he being developed other than "The guy that wasnt cloud" and Aerith's ex. Crisis Core on the other side made him one of my favorite characters
starlight_93 IIRC, knowing who Zack was in the original FF7 was pretty hidden information.
@@AkaiAzul no it was pretty clear in FF7 that zack was connected with cloud and was a part of his past in the Soldier, it was also pretty clear that aerith was his ex
@@SoshiForever1_SM No, I mean finding the flashback on who Zack is and all that was hard to find. Who thinks to check the Shinra Mansion basement after Zack returns in Disc 2? Without a guide, I mean.
I love advent children and literally just thinking of the moment sephiroth appears and just says "Hello,Cloud" gives me chills
Same
and that theme kicks in immediately afterwards . . . so intense
Actually he says "it's good to see you, cloud"
@@ryancunningham9760 i rewatched it last night and your right, im thinking he said hello, cloud in kh2 when he last appears to him in that. But man that good to see you, cloud is still chilling
Still one of my favourite scenes of all time. The remaster has got some good sephiroth scenes
Upon playing Crisis Core, I learned that Sephiroth has shown signs of obsessing over details. He locked himself away in the research department to learn about Project G and Zack couldn't get into contact with Sephiroth for Days on end because of it. It really did a good job foreshadowing his obsession of learning about Jenova before the Nibelhiem incident.
Maybe he's autistic ^_^
I wasn't pursuing Sephiroth. I was being summoned by Sephiroth.
You are correct my little puppet
hot.
You were being summoned by JENOVA...
One Winged Angel Sephiroth ALL HAIL SEPHIROTH!! EH
@@the_BattleGoose actually jenova had already lost her will to sephiroth at that point and was being used by him just like cloud :P
SEPHIROTH!
Who else said that like the song
@@Neo-cj1im
Same
🎺 - 🎺 - 🎺 - 🎺- 🎺
SEPHIROTH!
Da-da da-da da-da daaaa
Imagine the last thing you smell before the sweet embrace of death takes you.... Is luxurious shampoo and conditioner
Sephiroth will ALWAYS be my favorite character. I honestly can respect his drive. He almost made me want to give up because he is such a beast.
Okay, so we now that Sephiroth's hair is the true villain and that his shampoo is custom made instead of store bought
The bigger question is how did he keep his hair like that after he left Shinra and resurrected himself in northern crater...?
@@fireignitus9767 he stockpiled it
@@fireignitus9767 a monster like That stockpiled it for lifetime size
I love this way too much lol. “Majestic beauty”, “attractive nose” 😂❤️ Thank you so much for this!
"7 Sephiroth Facts You Probably Didn't Know"
and 2 of them are about his hair lmao
Why I read the comments ty
Quantity doesn't mean quality
FFVII = 7 facts.
Don’t have 7 facts? Just shoehorn a couple in.
Can you imagine Sephiroth in his own shampoo commercial? 😂😂😂
Put Sephiroth on a shampoo bottle and I'll buy it.
I'd laugh my ass off
I would so buy it
He will be like "buy this or perish fool"
I believe he would be ambidextrous. So he is proficient with the sword no matter what hand he wields it with. He would favour the left as it is unorthodox and a well trained swordsman is going to naturally struggle going up against a skilled left hander. So Sephiroth gains an immediate advantage plus, with all his enhanced physical prowess, he makes quick work of an opponent.
Mr Wolf ambidextrous would be my guess of a master swordsman as well. But with sword fights you counter an attack by mirroring the opponent, if he wasn’t ambidextrous he would be at disadvantage going right handed if he wasn’t ambidextrous
Damn 13 scents including Rose and Vanilla? Sign me up! Square Enix should release a scented candle. I would totally buy “the scent of silver” 😂
Oldest FF joke in the book lol
Not "Jenova's Witnesses?"
He has an aromatherapy candle plus a perfume! However the candle doesn't smell anything like vanilla or rose 😂here's the link to my review on the candle
th-cam.com/video/Pu691IvanBw/w-d-xo.html
Real talk. If they released Sephiroth's shampoo, I would pay for it.
@@HeIsAnAli Aww, shit now I want to actually found that religion!
Sephiroth is one of my all time favourite FF characters. I always love watching videos about him and learning new things about him.
17:13 Animations at the standards of that time.
IDK, even for today, Advent Children looks great, honestly back then they were ahead of their time.
Zack was a last-minute addition? I feel so validated right now. His introduction felt so completely out of nowhere, I always felt he was forced in at the last minute for some reason or another.
Good job with this video!
2:41 "The original character setting had Aerith and Sephiroth as brother and sister."
I never knew that.
Thank you.
and was supposed to be lovers as well
@@GadisBaliLivesAbroad yep!
Here's an eighth: Out of all the Final Fantasy antagonists, Sephiroth's the only one to consistently be accessible to the player in some fashion throughout his cameos
I never knew I needed the deets on Sephi’s haircare
What makes it funny is the implication that Hojo, who is the “chairwoman” of the Silver Elite fan club, went through Sephiroth’s shampoo and conditioner and probably special ordered them.
Or, made it himself.
Talk about a supportive dad! Least he could do after making the poor kid a research specimen!
Love that you have 'You can hear the cry of the planet' playing in the background, such an amazing piece of music that just gets the goosebumps growin' and flowin'
Huh. Perfect timing for this to show up in my recommended.
Out all of the facts I wasn't expecting Sephiroth hair routine, hey there's a good marketing idea to promote FF7 remake Lol
Here is a bonus fact it’s also confirmed that in advent children he was not even close to full power being closer to below 10%
that's terrifying
Why wouldn’t he just use it?
it also applies to cloud.
All of his materia were stolen ffs, imagine doing no materia challange in the original FFVII
Well, he was using most of his power to make sure his hair remained badass the whole time. It takes a lot of effort to maintain such wonderful hair.
@@omegaharbmaster I feel like it's less that he wasn't using his full power, and more that he didn't HAVE his full power.
Looks like someone has been doing his research.
Hey in that picture you look too sad. C’mon man you’re about to become a God! Let’s see a big evil smile ok?
Say: thee Roth!
*random car rolls up and the window goes down*
Kefka: YO WHAT'S GOOD, MAMA'S BOI, HO HO HO!
Wedges and Biggs: OOOOOOH SNAP!
Stay where you belong... In my memory
@@Cloud.Strife I will never be just a memory.
Everyone has mourned the original crisis core sephiroth.
'bad' sephiroth still has the essence and slight hints of crisis core.
Has anyone ever thought about sephiroth aksing cloud what he cherises and accepts the challenge when cloud says everything ?
Think about it sephiroth knows the damage and torture about losing everything you cherish, it happened to him in crisis core
Now we know why my man's hair is so damn fabulous. I've considered growing out my hair that long but I'd probably just slam it in my car door lol
You forgot to mention that the entire time he was in AC, he never once blinked. Which was another intentional otherworldly element to him.
I never knew that
I always believed that Sephiroth won ff7. His goal was do be reborn as a god by summoning meteor and sitting in the wound absorbing the energy gathered there. He had already been sitting in a previous wound the entire game, and the only way to be reborn is to die, and it makes sense that you have no choice but to beat him in the end
8. Sefirot, meaning emanations, are, according to the Jewish Kabbalah, the ten plains of existence that Ein Sof (the name of God prior to leaving the void) revealed Himself through when manifesting into physical reality, thus creating both said physical reality and the chain of higher metaphysical realms that are intrinsically linked to it. Sometimes referred to as The Tree of Life, Sefirot is alternatively transliterated into English as Sephirot or, more commonly, *Sephiroth* .
When it is said that "God is everywhere.", the phrase is meant to be taken quite literally, which is a concept often lost on both believers and non-believers alike.
Additionally, *Genova* (the name given to FFVII Sephiroth's "mother") is an obvious play on the word Jehovah, which is the Latinization of the Tetragrammaton (YHWH), or four-letter name of the God of Israel in the Hebrew Bible, and one of the seven names of God mentioned throughout Judaism as a whole.
Honestly, I'm surprised you didn't mention any of this, and I'm not even Jewish.
Good stuff, thanks for mentioning
Net Myth, my pleasure.
Sin has affected our souls and without Jesus to come an save you you'll be damned forever in the fire, But God in his great love sent Jesus to save us from sin and hell and death! He took our punishment that we deserved he took our sins to the cross and died to save us but it's not over! God rose him from the dead on third day! Jesus defeated hell and death He's our only salvation and savior, you can have eternal life through Jesus who defeated death it's a free gift you can have it and be a apart of God's family but you must repent to God an ask for his forgiveness of our sins he will hear you then you must believe in him completely and put all faith in him and believe in the Gospel and then believe an confess Jesus is Lord an that God raised Jesus from the dead and that he is alive and then accept Jesus Christ as your personal Lord an savior and trust him with your life and he will save you then you will have eternal life and have a personal relationship with Jesus our savior and with God our Father 🕊Romans 10:9 (KJV) That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.📖🕊Romans 10:10-13 (KJV) For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.📖🕊1 John 1:9 (KJV) If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Then His blood cleanses us from all sins and we are filled with Jesus's holy Spirit and light! No more darkness will exist in us 📖🕊1 John 1:7 (KJV) But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
Hum, I think that Jenova could be based on a place called Genova, a place where conquerors came from.
One fact I do know about Sephiroth: ...... He's sexy. 😍
fslayer1290 asf😍😍🥵
Yes 😍
I think we all know that.. 😍😩🥵
I feel uncomfortable
@@dizznuttx7693 based'nt
Kingdom Hearts Headcanon Time!
My theory as to why Sephiroth wielded his sword in his right hand. He was going easy on Sora during Kingdom Hearts 1. Yet in KH2. He was not holding back. He wanted to see Sora's strength and resolve. Also, to draw out Cloud and to finally fight. That is why he went back to being a Southpaw. He wasn't holding punches.
Qardo I'm not sure but I think I read it somewhere, KH 1 Sephiroth version is somewhat based on Amano's version of the character, which is right handed. You would also see some parts of the outfit similar to Amano's.
That always bothered me when I was a kid. I always catch it right away if people are either right or left handers, and seeing Sephiroth fight with his right hand in Kingdom Hearts really bugged me.
In reality, it was because he was never meant to appear in the game, and the American localization team decided to install him, themselves. In the process, they simply overlooked a number of things. Notably, his left-handedness, and his signature stance. Both were reinstated with KH2, where he was actually always intended to appear, so the OFFICIAL crew behind his design, were able to "do it right".
No sin was worse than having Lance Bass voice him, though. George Newbern is the ONLY proper voice of Sephiroth. I'm not even sold on the guy they hired for the remake, yet.
HUSH! THIS IS HEADCANON! DO NOT RUIN IT!!
@@marvelouschester3018 If I remember well, in Crisis Core you discover that Sephiroth is capable to use and fight with both hands.
facts about Sephiroths hair, I'm intrigued :)
I love how long it is. 😍
I'm bout to use his routine...
I'm like.
Breh
Lol imagine using a full bottle of shampoo and conditioner 😂 your grocery bill would definitely be impacted.
(One-winged angel starts playing)
"Why do I hear boss music?"
Ah! The good old Silver Elite News. Always the highlight of a long day.
8th fact you didn't know: He is in smash!
Fact #8: He's in Smash Ultimate.
Yeeeeesssssirr
The hair in FF7ac was my biggest praise, no wonder. 😁
"Square Enix loves collaborations"
Yeah but they are greedy as hell in Smash
I wonder if that'll still apply after you-know-what.
Maybe not as much as we thought lol.
Why does no one ever understand the fact that Sephiroth is merely a puppet as well? His character is full of irony. Jenova is the true villain of FF7. Shes just over looked because all we see is Sephiroth but the truth of the matter is. Those aren't Septhiroths words we hear. They are the words of Sephiroths twisted mind. Twisted and controlled by none other than Jenova herself. Jenova needed the perfect vessel since her true body was mainly destroyed due to the experiments and her time in dormancy. She manipulates everything in the game. The reactors. The clones and most of the experiments.
You see Sephiroth was injected with Jenova cells while he was still in the womb. His hair used to be black but then turned Silver when he grew older. When he starts to doubt himself after finding Jenova in Mt Niebel he does the research on all the projects concerned with Jenova. Its during this time and his doubt she starts to speak to him. She lies and manipulates him into believing he is an ancient just like Jenova but we all know that isn't true. Sephiroth actually technically died when Cloud killed him at the reactor but due to the Jenova cells in him and in other things still living they took on the appearance of Sephiroth. Sephiroth kind of became one with her thats why in the game his body keeps turning into pieces of Jenova. The true Sephiroth is frozen in ice and you only physically fight him in the last battle.
Edit: Cloud himself was being controlled by Sephiroth because of the cells in him. Hojo did this after finding him and Zack in the reactor. That's when Hojo started dubbing his subjects as Sephiroth clones. Not because they were clones in the sense that we are used to but because they could eventually become Sephiroth due to his consciousness being infused with Jenova. That's why in the movie Kadja turned into Sephiroth. He and his gang were the last of the "clones".
The real villain was Hojo...
@@BaronSengir1008 He was definitely among the most evil to be manipulated since he was actually willing. His curiosity got the better of him.
@@TheNin-Jedi I always repeated those same arguments a lot! It was Jenova who killed Aerith and President Shinra, not Sephiroth!!
But for me, Hojo is the real villain in the game. Jenova is like a virus, an ancient evil with only an inevitable purpose, but Hojo made his decisions, and he is the reason that Jenova was liberated, and of everything that happens in FFVII, basically.
Pretty sure square have come out and stated that sephiroth is the true villain ie he has surpassed Jenova and is manipulating Jenova who essentially submits to his will now
False, it was Sephiroth who controlled Jenova. In fact, Jenova calls Sephiroth her master in the game.
Kadaj, Loz and Yazoo are not “clones”. They were remnants created by Sephiroth’s will from the negative lifestream.
This was _VERY_ informative! I always thought Sephiroth and Aerith looked similar. Knowing that they were originally meant to be siblings makes sense, now! ❤️
It never occurred to me that he was left handed.
I've only ever played FFXIV, but one look at this guy and I'm thinking "I'll play any game if you're in it"
Give Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2 a try. He's in it.
Meteornome beating the piss outta the player
@@robertmoore3904 Pretty much,I remember when I was playing KH2 a while back. And me absolutely getting my ass handed to me so may times by him,SO badly. It wasn't EVEN funny,it was just absolutely pathetic....😑
The remake is right around the corner, here's your chance :P
I'm kinda salty he's not in FF14, since they added that overrated Joker ripoff Kefka.
Oh i didn't know that Sephiroth shared seiyuu with Griffith, that explain a lot!
I was reading this as i said it😂
Isshin Kurosaki and Minato Namikaze. Also Yoshikage Kira.
Watching this since he got announced for smash to learn more about THE Anime Swordsman
I've learned alot more about Sephiroth in this vid than I imagined going in! Huge kudos to the amazing quality content you're putting out!
Internet: Sephiroth is left handed!
Also internet: Sephiroth is Right handed!
Sephiroth: I am everything.
“...used to demonize Sephoroth...”
Yes.........he’s still a demon for killing her like that! *wipes tear away*
I want Shinra to make my shampoo and conditioner. Maybe they can help my hair woes. 🤣
I remember as a kid when I got to the final fight with shirtless Sephiroth I was in to much awe to press anything right away, and ended up killing him with a counter. ... My young self was pretty disappointed.
Until I of course replayed the final fight and did Omni-Slash, which I had never unlocked or had seen before at that time.
... Good times. Lol.
You can also defeat Sephiroth by using “Steal”. If you cheat your way into putting this materia on Cloud during the final fight and use it, Sephiroth just dies. It’s wild.
It was really cool to find out how much attention had been put on making him seem/feel otherworldly
Awesome Video! As a 1st generation gamer I've seen a lot of video-game baddies. General M. Bison has been at the top of my list of iconic badasses, until Sephiroth arrived. From his unique hair, his badassed black uniform, & to his iconic Masamune katana sword. His vocal tone is smooth, calm, confident, & powerful. Everything about him is badassed. Oh yeah, & he also has some of the most badassed theme songs in all of entertainment (One-Winged Angel, & Those Chosen By The Planet - Final Battle Edition).
Sephiroth: Oh?! Where did you find this strength?!
Raymond Karl: At the bottom of a box of Wheaties!
Maybe the Jenova cells prevents Sephiroth from being exhausted you know
Another fact: The english voice actor of Sephiroth, George Newburn, has also voiced Superman from Justice League. Now we finally know what the "S" stands for on Superman's uniform. ;)
11:34 & 16:52 Did no one catch that they have the same text despite talking about two different things?
I was about to comment the same thing!
My favorite Final Fantasy villain ever :)
Great video. Sephiroth has always been my favorite villain. He’s just so badass.
If "Lucrecia is his mother" is not on the list, you get a like.
What I really liked about Dirge of Cerberus. It wasn't just a Vincent story but also about Sephiroth and how they actually connect in FF7.
Omg imagine if the Hojo being the leader of the Sephiroth fanclub was finally confirmed. HIS DAD IS REALLY OUT HERE MANAGING HIS FANCLUB CAN YOU IMAGINE
Once the Sephiroth music comes on , you better watch out 🎶
I bet sephiroth hair smells so good lol
He’s the most iconic villain in videogames of all times.
Definitely a good video with ff7 remake around the corner.
I think him supposedly being paired up with Aerith first was interesting. Also, so what the bit about Advent Children was intrested. I loved that movie.
Awesome video. Thanks!
Hard to believe he was sane at one point in his life... such a shame a great man like him lost his way
You know the genius changes that were made throughout the game's creation is quite cool. To learn that one of the changes brought about Zack a character beloved by many. There are some personal issues I have with the game but overall I am a big fan of those who created this genius project. But can I say the scene with the guy in the shower, priceless!
and this is why Sephiroth is my favorite video game character of all time, even more than Soul Calibur's Viola. she may be flawless perfection in appearance, but Sephiroth is the Alpha and Omega, not only is he flawless perfection in appearance but also in battle.
No no no !!!!!! Virgil is the alpha and the omega. Virgil would destroy seph,ok maybe not but it's a fight i want to see
Also just for the record my first time crossing paths with seph was KH
I love Sephi! Looking forward to see what they've done with him in the remake. Will miss George doing his voice though.
How nice for this to show up in my timeline right about now!
I always thought that Sephiroth and Griffith were pretty similar in design and in role. Same with Cloud and Guts, time to think of it. Definitely some obvious inspiration there.
Not really
@@Killer_Kris7 Sephiroth: Silver haired, narcissistic, fought with Cloud at one point until betrayal.
Cloud: Brooding, strong, huge sword, ex mercenary.
Replace those two names with Guts and Griffith and you'll find the obvious inspiration.
@@marvelouschester3018
Cloud isn't really brooding. He's mostly an asshole for the game but he has a dorky side to him.
Plus Nomrua said themselves they didn't base Sephiroth or Cloud from Guts and Griffith. They said they were inspired by two Japanese Samurai's.
Sasaki Kojirō: Sephiroth
Miyamoto Musashi: Cloud
POV: you’re looking for a comment made after he got into smash.
A WITCH.
Mind-reader
Is sephiroth the first 'sephiroth clone' in all anime? (Tall, handsome, long white haired villain)
Probably not. But long hair has been seen as a status symbol for Japanese people of both genders for thousands of years.
I’ll say this, it’s pretty funny that the voice actor for Griffith from Berserk also played Sephiroth, as I’d say Griffith was the one of the earliest of that type of character, and surely an influence in the creation of Sephiroth (although I wouldn’t know the influences that the FFVII writers drew from).
I know nothing about final fantasy, but I sure do watch many videos like this one. And my honest compliments, this is one of the best ones. Well spoken, comprehensive or at least it feels like it is, well written and edited. I subscribed just cause of the quality of this video. And I've seen a bit more of your content by now and the quality level is the same. I can tell you do put effort into making these, so for what it's worth you get my respect and my subscription
It would be awesome to see some mentions on Genesis and Angeal on the FFVII remake
I would like that. If they do include them in the remake, they can also give us more information about their friendship before it shattered
putting them in dlc would be awesome
@@sneakylilcav4373 Yes, it would. Playing as Genesis and Angeal would have me die of happiness
Producer of game says it won’t include the other games.
A video about Sephiroth, bless!! I knew everything already but hearing it all read out loud makes me so happy 🖤 >o
Decades have gone by, yet one thing that doesn't seem to be abating anytime soon is the collective thirst for our boi Sephy
He uses a whole bottle of shampoo to wash his hair ;)
I will delete this comment if its mentioned here :D
6:00 yep! Oh yeah conditioner as well I forgot xD
I think as of the Virgil vs Sephiroth deathbattle video, that's not really an unknown fact, anymore 😅
@@catarena8031 yeah good point lol.
That's such a weird detail because I guess it applies in Crisis Core, but after that game Sepheroth's just stuck in the crystal and he's able to manipulate his Jenova Body to look however he wants.... So it's this weird thing that only applies to like one appearance, lol.
I wonder if Shinra included a hair care incentive for Sephiroth.
Delete this
@3:05 Oh cool, I always noticed the similar hair style but didn't know it was actually a relic of a changed plot element.
Sephiroth is ambidextrous confirmed
A couple I did, a couple I didn't. Great video as always.
Finally a fact video where i actually didn't know most of the facts.
Well this was fascinating. I was engrossed, and thought the video may be coming to the end and then you said 'Fact 2....' I can tell alot of work has gone into researching this and putting it together. Great work. :)
The only one I already knew was the shampoo one but I absolutely love Crisis Core and the included fanclubs.
If anyone hasn't told you yet, your voice is pleasant to listen to.
Crossover where Auron would lecture Septhiroth would be cool.
Great video my friend i learn alot through it! Keep up the great work homie!!!!
I was about to go to bed, and then saw this in the recs and just went "Try me."
I knew the shampoo one would be in there!
OKAY. That MonHun one? I did NOT notice and that freaked me out. I never noticed he held Masamune in his right hand in KH!
You know what, this was great. Really gave me some new facts. That's not something that usually happens for me!
Finally! A vid about our boi!
Thank you FFU!
Love it guys excellent work as always with the interesting info 😎 keep'em comin
you know, I know it's supposed to be something that everybody just except when they're playing these games, but no one ever take some to consideration the fact that these people are actually people. I mean just think about it, upon hearing about the fact that sephiroth uses an entire bottle of shampoo and conditioner when washing his hair, it shows you that he like everybody else has bathed, and that means also that he eats, has probably crashed into bed a few times, has woken up with Bed Head, and gone to the bathroom. But during the course of the game, nobody ever considers the fact that he did all that. And that all of the protagonist in the game likely have done the same thing just keeping up with their day-to-day needs as they pursued several through the course of the game. It's interesting what adding those humanizing elements to a character can do.
