“SEPHIROTH HAS

BECOME ICONIC

BEYOND THE CONFINES

OF THE PS1 GAME.”

E

x-SOLDIER 1st Class,

Sephiroth is powerful and

shares a mysterious history

with Cloud. He’s also at

odds with the Shinra

Corporation, but that doesn’t mean

he’s on the same side as the party. In

the original game he doesn’t appear

much in the Midgar portion of the

story, but he plays a bigger role from

earlier on in the Remake.

In the original game they teased

Sephiroth, building him up for quite a

while before he was introduced. But

you can’t argue that he’s become

iconic beyond the confines of that PS1

game, so now many who haven’t

played it know all about him. With

that, it makes sense for the devs not

to hold him back this time, instead

delving deeper into his and Cloud’s

relationship. You can expect to be

seeing plenty of this fiery character.

You’ve got to admit, if ever

a character made being bad

look really good, it’s him.

Mad, bad, and dangerous to know
