Everyone, at this current point in time, is sick of Sephiroth. He's been with us for 2 decades and some change. He's like a family member at this point. I hate seeing him. Everytime he shows up in FFVIIR and his stupid Latin chorus violin bullshit creeps into the foreground I rapidly lose interest in the cutscene.
He doesn't need to be everywhere. We don't need to see him every 2 hours to remind us that he exists. We're playing a remake to the most popular FF game of all time. Everyone who has booted up this game knows who he fucking is. They know his theme. They know his sword. They know his relationship with Cloud.
And lets say...uhh...they didn't know any of these things about Sephiroth. Why introduce him in the most pointless, flaccid way possible?
(INSERT FFVII OG DID SEPHIROTH REVEAL BETTER RANT HERE)
And then you realize you've spend the entire game fighting the Whispers (who were being controlled by Sephiroth) and the game ends with a climactic battle to change fate against Sephiroth. Where the ending of FFVII OG basically happens the same way it did against Sephiroth and Cloud facing off in another dimension/Lifestream whatever.
And then, after allllllll that, the main characters end the game declaring "We must stop Sephiroth!" and then leave Midgar. No one thought this was the end of Sephiroth but to pretend that this is the plot of OG FFVII after what we just witnessed is nuts. No. You can't go and pretend to be FFVII after all that.
And you know what the worse part it? This was technically the part of the game with the LEAST amount of Sephiroth in it.
UGH
