There are many great antagonists in video games, especially in RPGs such as Final Fantasy. Sephiroth is the most well known boss in the series and fans have always loved him. Earlier this year, Final Fantasy VII Remake released and players got to experience brand new moments with the One-Winged Angel.
Though he didn’t appear in the game as much as the other popular characters, he was still very important to the remake’s story. Fans cannot wait to see more of him in the upcoming sequel. Until then, they can think back on the many memorable things he said in this installment.
10 “The Reunion Is Nothing To Fear.”
Throughout the game, Cloud has several hallucinations of Sephiroth, leading up to their reunion. When he and Aerith were getting to know each other, they encountered a strange man in a black cloak. His groans frightened the children around them. After he collapsed, he grabbed Cloud, triggering one of the ex-soldier’s hallucinations. Sephiroth said these words as he stood up, taking the place of the cloaked man. After the hallucination ended, Sephiroth disappeared and the man walked away. Cloud went on to tell Aerith that he believes Sephiroth is still alive, despite what she and the rest of Midgar believed.
9 “I Am Your Everything.”
In between being separated from Barret and Tifa due to one of Shinra’s machines attacking them and Aerith’s flowers breaking his fall, Cloud had another encounter with Sephiroth. This time, Cloud saw another version of himself who wanted to make sure he wasn’t injured. Asking who he was actually speaking to, Sephiroth responds, surprising Cloud. He woke up to the sound of Aerith’s voice.
8 “A Touching Reunion.”
Towards the end of the game, Cloud, Barret, Tifa, Aerith, and Red XIII find Jenova. The real Sephiroth appears in front of them. Cloud charges at the One-Winged Angel as his head begins to hurt and their blades clash, finally reuniting. Sephiroth pushes him back, causing Cloud to fall down from another great height.
7 “You Are Too Weak To Save Anyone. Not Even Yourself.”
Before joining Aerith after her flowers broke his fall, Cloud had actually met her one other time. In the beginning of the game, the Whispers seemed to attack her. As she turned to face him, Sephiroth appeared behind Aerith and touched her shoulder, causing time to stand still. He walked over to Cloud and said this line.
Cloud’s head began to hurt until he heard Aerith asking if he was okay. Walking away from her, she ends up giving him one of her flowers. Little did the two know how much they would end up caring for each other.
6 “Those Who Look With Clouded Eyes See Nothing But Shadows.”
After leaving Shinra and battling against its members on the highway, Avalanche had their final encounter with Sephiroth, leading to the final battle of the game. They saw his feathers fall down from above them as he slowly descended to meet them. Aerith told Sephiroth that everything about him is wrong, to which he responded with this quote. Finally ready to fight him, Aerith, Cloud, and the rest of the party followed Sephiroth into a portal he created.
5 “Cloud, Lend Me Your Strength. Let Us Defy Destiny Together.”
Sephiroth’s goal has always been to defy destiny and destroy the world in order to become one with it. Throughout the game, he tried to convince Cloud to join him rather than retaliate. He made his final attempt of this in the middle of their last strife, to which Cloud refuses, leaps back, and points the Buster Sword, or whichever weapon players have equipped, at the One-Winged Angel.
4 “You Need Not Remind Me. It Was The Crowning Moment Of Our Time Together. But That Was Then, And This Is Now.”
Early in the game, Cloud sees Sephiroth and follows him into a burning alley. Thinking that he killed his former idol, Cloud was shocked to find Sephiroth alive. He was confused and told the One-Winged Angel that he killed him. This was Sephiroth’s response.
He went on to tell Cloud that the world was coming to an end. Cloud tried to attack him but Sephiroth and the flames surrounding them vanished. This was the first of many hallucinations.
3 “You Have Failed Again, I See. But Through Suffering, You Will Grow Strong. Isn’t That What You Want?”
After Shinra attacks Sector 7, many civilians, as well as members of Avalanche, are injured and dead. Unsure of what happened to his daughter, Marlene, Barret follows Cloud and Tifa to Aerith’s house, hoping that she is there. On their way, Cloud has another hallucination of Sephiroth, who walks towards him and puts his hand on Cloud’s shoulder before disappearing. The trio make their way to Aerith’s house, where Barret finds his daughter unharmed.
2 “That Which Lies Ahead Does Not Yet Exist. Our World Will Become A Part Of It One Day But I Will Not End, Nor Will I Have You End.”
In the final battle, Sephiroth faced against Cloud at the edge of creation. However, as he always relied on the man that once looked up to him, Sephiroth spared the ex-soldier and said these words. They both survive the strife, with Cloud and his fellow Avalanche members going on a new journey to defeat their enemy, which fans cannot wait to see in the second part of the remake.
1 “Seven Seconds Till The End. Time Enough For You. Perhaps. But What Will You Do With It? Let’s See.”
After Cloud refuses to join Sephiroth, they fight in an epic battle, resulting in Cloud’s weapon to be knocked from his hand. Behind him, Sephiroth leans in, murmuring these words into Cloud’s ear. Cloud turns around to find that Sephiroth is gone, with a single feather falling in his place. The true meaning behind these words are currently unknown as the world did not come to an end nor did either fighter. Fans have come up with multiple ideas on what Sephiroth could be referring to, making the next title more mysterious and intriguing. Players cannot wait to have this and many other questions answered.
