One of the most striking scenes in the original Final Fantasy 7<\/em><\/strong> is the brief moment during Cloud’s flashback when Sephiroth joins your party. In that title, as opposed to Final Fantasy 7 Remake<\/em><\/strong>, players get only the merest clues about Sephiroth’s power and identity in the game’s Midgar Arc, and Cloud’s (faulty) recap of their shared history serves as the enigmatic ex-SOLDIER’s first proper introduction.<\/p>\n

In\u00a0Cloud’s Final Fantasy 7<\/em><\/a> recollections, he and Sephiroth were\u00a0assigned to kill a monster that has been wreaking havoc near Nibelheim. When they encounter the monster, it immediately one-shots Cloud, who at that point has laughably bad stats. Then Sephiroth takes over. He withstands the attack that killed Cloud, taking zero damage, and then one-shots the monster\u00a0himself.<\/p>\n

It’s kind of a cheap trick, in that it hijacks players’ agency and forces them to watch a rigged fight\u2014but it’s also effective. At that point in the game Cloud already seems pretty cool and plenty strong, but that scene establishes Sephiroth as a god by comparison, contributing to\u00a0his gravitas as one of the greatest villains in\u00a0Final Fantasy<\/em><\/a>, and video game history as a whole.<\/p>\n
