This is the WORLD where I write my musing about manga/anime/video games and make comments on certain aspects. It's just a little something to stir up a conversation so please don't take me TOO seriously on the things I write here. I'd love to hear your opinion so feel free to comment.

More Sephiroth Musing
WARNING: The following content may contain spoilers for the videogame Final Fantasy VII. Read at your own disgretion.
You know what is just tragic about Sephiroth's character? He's acting on completely false pretenses. After all these years, he's still going around thinking he's a badass because his "mother" was a Cetra. Which it totally wrong! His mother was a completely normal human woman who got injected with Jenova cells. And even then, Jenova wasn't a Cetra at all. Actually they never explain what Jenova is..."Calamity from the Skies"--what the hell does that mean?! Okay, she's an alien. (Actually, that's kind of gross. You've got alien cells in you that make you crazy. Gross.) I think probably Kadaj and the gang are better fitted to call Jenova "mother" because they're clones--they weren't really "birthed." But still, they have the same genetic make-up of Sephiroth so I'm sure they've got some Hojo and Lucrecia DNA in there somewhere.
So I'm really curious what would happen if someone just broke the news to Sephiroth. "Hey, man, you're actually not Cetra. You're just a genetically altered human. Don't sweat it." He'd be going through serious identity crises, I'm sure. Not that I think it'd make him any less crazy because Jenova cells just seem to have that effect on people (even Cloud went through a bit of crazy in the game) but maybe he'd be a little less full of it, you know?
Villians
So I was watching cutscenes for Final Fantasy IX the other day and reading people's comments and everyone's like, "Kuja is way more bad-ass than Sephiroth!" I'll agree he's a creeper but I never really thought about how well he rates on the "evilness scale," if you will. Someone else wrote that Sephiroth is overrated because all he could ever do was TRY to blow up a planet through the entire game but Kuja did blow up a planet in a matter of moments. I've got to hand it to Kuja--he did blow Sephiroth out of the water on that point. I guess his looks are deceiving.
Have to say though--his design for Dissidia looks pretty good.
End
