Message: [QUOTE="_-_AceDragon_-_, post: 211561, member: 18145"] Final Fantasy 7 is an epic story and presents a layered battle/struggle: Nature (lifestream & natural born human) Vs Mankind's corruption (shinra & human experiment) Ancients Vs Jenova Earthly power Vs Lovecraftian power Sanity Vs Psychopathy Reality Vs Illusion Healing/protection Vs Destruction/murder Free will Vs Servitude Loss of self / identity (literally) Vs Narcissism / egocentrism At the centre of these struggles are (mostly) Cloud and Sephiroth. Yes, Jenova is the calamity and perhaps source of power, but Sephiroth is the one weilding it. He physically regenerates himself to execute his revenge on the world that once revered him as a hero, all the while he's getting revenge on Cloud. Cloud did kill the actual Sephiroth after all. Sephiroth is the menace of the game and cause of fear in the characters / audience. Even the music (those chosen) says it all. The grandiose execution of Aerith is one of the most sadistic/shocking things I've ever seen. Let's not forget that moments before, he tries to get cloud to execute her first, which would have been even worse. Yes it was to stop her last prayer/spell but the way it was done and his smile, 100% sadistic Sephiroth. The true menace of the game. [/QUOTE]
