Ah
yes, good old Sephiroth. We already talked a lot about him but I want
to devote a couple of paragraphs to how the remake will affect him.
Don't worry he won't change into a woman or cut off his hair, but he
will likely won't be the same either.
Simply
put: Sephiroth is insanely popular. And it would be bad business not
to capitalize on that popularity. So we might see a bit more of
Sephiroth in the remake. For example there is that part when Cloud
and Sephiroth go to Nibelheim in the flashback and Sephiroth is a
party member. You can't control him so you just watch as he
automatically kills dragons without lifting a finger. Well as VIII
and X showed us: It is totally okay to give us control of the villain
and get a taste of power. This would be a perfect opportunity to ride
the Sephiroth bandwagon. Also every time we find him, well one of his
clones, he throws a materia or a Jenova fragment at you and flies
away. We never get to have a decent swordfight with him. We never
battle the normal Sephiroth. The final boss battle doesn't count.
Speaking
of flying away. Thanks to One Winged Angel Sephiroth is required to
show off his single black wing, despite him not having one in the
original game. It is everywhere. Crisis Core, Advent Children,
Dissidia, Kingdom Hearts. It is pretty safe to assume that the wing
will appear in the remake as well.
Aaaand
that's pretty much it for our bad guy. We covered most questions
concerning him in previous chapters, but I wanted to get these two
out of the way. Next stop, the wandering swordsman.
