Is been eighteen years since it came out, so let's finally answer the question once and for all: was Sephiroth cool?
Was yes
Is no
>>320954908
how do you pronounce masamune
>>320955186
masamune, but pronounce it like you were talking in spanish.
He was cool back in the day, then when the world was burnt out on The Matrix and trenchcoats and shit were passe, he stopped being cool for a while.
Now he represents a 90s anime style that's very appealing, and he's come back into fashion.I never stopped thinking he was cool.
>>320955186
Mace a moon.
>>320955186
Mass-uh-moon-eh
Only if you're a 15 year old fujoshi
>>320955186
Oh lawdy Massa moonay
>>320955492
>15 year old fujos in 2015
>Liking strong, driven men with no overtly homoerotic scenes
The fujos in a post Ouran world are a different breed. They don't even like Genesis.
He's still a disappointing choice for big bad when they wrote a "Lavos meets John Carpenter's The Thing" into the story.
>>320955186
>>320954908
no. he was never cool. like most characters in JRPGs he looks like a silly faggot. he was much cooler than cloud though, in keeping with every JRPGs tradition of making the antagonist faaaaar cooler and more interesting than the protagonist
>>320954908
His character development, as far as what they really needed from him, was inadequate.
>>320955657
is that Gackt?
I dunno anon. I rarely find anything "cool". I wouldn't say he's cool. I mean, he's a confused, desperate and angry man, trying to overcome his fears and with a desperate need to reunite with his mother. Also he's afraid of dieing since he tries to be one with the life stream. His fears are so big that he's willing to kill off an entire planet full of humans and other intelligent life forms just to bot feel like he feels anymore. To me he sounds like one big emo, and my god are emos whiny bitches.
>>320955186
Mass-Uh-Myewn
what does "Climhazzard" mean?
>>320955934
REDEEEEEEEEEEMPCHOOOOOOOO
>>320955186
Mother money but with a german accent
>>320955186
Mah-Samoo-Neigh
>>320954908
yes, his design, theme song (those chosen by the planet) and battle theme (OWA) are all iconic
>>320954908
Sephiroth's a cool guy but his design is bizarre and in no way reflects his character as an alien-boosted super soldier
>>320955186
Massa moon, ayy
>>320956071
It's spelled "Charizard"
Google it.
>>320955934
Yes, it's literally Gackt, did you not know or are you making a joke?
>Gackt has been a Final Fantasy character and a Kamen Rider
What a life he leads.
>>320955861
True. There is no transition whatsoever from bitter military dude to angry mommy issues messiah complex dude who thinks he's the child of the chosen people to mustache twirling world conquerer who knows he's the spawn of Satan.
>>320954908
i like how they introduce him with the niblheim flashback, it makes him mysterious and dangerous as fuck
but then they pull that shit with the clones, and the reunion of hooded guys and the mind control and he just looks sillier and sillier up when he reach the climax by randomly murdering aeris
then when you fight him at the end he looks silly as fuck with all the things and the pelvis of a giant chicken
what i'm saying is that he peaks early
>>320956071
Climb Hazard
>>320956198
>What a life he leads.
Well, it's not like he was on a FF game or a Kamen Rider series on their prime. I mean, Crisis Core and new Kamen rider for lonely moms.
But, he was in Malice Mizer, that was cool.
>>320954908
Yeah hes pretty great.
Like that time he kills your girlfriend and then throws a piece of his dead alien mom at you.
A total wildcard. I bet hes great at parties.
How new generations will react when Sephiroth slays Aerith?
>>320956632
NOT ENOUGH BLOOD
>>320956071
Crime Hazard.
>>320956465
Even before Crisis Core fleshed out his backstory a little, he wasn't an evil character. If you were a bioweapon treated differently from everyone else from birth, sent into places to slaughter people who could barely defend themselves against your powers and called a hero for it, and the only people you ever trusted turned out to be using you, you'd be a fucking mess too.
There is literally only one villain in the entire FF7 series,Hojo.
>>320956632
They won't. It's the gaming version of like and Vader. Everyone already knows.
>>320956632
they'll make youtube videos titled "AERIS' DEATH REACTION ;_;"
>>320956632
>I remember seeing this is in IGN's top 10 character deaths video
>yfw the current generation will find Cid to be problematic, misogynistic, stupid and old.
Teens react to FFVII fucking when
>>320955186
moss a moon ay
>>320956973
The new generation can suck on my cock
>>320956973
Wait. People back in the day didn't find him problematic, misogynistic, stupid, and old?
I mean, he's cool as fuck because he's a screaming, insane lunatic but he's objectively all of those things to begin with.
>>320955186
I always thought it wass pronounced "macemoon"
>>320955186
まさむね
>>320957187
>problematic
That word used in that context didn't even exist back then.
>misogynistic
It was just Sierra who he talked shit to, and it was explained that she fucked his launch up
>stupid
The guy is a genius engineer
>old
Always figured he was about as old as Barret.
>>320956632
Better Question: How did YOU guys reacted when you experienced it for the first time, memes aside?
>>320954908
He was only cool in Kingdom Hearts where Lance Bass was his VA.

>He was only cool in Kingdom Hearts where Lance Bass was his VA.
What?
>>320958376
I was normal until that particular song started playing. Then i sobbed.
>>320958393
I could have sworn he said "Sin's Harvest will take you" but that wasn't one of the sound clips in that video.
Also wow this sounds really bad outside the context of the battle.
Also, also the edge in this dialogue is painful.
>>320955186
masamune
>>320958907
It was you just misheard it, it's DESCEND, HEARTLESS ANGEL.
>>320954908
Everyone thought he was cool until people on the internet they didn't know said he wasn't.
>>320957575
>The guy is a genius engineer
I seem to remember him being all "I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE FUCK I'M DOING" during the submarine fight and the password sequence when you're getting the huge materia out of the rocket.
He's an astronaut and a genius but he loses his cool if he comes across anything above him.
>>320954908
hes so cool <3 XD Sephiroth x Tifa anyone????
>>320959451
He still manages to get it done though, I think it's more him not believing in himself when shit gets sketchy, but when it comes down to it he actually knows what to do.
>>320958376
Surprised. I wasn't sad or anything, probably because I didn't really use her and she wasn't that interesting a character.
The plot twist that happens immediately afterwards surprised me even more and I got a little emotional during Tifa and Cloud in the lifestream.
>>320955186
まさむね
>>320957187
I like to call him a cunt.
A cool cunt with a heart of gold way way deep inside him.
>>320955186

>infiltrate the ff fangirl market
>infiltrate the Japanese milf market
I want to wake up in bitches like Gackt does.
>>320958393
>Kingdom Hearts
>cool
You misspelled "autistic fanfiction" anon.
>>320958376
My literal reaction was "Aw man, she died" then went on playing the game without a care since cloud barret and tifa was always inside the main party with vincent as a sub because he's edgy and cool. he would've made it in the main party if his limit didnt suck donkey's dick. :)
