@@noahdeni6910 Sephiroth has been listed as 185 cm[3] and 6'1"[4] in previous sources, but is depicted in Final Fantasy VII Remake as 6'7". The blade's exact length varies, usually measuring at least as long as Sephiroth is tall or slightly longer, which would make it approximately six-to-eight feet long. This came from the wiki to save me time but as someone who has played every ff7 related media there is no way he is only 6'1" when zack was 6'3" before ccr.
TBF, it being in Latin is core FF style. Dunno how it has been after 7, tbf, but up to 7 the entire thing has been rather pre-modern European cultures through a japanese pov, with some dashes of Indu and Arabic (probably a few others). Rather European renassaince ideals through a Japanese lens, basically. Sephiroth is basically an evil Jesus (many parallels/perversions, but the Genova/Jehovah name similarity, death and ressurection, and his second coming is supposed to bring about the end of the world, these should ring all the bells really), so church choir in Latin is definitelly par for the course.
@@Vayne_Solidor But none of them strike fear into your heart the way Sephiroth does. What matters is that the fight _feels_ like an ordeal. Some difficulty is nice, but too much of it and you just cause people to smash their controller in pure rage, ruining any semblance of fun.
@@Vayne_SolidorI mean that’s just a perspective you know? Personally my first time playing through I had a very difficult time defeating Sephiroth, as I didn’t know where all of the materia was and stuff. I hate looking things up and like to experience a game for what it is by myself. (Granted I was 13) but I get that there are probably more difficult bosses for everyone but personally this is one of the more difficult fights that I remember. Especially Bizzaro😰😰
@@RavishingPimp Exactly! Internal rage. I can totally relate to it. Back in my past i used to be a lot more pissed off than i am these days. No one knew as i dont show my emotions but i use them as motivation.
I was there in the beginning, witness to the birth of what became meme. I was but a child filled with emotion I didn't understand, the need to fight, the need to fight harder, to take down something greater than me.

"Omnia dicta fortiora si dicta Latina" Roughly, "Latin makes anything sound more badass" (lit. "Everything said sounds stronger if said in Latin," if you're keeping score).
The second last part of the chant intrigues me. "Come come you should come, Please don't let me die." Is the song acknowledging Sephiroth's reliance on Cloud and the party for his plan? From what I see, Sephiroth, the true Sephiroth is physically stuck in the Northern Crater. If Cloud were to die or be incapacitated, Sephiroth's plan to unseal the Black Materia and have it delivered to him will be stopped cold. Who else other that Cloud and his party is capable of pulling off such a feat and arduous journey?

I like to imagine the latter half of the song's vocals are meant to be pleas to the Mako inside of Sephiroth or to J.E.N.O.V.A., because it just makes so much sense in terms of his descent into madness and fits so well with his realization that he is a monster, which, chronologically, is the first time this song plays, that being in the Nibilheim Reactor during Crisis Core. Generosa and Gloriosa would be his praise of what he sees as the ultimate lifeform on the planet, J.E.N.O.V.A.
This song, in one form or another, has been my ringtone since I got a cellphone 20 years ago. That will never change. I've even had random employees hear my phone go off in a store and they heard it and came around the corner and say, breathlessly, "Was that One-Winged Angel?" Much joy was shared. ^_^
I thought I was ready for Sephiroth until this started playing…psyche, I still was was, may he be 100 times stronger in the remake- in ten years when we face him again.
You kids dont even know what its like to grow up and have this as a trigger. I was there in the beginning, boss music is what we work too, the ost is part of me
The first half of the lyrics are basicly the Planet shaking in fear because of Sephiroth and saying how his fate of unyfing everything under his Goddship. The second half u asked for is "Jenova" so his believed mother, calling him for help as she is close to death because of Cloud defeating her last body fragments, this is also usually the time Sephiroth launches his first supernova as he gets really desperate and under pressure as he hears her cry for help. I hope its now a bit clearer.

Just don't fight him.

I like how the lyrics are like "He's so angry oh my god"
and then Sephiroth is passive agressive as best
but he's angry inside

man is angry though
bro, hes seething on the inside though. and he cant cope.
You sure the song for sephiroth?
This song set the definition of the meme "Why do I hear boss music?"

The intro is what dose the anxiety thing dose the job well

Timing the Latin choir to him casting Supernova was so scary!
Let's admit it that this song is legendary
Remember when challenging overpowered folks like sephiroth he must be defeated before his theme comes on. Once they play his theme ITS OVER!
If you hear his theme your fate is sealed
BETE NOIRE AND SIGMA COULD LEARN THIS THE HARD WAY
Especially if it's in Latin
mainly because you give up the battle to hear the song play

I learned something new today! Thank you!
The song you hear when you opened the math test paper
These are the words he was reading over and over in book after book repeating them until he finally learned what he was
If you want to make a boss epic (in a game or rpg), do a song with just two things:
A chorus in a dead language
And classical instruments
It sounds so simple but it's true!
Epic movie/game OSTs have so much to thank for to Bach and Wagner
Me boutta make a not very threatening boss a song in indo-european (whispy Woods bouta be violent vegetation):
Best villain theme of all videogames history. Prove me wrong
Nothing even comes close lol
I don't know Dancing Mad from FF6 gives a good for its money
Phantylia boss theme from hsr and Laurence Bloodborne

Dancing Mad. Musically accurate "anger" vibes unlike one winged angel.

I hope, if time travel is ever invented, someone travels back to Ancient Rome and plays this song.
Wonder what they would think.

This is going to be very useful, I’ve been wanting to know more than just “Estuans Interius Ira Vehementi”.
Sors immanis et inanis
Sephiroth can be translated as "death" too...
His name means Strange/Special Tree in Hebrew/Jewish it fits him because of him having a strange/unknown origin/strange bloodline 🤓
VENI VENI VENIAS 🔥🔥🔥 NE ME MORI FACIAS🔥🔥🔥🔥
Cool.. I never knew the song meaning all this time.. Just seeing sephiroth morph for 2nd n 3rd time in battle
This was n still is my FAVORITE boss theme song because of the choir
As simple as the song is it's still MENACING.... ITS PERFECT.
Sephiroth essentially became the very thing he swore to destroy.
I thought I was ready for Sephiroth until this started playing…psyche, I still was was, may he be 100 times stronger in the remake- in ten years when we face him again.
Still the gold standard for final boss music
You're not a villain until you have a theme song sang by a Latin choir.
As a Roman Catholic, I REALLY want this to play in Latin mass one day. Scare the priest a little.
It sounds like Sephiroth is suffering from a UTI.
Veni veni venias, ne me mo ri facias, Veni veni venias, ne me mo ri facias,
You can hes evil cuz his themes in latin
You kids dont even know what its like to grow up and have this as a trigger. I was there in the beginning, boss music is what we work too, the ost is part of me
Sephiroth has landed in Smash, and he is ready to begin despair to everyone who dares to defiy him.
This works for Darth Vader too
I cannot wait for the remake version of this I screamed as a kid in that last battle. Probs gonna do the same as an adult 🤣
I can't for the planets and the sun just get destroyed in the next month
Thank you
“Augh…what is this place-“
“Estuans interius
Ira vehementi
Estuans interius
Ira vehementi
*Sephiroth*
*Sephiroth* “
pls do "Cantata Mortis"
This is gonna be my new battle theme
Cool
I was listening to this at 3 a.m

Wait but theirs another video woth dofferent lyrics

When you realize the song is really about God’s anger, you play it to praise him instead of paying homage to the final fantasy character.
It should be AESTUANS, though 😅

This is probably imposing, but as someone who has sung the Carmina Burana many times before those lyrics just... aren't impressive anymore
