    Sephiroth cannot control anyone with Jenova cells in them. Only Jenova can. They just happen to be more or less working together, though the exact details of their internal dynamic are unknown.

    • @kdog145

      Pretty sure Sephiroth can control Jenova cells because he spent time in the lifestream and gained the necessary knowledge to control Jenova

    • @SubduedRadical
      @SubduedRadical Год назад +1

      One thing I've wondered for a while is if Sephiroth is working with Jenova or if he's actually controlled by her/it. Keep in mind he was basically infected with it as a fetus, and if Jenova has mind control powers, she could control him for his entire life. For all we know, she always HAS done so. While that's not clear and PROBABLY not true (he was, by all accounts, a good soldier until his mental breakdown, where first was in abject rage before moving on into liking the whole thing - seems odd that Jenova would mind control Sephiroth to fake a mental break down and all the steps and stages of it).
      I remember reading a theory someone had once that the Sephiroth you fight (all interactions with him, in fact) after his death by Zack and Cloud's hands in Nibelheim was a Jenova mind-controlled puppet. But I really don't know.
      And then we have Remake's Sephiroth, who seems to be Sephiroth AFTER Advent Children, as if his soul went back in time to try to change things somehow where he wants (or needs) Cloud's help. This is kind of supported by Aerith also seemingly knowing events that haven't happened, even while seeing them and the timeline change.
      I think it's probably more correct to see that Sephrioth was a "perfect bonding" with Jenova cells like the T-Virus perfectly bonding with the one Human lady (was it Jill or...?) such that, for all intents and purposes, they're basically one entity at that point in some ways. That is, it's likely Sephiroth has access to all of Jenova's powers through her somehow.

      @@SubduedRadical I'll just poke 2 holes in this real fast.
      1. If she was controlling him there'd be no need for him to be in the Nibel Mansion basement reading up on the Ancients nor would that information make him so angry.
      2. If she controlled him it would've ended when you killed her before getting to him.

      @@chozengaming8547
      1. That was my point about "faking a mental breakdown". :)
      2. This one not really. Jenova is basically indestructible. Every time we kill a Jenova, it doesn't die. It breaks apart into cells. Jenova cells are the Black Materia. Recall when we beat the Jenova at the Northern Crater (the first time you go there when you find Sephiroth's true body in the crystal), when you beat that Jenova, you "Received the Black Materia" when Cloud and the party decide/realize that the Black Materia is just coalesced Jenova cells.
      As Hojo proved with the Reunion theory (though only Cloud made it), when Jenova is destroyed, it doesn't die. She breaks up into parts that scatter, but then are drawn back to each other like magnets. Apparently, the fragmented bits will possess hosts and stuff just to bring them back (like that one parasite that grows in cat bowels, comes out in their poop, then has to get back into cats to breed, so if it infects mice, it will rewire their brains to be less fearful and even like the smell of cats and cat urine so it will more likely be eaten by a cat; or the "zombie ant" parasites). So it's possible they possess animals (or even people) to try and journey back to the largest extant collection of Jenova cells that are on the planet.
      If we beat that, what's more likely is that those cells, too, spread, and whatever is currently the largest collection (unironically, that may be Cloud, who knows?) they will be drawn to over time, attempting to recombine again and again.
      And in addition to mind control, Jenova had powers of mimicry, able to take on forms, voices, and even personalities of people. That's how she infiltrated the Ancients' communities, posing as one of their people to worm her way into their various cities and communities.
      Even the Ancients didn't kill Jenova. They sealed her, possibly because they realized this.
      So this SPECIFIC point I don't think actually is a valid counter. Especially since Sephiroty, after we killed Jenova, would LIKELY have been the most concentrated Jenova cell cluster on the planet, and where her consciousness could have transferred to.
      ...which is altogether creepy to think about. Cat/ant parasites + Lavos + shapeshifting + effective immortality. Jenova is a menace, lol

    • @Yurikon3
      @Yurikon3 9 месяцев назад +1

      The whole Jenova+Sephiroth thing is kinda vague in the OG. I personally believe it is more like synthesis thing where Sephiroth is frontal picture and mouthpiece also carrying the "license" to Jenova's powers. Jenova is eldrich space-parasite which just takes forms of people imitating the loved ones of its prey but doesn't really have any deeper spiritual aspects in it, just base insticts. After Ancients beat it, it was left stagnant and unable to do much. Sephiroth with his power somewhat kickstarted new planet-contamination routine where Sephiroth's human desires mixtured with Jenova's primitive desires. Before Cloud throwing Sephy down, Sephy was still somewhat human, perhaps Jenova doing some small nudging behind his brain. When Sephiroth fell into lifestream, Jenova cells gained once again access to lifestream and were able to continue their shenaningas.
      In the end it doesn't really matter which one is in control cause their goals are aligned. Even if Sephy still controls Jenova, his goal is still to spread his "mother's" influence over everything. Something which would fit for Jenova anyway.

    FF7 is so easy that if EXP was distributed by a "split" mechanic I would argue that solo-Cloud would be easier than running with 3 party members.
    The game drip feeds you imba equipment throughout the game, so putting all of that on one character makes most fights (even bosses) "hold circle to win" affairs, particularly if that character were getting 3x exp.
    My favorite abuse is to give RedXIII the father's weapon, Gigas Armlet (more ATK) and berserk ring (more ATK/DEF). Even in disc 1 he'll be doing like 4k damage per hit. It's stupid.
    Alternatively, you can configure weapons/armor/materia for element/status attack/defense

      It definitely does not cause the player to take more damage, though; the amount inflicted remains the same. It is the Limit Fill rate that is directly affected.
      The same goes for Sadness; while Sadness does reduce the amount of damage taken, that is not the direct reason that the Limit Gauge fills more slowly. The Limit fill rate itself is modified by Sadness

      I just kept my party in Fury (once I realized what it was) for most of my first (and subsequent) playthroughs because...well...I like Limit Breaks. And LBs don't miss. And I don't miss ENOUGH with standard attacks to make it suck. And you learn bigger and stronger LB's faster using the weaker ones more often. It's pretty much a win-win.

      @@SubduedRadical Yeah, Sadness is very useful in certain situations. I would use Sadness for learning Beta from the Midgar Zolom to help survive the attack, along with the Talisman, Elemental + Fire etc.
      I agree with using Fury to learn the second part of the Limit Break level, but I would tend to stop using Fury once I'd unlocked it (the Limit Break). The thing is, I always used to do the same; keep my characters inflicted with Fury at all times, until I learned that it does actually significantly reduce your accuracy (physical and magical attacks). 30% reduction is a fair amount, but I strangely only started to notice it once I became aware of this affect. the "Once you see it you can't unsee it" effect.
      Character's Limit Break gauges take longer to fill the higher the Limit Break Level, so I normally stick to Lv2 or Lv3 Limit Breaks; even though they are weaker, I get to use them more often.
      One thing to note; the Mystile HUGELY improves your physical accuracy, so using Fury on a character with the Mystile will be absolutely fine. This also applies to the few weapons in the game that have a Hit% of 255 (one for Vincent and two for Tifa iirc).

    Haven't watched the video yet, but its a question I can answer very easily: Yes, you can.
    I know because I've done it before (as I'm sure many others have too), and its surprisingly easy. Not just because FF7 isn't particularly hard, but also because Cloud's stats are all high with no weaknesses, he's good with both physical attacks and magic, and his Limits are all powerful.
    This only goes for the main game though. Haven't tried to beat the optional bosses (Emerald and Ruby Weapon) with only one character. I imagine its possible, but considerably hard.

Not fun? I've only personally ever done one solo run of it myself, and that was the single time I beat Lavos on New Game Plus with only Crono at the Telepod before going to 600 AD the first time at the beginning of the game to get the Developer's Room ending. I didn't feel satisfied at all, especially since I just spent hours before experiencing the game with a full party and using combos. On subsequent playthroughs (especially the PSX version) I would just beat Lavos at the unwinnable Ocean Palace battle with an OP party during a NG+ playthrough whenever I wanted the Dev Room ending instead.
