    Sephiroth was such a polite and humble kid. He didn't know how to socialize yet but he was not afraid to admit his lacking in experience. Growing up with abusive father but still managed to become quite well put together is a feat. You might argue his mind is in shamble in the OG but he was quite compassionate towards his fellow soliders and subordinate which for me was quite well-put and he was humble as a General. I wish he got a friend that is compassionate like Zack to Cloud for all his youth which could have helped him to not falling apart in that Shinra basement years later on.

    This is so good and so tragic. It feels cathartic to finally see the extent of the trauma he went through. He wasnt just a heartless fake hero, he was seriously emotionally neglected and abused, forced to lie to himself and others and not treated as human. Such a shame things didn’t turn around for him.
    He never saw himself truly able to be anything else. Even if he hated being a "hero," he was never able to see himself as more than what shinra and the populous said he was, to the point he didn't even try.
    He might've been able to run away and live in secret somewhere, he's strong enough he could kill anyone who would rat him out, but he stuck with people who didn’t care about him and further abused him because he had literally no one else. It's such a shame.

    I knew instinctually as to his persona that Sephiroth was meek, and a bit of a dork-dorks can tell and I certainly love his personality mirrors mine! And so humble. Shinra is so manipulative and corrupt. Not surprised.
    So it always kills me that such a sweet natured character has so many lovely qualities that a lot of people lack even with all the talent, power, abilities yet, he craves what we all take for granted, normality-if there is such a thing-I personally HATE the world. but haven't a decent life and parents been all that anyone should have.
    But even with that everyone can become a villain, by falling from grace! Just hurts my heart and soul not to take my Sephy under my wing and spoil the hell out of him of too much love and hugs! And I LOVE hugs! It's connection.
    Have to say I've always felt that Sephiroth even being middle aged adult-like myself *.* Reminds me of a child. There's the mama's boy and the innocence there but so use to violence as to being exposed early, makes him a lethal predator. And he's soooo good at it. >D

      It's because he was indoctrinated by Shinra into doing so. Not everything is his fault. He was trained from birth into becoming a ruthless killing machine by a corrupt mega corporation. Of course he would blindly follow their orders. He didn't know any better.

    • @MotherOfTheCrows
      @MotherOfTheCrows 11 месяцев назад +42

      Because that is Shinra’s campaign, and the writers are presenting Sephiroth in this story as a conditioned child soldier that openly says he doesn’t want any of it. He is about 13-14 here-a puppet for a disgusting, imperialist organization that is gladly wiping out a race of people for their own gain and LYING about their own favorite child soldier being their warrior hero before he even steps onto his first battlefield. This miserable, brainwashed kid that was raised by that very company and people like Hojo is just going to be confused and follow orders because he has to. He can’t just leave either. He has no family, and we have seen what happens to traitors like Genesis, Angeal, Zack, and other deserters-Shinra hunts them down. Their super soldier golden child would be the last person they let leave freely. He is their attack dog.
      So you see, knowing all this, and then seeing Sephiroth say stuff like he wants to live a normal life, find his mother, or say that he doesn’t want to be a “hero” (Shinra’s definition of a hero, which is a genocidal conquest leader), or that he never wanted to be a “cyborg,” (that is, a modified human), is all very sympathetic. The story is trying to tug on your heartstrings with the little guy, and that’s on purpose. The devs kept saying we didn’t know Sephiroth and that this is a story about him when he was pure. The FF7 fandom has seen him as only a cold villain for years, but now we are seeing who he was before, which is basically a lost kid with horrible caretakers.
      He also is very conditioned in his soldier speak, but his words to Glenn about “kill or be killed” ring true for him because what else is he supposed to do? He was dropped on an island full of people trying to kill him because Shinra is their rightful enemy. He can’t stop and talk to them. He is under orders to wipe them out after being trained for it his whole life. If he fails, they will kill him if Shinra doesn’t get him in line first. He is screwed either way.
      And yes, it sucks for the Rhadorans. None of this is fair. It’s awful.
      But Seph may end up being compassionate like Glenn said, and maybe he will protect Rosen. We don’t know, but this story will probably show us why he questions Shinra later as an adult. He considers abandoning them in Crisis Core….right before Nibelheim…so…
      I mean, bro he killed KIDS in this story already but they were OTHER kids…
      His own damn peers…who were shooting at him and actually wounded him. None of this is fair at ALL.
      He is a child. He should NOT be in a war to begin with and doesn’t want to be….but who raised him to be there? Shinraaaaa. Always remember the real enemy that FF7 wants us to see, my friend.
