Final Fantasy VII Remake, The description to " The Turning Point" describes the experience as a vision created by Sephiroth: In the world beyond, Sephiroth shows Cloud a vision of the planet seven seconds before its demise. Having strayed from the course destiny set for them, they strike out on a path toward an unknown future. There is also the looming question of what fate awaits. Whether you have experienced the original title or will embark on this adventure with fresh eyes, we hope you will face the ending of this work on your own terms.” -Tetsuya Nomura, Creative Director The trailer also showed the return of Andrea Rhodea from the Honneybee Inn, so I'm hopeful for a brand new dance spectacular. Lastly, at the end of the trailer there's an extra detail PC players will be pleased about. An asterisked addition states: "Not available on other formats at least until 29/05/2024". This implies the earliest release date of the - presumed - PC version, meaning those players won't have to wait so long this time around after the initial PS5 release on 29th February.

In the Reunion Files, scenario writer Kazushige Nojima has stated that Sephiroth's goal is to take revenge on Cloud. His revival had been decided on early in the project, but not the exact reasons or means of how he would be revived. Among several other ideas discussed, one was that Sephiroth would return, but only Cloud would be able to see him.

Edge - 7th Heaven - Healen Lodge - City of the Ancients - Midgar - Midgar Wasteland - Northern Cave - Sector 5 slums church - Shinra Building Sephiroth felt different from other children but didn't know of the experiments that had created him. He never gained the ability to talk to the planet, as he is not a Cetra descendant, but Shinra noticed his exceptional physical prowess and raised him to be a super-soldier. Hojo trained Sephiroth to be strong in mind, body, and heart by forcing him to endure physical pain and suppress his emotions. He was taught a heart "ruthless and unwavering and devoid of hesitation" was ideal, and soldiers led by emotions were second-rate and dated. A new release date trailer for the game was shown at last night's PlayStation State of Play, which included a shot of Cloud and Sephiroth together in battle. In a follow-up interview on the PlayStation Blog, creative director Tetsuya Nomura confirmed Sephiroth will be playable.

FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH can be enjoyed on its own as a standalone adventure, with the party leaving Midgar to explore the wide world beyond. But for those wishing to deepen their understanding of the story, a recap of the previous game will also be provided. We hope that both fans and those who have never played FINAL FANTASY before will enjoy this game.” -Yoshinori Kitase, Producer In Dissidia Final Fantasy, Sephiroth's design in his base outfit is similar to his Final Fantasy VII design. His pauldrons are changed to resemble Yoshitaka Amano's artwork of him. His coat is closed by a belt as in Tetsuya Nomura's design. Beneath his coat are two white sashes with lavender on the edges, referencing both Amano's artwork of Sephiroth and his wings as Safer∙Sephiroth. Sephiroth's success spurred the transition on the battlefield to enhanced SOLDIERs produced through the Jenova Project. As told in Final Fantasy VII Ever Crisis, teenage Sephiroth was selected to be the poster child for a Shinra recruitment drive intended to find candidates for the SOLDIER program. A number of achievements and accolades were fabricated to portray him as a hero before he ever actually stepped foot on the battlefield. The most noteworthy piece (and a lingering fan favorite) is the song that plays during the confrontation with Safer∙Sephiroth, " One-Winged Angel". Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII- uses a slightly altered version called "Vengeance on the World (from FFVII "One-Winged Angel")", and another version called "Advent: One-Winged Angel" plays during the battle between Cloud and Sephiroth in Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children. In Final Fantasy VII Remake, "One-Winged Angel - Rebirth" plays in the final boss fight, divided into three variations, the second of which retains the most dedication to the original. The appearance of "One-Winged Angel" in every release in which Sephiroth appears has made it more widely recognized as his theme than "Those Chosen by the Planet".

He wields the Masamune (usually two-handed), a seven-foot-long ōdachi he is rarely seen without. His battle stance with the sword is to hold it over his left shoulder with the blade curving downward, known in the Japanese sword stance as Te Ura Gasumi No Kamae, which is primarily used in Ninjitsu and Tenshin Shōden Katori Shintō-ryū, the latter of which is one of the oldest extant martial arts. SQUARE ENIX ANNOUNCES FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH WILL LAUNCH ON FEBRUARY 29 FOR THE PLAYSTATION ®5 CONSOLE New Entry in Legendary RPG Remake Features Rich Storyline, More Playable Characters, Expanded Combat System and an Expansive World Designed for Exploration First released in 1997 on the PlayStation® computer entertainment system, FINAL FANTASY VII celebrated its 25th Anniversary in 2022. The game is universally regarded as a hallmark title of the RPG genre. The original title received high praise for its epic storyline, unique characters, and movie sequences that utilized the most cutting-edge technology of the time. Since then, the game has sold over 13.9 million copies worldwide and continues to receive widespread acclaim from critics and fans around the world. The popular game has even expanded into spin-offs, films and merchandise. Sephiroth was born to Professor Hojo and Lucrecia Crescent approximately twenty-seven years before Final Fantasy VII (exact date of birth unknown [2]). Hojo and Lucrecia were working as assistants to Professor Gast, Shinra Electric Power Company's top scientist, on the Jenova Project that studied the remains of an extra-terrestrial entity. Jenova was mistaken as one of the Cetra, an ancient people who had the power to "talk to the planet". Hojo injected cell samples from Jenova into the pregnant Lucrecia and her unborn baby. She carried Sephiroth to term, his fetal form merging with the Jenova cells as he developed. During her pregnancy, she would have frequent pains, fainting spells, and recurring nightmares of her son committing atrocities. After the baby was born, he was taken by Shinra scientists, and Lucrecia never had a chance to hold him.

We hope you will explore this world in great detail, as nearly 100 hours of adventure await. We hope you will take this new FINAL FANTASY game experience in your own hands to enjoy.” -Naoki Hamaguchi, Director Sephiroth was designed by Tetsuya Nomura, who wanted a story where the player would chase him. Following a moving enemy had not been done before in the Final Fantasy series, and Nomura thought that chasing something would help pull the story along. Director Yoshinori Kitase has later named Sephiroth as his favorite Final Fantasy villain, whom they had created to be "kind of like a mystery novel" to create the impression of an evil force.
