okay look

i know Sephiroth- as a character in general, and especially as a villain- is kinda played out

but c’mon guys for real here look at that face. look at the way his hands tremble

doesn’t it just break your heart? Sephiroth has never been this vulnerable, and he’s never this vulnerable again. this is not the monstrous god that Cloud will fight in the planet’s core, nor the one-winged spectre of wrath that will haunt him (and the FF franchise). this is just a broken man who lost his two best friends, and who has now learned he can’t even claim his human lineage as a point of pride anymore, because he has no human lineage (or so he is now starting to believe). it was all a lie. his entire world is crumbling
