I played the demo and enjoyed it for the most part. The combat is a bit floaty, and I hope the game isn't as linear as the demo.

There was a promotional video for FFX, I want to say it was on the Spirits Within soundtrack? But on the video there was narration and the narrator called him "tee-duss" and I was like whaaaaa?

Well, in this instance, the creators are wrong. It is straight up "TIDE-US" . Fits his water theme.

Sidhe aren't mechanical monsters being piloted by another mechanical cat that shouts at it with megaphones. That Cait Sith is pronounced Kate Sith(like Star Wars).

Plus, knowing the correct pronunciation of "sidhe" is extremely rare, in America at least. I know so many people who go on and on about their "Celtic roots" but don't know what the Sidhe even are lol

FF7 is a good game because it is the exact opposite of a CRPG. No dialogue skill checks because everyone basically has zero dialogue skills. No hallway traps. When two characters bang in front of the entire party, the screen doesn't fade to black they just bang it out on the floor with everyone watching.

When I was a kid my father overheard a friend and I talking about Sephiroth, and started to call him Zé Farofa, and as absolutely hilarious as that is to me and everyone who speaks Brazilian Portuguese I'm having a really hard time translating the joke, I am so sorry.

Edit: Google Translate being a hero and calling him Joe Crumbs.

The thing about Seffy is that while a moody guy in a long black coat with white hair and a big katana was basically the coolest thing in the world to 11 year old me, he's going to seem like such a doofy poser oval office now.

I hope they get the scenes right on the way to Nibelheim where he's acting like a basically normal guy with the other soldiers.

Cloud: So hey Joe what do you do in your free time?
Sephiroth: Real talk? Like one hundred percent? I like to play the saxophone.
Cloud: Shiiiiiit man for real?
Sephiroth: Yeah when I retire I want to make a band you know, call it Seph and the Numbers maybe. Or Jen and the Reunion.

Sephiroth is introduced to us after our heroes were total scrubs and got owned by Shinra twice. We don't see him, we just see the devastation he wrought and that he easily killed our most hated villain at the time, President Shinra. None of our heroes could lay a finger on him but Sephiroth impaled him.

Then we get Cloud's flashback in which Cloud is totally worthless and dies in a couple seconds while Sephiroth slices up dragons and uses Level 3 All Magic and takes no damage from everything.

Then we see this scene where he just obliterates the fearsome Midgar Zolom.

Disk 1 is largely chasing after an all-powerful ghost, seeing nothing except the devastation he leaves in his wake. We don't know what he really wants or what he's really up to but we do know he's insanely, unbelievably powerful.

I think the storytelling behind Sephiroth is masterful. There's mystery and awe to everything he does.

Yeah. The excuse that "oh everyone knows who Seph is so why keep the mystery" and letting that pour inside the storytelling is extremely weak. The guy is just a name that holds no meaning until he suddenly shows up and do your party's job for you off-screen and hey, look, you're saved. Then the Midgar Zolom is essentially a mini roadblock. Presumably you'd try to cross, get your rear end kicked, then do a whole thing with a Chocobo and cross it again, only to see the thing impaled in a scene that is a bit more gruesome than the rest of the game.

You can know who Sephiroth is and there's still a tension building up at the Shinra HQ, precisely because he wasn't paraded.

i've only played the demo once but i've been thinking about it the last couple of days so i think that's a good sign. i like the gameplay, it felt good to move around and hit things. i want it to be much more than that but it's a good start.

kinda wanna play the demo again but i don't want to dampen my appetite for it when the game comes out in a few weeks.

I always found that to be the appeal of his character. Sephiroth is insanely powerful and dangerous, sure, but he also wants to be seen as a savior figure even though nobody ever cares about what he wants to do or tries to accomplish.

There’s two key scenes where he’s actually trying to have a conversation with the gang. One when Aerith dies and he’s straight up told nobody cares about his pseudo-religious bullshit. Later, he tries to break Cloud by revealing that his memory is all hosed, and when Tifa freaks out and tries to stop him, Cloud just goes “relax, it’s just Sephiroth, we all know he’s full of poo poo.”

Nobody even tries to argue that he has a point or tries to talk him out of it. Just “this guy is supes dangerous and also batshit insane, how do we foil his schemes?” Sephiroth was always a dorky poser, rather than a badass.
