Sephiroths Wake
Newbie
Since completing Crisis Core the other day for the 1st time (I got a bit bored of it at one time and didn't get it ages anyways 'cause I'm pro broke, yo), I've been thinking about a lot. The ending is left pretty open imho and could have been done better. Nontheless I was very moved by the game in general but one thing in particular has been plagueing my mind;
In Final Fantasy VII, Sephiroth is the 'One Winged Angel', his theme tune is named 'One Winged Angel', in Advent Children he has one wing, he's the One Winged Angel. Now, on the 10th Anniverary of FF VII we're introduced to Sephiroth's friends; Angeal and Genesis.
Now, I understand why these 2 also have their own wing but this is where my point comes in. Sephy, despite people's various opinions, does in the end turn out to be one hell of a guy and I believe this whole 'wing' thing helps that. Now in Crisis Core both these 2 new characters Angeal and Genesis both have wings and for some strange reason Zack wants one! (I expect turbulance to be heavy on one of those things. ) Anyways...Where was I...Oh yeah! I got thinking that the fact these also have wings may actually degrade Sephiroth as a character and the main villain in Final Fantasy VII.
In the original game this guy was leet, super strong and super annoying and his Supernova did my super head in with its super cast time. We've since been introduced to the compilation series of VII and taking AC in mind (I don't believe they made out Sephy to be as powerful as he really is I mean take the end when he gets chopz0rd...) and then Crisis Core (That scene with the 3 in the training room was A-O-K) it kinda makes out that Sephiroth was nothing more but the Survivor just because he went and locked himself in the Northern Crater. Personally, I think this degrades Sephiroth. The 3 were pretty strong each in their own right Angeal was a bit of a 'uhh what?' but Genesis and Sephiroth had a bit of a go in the cut scene and it seems obvious they're powerful as hell. It seems the only reason Sephiroth is now around is because he got a good bit of MotherJ over there whilst Genesis got slapped around a bit by Zack and the whole 'degredation' process whilst Angeal kinda got caught in the middle. and got flopped up with Lazard somehow.
ANYWAYS through all that babbling my original point is; does the presence of Genesis and Angeal in Crisis Core make Sephiroth any less 'special' in his own right? I believe so but what do you guys think?
