Can't find much to discuss. Still upset over Street Fighter 5.

Basically imagine if The Thing got away and attempted to assimilate into society.

And you have Parasyte. Though its a bit different in that the copy aliens infect and take over hosts rather than eat them

i thought you would be into horror stuff ram

so why exactly did jenova decide to make sephiroth her

what's the word

envoy of sorts?

like why was sephiroth specifically chosen as her avatar through most of the story

because from what i know most of sephiroth's appearences in-story isn't actually sephiroth, but jenova

It's not the comments. It's that I finally understand why people are so upset, and that's got me worried.

I just need to wait for the game to get more content, then reception will probably lighten up.

Well, he wasn't really "chosen". Sephiroth exists because Hojo decided to knock up his wife, Lucrecia, and they shot the embryo full of Jenova cells. He was technically the first successful Soldier (we find later there's a whoooole lot of attempts that didn't work out because they didn't try it out in-utero the way they did with Sephiroth). So he's the very first, and also the one most intimately bonded with her, since he's pretty much a genetic ouroboros with her. He was never not infected. She didn't make him her envoy, he kind of chose it in a way. He found Mother Dearest and decided "fuck it, everyone that ever used me dies".

Which is why Sephiroth only actually appears in person like three times throughout the course of the story — its her cells, shaped in his image, because he's the one "calling the shots", as it were. Again, it's questionable how much is just what he's inclined to do because of the virus, and how much is his own free will, and even more questionable if there's a difference at all simply because of what he is.

nobody ever does and it's not fair

Everyone just goes "lol mamma's boy with no motives behind him, he's for fourteen year-olds, Kefka is better"

nobody knows how much backstory vii had for everything

vii is like 60% backstories

except for Cloud's mom, she doesn't even have a name

considering that i already had ff7 figured as a Well Written Game i always was skeptical of the "mamas boy" jokes but damn that's still some heavy shit

now if only he had a bit more p e r s o n a l i t y

he doooessss don't you start this discussion with me

just 'cause they don't have him go GRR THAT MAKES ME MAD the way kefka does doesn't mean he doesn't have a personality

although fun fact they were originally just gonna make Sephiroth another Kefka but then decided that was lazy

Early development VII was weird. It was gonna be set in New York. Cloud was gonna look like this. Sephiroth and Aeris were going to be brother and sister and also lovers. Barret was gonna die due to blackness in a fantasy game.

KH Sephiroth isn't even fucking Sephiroth though. He's like the physical manifestation of Cloud's evil half or something that also acts like a jealous girlfriend while KH Cloud whines like a bitch over literally fucking nothing.

Seriously, they never ever explain why he's upset. They're sure as hell not gonna get into "I went to futuristic Unit 731 for five years and I'm not really over that" in a kid's game, so that didn't happen here. Probably same deal with "I watched my mother burn to death." All the friends that were dead are alive. Except Zack, but he never even met Zack in this game, and in fact appears to be older than him. Tifa and Aeris are after him for once (though it's implied Tifa isn't real either and is his "good half" so what does that make Cloud? Is he just no halves right now? Does his being consist solely of ambivalence?) He has several friends that he talks to on a regular basis, except Barret because he's black and black people are gross and not allowed. He's just sad Because That's How Cloud Do. Which is fucking bullshit.

Also that's not Zack that's Angeal, who's from the EU game Crisis Core. They reused the design and game him a bunch of shitty dialogue about honour and angels that makes no fucking sense.

i think the reason he was in the game was for the fact that he is a popular character

also

i'm not sure what you're saying

you really need to get off 4chan

or whatever chan you're on that's making you speak in incomprehensible not-greentext slang

Also Cloud wasn't even supposed to be in Kingdom Hearts. It was supposed to be Vincent, which is why he's inexplicably wearing Vincent's clothes. Cloud was swapped in at the last minute which is part of why that whole plot is a mess.

i don't want to talk about shitty Kingdom Hearts VII, it makes me mad

One of my friends in National Service who's a storeman told me of a guy in his unit who tried to explain the entire story of Kingdom Hearts to him.

Sure sounded like a fun time.
