Sephiroth

Sephiroth
Final Fantasy VII
Voice Actor	Toshiyuki Morikawa (Japanese) / George Newburn (English)
Concept	Blade Master (Japanese) / Focused Blade (English)

A legendary SOLDIER operative who wields an impossibly long blade with great ease. In battle, he combines that reach with incredibly swift swordplay that crushes the opponent in the blink of an eye. In the original game, he was Cloud's nemesis; a former member of SOLDIER with unparalleled strength. After learning he was created in an experiment called the Jenova Project, Sephiroth plotted to become a god by unleashing upon the planet the ultimate spell, Meteor, so he could absorb massive amounts of the world's life energy.

How to Unlock Edit

In the Japanese version, purchase Sephiroth for 500PP from the PP Catalog. In the US version, Sephiroth is available from the beginning only in Arcade Mode. Acquiring him for all other gameplay modes is the same as that in the Japanese version. To access his alternate attire after unlocking him, buy it for 300PP.

AppearanceEdit

Sephiroth's design is a mixture of Amano's original concept art of the character and Nomura's refinements to him. He appears as a man of defined musculature. He is defined by his long, flowing silver hair with long bangs that frame his face and bright green eyes with distinct cat-like pupils. He wears a form fitting black coat featuring pauldrons and steel wrist rings adorned with multiple Materia-like beads. and a blue cloth from underneath the right one and a yellow and purple cloth underneath the coat.

Alternate appearanceEdit

Executioner - Sephiroth's first alternate costume strips him of his coat, mirroring his appearance in the scripted final battle against Cloud in Final Fantasy VII, showing off his upper muscular build. In EX Mode, his wing gets a faint blue hue.

Custom Coat - In Dissidia 012, Sephiroth gains a second costume which depicts him in his original appearance from Final Fantasy VII, removing the elaborate beads and sashes for a more simplified look. His bangs are altered so that they arc from the top and stand at an uneven height to mirror his original appearance. In his EX Mode appearance, his wing has a noticeable transparency, as if to appear shadowy, resembling one of his CGI renders from Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children.

Kingdom Hearts Gear - A DLC costume which can be purchased from the Playstation Store, based on his Kingdom Hearts appearance, much like Cloud and Squall as they appeared in the first game in the series His coat is redesigned for a more darker/demonic flare and his hair is noticeably longer with a wider, more flowing mane. Like in the previous EX Modes, he gains a wing, albeit larger and stylized to resemble a demon with blue hues, which is where the one-winged angel basis for the Jenova subjects originated from.

Abilities
Edit

Sephiroth's battle concept is Focused Blade. As his concept suggests, Sephiroth is a master of his signature katana, the Masamune. This weapon has a very long blade, giving Sephiroth great melee range which he can use to his advantage. By landing one attack on the opponent, Sephiroth then unleashes a flurry of slices faster than the eye can see, dealing massive amounts of BRV damage in a short span, and easily catching his opponents off guard. Most of his attacks revolve around single button presses and pauses inbetween attacks to fully maximize their potential as they deal multiple hits in rapid succession. In addition, he is able to perform lengthy combo attacks by dodge canceling many of his moves, making his bravery game quite good. However, he suffers from an inability to link brave attacks to HPs, and while his HPs work well in general area around him, many of them are very obvious, often making it hard to get the final hit he needs to win. Thus despite having a long reach, Sephiroth keeps up a better fight if he stays close to his opponent.

Ex-Mode Edit

Reunion - Sephiroth sprouts his infamous black wing first seen in the Kingdom Hearts series, and later in the Compilation of Final Fantasy VII.

Ex-Burst Edit

Super Nova - Rapidly tap the O button to fill the Limit Gauge and perform a full Limit Break. Sephiroth unleashes a mighty wave of energy from his Masamune which knocks them into the sun. At the same time, the wave strikes the sun, causing it to swell into a supernova and consume the opponent in a hellish inferno. Sephiroth rises up moments later, paying homage to the Nibelheim Incident and the original "nova" created by Safer Sephiroth.. If the gauge is not filled up completely, Sephiroth will only slash at the opponent.

Ex-Bonus Edit

Regen - HP slowly regenerates over time
Glide - Hold the X button while airborne to glide (will slowly decend)
Heartless Angel - Hold R+Square to drop the opponent's BRV to 1. The player can move about to dodge any attempts to stop the charge but will stop dead in place when he is about to blast the opponent. Heartless Angel still reduces the opponent's bravery to 1 even under the effects of Summon Stones that guard Bravery, including the variations caused by Chaos' Shinryu. This attack requires around 5 seconds to execute, leaving you completely open to attacks during this time. However, the charging can stop any time you release the Square button.

Equipment Edit

Sephiroth wields Katanas and Polearms for weapons, and for protection he wears Helmets, Light Armor, Heavy Armor, Shields, Gloves
