Does anyone know the point in Sephiroth being in the film? He died in the game. But when he came back in AC it didn't seem like he was even killed this time. He vanished with a smile on his face and said that he won't be just a memory. Does this mean that he will be coming back? I mean he was beaten a lot worse in the game and he still came back so whats to say that he's finally gone? So does this also mean that Square will be making more sequels? O_o; They should hurry up and kill him off.

sephys never gone!
he origanlly died in the lifestream right! which means hes never gonna be gone!
like jenova!
...and stuff!

They should have finished it after the original game
Thats what i dont like about VII, all they do is change the story every 2 secs and make up coincidental occurences (like sephy not dieing...and him randomly mutating in the game)

Let's face it: Sephiroth is Final Fantasy VII.

[RubyLapiz]

Weren't all the sephiroth clones supposed to look like him, but they all fell short? I mean the sephiroth you know for the first bit of the game isn't even sephiroth. He was just a clone that Hojo made with a lady's unborn baby and some jenova cells.

So I think it stands to pretty good reason that if Kadaj got ahold of some jevona cells they could instantly mutate him into a grown sephiroth, since he's already grown. Or maybe it just makes a shell. What do I know!

No the sephy at the start of the game is a part of Jenova disguised as him, making it's way to the reunion. The real Sephiroth IS the child of Hojo and Lucrecia with Jenova cells injected into him.

And he didn't DIE in the lifestream. He was just frozen. If he was dead he couldn't summon Meteor and you wouldn't fight him at the end.

As far as we were concerned Sephy was dead. Now Advent Children tells us that He'll never be dead. Do you not see that all Square are doing is giving themselves more to work with in the story so they can milk it even more? They actually said that the compilation will go on for about another 10 years.

[Lachrymosa]

Why was Sephiroth in the movie? Two words: fan service.

But yeah, I wouldn't be at all surprised if they make more sequels and try and milk the FF7 fanbase for all its worth. Although, I think it's the FF13 compilation that's supposed to last 10 years. Which is pretty arrogant when they don't even know how the first one's going to be received yet, but that's another rant entirely...
