[James Leopold]

So, I can't remember if they ever made this truly clear. I know Hojo is the main man, but I heard of the possibility of Vincent being the father (due to his romance with Lucrecia), so anyway any thoughts?

Sephiroth's father....Hojo or Vincent?

[Avarice-ness]

I guess we'll find out on the next episode of Maury.

I was pretty sure it was Hojo though.

[Serapy]

If Hojo wasn't a scientist, that would thicken the possibility of Vincent being the father. He could have tested the Jenova cells and all of a sudden, he just found out that Sephiroth's DNA have matched his.

However, Hojo was crazy at almost most of the time so there's a possibility that Hojo tried to be more arrogant by claiming that he is Sephiroth's father. Hojo trying to deceive us into thinking that he's the god.

[Omecle]

Hojo is Sephiroth's father, end of discussion.

[Bolivar]

^ Yes.

As far as Vincent being the father, it has been speculated that the game implies that Vincent thought he was, as his reaction (if in the party) at the top of the Mako Cannon was a bit of surprise that Hojo was the daddy.

Damn this was a great game.

[PeneloRatsbane]

I'm pretty sure hes Hojo's.
If it were Vincent's then Lucrecia is unforgivable.
I think if Vincent had any thought that it might be his he would have stopped her.

[champagne supernova]

Yeah, it was Hojo. The scene when you fight him, as well as the Lucrecia flashback scene definitely lead to that conclusion.

[Big D]

Vincent might not have actually been romantically involved with Lucretia. They were close, and mutually attracted, and although Vincent loved her, that fell apart (for reasons detailed in Dirge of Cerberus) and she rebounded into Hojo's arms and an obsession with her work. Vincent's a smart guy, and likely would've known if there was a good chance of him being Sephiroth's father. He was sealed in a tank during her pregnancy, and saw the worst of things for himself. It's true that Sephiroth's originally cool demeanour and his good looks give him more in common with Vincent than with Hojo; however, Sephiroth's nature seems to be predominantly due to characteristics inherited from his "mother", Jenova, rather than his human mother and father. The flowing silver hair and inhuman eyes are a giveaway.
