THIS.

People tend to be dismissive of FF7, but the original game was creepy as fuck and holds up fairly well even 15 years later. I would certainly rate the horror sections as being on-par with other horror games at the time like the original Resident Evil games and the creepier sections of Tomb Raider and whatnot.

I always thought he was a great villain. He wasn't just some baddy that stands up on a platform and yells his plans for world domination at you. Sephiroth's a villain who sits on the goddamn floor as he talks to you, or pelts you with helpful materia, or unlocks your prison cell, or completely ignores you, or impersonates your party members. All while accompanied by gross mutant alien shit and creepy music.

Agreed totally. A lot of the Sephiroth stuff is creepy as hell. Even creepier when you actually start to understand it.

Of course, I've always been a fan of the theory that the Sephiroth you follow is actually Jenova, and Jenova is the one pulling the strings. Explains why "Sephiroth's" behavior is so erratic and confusing when you follow him, among other things. Which makes it even more creepy, to me.

Either way, excellent villain. Ugh that trail of blood, and the dead Midgar Zolom, and ooh Aeris..

I think it's really interesting that the first time you actually encounter the "orinigal"Sephiroth (though... even that's open for interpretation?) is when you find the deep-frozen one. (That should totally be a new honorary title. "Oh Deep-Frozen One!")

But yeah, I always thought the "Dead Midgar Zolom" was especially creepy.
