Sephiroth and aeriths time in the life stream

[ThEpRoMiSeDlAnD]

I wanna get those books so bad. Where can I get them? Kind of like THE examples for good and evil.

lol i never actually thought of it like that, i wanna find these books also i here there really hard o find.

[Shigunetheseraph]

Oh, really. Never knew.

[smilie]

I always thought they were exclusive in Japan.

[ThEpRoMiSeDlAnD]

I think so because those passages had to be translated damn i wish i new Japanese lol

So, um, lemme get this straight...

The only two ways to stop Sephiroth from coming back are to inflict amnesia on Cloud, or kill Cloud.

Well, Cloud shoud've really just committed suicide, it'll save everyone a LOT of trouble. [I'm kidding about the suicide part, of course, but just the suicide part.]

[ThEpRoMiSeDlAnD]

Exactlly so if anyone ever wishes to get rid of sephiroth they have to hit cloud in the head with a hammer and make him forget lol

All in favor of hitting Cloud on the head REALLY hard?

[Proximately]

Hey if there was only one person that could make my exsistence everlasting then i would love him to (no homo of course) think about it because of cloud sephiroth will never truly die.

Except... for when Cloud dies. <.<

[Shigunetheseraph]

Kind of reminds me a lot on how some characters cannot exist without their counterparts. If one dies, so does the other.

This is pretty damn interesting, and explains Sephiroth's seeming obssesions with Cloud in Advent Children and Dissidia: he's using him to stay alive.

Dissidia is explained simply by virtue of being a reference to the original source materials. But Sephiroth has always had something of an obsession with Cloud, due to the defeat at Nibelheim. Despite the fact that some people believe this motivation was hastily tacked on, if you look back at the original game, a lot of things start to make sense when viewed through that perspective. Most notably, why on Gaia would Sephiroth devote so much time to destabalizing Cloud's--& only Cloud's--mental state?

The only two ways to stop Sephiroth from coming back are to inflict amnesia on Cloud, or kill Cloud.

At this point, pretty much. But then you still have the problem of Sephiroth being in the Lifestream. At present, the way I figure, there are only 2 ways to defeat Sephiroth:

1. Make him have another heel face turn, back to the good guy he was before.
2. Introduce new information to the Compilation. Something that can weaken him.

And then there are those who believe he's already been killed off for good, but they're hardly worth a mention.
