First Appearance: Final Fantasy VII (1997) Without doubt the coolest character of any Final Fantasy game, though Sephiroth is eventually vanquished by Cloud (assuming you got through the games lengthy campaign), it is still hard to argue that he isnt tougher than FFVIIs hero. Wielding that irksomely large Masamune and sporting his lusciously long platinum locks, Sephiroth is not only shockingly evil but somehow manages to look incredibly cool committing the many atrocities we witness. Without doubt the most memorable of these crimes is his slaughter of Clouds lady-friend, Aeris, arguably the most distressingly shocking twist in the history of video gaming. It is this unspeakable act against that much-loved character that demonstrates just how much of a badass Sephiroth truly is he is entirely devoid of any kind sentiment and is willing to trample anyone and everyone en route to his end-goal of becoming a God. It is the slaughter of Aeris that truly motivates Cloud to pursue the demise of Sephiroth. In order to defeat his diabolical nemesis, he must defeat the two formidable forms, before again doing battle with Sephiroth who exploiting his connection with the games hero enters Clouds mind. Horrifyingly tough to defeat, Sephiroth is certainly deserving of his place here.
