When it comes to the most impressive villain in the history of the game, I believe many friends will blurt out: Sephiroth.
Since his debut in Final Fantasy VII in 1997, the character of Sephiroth has long been at the top of the major villain list, dominating the list for more than two decades.
However, for many new generation players, "Final Fantasy 7" has been a game work with more than two decades of history, the cg movie "The Advent of the Son", and the spin-off work "Core Crisis" have also been published for more than a decade. Many players are curious about why this character is so popular. Today, I will talk to you about why Sephiroth has been able to become the most popular villain in the minds of players for many years.
What was the first word that came to mind when you first saw Sephiroth? Definitely "handsome".
Sephiroth's popularity once again tells us a truth, a villain wants to be hot, first he must be handsome. It turns out that Sephiroth's personality is almost at the peak of the two-dimensional realm. To this day, we can still find the shadow of Sephiroth in countless villains of later aCG works, such as Uchiha ban in "Naruto" and Wei Zhuang in "Qin Shi Mingyue". Even Laswell of se's own work, Final Fantasy: Apocalypse of Courage, is similar to Sephiroth in terms of human design.
In addition to his handsome appearance, the blackening experience of Sephiroth's characters is also quite convincing to players. Unlike the villains in some games and anime now, they are deliberately blackened in order to blacken. In Final Fantasy 7re, which will be released next year, we will be able to relive Sephiroth's blackening journey again.
Of course, Sephiroth's ascension to the altar is also inseparable from the excellent qualities of "Final Fantasy 7" that year. In those days, Final Fantasy VII was as powerful as Avatar's impact on the film industry. In 1997, when 2D graphics were dominant, 3D games like Final Fantasy 7 came out and achieved a slaughterly dimensionality reduction blow to the game world.
At that time, Sony's game empire had not yet been established, and the console market was basically a Nintendo family. In this case, se still resolutely threw itself into the Sony camp, and the original ps also gained a foothold in the console war with the horror sales of "Final Fantasy 7".
Under all kinds of favorable conditions, it is not surprising that Sephiroth was enshrined in one fell swoop.
However, interestingly, due to The popularity of Sephiroth, Se was reluctant to let him retire so early, but arranged for him to continue to appear in related works such as "Core Crisis" and "The Arrival of the Son". He has appeared in as many as eight Final Fantasy series.
In particular, he recently appeared again in the popular mobile game "Final Fantasy: Apocalypse of Courage". At present, "Final Fantasy: Apocalypse of Courage" has been officially registered in the national service by the Agent of Xishanju. At present, the ios side has taken the lead in launching, and the Android side is about to officially meet with players in October.
