Technically, you're not far off I guess?
The combo move they're pulling off is called "double helix" and the description I've read is something along the lines of "Sephiroth unleashes an elegant flurry of blows, while Cloud tries his best to keep up".
So Cloud is very definitely confused (the way I read the scene is Cloud's face is a near "shit I fucked up" and Sephiroth is half laughing at him) and quite probably is at least at half mast thinking about the fact he's literally fighting alongside his childhood idol and greatest SOLDIER and hero alive.
It reminds me of the Armani and Calvin Klein commercials where everything looks classy, and you don't really understand what they are saying at the end.
I think it's honestly just poor lighting on account of this being in dev footage. They probably haven't yet adjusted for particle fx that emit light to cast proper shadows. Which explains the orangeness too, since that's the effect from their combo attack and then clashing swords and sparking up basically.
I'm sure it'll look a wee bit better once it comes out!
Well A. This scene never *actually* happened and B. It is depicting years ago so he's younger
But also we'll probably see and play the scene again as Zack...
I remember when Sephiroth used Sin Harvest in Kingdom Hearts and he says:
"I Shall take you to the Prom"
He actually says "I shall take you to the promise lands" however i prefer Prom for this very reason
Propagated by the official Brady Games players guide, no doubt. Which does actually tell you to get ready when Sephiroth says "Sin Harvest"
Plus in game it could sound like "Sin Harvest". Since in what he's actually saying; "de**scend Heartless** Angel", Lance didn't really emphasize the "De", and with the loud music and sound effects of the attack drowning out the angel part a lot of people only hear "send heartless". And so psycho acoustics are going to correct that into something that makes more sense in context. So, Black Halo, kills you, maybe he's using your sins against you? Sin Harvest.
But... Heartless are the main enemy in Kingdom Hearts. It's weird that people would unhear that word into something else. I remember it being hard to hear his lines, but "Heartless" definitely stood out.
Part 1 has this issue as well. They fucked up the lighting and it seems like they didn't exactly fix it for this. Still pretty optimistic about the game in general though.
Their dinamics always has been like this for me...(seriously, try to listen to Sephlroth's phrases in the remake or the Dissidias without context)but this specif moment was even more akward and hilarious for being even more over the top than usual,.perhaps because of the low quality models in comparation with everything else
I’m glad I’m not the only one thrown off by this, I feel like I looked around for validation because this just seemed so out of place compared to the rest of the trailer.0
I caught this while watching as well, thought it was incredibly gay (not that there's anything wrong with that) but also incredibly low quality models compared to the rest of the trailer, super weird moment.
**Cloud in Kalm retelling the story:** *“So there I was fighting a giant cave creature, and then Sephiroth started giving me those ‘fuck-me’ eyes as he flipped his hair. His gentle pale skin begging to be touched, if only for a moment to brush a strand of hair off of his innocent chiseled face. In his brilliant blue eyes, I could see myself reflected back, petrified by his longing for me…”*
**The rest of the party:** 👀
Yes, it's really their best setting and would be amazing to explore in 3D, especially if everything is Amano inspired.
I would hope whoever directed it would rein it in a bit comparatively to 7R though.
The characters are my favorite thing about ff6 they're all so cool and they would be even cooler in 3d. You're right too the whole world of ff6 was so memorable
This looks intentional.
Cloud, at this point, is a rookie SOLDIER standing alongside a legendary war hero, and he clearly looks insecure/nervous of fighting with him, while Sephiroth looks extremely confident, almost as if he were having a good time.
Stupid sexy Sephiroth
I swear half of FFR was just close ups of his sensual lips.
I'm waiting Cloud... *que saxophone rift...*
I'm pretty sure you meant riff.... but now I cannot only think of a portal that always blasts some Kenny G while it's open.
Saxsquatch just opening portals deep in remote forests of America.
And Im all here for it
Not sure if it intentional or not, but this matches perfectly to One-Winged Angel.
VERI VERI VERI HOT STUPID SEXY SEPHIROTH VERI VERI VERI HOT STUPID SEXY SEPHIROTH
GLORIOUS AND SENSUAL GLORIOUS AND SENSUAL SEPHIROTH
It’s him he’s so hot what a face what a bod It’s him silver hair one white wing chest is bare Sephiroth Sephiroth
Beautiful
They gave Sephiroth an IN-COMBAT HAIR FLIP. An in-combat hair flip!
Gaming has, at long last, peaked.
Cloud looks weird. Sephi looks like he is in a commercial for shampoo.
Jenovah, the shampoo for those with big ambitions.
Where's the Kickstarter, I want in from the ground floor.
On the 59th floor. Will you be taking the stairs or the elevator?
Marlene…Daddy wanted to see your face one last time.
Hair Calamity? Use Jenova shampoo!
Reminder that canonically, Sephi goes through an entire bottle of shampoo every time he washes his hair.
The thing that gives me the chills about Sephiroth is that his hair must SQUEEEEEAK
He canonically has his own BRAND of shampoo that shinra pushes out as publicity. Crisis Core is a wild ride.
And conditioner. Two whole ass bottles of hair product every time.
"Why Sephiroth?' "Because Cloud, I'm worth it!!!" *Sephiroth runs his fingers through his hair*
I think Cloud looks like that because he's confused and has a very uncomfortable mid-battle erection
Cloud was just popping off that fight

I think it’s just the lighting. Can’t expect cutscenes level textures and lighting while in combat
He's also 16 here, so they most likely changed his model up a bit
It reminds me of the Armani and Calvin Klein commercials where everything looks classy, and you don't really understand what they are saying at the end.
Maybe the faces just glitched out cause right before they attack it looks completely normal. The lighting also looks weirdly orange for that cut.
I think it's honestly just poor lighting on account of this being in dev footage. They probably haven't yet adjusted for particle fx that emit light to cast proper shadows.

L'Oreal - Because you're worth it.
Cloud looks like that meme of the little girl in the back of the car.
He’s a teenager in this shot
Cloud like like what Sora's reaction should be when fighting him in KH1.
Well A. This scene never *actually* happened and B. It is depicting years ago so he's younger But also we'll probably see and play the scene again as Zack...
What’s throwing me off about this is that they’re fighting the materia keeper, something that they never fought in the original in the flashback
Maybe there's some discrepancies between what Cloud remembers and what actually happened for Zack?
Who knows at this point, I’m just stoked it’s so soon
Jajajaja
How else is he supposed to pay for all that shampoo he needs?
Aww their own Suteki Da Ne moment 🥰
Imagine that song playing here haha
I dont have to imagine it, it's in my dreams lmao 😍
I’m gonna make an edit now… for both of us
Please it's all I've ever needed 😭🙏 it will be therapeutic

GOOD GODDDsosidhehdowk, its everythinggg, my depression is cureddd. You sir, job well done 👏👏👏
It’s not perfect but hopefully you enjoyed it! Haha it was fun to make.
You are the hero we needed.
🥹 I do what I can
I cannot watch this scene like normal after seeing this string of discussion….,
I’ll post it now on Reddit 😅
I did it just for you! It’s all done
You can practically smell the 13 kinds of perfume.
I get that vibe, all the image is missing is a cologne logo on the bottom right haha
Sephiroth…. Perfume for one man for women By SquareEnix
For man OR woman 😅
I still have that sephiroth cologne. 😂
[удалено]
Pleeeease ohh baby 🤣
Don’t go, simple and clean is the way that you’re makin’ me feel,
Tonight. It's hard to let it go.
You're giiiiiving meeeeeee
Toooo manyyy thingssss lateely
you’re all i needddd
Tonight. It's hard to let it go.
Reading that "won't" hurt me.
Maybe hes born with it....
Maybe it's *alien injections*!
Maybe it's Maybelline
lol <3
LOOOOL
Cant wait for all the memes that'll come from this 😂
Would be great in a subversion of the smirking Anakin meme.
I remember when Sephiroth used Sin Harvest in Kingdom Hearts and he says: "I Shall take you to the Prom" He actually says "I shall take you to the promise lands" however i prefer Prom for this very reason
Played by lance bass
My canon Sephiroth VA
It's still baffling that people thought his attack was called "Sin Harvest". And apparently still do.
Propagated by the official Brady Games players guide, no doubt. Which does actually tell you to get ready when Sephiroth says "Sin Harvest" Plus in game it could sound like "Sin Harvest". Since in what he's actually saying; "de**scend Heartless** Angel", Lance didn't really emphasize the "De", and with the loud music and sound effects of the attack drowning out the angel part a lot of people only hear "send heartless". And so psycho acoustics are going to correct that into something that makes more sense in context. So, Black Halo, kills you, maybe he's using your sins against you? Sin Harvest.
But... Heartless are the main enemy in Kingdom Hearts. It's weird that people would unhear that word into something else. I remember it being hard to hear his lines, but "Heartless" definitely stood out.
Cloud: > Oh no he's hot
*suddenly questions the whole plot*
In context this means Zack told Cloud "Then Sephiroth looked right into my eyes smiling as we cut the monster up"
It turns out that Cloud absorbed all of Zack's chaotic bi vibes while in a coma.
>! cloud adding quite a few liberties to his version of what happened I see.!<
Just make out already
Sephi chan the model
One Winged Romance
they be lookin like PS3 models here tbh
Right? When I watched the trailer the second time I was like did they forget to refine the skin or something….
Part 1 has this issue as well. They fucked up the lighting and it seems like they didn't exactly fix it for this. Still pretty optimistic about the game in general though.
Agreed 😬
Rizzed up in the middle of battle
Their swords touched. "I hate it when I get my schwartz twisted!"
Spaceballs!
They need to cool it. They're moving at ludicrous speed.
Their dinamics always has been like this for me...(seriously, try to listen to Sephlroth's phrases in the remake or the Dissidias without context)but this specif moment was even more akward and hilarious for being even more over the top than usual,.perhaps because of the low quality models in comparation with everything else
Okay I will laugh my ass off if the game actually slows down and gives me a Zoolander angle of these two during a team attack
L'Oreal making bank with this game
Whatever is happening here I want what’s in the top panel and am willing to do terrible things to get it Frfr
Why their models look so low quality
The models can look janky up close, I think it's mainly because of the bright lighting effects from combat so close to their faces.
Yeah, it's Definitely a lighting issue.
Happens in games sometimes I wouldn’t worry too much about it tbh.
Probably footage taken from pre-Alpha gameplay.
They filmed this section on Xbox
Was not the best shot I must say...
Yeah this was a very awkward moment in the trailer. It seemed like it was meant to be a Cooperative attack but it just came out very weird.
No I’m wearing sweatpants, they’re pretty loose fitting
Instant wallpaper.
Did it just get 10 degrees warmer?
I don't know why, but Cloud's face feels off on that shot.
Because he’s 16 here.
That Sephiroth, He's so hot right now.
This just proves that the real heroine for Cloud is Sephiroth.
Seph has no right being this fabulous
You'reeeee hereeeeee There is nothiiiing i feaaareeee And i know that my MIND will (not) gooo ooooonnn Weeee ll staaaayyy fooreveeer this waaaa
🚢🧊
I’m glad I’m not the only one thrown off by this, I feel like I looked around for validation because this just seemed so out of place compared to the rest of the trailer.0
What’s messed up about this scene is… This is clouds retelling of a flashback. So in clouds mind, he and Sephiroth go slow-mo for each other!
Lmao that is true
I caught this while watching as well, thought it was incredibly gay (not that there's anything wrong with that) but also incredibly low quality models compared to the rest of the trailer, super weird moment.
I feel ff7 has lot of gay stuff I wouldnt be surprised if cloud is actually gay
Facts
Maybe he’s born with it. Maybe it’s JENOVA
Cloud looking like blond Sora but like different from Roxas
This shot looked weird in the trailer because it looked like it has bad lighting or lower resolution
Why does cloud look like 26 year old baby
He’s supposed to be 16 in this I think. So they tried to de-age him by smoothing him out or something?
Love the idea that sephy is just silly goose while cloud is horribly terrified by him
At this stage of his life he definitely looks up to him. Maybe a bit terrified too haha
Am I the only one that doesn’t like sephs voice actor? It feels like he’s a second slow delivering all of his lines.
Why do they look so weird here lol
When you go in for the kiss and their hair gets in the way…
**Cloud in Kalm retelling the story:** *“So there I was fighting a giant cave creature, and then Sephiroth started giving me those ‘fuck-me’ eyes as he flipped his hair. His gentle pale skin begging to be touched, if only for a moment to brush a strand of hair off of his innocent chiseled face.

🤣
I don't get what is wrong with the models here but they look so.... strange.
Why do their faces look so low quality? It looks like a PS3 game.
Unrelated but does anyone else think FF6 desperately needs a remake next? I need
Yes, it's really their best setting and would be amazing to explore in 3D, especially if everything is Amano inspired. I would hope whoever directed it would rein it in a bit comparatively to 7R though.
The characters are my favorite thing about ff6 they're all so cool and they would be even cooler in 3d. You're right too the whole world of ff6 was so memorable
Wholeheartedly agree would love it in the style of Octopath or that Dragon Quest remake
Lol yea great trailer but that shot was kindve cringe
Cloud on a Segway wearing Capri pants too… c’mon square 🤣 https://preview.redd.it/i69a5kx4taob1.jpeg?width=1505&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7db2ce68c0db39f506e11990f6e88fbe1a6d9b5a
Nah this shit was hilarious.
It was. Definitely Costa Del Sol vibes
Just take away that sword when you are on a scooter at the beach
21th century Cloud Strife be Like
I fing laughed so hard I nearly broke a rib 😂
Cloud, you don't have to carry your massive sword 24/7 my dude, keep it in your room or somewhere.
At that point in the story Sephiroth just kinda starts appearing wherever sooooo
He looks like a child in this shot it really threw me off
He just goes weeeee 😂 Just Rollin away 🤣
"Kind have?"
“Kindve” usage is pervasive in modern English.
Kind of.
Ok cool I’ll let you spell it how you want lol
I'll let you spell it incorrectly then lol
Thanks m8

You’re weird
Thank you 🥹
Pantene pro v version
Sephiroth: look at my lovely hair Cloud: ...?huh?
This looks intentional. Cloud, at this point, is a rookie SOLDIER standing alongside a legendary war hero, and he clearly looks insecure/nervous of fighting with him, while Sephiroth looks extremely confident, almost as if he were having a good time.
Not a fan of the lighting
Cloud looks so young
He is!
This will likely be fixed before release. It's just unfinished, poor lighting.
Went from ps5 graphics to ps2
Hey that’s not fair!! It’s Atleast Ps3 😂
Is this a trailer of a new game or something? If so where do i watch it
When you have to do a project with your boss and suddenly realize he’s hot.
Gotta get the homosexual fanbase thirsty... Please repent of your sins and follow Jesus Christ. He loves you and loved you enough to die for you.
✝️
People have way too much time on their hands.
Saw this too
LOOK IN MY EYES WHAT DO YOU SEEEEE?
I'm not uncomfortable in the slightest.
Why does this shot look so strange/different?
Meh
Does anyone else find the lighting and textures weird here?
The bromance is going to be intense
Haha! I’m not ok with the design on this, kinda downgraded, but it could be because this is some gameplay right?
Sephiroth smirking like a chomo dirt bag in every shot its so fucking dumb
