==Summary==
Sephiroth is a mysterious swordsman with a connection to Cloud's past. Cloud considers Sephiroth a representation of his own inner darkness. He, along with Cloud, Tifa, Aerith, Yuffie, Zack, and Cid, originates from the Squaresoft game Final Fantasy VII, where he served as the main antagonist. So far, Sephiroth is the only main antagonist from the Final Fantasy franchise to appear in the Kingdom Hearts series.

Sephiroth
He was written as a symbol of Cloud's darkness, and it's possible that just maybe he was not a corporeal human entity at all. Perhaps the sequence of scenes involving them made players feel like they were being left behind, but I'd like you to think of that as a representation of a light and darkness that Sora, and thus you as players, cannot intervene in.

Tifa
As a symbol of light, like Sephiroth, it's possible that she too was incorporeal. That last scene where she goes off to search for Cloud, you could say, is a metaphor for how Cloud's light still hasn't lost him, even though he's disappeared off with his darkness, and it is trying to shine on him again… I'm pretty sure I didn't manage to get all that across very well.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:
*Quick Sweep: Sephiroth's basic sword slash via an outward draw slash. Covers a long reach and has a wide arc.
*Step Sweep: Sephiroth delays a bit and rushes forward with a wide draw (in a more pronounced turn) in a small hop, then leaps back a distance. Tends to be used alongside the first slash, throwing off his opponents block-timing as the move comes out a bit slower than the other slash.
*Flash: The area darkens and Sephiroth says "That's enough." before dashing past his opponent, who is then hit by a total of thirteen more hits in quick succession should the first move connect.
*Cut Combo: Sephiroth charges forward, unleashing several quick damaging slash attacks.
*Aerial Cut Combo: Sephiroth only uses this move when his enemy is in the air and attacks them multiple times, after which he teleports.
*Upward Slash: Sephiroth teleports behind his enemy and attacks, knocking them high into the air.
*Teleportation: Sephiroth can instantly teleport from one point to another.
*Firaga Wall: Sephiroth draws a vacuum effect that drags the target towards him and conjures many flame pillars around himself.
*Heartless Angel: Sephiroth's trademark attack. He instantly depletes all of his enemy's magic and reduces their health to a near zero. The attack can be interrupted, but it cannot be blocked or dodged and penetrates forcefields.
*Wild Dance: Sephiroth does a frenzy of standing and leaping blows in mid-flight, then leaps up and does a finisher that sends a perpendicular blast of four shockwaves at once, much like the current version of the Omnislash from his home series.
*Shadow Flare: Sephiroth conjures dozens of dark orbs to surround his target, then he suddenly sends at them to damage the target.
*Flight: Sephiroth can fly with the use of his wing.
*Spin Attack: Leaps at the target with a spiraling attack.
*Supernova: Sephiroth's ultimate attack, his body emits a glowing dark aura and he summons several meteors, which surround and orbit around him. A mass of energy later appears above his head, which later falls upon the meteors and explodes; dealing massive damage to anyone near him. He can also summon dozens of meteors and just rain them down on the target.
*Bloodlusted: When low on HP, Sephiroth surrounds himself with a dark aura and his attacks become much faster and fiercer.
