Alexia: Labor Omnia Vincit [2022]

Weirdo…

Even though Cloud fucking hates Sephiroth's guts, a part of him still feels incredible pity for him too. It's rare that we actually get to see this level of nuance from Cloud's perspective. Most of the time he's screaming about wanting to kill Sephiroth/asking where the fuck Sephiroth is so he can fight him/how Sephiroth took everything from him/etc. And don't get me wrong--Cloud is 100% right to feel that way.

That's why Opera Omnia stood out to me because it was the first major instance in which Cloud actually talks about his feelings for the Sephiroth that was, or at least tried to temper his feelings in talking with someone who still cared about Sephiroth as a person (Zack and later Angeal). He doesn't believe Sephiroth can be saved and he makes it clear that it wouldn't change anything for him...but he still recognizes that there would be a reason for others to hold onto Sephiroth the man and not Sephiroth the monster.

There's more to Cloud than just his vendetta. It could be that OO benefits from featuring a Cloud that understands himself and feels more comfortable in his own skin post-OG. Cloud DOES see in shades of gray, or at least he's had to confront a lot of his feelings and acknowledge the more complex line that separates good and evil. He won't ever forgive Sephiroth (nor should he HAVE to), but he can at least understand the tragedy of the situation. And he doesn't stand in the way of those who still want to save Sephiroth from himself.

Cloud fuckin' Strife, man. A character who is continuously full of surprises. And I love him for it.

Angeal’s Regret

This is a good translation of Angeal’s words here, but I wanted to explain something very painful that we learn from the Japanese.

Dissidia:

ところがひどく心配させたようでな

やつれた顔を見たときは悪いことをしたと思った

However, it seems it caused him to be extremely worried.

When I saw his haggard face, I thought I had done something wrong.

Crisis Core:

セフィロス やつれたか?

Sephiroth, are you haggard?

Angeal uses the same word to describe Sephiroth’s condition in Dissidia that he did in Crisis Core.

やつれた

“yatsureta”

I found a good definition of it for English-speakers:

Angeal noticed that Sephiroth was gaunt, exhausted, and worried. Unhappy. We can see this exact state of Sephiroth in Crisis Core. Many of us describe him as depressed and worn. I think that is a fair assessment, because it was evidently so noticeable that Angeal saw it immediately.

In Dissidia, it’s a key point of regret. Angeal remembers how Sephiroth looked and realized it was because of his and Genesis’ disappearances. When he tries to speak to Sephiroth in Dissidia, he also realizes that Sephiroth was alone when he discovered his origins.

“Sephiroth…did you come to know of your birth? I had Genesis at that time…but you…”

Angeal regrets. He wishes he was there and communicated better to his dear friend. He did not understand at the time, just how far Sephiroth would fall after, from his perspective, being left behind.

Zack: “You all had a really good relationship.”

Sephiroth: “Hmph, I wonder…”
