Squeenix made a booboo in Kingdom Hearts~. I umm... I'm working on this fic, and I needed to know which was Sephiroth's dominant arm i.e. what arm he wields his sword with. What I have discovered in pursuit of this information is that in FF7 and FF7: AC, Seph is left handed. However, in Kingdom Hearts, Sephiroth has magically become right handed. ^.^;;; Just needed to share that completely random piece of trivia. XDDD

Squeenix? (...)

[lanerose]

Ah, sorry - Square Enix. They're the group that created it. Squeenix is an abbreviation that comes from the merging of two older companies, SquareSoft - which did the earlier Final Fantasy games, and ... I forget the other one's proper name, but it had Enix in it. XDDD Squeenix is faster to say, though.

not to mention, it has the dolphin sound squee in it

[lanerose]

Of course, that too. ^___^

[insaneladybug.livejournal.com]

Yep, they sure messed that up. XD They fixed it in KH2, though!

[lanerose]

Really? Huh. That's kind of awesome. ^_^;;;;;

[insaneladybug.livejournal.com]

Yep! Seph has a lot more screentime in KH2, as well.

I love how vague his KH version is. Almost everything he says could be interpreted in another way, if one wanted to try. Though I don't want to say too much, in case I accidentally spoil something for you with KH2. ^^;

[lanerose]

Oh. XD I've kinda already seen the ending for KHII (as well as most of the game, we had a party and watched one of my good friends play), so I'm spoiler-proof. ^.^ I just didn't see any screencaps of his KH2 version when I was looking for his sword hand. ^.^

And yes. Seph's double-talk is extremely well done. Actually, one of the things I love most about Kingdom Hearts is how well they slip little things in that become important later, like with the Kairi monologue at the main menu of KH that becomes the letter at the end of KHII. The series is incredibly subtle. ^___^

[insaneladybug.livejournal.com]

Ahh. XD That's good to know.

Yay subtle stuff! I was just being told about how ambiguous Zexion's fate is, and of a clue slipped in during KH2. At least, I imagine it's a clue, and not an animation mistake.

The two Showdowns of Fate are really cool. They ended up inspiring me to tinker with Seph's identity in fanfics, if he's more than what he claims to be in KH2. I noticed that in the first Showdown of Fate, he didn't admit to it being true.

[lanerose]

I'll admit, I've got my own theories as to what exactly Sephiroth is in relation to Cloud (which became a very short fic half a year or so ago XD). He's just... fascinating, I guess, is a good word.

And a clue in KH2? Ooo... ::curious::

[insaneladybug.livejournal.com]

Yes, fascinating is a very good word! ^^ Do you have that fic posted anywhere? **is curious now.**

I could tell you the clue, if you want! ^^ **assumes you know of his supposed fate.**

[lanerose]

Fic can be found here.

And I would greatly appreciate that, if you would be so kind~! ^_^

Well, it was mentioned that in KH2, in this room called the Proof of Existence, it has name plaques/tombstone things for all Org XIII members. They glow red if the member is dead, and blue if they're alive. Zexion's is blue. At least, she thinks she remembers it was. Could be an animation mistake, but it's much more interesting to think it wasn't! She said she'd try to double-check that and see if she was remembering right.

[lanerose]

Oh yeah, I remember that~!!! We wondered about it, especially since you could enter most of them and fight the Org Member... ^.^;;;

[insaneladybug.livejournal.com]

Ahh! Glad to know that's correct! ^^

I also heard that somebody (the character designer?) wanted so much for Zexion's weapons to be a surprise in the KH2 Final Mix, that they had the thing where his weapons are told about/pictured appear as destroyed. XD

Can you only fight Org Members whose things are blue (minus Zexion's)? Though by the time you get to that part, there probably aren't many left....

[lanerose]

Yep. The ones who are red are all characters who have already been taken out of the fight (like Axel ;_;), so you can only fight blue ones. I do remember one blue one that wouldn't open, though, I think, and I believe it was Zexion's. ^.^;;;
