I only joined Sephyism around page 600, so i think that i missed all the religious mambo-jambo, but i thought that it was more a SY's thing than anything.
"Sephyism is not just a fans club, it's a religion"
Those were more or less the first words in the intro post. The next few pages were made of just pure fanboyism, but nothing on the religious level, if i remember correctly.
And the last 200 pages were just about an interesting and healthy discussion about Sephiroth's character.
However, there's still a gap of more or less 300 pages that i didn't put my eyes on, so maybe that was the time that the religious thingie went crazy.
I'm just glad that i didn't get involved in that.
I mean, i'm a Sephiroth fanboy, no shame in admiting it. I liked him from the first moment i layed my eyes on him and my admiration for his character never diminuished in the last 11 years.
Sephiroth, Kefka and Kuja are my favourite characters ever! I bloody adore them!
But in the end, they're just characters from videogames.
They're not real.
So, to me, it's a bit over the top worshipping fictional characters as gods, or stating that one feels true love for someone who isn't real.
But enough of that for now.
I'm interested in his family life. It seems obvious that he was not fond of his father. But poor Lucrecia, he never even knew her.
I wonder if Sephiroth knew about Lucrecia after absorbing the Lifestream and the knowledge in it when he was regenerating his body in the Northen Crater.
If he was able to find out about Jenova being an alien lifeform and not an Ancient, it is likely that Sephiroth also discovered all the truth about his tainted birth and about his parents.
That said, i think that he probably didn't even care about the fact that he had a mother. An human mother.
He already decided to lead a path away from his humanity. All his human traces were eventually forgotten and erased.
Of course, if Lucrecia had the opportunity of raise him normaly, things would be completely different. But I wonder how would Sephiroth react when he would find out that his birth was a part of a scientific experiment and that his mother voluntered herself to it.
