The AC director confirmed Sephy was "no where near full power" plus this is further proved in film when Tifa said "That time we fought Sephiroth, we all had that feeling and it looks like Cloud has regained it".ZERO7772 said:I have been meaning to ask, but shouldn't Cloud have a AC key? He soloed a stronger version of Sephy compared to game Cloud who needed the whole gang to beat a weaker Sephy
Everyone's Changes: |
---|
*Thanks to Mr. Bambu the Supernova got a boost. The output is still 4-B, but went from 3 to 178 MegaFoe. 1. Aside Resistance to Mind Manipulation, Soul Manipulation, Empathic Manipulation, Matter Manipulation and Deconstruction being able to enter the Lifestream without problems also translates into resistance to Biological and Soul Absorption, as well as Memory Manipulation.
Also worth noting are two things: first, give how this process has been going since life was born on the Planet, the "weight" of the Lifestream on the soul and mind of the characters could well be in the hundreds of billions. Second, the resistance to Corruption comes from simple exposure to Spirit Energy, as simple contact can lead to adverse effects:
3. Added a Tab for equipment, it doesn't add anything new, but decided to put their Ultimate Weapons and the Ribbon here for a matter of order. 4. At first I had my doubts on this one, but decided to give everyone resistance to Power Absorption and Power Mimicry, as Limit Breaks cannot be imitated due to being dependant on the user's Spirit Energy. I am aware of Zack's case, but he is acknowledged as an unique case and he doesn't straight up copy the Limit Breaks of others, rather creates a variant based on them which is more of an adaptation with his own Spirit Energy. This only applies to Limit Breaks, though, Magic, Commands and Summons can be copied or stolen (but not quite nullified as explained below) 5. Due to the nature of the Silence and Frog status, which effectively block different abilities of the target, the Ribbon and Added Effect Materia also protect from Power Nullification. 6. The Pre-Emptive Materia translates into Enhanced Awareness and Stealth by allowing to sneak on enemies but also prevent the enemies from being attacked by surprise. |
Cloud's's Changes: |
---|
Aside his AC Key, made an AC tab for his abilities and feats in AC. Most notably: 1. His Regenerationn Negation goes to Low-Godly, due to being able to permanently kill Sephiroth (explanation the Regenerationn in Sephy's section below). While Sephy did give the "I will never be a memory" line and all, his influence was gone after his defeat, allowing Aerith to cleanse Geostigma with Great Gospel. Otherwise it would raise the question on why she didn't intervene before in those two years when Geostigma caused so much damage. 2. Also gets Type 1, 4 and 8 Immortality Negation due to being able to kill Sephiroth. 3. Added Dual Wielding. This is for two reasons: one, many assume Cloud always fight in his Buster Sword style (especially given in crossovers they make him so for balance and because it's his more iconic style) and two, Cloud actually performs a lot better when dual wielding, in his final battle with Kadaj, the Remnant was handling himself rather well until Cloud started to dual wield, after that Cloud casually smacked him around. 4. Added Afterimage Creation, nothing major, but Omnislashes V5 and 6 do it. 5. Mentioned how his power increase with his Limit Breaks has become pretty drastic and allow to one-shot enemies, such as Bahamut SIN, who otherwise can take his regular attacks with no problems. |
Sephiroth's Changes: |
---|
1. Edited the explanation of his stats to mention the new Supernova calc, and expanded it a bit. 2. Removed the Materia Emulation tabs. To be blunt, I can't find any proof that Sephiroth has actually assimilated the effects of every Materia in existence. There are many mentions of how he absorbed large amounts of knowledge from the Lifestream, but nothing indicates he became one with it or anything similar. Actually, it's the opposite: in the temple of the Ancients when he explains his plan regarding Meteor what he says is that he "plans" to become one with the Lifestream and rule every soul, which is why he wants to wound the Planet with Meteor and absorb the Spirit Energy used by it to heal the wound, it's something he hasn't achieve but plans to. He also mentions becoming a [traveler] of the Lifestream, becoming superior to the Cetra (Cetra and Ancients are the same thing) by gaining their knowledge and those who lived after... which indeed supports his new abilities, but it comes directly at odds with his plan described previously (if he was one with the Lifestream, why need to absorb that much Spirit Energy via the injury), and while the Cetra did know how to use the powers of the planet... there isn't quite any statement or proof that they could use every power the Planet ever had all we're told is they had a connection and used its powers. There's also the issue how On the Way to a Smile - Episode: Barret both Barret and Cid comment how the power of the Lifestream itself was beyond anything they had seen before, which lends credence to why Sephiroth wanted to absorb it to begin with. The Materia emulation doesn't have a strong enoug basis so I decided to take it out. 3. Like Jenova he has Immortality (Types 2, 3 and 6) thanks to being able to use the Reunion and essentially being able to enforce his will through any fragment of the body to create a new main body. 4. While he lost the Materia Emulation, thus the access to Added Effect and Elemental, his resistance to Elemental Manipulation and Status Effect Inducement can be chalked to Adaptation which he shares with Jenova (it's not quite Reactive Evolution, though, Sephy and Jenova don't grow stronger as they fight, more like they slowly adapt to new threats as they evolve). 5. I was on the fence to what exactly this one counts as, but decided to leave as Sealing his ability to block external influences, energies and power sources. Reason is simply that whatever he blocks doesn't cease to be, it's simply held at bay until Sephy is defeated (such as what happened with Holy and her influence in Advent Children). 6. The Pocket Dimension for the Supernova now became a mix of Limited Dimensional Travel|Pocket Reality Manipulation given the rather vague nature of the realm, but with other users, it's more or less considered that the user creates said realm. This abilities are what protect him from BFR via Remove now, adjusting to lore the resistance. 7. Advent Children nets him Immortality (Types 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 8) and Regenerationn (Low-High to Low-Godly). It's a strange mic, but... while his physical body normally has Low-High regen due to requiring Jenova Cells, his spirit can remain active without issues, separate from the Lifestream, even if he's killed, with which he can still extend his influence and stage a Resurrection (also added). Cloud killing him for good means he bypassed this and forced his spirit to return to the Lifestream, which would make sense, given that it wasn't until Sephiroth's defeat that Aerith could step in and heal the Geostigma, and Sephy could interact with Aerith in the Lifestream. 8. Also, a case could be made for Mid-Godly, as he states that with just a memory of him, he could come back even if his spirit was effectively gone. However, I found the backup of this too vague so I prefer to stick to Low-Godly. 9. Added Non-Corporeal and Inorganic Physiology, however regarding the latter... can it be applied to what's mostly a spiritual being? Or it's just meant for robots, animated objects and the such. 10. His resistances were added to their own Tab to organize them better. Added Resistance to Telekinesis, Illusion Creation (scaling from Jenova's abilities) and Information Analysis (tied that Sephiroth can't be Sensed to the lore behind Jenova's eldritch nature and Sephiroth's ascension being "beyond" the mortal realm, which was a big point for developers especially in AC). 11. Changed his resistance to Energy Manipulation to a limited one, given he doesn't resist it altogether, but can endure some effects of it. 12. Added resistance to Power Absorption due to his magic and abilities, like Limit Breaks now are ingrained to his Spirit Energy, aka mind and soul, no longer requiring external sources. However, they can still be copied (some of them at least) so no resistance to Power Mimicry 13. Added Resistance to Disease Manipulation and Biological Manipulation due to no longer having a proper biological body, but still having the few cells that work as anchors (hence not a full immunity, though Jenova has one hell of an immune system). |
