So... if Cloud/Aerith and Zack/Aerith are canon in another world, then that means that somewhere out there, Sephiroth/Aerith is also canon?
Aerith tries to snatch the Black Materia from Sephiroth but fails.
"It's the final time, right?"
"I can honestly say; I underestimated you."
"Sephiroth, tell me."
"Quiet. And disappear for good."
"Being by yourself like this, aren't you lonely?"

Aerith: Sephiroth, tell me— Sephiroth: Quiet. And disappear for good. Aerith: Being by yourself like this, aren’t you lonely?
She’s trying to talk to him!!!!
Thank God someone uploaded a Japanese version of this boss fight. I have no doubt that its translation to English is gonna be much different.
Aerith and Sephiroth are having a moment ☺️
This was so hard to pose! Fibro and POTS have given me more time off work than I planned, so I had time to work on it 😅 BG version rendering now 😊 I'll also render a Zack version, then a Cloud version 😍😍😍
their height difference is actually insane
Imagine this Sephiroth looking at Aerith like this. 😫😏
Here's my piece for @aerisephzine 🌸☄️ A collab with amazing @avannawolfe
In this clip, we have Leila Malcal, a kind person who doesn’t like violence and sees it as a last resort; who loves her friends and wishes to protect them, willing to sacrifice anything, even her own life, to do so; and has special powers (that stayed dormant until she activated it).
And she is voiced by Maaya Sakamoto (Aerith’s Japanese VA).
And then we have Akito Hyuga, a soldier with a cold and calm demeanor, may be mentally unstable, as he is shown to enjoy battle to the point of blood lust, but has a softer persona and care for his comrades.
Not gonna lie, they remind me of someone.
I’m talking about pre-Nibelheim!Sephiroth, not the current one.
Also, Akito didn’t venture on the dark path unlike Sephiroth. At the end, he and Leila end up together.
As I watched it again, I noticed some similarities between the characters. Or maybe I’m just being delulu. 🤷
Okay, I’ll stop now. 🤐
Have to share this amazing artwork. Finally, I’ve found it.
Sephiroth spending time with the beautiful flower peddler while Angeal and Genesis searches for him. 🤭
If only they kept the idea that Sephiroth was Aerith’s first love, not Zack...
Seeing young Sephiroth in Ever Crisis and young Aerith in Remake got my brain working up.
What if, you know, the two of them met when they were young? They are close with each other before Aerith and her mother flee Shinra. (Thanks for this wonderful fanart. Love this! ❤️) But she and Sephiroth promised that they would see each other again.
Sephiroth and Aerith met again during the events of Crisis Core. And instead of Zack (Sorry, man.), Sephiroth became her lover. Maybe in this scenario, he didn’t go mad after learning the truth of his existence but he was struggling with himself.
The only bad guys here are probably Shinra corporation for experimenting on people and draining the planet.
...Ah, what a good fanfic it would be. 🥲
