Game Making: Start By Healing the Player

After escaping from Midgar, Cloud also talked about his grievance with Sephiroth on the way.

Five years ago, Claude and Sephiroth came to Nibelheim, his hometown, to investigate the aging magic furnace in Nibull Mountain.

Because not only is the magic furnace aging, but also many cruel monsters have appeared.

As the screen of the game came to five years ago, Sephiroth appeared in the game for the first time, although it was only a memory, but just looking at Sephiroth leaning on the plane, people could not help but feel A sense of oppression, of course Song Ren felt that this might also be because he knew that this was the final boss.

However, he was soon attracted by Claude's performance.

'heavy rain! ' Looking at the heavy rain outside the window, Cloud sighed with emotion, then showed a hearty smile and cared about the taciturn Shinra soldier next to him, who could not see clearly the masked Shinra soldiers.

'Hey...you, don't be noisy. ' Sephiroth leaned there, looking helpless at the excited Claude.

'I got some new magic stones! I really want to use it right away! ' Claude was very excited.

'...what a child. ' Hearing this, Sephiroth shook his head.

"This performance doesn't feel like Claude! What happened to make Claude like this?" Song Ren felt a little strange.

As far as the plot that Claude recalled, Song Ren felt that apart from the same looks, they were not the same character.

Judging from the performance of Claude he has experienced, it is more of a coldness and even a tendency to be autistic, but now, looking at the former Claude, he is very cheerful and optimistic?

So what happened to make Claude like this?

Song Ren watched the follow-up plot with curiosity. Facing Claude asking about his hometown, Sephiroth just replied plainly: My mother was Xenovia, and she died after giving birth to me.

However, this news made Song Ren a while, and then the screen switched back to the official plot of the game, and the reactions of Barrett and the others also proved Song Ren's guess.

Xenovia is the monster that appeared in Shinra before.

But at this time, Tifa's performance made Song Ren a little strange, giving people a feeling of wanting to stop talking and a puzzled expression.

However, Song Ren didn't pay too much attention at this time. His attention was still on Sephiroth. What is the relationship between Sephiroth and that Xenovia?

Although it is only a memory, Song Ren can also feel that although Sephiroth looks very cold, in this brief plot, he takes good care of the soldiers under Shinra.

Every battle must take the lead, and even Sephiroth is reluctant to let other soldiers take action, worrying about causing casualties, giving people the feeling of having a very strong sense of responsibility.

There is no thought to explore in Nibelheim. After Song Ren hastily strolled for two laps, the plot of the game was directly triggered.

When they went to the magic furnace, Sephiroth and the others hired the residents of the village as guides, and it was Tifa who was hired at that time.

And before departure, they also took a group photo at the door.

Then Cloud, Sephiroth, Tifa, and a Shinra soldier wearing a helmet that looked like a passerby, moved towards the deep magic furnace facility.

After investigating the problem and repairing it, Sephiroth and the others accidentally discovered that there were egg-shaped cultivation chambers filled with magic liquid around the magic furnace.

And these cultivators turned out to be humanoid creatures that turned into monsters, and Sephiroth discovered the connection.

'You ordinary special forces are human beings who have been soaked in magic energy. Although they are not the same as ordinary people, they are at least human. ' Sephiroth watched Cloud tell the shocking truth.

'But what are they? They are immersed in a higher density of mojo energy. ’

Shinra warriors themselves are produced by subjecting the human body to a large amount of magic radiation. Does that mean that Shinra warriors are no different from monsters.

The strongest among the Shinra warriors, Sephiroth, and other first-level special forces, are they not human anymore?

This conjecture was spit out from Claude's mouth.

Such a fact made Sephiroth angry, and even began to doubt himself, because he knew that he was different from the Shinra special forces like Claude.

After returning to Nibelheim Village, Sephiroth came to the Shinra Villa on the outskirts of the village, and kept reading the research materials left behind like a madman.

If a person is crazy, either he will lose his mind because of his emotions, or he will be absolutely calm when he is crazy. Obviously Sephiroth is the latter.

Through the documentation, Sephiroth thinks he understands everything, Shinra excavated a suspended animation from the ice in the glacial region decades ago, a creature in geology 2000 years ago.

Dr. Gast, who was in charge of the research, named the species Xenovia, and confirmed through secondary research that it was an ancient species that died out a long time ago.

And in order to be able to take advantage of the abilities of the ancient species, the researchers started a deeper study, named: Jerowa Project.

At the same time Sephiroth's mother is also named Gerova, is this just a coincidence?

Obviously not, although Sephiroth is talking to himself, more and more documents have confirmed his conjecture.

If a person's beliefs are destroyed, then the person may break down, be shocked, and hesitate to give birth to a variety of complex emotions.

But Sephiroth is different. Known as a hero, he is too calm, or too extreme.

He used to be proud of his human identity and based on the belief of the great hero Sephiroth, so he must be the first to fight in battle.

But now all of Sephiroth's beliefs have been destroyed, he believes that his mother is an ancient species, and the original owner of this planet is an ancient species.

Humans are just the races that will be occupied later, so as the last ancient species, Sephiroth believes that he has this responsibility and this obligation to retake the planet from the hands of humans.

So Sephiroth walked out of the villa and began a massacre.

Tifa's father was also one of the villagers killed, including Tifa himself who was cut down by Sephiroth.

By the time Claude arrived, it was already too late.

The village fell into the sea of ​​fire. Sephiroth stood on the ground across the sea of ​​fire and stared at Claude expressionlessly, then slowly turned around with the long knife in his hand, and walked towards the depths of the sea of ​​​​fire.

"Fuck, this picture!"

Although Sephiroth's blackening came so suddenly, and the method was very cruel.

But from an aesthetic point of view, Song Ren had to admit that the scene where Sephiroth disappeared into the sea of ​​fire just now was simply too handsome.

He even felt that it was enough to be included in one of the coolest lists of current villains.

And in front of the magic furnace, the scene where Cloud and Sephiroth are about to have a decisive battle made Song Ren feel extremely amazed.

Sephiroth, who was standing in front of the cultivation warehouse, slowly raised his hands.

'Mother has the best strength, wisdom and magic, and should be the ruler of the planet. ’

'But they... those worthless creatures are stealing this planet from the mother, but now I'm with you, so don't worry...'

The performance like Shakespeare directly stunned Song Ren.

Of course, what made him more calm was that when he thought he was going to stage an earth-shattering BOSS battle with Sephiroth and tried it out in advance, his memories ended.

In Claude's words, it was that his memory was interrupted here, and he didn't know what happened in the middle. Although he thought that his ability was not enough to kill Sephiroth, the news report of Shinra later said that Safiros Philos is dead.

Looking at Barrett who was back in the hotel and arguing to continue to leave, Song Ren pouted and recalled the story of Claude's memory just now.

So the main reason for Sephiroth's blackening is that he has the attributes of a dutiful son! ?

Compared with Arthas and Jaina, who have been ridiculed by the players for years as the dutiful son, how do you feel that Sephiroth is the real dutiful son?
