To everyone who says they'll be adding Sephiroth cause, "they are going in order" or he is "iconic" those arent good enough reasons to include him.

First they already had a Sephiroth inspired villian in the form of "Nael" and although I never played 1.0, I've heard "he" was Sephiroth to a T. Also we have Sephirot. It was explained that Exdeath is a children's fable, but in the world of FFXIV Sephirot as a primal existed; how would they hand wave his existance if someone with his "name" exists already.

Second, Sephiroth is not the most iconic villian in the series, he is just the most know; as someone said earlier, even non-fans of FF know him, that does not mean he's iconic in the series as a whole. FFVII as a whole was righg place right time. Anyway, we are getting the most iconic villian this patch. While VII gets a lot of hype VI is the series fan favorite. And for what I hear, cant say much since I havent played it, the only villian that rivals Kefka, is XV's, Izunia.

Lastly, if they are going in order, someone pointed out that VII had the most weapons in the series. Using the weapons would be the best use of VII in my opinion.
