Hi everyone !

Since i am actually not so well educated on the whole FF universe, i wanted to ask the most knowledgeable of you about something.

For me Sephirot was always the bad guy from FFVII, so when i saw his appearance in FFXIV, i was quite confused. Then, after doing a bit of research, i found out that it was based on Doom/Fiend from FFVI. I also found out that Doom was originally named Sephirot (???) which made things even more confusing.

Could someone let me know if there is any proper connection between those two, or if SE just used the same name for two characters in their franchise ?

Thanks in advance !
