But here's more fangirlin' instead.

FF7 rocks in the domain of the little details. Things like characters' eyes widening a bit in cinematics, e.g. Cloud en route to the Ultimate Showdown of Etc. Etc. in mental space - it's very clear when he sees his opponent, his eyes widen a bit and he opens his mouth slightly - we see this almost mirrored in Advent Children at THAT ONE PART. Also, the slight widening of Sephiroth's eyes when he yanks the metal angel thing off the front of Jenova's fishtank.

Speaking of Sephiroth again (yes, I like him - I'm not going to get into penis fencing wars in re: which FF villain is better so slapfight with someone who cares, hypothetical penis fencers XD) - it intrigued the hell out of me to learn that during the flashback-to-Nibelheim-goes-foomph scenes, when everyone is in the truck?

Sephiroth's watching Cloud.

No, not !Cloud who is actually that other guy. CLOUD-Cloud, carsick-lowbie Cloud. The actual Cloud.

That intrigues me. And that's another neat bit of characterization - Sephiroth has enough compassion in him to be concerned about a carsick lowbie.

I think that Sephiroth was a bit of an ass, but mostly cause he was good I mean epic majestic good. So he was a little full of himself. I mean, I can't fault him too much for being a cocky person. I firmly believe however, that he wasn't evil. That he got sick and Jenova was controlling him. That's one of the scenes I always point to when I say that too. :D I'm glad someone else notices

I noticed that too, my second time through when I actually knew what was really going on in that scene. There's also the part when they actually get into town and Seph's all "don't you have family here? you should go see them". So yeah, it's obvious he cares about the grunts. (That's also one of my "HERP DERP SOMETHIN WAS GOING ON" things cause it's like, why would he know a lowly MP has family in this podunk town?)
