Like its predecessor, the gameplay combines real-time action with strategic and role-playing elements. Set immediately after Remake's events, players control mercenary Cloud Strife and a party of characters principally comprising the eco-terrorist group AVALANCHE, who embark on a journey across the Planet to prevent the megacorporation Shinra from exploiting its life essence, the Lifestream, as an energy source, and defeat former elite SOLDIER Sephiroth, who seeks to unite with the Planet to achieve greater power.

Worst part about this is that you can't skip the cutscenes so you're forced to watch them over and over again every time you lose.

[soulstech]

Every single time I do this fight I stagger him and when he snaps out of It he's about 5-10% health and he hits me with an unavoidable grab and he insta kills me . Its really pissing me off

[muddimert]

Took me a good few goes, kept getting to that stage where he insta kills you in his final phase. To make matters worse, no barrier materia and Aerith had no materia at all, so made things even tougher. Why don’t they allow you to adjust your materia before the various fights, really would help a lot!

[blackstrings]

A cheap way to beat him is to put limit siphon on cloud. Equip reraise on Aerith and that materia that swaps mp with hp. Each time Aerith gets killed (which she’ll likely be one shot) Aerith will revive and get a huge limit boost. Cloud siphons her limit and spam his limit breaks and repeat.

[noirvenom]

Been trying to beat him the last few days and felt so frustrated. This vid definitely helped alot, when I got to the last part I got excited then got one shoted by the octoslash… this fight is something else

[HeartlessNinny]

"What more could you ask for?"
How about a fight that's fucking fun for one

[rincerta]

I remember having fun playing as sephiroth in the beginning 😭

[terellkid]

I always get auto one shotted on the very last part from the octoslash because I can’t do enough damage in time. I’ve play this boss over 20 times and I’m starting to think I might REALLY be stuck for the first time in a video game. They NEED to patch a couple of these boss fights. This one and the Rufus boss are the two most broken ones so far.

[Monty]

Nomura and friends really do believe that the boss just straight up just invoking damage frames at the last chunk of life was super smart as a game design. The very first time he initiated Tempus I used Ascension and he just ignored it. Initiated Octoslash and we died.

But the most aggrivating thing about this is when you retry the "retry from checkpoint" is a 2 minute cutscene. WHY?

[MRDEEP]

I just changed the difficulty to easy after losing the final phase of the boss fight 5 times lol. I’m here for the story, so whatever. Older I get the less I care about what difficulty I finish the game on. I really enjoyed this game overall! Outside of some sections that dragged.

[walterromero]

Went into this with optimism that this would be a 5 out 5 game. Played and dropped my score to 4 out of 5. After this fight I dropped it to 3 out of 5 😫

[ProphetGaming]

I finally beat him today before work…what a relief 😮‍💨

[BeersYourFriend]

I have tried 30+ times trying to beat Sephiroth and just can't do it. I get very close, dwindling him down to a sliver of health, but can't seem to pressure him enough at the end, and I get one shot every single time. I never added a point in the folio for Clouds 3rd level break. I don't have barrier or fire on me. Although I found that Aerith's Soul Drain ability works extremely well on the sword, which I'm using instead of fire. I'm flipping between characters, and healing using mist gigas, so health is not the problem here at all. One would think that by setting the game's options to normal with classic mode selected would make this fight a breeze, since in classic it says something like "use this if you just want to focu on abilities" and it isn't working well. Works great for most other other fights, but not this one. I might have to call it. I completed all regions, all side quests except 1 against a tough dude at the golden saucer, and everyone in my party is in the light blue maxed-happy. I had a great time with the game, and think i'll just youtube the ending. It's most likely a skill issue, and I'm fine with that. I've simply had enough. Thanks for the great guide video! Cheers! 🍻

it took me almost 2 days but after fighting him so often you can understand the pattern and he gets easier. i played on dynamic and did the following:
•unfortunately, i did have to restart back to jenova to give aerith fire since i took everything off of her and gave it to cait believing i wouldn't play her in the future. it's 100% worth it and the fights aren't that hard, just time consuming. i also should add that i intended to give her raise but later on found that i didn't give it to her. nonetheless i could still use phoenix downs when using her. once aerith has fire, make sure cloud has it too.
•in the beginning of the fight prioritize getting at least one ATB up for each of them, dodging as much as possible. seph will use his kamehameha and you need fire to destroy the masanune quickly.
•this fight is impossible without aerith's radiant ward. use it as much as possible to get her ATB to constantly use pray. i thought i really needed cure for her but pray+potions did fine. after you pressure him from destroying masamune i use cloud a little bit to hurt him and then switched to aerith to let the AI continue to distract seph as i got aerith's ATB up as soon as possible for the radiant ward.
•every time seph directs his attention towards cloud, i instantly switched to aerith to keep using radiant ward and use pray. if you're using it so much that you're full health then you can use fire if you like but be sure to leave MP for at least enough 2 fires for the last part of the boss.
•when you first see cloud and aerith's synergies use it at the timing you think is best. i use it when i stagger seph for the first time. this is important because cloud needs his second limit break for the last part of the boss. as for aerith's i need her limit as well but do NOT use planet protection. it's useless in this fight. you can use them immediately in this part of the fight, and the second time the limits activate but trust me when i say don't use them for the third time. you're going to want to save them for the final part and it'll be so easy. also, when seph was staggered i also used the titan summon. that's to help out with damage (of course) but so i can keep my ATB up as much as possible. it's also super helpful to help stagger seph as you're saving your limit break for later.
•be sure to keep at least one ATB on for each character to use fire because you'll need to destroy masamune when seph does his tornado. the same is for his octoslash. if you can't destroy his wing and sword when he powers it up, just focus on one.
•when seph activates his final move before octoslash, that's when you immediately go to use aerith's healing wind to get cloud's health up as much as possible so he can use ascension on seph. that's not going to kill him but it will stagger him. then spam fire and you're done

I removed all her materia before the fight. Thank you, Square Enix. Peak game design.

[gaelicprincess]

I’ve tried this boss twice now, and I’ve come so far! I basically got to the final stretch on my second try, but then died. 😭 So this guide REALLY helps me know where to improve, LOL. Thank you so much! 😊

[BlitzHavenDirEnGrey]

I'm struggling at the end when he does he one-shot BS. I don't have Barrier and i'm not about to re-do the whole fight from Cloud+Zack again for a 3rd time.

[steviemoe-]

Honestly this boss fight made me hate the game

[CireDelaRosa-wv]

limit break aint gonna cut it. tried it a couple of times
