I think you all are missing the hidden message
, It is something that involves problems we face nowadays. CLONING. Sephiroth is what would happen if the clone was to possess all the evil attributes of a person (Cloning is only been proven to be 97 percent accurate at the most). Cloud is the heroic parts of a person. It also has to do with all the steroids we inject into our foods (MAKO in FF7) to make super powered people and stuff. If anything, FF7 was the best, because it related so closely to the problems of the world, that games still today are trying to relate that closely to life. What was so great about FF8? It was the lamest story in history, and the hero had the gayest cause, he saved the world because he wanted to. Zidane is very similar to Cloud and Sephiroth, cause from what I heard, he was a Genome (Genetically altered super soldier thing). And Tidus was just fucked beyond everything when he was content and happy with his life. Now if you guys want to get technical about this, every single video game has the same story. Hero is thrust into position of saving the world, villain hates hero for no known reason and wants to rule the world. Hero stops villain, world is safe. No one plays a game for the general story, they play it for the details that each game delivers. How each story's details are fleshed out, and how well the player gets to know the characters that he/she plays. The reason FF7 will be the best game from Square-Enix, is becaus it is the first game to let you get to know the story behind just about every character you come in contact with. Each character has their own reasons for saving the planet, be it for going to space(Cid), or for living long enough to repay the world for what you did wrong (Cait Sith). You learned so much about each character and felt a little sorry for them and felt that they had a well-justified reason for doing what they do. You know damn well you would want to rule the world if you found out your daddy was GOD, and don't tell me you wouldn't because man kind's desire is to be more powerful than someone else. That's why we have violence and wars. FF7 will always be remembered for that, and any other game after that will be great, and may be better in many ways, but it will not cast a dark shadow over FF7.
On Topic: The game that stars Vincent, would be a good game in my opinion. I think the reason they are doing a game starring him, is because they never really let you know anything about him in FF7, so they are trying to shed some light on his dark past, and let gamers know why he had condemned himself. The Cell phone game looks great, but as King Amazon said, the cell phone game couldn't be that entertaining. As for the movie, I expect it to be great, just like the game.
