I've been thinking about Sephiroth's having a tendency in Ever Crisis First Soldier to put his hand on his chest and that it seems to have made it into Rebirth as something he does.
The revelation that he used to wear a locket with his mothers picture there really does change the gesture meaning. I think he's reaching for for that. The idea he's still reaching for her roughly a decade after losing the locket really breaks my heart.

EVER CRISIS / FIRST SOLDIER SPOILERS AHEAD
Hojo wasn't in control of Sephiroth's project until 1983-1984, after Gast left, just before Lucrecia tried to kill herself and wound up in the cave through means unexplained in canon.
We don't know when Hojo gave Sephiroth the photo, but he must have had it for years before that point, because he and Lucrecia clearly weren't really interacting outside of work after Sephiroth was born.
So Hojo kept this photo of his wife for years and then, at some point, gave it to their kid, told him honestly that it was a photo of his mother, and then lied to that kid's face about who she actually was.
Holy shit. Holy shit.

Ever Crisis spoiler ahead
Trailer: "We still don't know Sephiroth"
Sephiroth: *Immediately focused on business/the mission. Very direct to the point of seemingly being rude at first glance. Gets bullied for being the hero. Gets cocky and enjoys showing off. Asks about his mother all the time*
Yup. Definitely didn't know this. Definitely didn't play Crisis Core 🙃

everyone is talking about "the more you endure, the greater the power that will awaken in you" and yet no one is talking about "if your unconscious mind is who you are, you could never take responsibility for anything.... i'm very conscious about every decision i make" I'M SURE YOU ARE, SEPHIROTH

if you told a few hours ago me that sephiroth ffvii was going to leave me a sobbing, broken mess for an hour, honestly more—something a game let alone a game character has not done to me in over 5 years, i would not fucking believe you.
and yet here we are. i didn’t think it was going to hit that fucking close to home. oh my god. im so glad i found this out through willing spoilers instead of playing it myself. it would have destroyed me.

Finished what is out of TFS. Spoilers ahead
My thoughts:
I can’t believe i called it that Glenn is beefing with a 14 year old. He seems to hate Sephiroth for no reason besides jealousy, called a child a cyborg, and said he would never accept Sephiroth cause “he never went through the same brutal training.”
BOY IS THERE A LOT TO UNPACK THERE. But first my Glenn hate.
I fucking hate Glenn. He is literally the encapsulation of everything i find irritating in a person. What made me really hate him is that he refuses to call Matt by his actual name and even after being repeatedly told to not, still does that. (Slay to Matt just not responding to “Professor” that one bit) Which just… really gets on my nerves for personal reasons. And Glenn has repeatedly showed that he is only doing this for the money. Which fair, but the only hint we get as to why is cause someone he i think is related to is in the hospital (i don’t remember exactly i was skimming) which is then immediately followed up immediately with Glenn is broke cause he gambles a lot. So i guess he’s a gambling addict and puts that before whoever he is supposedly doing this for in the hospital. And finally, this most likely 25-30 year old man is beefing with a 14 year old for no fucking reason besides jealousy and his own stupidity. Based on that last section before what’s out of TFS ends, he does not even think to consider “hey why is this kid here and in the army and really fuckin strong?” No, instead he immediately refuses Sephiroth’s help, calls him inhuman, and shuts down what Sephiroth has been through to get to where he is now. So… i think we can guess where Sephiroth questioning his humanity came from. Glenn better do something really really selfless and get his act together or he is probably gonna go down as one of my most hated characters.
Now a bit of positivity and stuff
Sephiroth is such a sweet kid so far. He’s a bit smug about his power but that’s fair. He’s really polite otherwise and just there to do what he was told to do. He seems like he wants to help them and ahg i hope Glenn stops treating him like shit. Little guy needs some positivity in his life.
I also really enjoy Matt and Lucia. Especially Lucia. Love how she just roasts Glenn at every opportunity. It’s great.

Also, considering where Sephiroth found it, we can all agree that Hojo had Vincent in that muzzle at some point, right?

I wonder if they'll release a new chapter before Halloween. Technically, the release of FS Chapter 5 was still in September. And they need to release more stuff for OG and CC as well.
Anyone have theories on where the story of FS is going? I have mine, but lots of you guys bring up amazing points I hadn't noticed before.

Ever Crisis Spoilers ahead:
I know we all made jokes and assumed Sephiroth is 12 in Wutai, but Square actually gave us years.
Crisis Core Reunion states the Jenova Project started in 1977. Ever Crisis's First Soldier stuff starts in 1992.
Sephiroth is an absolute maximum of 14 years old at the start of the game.
