"... And so, to minimise the chances of further incidents, Sephiroth was immediately assigned a priority mission in the Wutai region," Tseng concludes his report, his eyes fixed squarely by the President's nameplate on the desk. "A decision approved and backed by Director Deusericus, seeing as Sephiroth had fourteen missions pending in the area."
President Shinra hums, noncommittal. "And now I have an irate Head of Science Department to handle."
"I thought it would be better than the alternative," Tseng says simply.
"Hmph," the president answers. "What is Sephiroth's status now?"
"He's on board the troop transport SXR-774 and will be landing directly in Wutai in approximately twelve hours," Tseng reports. "Mentally and physically it's hard to tell - the last thing he did when still in this building was throw up a considerable amount of blood -"
"Hah!" The President snorts. "Yes, I saw the video."
Damnit, Reno. "Yes, sir. In any case, my people on board the transport report that he seems to be feeling better now."
"I see," the President scoffs and looks away, drumming his fingers against his enormous desk and turning away. "And what about his supposed newfound abilities? Hojo mentioned something about a new level of energy control - is Sephiroth finally starting to justify all the money that went into his creation?"
"... Sir?"
President Shinra slaps his desk. "Is he finally living up to his damned heritage? Is this him finally exhibiting Ancient abilities?"
Tseng hesitates. Ah. That. "Though it's… difficult to say for sure, it does seem that Sephiroth has developed some kind of new ability," he admits. "My agent with him heard him call what he was doing energy alignment, and said that Sephiroth also questioned the source of MP and where it resides in the body. So, one might reasonably theorise that Sephiroth is becoming more… aware."
The President stands up. "More aware," he repeats and turns to the windows that cover the walls of his penthouse office with their complete view of the city. "More… aware. Energy alignment. Professor Gast told me that the Ancients could feel the Mako flowing in the Planet. Could it be something like that?"
Tseng hesitates. "I… couldn't say, sir. It's possible."
President Shinra hums. "Good, good. And you sent him to Wutai too. Excellent," he decides. "That's better than Hojo locking him up in the labs! Better let the boy test his new abilities in the field. And your people will keep an eye on him?"
"Around the clock, sir," Tseng promises.
"Good! That's good," the President nods, clasping his hands behind his back and looking over Midgar with satisfaction. "Two decades of waiting. It's been expensive, but finally we will have some return for our investment. And who knows… maybe in Wutai he will find us the Promised Land, and we can put an end to all the… waste here."
Tseng presses his lips together and says nothing to that.
The President nods to himself. "Good. Keep me posted on Sephiroth's progress. The moment anything comes up, I want to know about it."
"Yes, sir, of course," Tseng bows his head. "What about Professor Hojo?"
"I'll handle him," President Shinra mutters. "Hojo has gotten a little annoying. It's unfortunate. All his best contributions are decades behind him - he lost his vision a long time ago, but… he still has his uses."
Mostly as a deterrent, yes. Tseng thinks. "Very good sir. If that will be all…?"
"Yes, yes, go - oh, and get me the full file on Sephiroth," President Shinra says and nods to himself. "I should refresh my memory."
"I will have it delivered to your desk within half an hour."
Tseng heads down from the President's office, taking a moment to arrange the file delivery. Cissnei could handle it, she has the evening shift. Checking his watch, he then considers his options, and the likely trouble waiting for him should Professor Hojo find out that Turks were involved in ferrying Sephiroth out of Midgar.
Reno and Rude are in the air, and there wouldn't be any updates either way until tomorrow. And Tseng has finished his paperwork for the day…
Loosening his tie, Tseng rolls his shoulders and mentally punches out for the day. He's out of the building and on a train before anyone can stop him - and soon after that, he's on his way down to Sector Five slums. The way down there is as familiar to him as the way to Shinra Building… though it's been a while.
He doesn't quite relax until he enters the sphere of Aerith's influence, and sees the first specks of green in the ground. Finding her isn't difficult - all you need is to follow the flowers. 
They're always facing her, wherever she is.
Right now at the Leaf House school, dressed in a pale blue dress with her long hair done up, helping the school staff arrange some sort of evening party. They're stringing fairy lights all around the schoolyard, and Aerith is setting up flower arrangements. It takes Tseng no time at all to figure out it's for someone's wedding party.
He hides in an alleyway and watches as Aerith spreads flowers, joy and life all around her, effortless and natural as breathing. She's sixteen now, and really coming into her power, that mysterious power no one truly understands, but everyone wants a piece of.
Power, which Sephiroth was supposed to have.
Tseng has read his file - all of them, even the one Hojo buried and pretended didn't exist, the one written by his predecessor, Shinra Electric Power Company's original Head of Science - Aerith's father.
How alike they two are. Aerith, the daughter of Professor Gast Faremis and Ifalna, and Sephiroth, the son of Professor Hojo and…
Sephiroth was an accidental success born out of a failure. The experiments that went into his creation made the SOLDIER program possible - but that's not what he was originally intended for. He was supposed to be the first step in the return of the Ancients… but he never showed the right signs. 
Instead what he had was raw, unmitigated power. And Shinra Electric Power Company liked power. And so the SOLDIER program took off.
If Sephiroth now starts showing powers like those of the Ancients… What would it even look like? Comparing Sephiroth to Aerith's is really like comparing a sword to a flower. They aren't even in the same realm as each other. Tseng really can't imagine it. The idea of a SOLDIER with the power of the Ancients…
Sephiroth is what Shinra made him, ultimately. He has never made anything grow. 
In the schoolyard Aerith laughs at something another girl says before making a mock offended face and throwing a flowerbud at her. They end up chasing each other around a table before heading inside the school, arm in arm, two girls with far too much hope for the world in their hearts.
Sighing, Tseng adds an annotation to Aerith's watch logs about her being in good health and safe, and turns to leave. 
He has no hope for Sephiroth, but if his existence keeps Aerith, who's growing up so fast, off the company's radar a little longer… he can't help but be grateful.

Btw I am ignoring lot of Compilation stuff here, and no one (except for SY and Hojo) know that Jenova isn't actually an Ancient.

So there's been debate on this around Twitter. Obviously Sephiroth is EXTREMELY evil and the main antagonist. But who is the most evil, the biggest scumbag in a sea of scumbags?
Genesis and Rufus are both disqualified as they both had redemption arcs. But you can categorize them as Other as well.

Rufus and the Turks need to leave and Nation can't go.
Who is the good boy left with and is he ok when Rufus returns?
Boring answer: Rufus has a dog-sitter who's been programmed into Dark Nation's psyche as "acceptable unless they make a move against Rufus". Dark Nation behaves stoically, dutifully eating all his meals and not acting up, but not really being lively either.
Tumblr media
Crack answer #1: Daddy Shinra. Dark Nation's conditioning from the labs tells him not to chew this man's face off, but his loyalty and training from Rufus say "DO IT", and Rufus isn't here to clarify. So Shinra's face gets chewed off.
Tumblr media
Crack answer #2: since the Turks are busy, ZACK! Zack is so fun! Dark Nation loves Zack! SO MUCH!!! They are bestest of buddies and Zack does a good job of taking pictures and videos of him and DN having the BEST TIME EVER.
They eat a TON of snacks in addition to DN's normal food, they go on long runs in the wastes, and they terrorize everyone in SOLDIER, especially Sephiroth. The two of them like to crowd and lean on Sephiroth and DN likes to lick him. Sephiroth pretends to be annoyed, but he finds kinship in the beast and warmth in both DN and Zack.
Tumblr media
They play "fetch Kunsel's helmet from his head, then keep it away from him". They play "who can catch the most fries out of the air". They play "smother the chocobo and the cat with affection". They play "go really fast in every direction". They play "bite the scientist aka OOPS I THOUGHT HOJO WAS A GROSS DEAD THING MY BAD (teehee)". They play "beg Angeal for snax". They play "slam into Lazard and feel bad so we have to lick him better". They play "pretend to bite Genesis and then play dodge-fire-balls".
It is a GREAT time.
Tumblr media
Then Rufus comes back, and as soon as DN hears his human approach, DN starts whining and limping and squirming and crying.
"DAD," he seems to say. "DAD, they didn't FEED ME! They TORTURED me! They didn't let me SEE YOU!!! I MISSED YOU SO MUCH AND LOOK HOW SKINNY AND SAD AND SCARED AND INJURED I AM PLEASE STILL LOVE ME!"
Rufus falls for it and cuddles his pup for days after, even though he knows full well from all the videos and pictures that DN had the time of his life.

Rebirth spoilers///
So i found this interesting portrait in the Shinra manor
Tumblr media
Is this a younger President Shinra or a relative ?
Here's a photo of younger Shinra sr from Remake
Tumblr media
If it's him, I wonder if the devs remember that from his description in TKAA, Rufus' features are described to be closer to his mother so they redesigned his father's face in Rebirth because of that.

i really don't like when FFVIIR tries to pull the "both sides have a point" stuff, but i do like the increased focus that's been put on the people of Midgar itself and how Shinra has managed to make them complicit. Barret thinks he's lighting a revolutionary spark in openly discussing mako energy's true ecological cost on live television, but President Shinra points out that this is information most people already have, and it hasn't changed their minds. Barret hasn't realized just how atomized and alienated the people of the city have become- they can't be won over with facts and figures based on moral logic when the end result is them having to give something up
the president openly admits that he doesn't have to brainwash the populace, because in setting up Shinra as the provider of their daily comforts, he already has their genuinely loyalty- and Avalanche, in turn, is the chaotic force attempting to take their comforts away, and has thus earned their ire and distrust. Barret is learning that it's not easy to save a people that don't want to be saved. at best, it will be challenging, and at worst, they'll actively fight to stop you. it was a plot point from the other culturally significant cyberpunk story of the late 90's:

“The pleasure is mine,” Lucrecia smiled. “But I didn't realize we were interrupting time with your son.”
“My son is nothing but a disappointment,” Shinra said with a cold laugh. He clapped a hand over the somber boy's shoulder. “Reeve here is an esteemed member of the company!”
“Something of a wizard with mako, too. I keep pushing him to pursue security, but he's got his heart set on urban development.”
Pendulum Reverse, chapter seven
