So, what exactly is cool about FF's Zepiroth?

About 8 meters beneath sea level.
Seeing a gazillion commenters named after him it suddenly dawned on me, I've got absolutely no idea why this character became such a hit. When I played the game he seemed like an emo wanker, but then again I only played it untill not that far after the first city. I think. So, what's the appeal?

For a teenager on ADD, there is definitively some appeal about a white-haired evil guy with a ridiculously huge sword in totally surreal battles. The same sort of appeal that exists for Cell, Vegeta and other wapanese grade stuff.

Baby's first Elric? Dunno, played FF7 when it came out before all the fanshit exploded. Even before my opinions became clouded by sheer hate for his retarded fans, I thought he was pretty weak character. He never got much screen time, so he hardly got any character developement. His only notable accomplishment was killing off the weakest link in your party, and even then it wasn't anything new to the FF series. Galuf from FF5, a far more interesting character who was also useful in combat, was killed off by the big baddie. And that was after having a furious battle to the death with him and kicking the bad guys ass pretty hard, alone. But none of the faggots hailing Sephiroth played video games back then, so they wouldn't know. Everything the Elric wannabe did was new, exciting and 'cinematic' to the medium.

What exactly is cool about wearing baggy pants with a waist or a crotch that almost falls to your knees or keeping your shoelaces untied? What is cool about ripping parts of your jeans?

You shouldn't concern yourself with life's unsolvable mysteries Trash.
It will consume you.

Not all anime is retarded. Mind you, weaboos actually hate "shonen" animu'... It doesn't settle well with their faggotry.

Weaboo=Gravitation
Awesome=Ninja Scroll (In the first five minutes a ninja slut gets raped, but she stuck a bunch of rat poison in her coochie and killed her rapist who was a guy made out of rock except for his big nigger cock)

Anyway, I say you guys watch One Piece. As that's going to be our future.

Global Warming is going to cause gigantic tides and turn the world into several large islands. (Nothing's free in waterworld!)

A one world government/military state is soon to follow. (Dub can't decide whether to call it marines or navy, you however can just call them daddy)

Anyone who the one world gubber'ment doesn't like is a pirate/terrorist.

I think the scene of him burning the village is what propelled his popularity, it sends a message to all the butthurt of the world who too wish to burn their neighbors or something.

He's an effective villain AND HE KILLS YOUR CLERIC. She was cute and fuckable and her limit breaks were very, very nice. And... he kills her... just like that, bro :cry: No more cleric :cry:
That added a lot of suspense to the story. Because if he perma-kills cleric, he can perma-kill anyone, including the protagonist... reallly good move, Square.
And his theme music fucking rocked.

You know the main character thinks pirates have fun and are nice happy people. There is quite high reward for his head because of his behavior and mental state. Breaking into jail to free all these happy people was one of his minor offenses.

On the other hand, they are walking without socks, which means people who like bare feet would enjoy it a lot.
