I think it amazed me when, playing FFVII, you reach the flashback in which Cloud joins him to Nibelheim, and then the train stops 'cause there's a dragon or something like that in the railway. Then, while Cloud can't do a higher damage than 150, Sephiroth could do a 2000-3000 damage (I can't remember numbers, but it was something like that). I was like... woooowww
I sure DO understand why Cloud shows that respect for Sephiroth (at the beginning XD )
It was like a big challenge, and a suicide somehow at the beginning... I was so excited/afraid everytime I met Sephiroth... lol
That game easily overexcited me XD I was too sensitive back then too XD
