To celebrate the upcoming 26th anniversary ofFinal Fantasy 7, a devoted fan completed an incredible painting of the iconic antagonist, Sephiroth. Sephiroth was recently depicted inCrisis Core: Final Fantasy 7 Reunion, a remake of the PlayStation Portable title in theFinal Fantasy 7compilation series.
Sephiroth once served as the role model for SOLDIER, Shinra Electric Company’s elite squadron of mako-infused warriors. The events ofCrisis Core: Final Fantasy 7 Reunionwould explore Zack Fair’s journey through SOLDIER and Sephiroth’s descent into the villain many would fear inFinal Fantasy 7. Ultimately, the two characters would influence Cloud Strife and his ambitions as a member of SOLDIER. Cloud and Sephiroth’s fates are intertwined once more inFinal Fantasy 7 Remake, and the remake trilogy’s story will take many twists and turns inFinal Fantasy 7 Rebirth. In the immediate future, many fans look forward to celebrating another anniversary for the ground-breaking JRPG with fan art.

Reddit user and artist u/TylorHepnerArt recently finished a superb painting ofSephiroth fromFinal Fantasy 7. The painting depicts the silver-haired Sephiroth with his signature Masamune nodachi and Black materia. Further, u/TylorHepnerArt incorporated the tragic flames that once burned across Nibelheim into the painting.
The artist’s painting of Sephiroth pays homage to the originalFinal Fantasy 7while faithfully recreating his image fromFinal Fantasy 7 RemakeandCrisis Core: Final Fantasy 7 Reunion. TylorHepnerArt was excited to shared his complete Sephiroth art piece with fellowFinal Fantasy 7fans, encouraging them to leave feedback about his work. Unsurprisingly, many of the community’s responses were positive. The talented artist plans to release more artwork leading up to the 26th anniversary ofFinal Fantasy 7on January 31.
TylorHepnerArt’s Sephiroth painting is a masterpiece that accurately depicts the character and his menacing power fromFinal Fantasy 7 Remake. Coincidentally, the painting captures the tragedy of Nibelheim through the use of flames, which became synonymous with Sephiroth throughout the past two decades.
Sephiroth will continue to play a pivotal role inFinal Fantasy 7 Rebirthfor PlayStation 5. Additionally,Final Fantasy 7 Rebirthlikely references Zack, so the two characters have unfinished business fromCrisis Core: Final Fantasy 7 Reunion. It’s clear that Sephiroth is a major threat to the planet in theFinal Fantasy 7 Remaketrilogy, and Square Enix will likely expand upon his lore in the upcoming title.
Crisis Core: Final Fantasy 7 Reunionis available now for Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
