Final Fantasy 7’s Sephiroth is currently on a tour of games where he doesn’t belong, as the ‘Sephiroth should be in every video game’memetravels Twitter.
Other than his appearance in Kingdom Hearts, I know very little about Final Fantasy 7 villain Sephiroth. What I do know though is that he probably doesn’t belong in places likeCooking Mama’s kitchenor jailbeing defended by Ace Attorney Phoenix Wright- although that second one might not be too hard to believe consideringFinal Fantasy 7 Rebirth’s ending.
If you’ve been on Twitter over the last few days, you’ve no doubt come across what I’m calling the ‘Sephiroth should be in every video game’ trend. On March 17, Twitter user @eyebrowpillar innocently shared: “I think Sephiroth should be in every video game,” and it didn’t take long for the gaming community to put this to the test.
Since then, I’ve seen Sephiroth pop up in a variety of locations. Some of my favorites so far include the former soldierpeeking over the fencein kitten-collecting mobile game Neko Atsume,taking Link’s placein The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild box art, andjoining the likes of Keroppi and Kuromiin Hello Kitty Island Adventure. You can see even more examples of this below.

After studying Film Studies and Creative Writing at university, I was lucky enough to land a job as an intern at Player Two PR where I helped to release a number of indie titles. I then got even luckier when I became a Trainee News Writer at GamesRadar+ before being promoted to a fully-fledged News Writer after a year and a half of training. My expertise lies in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, cozy indies, and The Last of Us, but especially in the Kingdom Hearts series. I’m also known to write about the odd Korean drama for the Entertainment team every now and then.
