#dissidia opera omnia

[altocat]

Shoutout to Cloud for both hating Sephiroth's guts while also recognizing the tragedy of the situation. I have no idea why Opera Omnia of all things is like the only game to address the inner complexities of their dynamic.

idk what this is. I just wanted to draw Zack in a bunny suit. I feel like I should apologize for making this.

I am so sorry, Zack's huge tits u_u

I finally get to upload my piece for the Zack Fair zine I did a while ago now! I’m still really happy with the colors and the rendering of their outfits. Thank you again to everyone who purchased a copy! It was fun getting to work on the zine and It was nice seeing all of the work everyone did for it.

One of my sketch pages I did will be below, it’s based off of one of my favorite moments from Dissidia Opera Omnia:

[rosy-crow]

One of my fav Dissidia Opera Omnia moments is when Rufus tries to tell the crazy nihilist clown god of destruction that he’s wrong because there is always business strategy and good PR and Kefka is legitimately like “what the fuck are you talking about”

Oh and, this too

That gosh darn stupid Sephiroth always ruining things

Aerith totally had a slight crush on Tifa.

Angeal’s Regret

This is a good translation of Angeal’s words here, but I wanted to explain something very painful that we learn from the Japanese.

Dissidia:

ところがひどく心配させたようでな

やつれた顔を見たときは悪いことをしたと思った

However, it seems it caused him to be extremely worried.

When I saw his haggard face, I thought I had done something wrong.

Crisis Core:

セフィロス やつれたか?

Sephiroth, are you haggard?

Angeal uses the same word to describe Sephiroth’s condition in Dissidia that he did in Crisis Core.

やつれた

“yatsureta”

I found a good definition of it for English-speakers:

Angeal noticed that Sephiroth was gaunt, exhausted, and worried. Unhappy. We can see this exact state of Sephiroth in Crisis Core. Many of us describe him as depressed and worn. I think that is a fair assessment, because it was evidently so noticeable that Angeal saw it immediately.

In Dissidia, it’s a key point of regret. Angeal remembers how Sephiroth looked and realized it was because of his and Genesis’ disappearances. When he tries to speak to Sephiroth in Dissidia, he also realizes that Sephiroth was alone when he discovered his origins.

“Sephiroth…did you come to know of your birth? I had Genesis at that time…but you…”

Angeal regrets. He wishes he was there and communicated better to his dear friend. He did not understand at the time, just how far Sephiroth would fall after, from his perspective, being left behind.

Zack: “You all had a really good relationship.”

Sephiroth: “Hmph, I wonder…”
