Is Cloud or Sephiroth the farmer? Or are they both villagers? Because if anyone needs to leave their soulless corporate job it’s Sephiroth, but I could also see Cloud slowly repairing the community center.

Cloud’s the farmer.  He takes over it after his mom dies.  In this AU the town is still Nibelheim and he’s still an outsider, but he never dreams of becoming a SOLDIER.  Instead he just lives in his little bubble of trying to help his mom out, until the farm is eventually his.

Sephiroth meanwhile follows Crisis Core canon up until his breakdown in Nibelheim whereupon he winds up on Cloud’s farm, his breakdown interrupted and stubbornly refuses to leave.

Is...Sephiroth actually any good at helping Cloud with the farming? I can see him doing heavy lifting stuff and maybe animal care some but not knowing what to do with a plant at ALL

Sephiroth’s main goal is to take out all his anger on the trees and rocks clogging up most of the farm.  He’s distinctly Uncertain what to do with the animals for the most part.

Other than that he eventually ends up “making friends” with the Adventurer’s Guild and starts clearing out all the monsters in the area for money.  The village still isn’t sure they like him hanging around but they’ve never been safer, that’s for sure.

At first he definitely hinders more than helps.  He immediately breaks Cloud’s axe, so Cloud sends him off to find ore so they can get a better one.  (after he dulls masamune a few times when he gets annoyed and uses it to cut down some trees.)

It’s a learning process.

(he knows a TINY bit about plants, but thats mostly what he heard from Angeal.)

Which one of the pair is the one who finds weird little sprites in the community center that'll give them things in exchange for offerings? And how do they feel about that?

Hopefully Cloud.  I’ll let Sama remark more on it

Cause like... I’m pretty sure Sephiroth would kick the poor things.

On the other hand the idea of the Junimos really liking Sephiroth is fucking hysterical.

I think at the end of the day they’d like Aerith best though.  (Did we mention she was in here somewhere? ;D)

question: how did you come up with it

Sama and I have a co-op Stardew game where we play as Sephiroth and Cloud ;D

I am entirely here for this because I am absolutely playing a run of Stardew as Sephiroth, and if I knew anything about modding, I would turn Sebastian into Cloud. Does your farm specialize or is diversification key?

diversified, definitely.  Sama and I go balls to the wall with seeds as much as we can.  And since we’re playing heavily modded (after spending so many goddamned hours playing this game) it’s easier to make money.... and boy do we ever make money. :D

Gotta plant ALL the things.

AUwise Sephiroth actually really likes that he can get his hands on his food fresh.  because, sharing a headcanon with CC, he’s very picky about controlling his food and who makes it.  Namely himself.

If Shinra sends Zack after Sephiroth in the SDV!AU, the person I'm feeling sorry for is *Cloud*. B/c if Seph even bothered to warn him that Shinra was sending someone after him, he'd be expecting someone terrifying not... a human puppy. WHO'S WEIRDLY ENCOURAGING SEPHIROTH'S NONSENSE. Seriously, he's here for half a day and he's already scrounged up better tools from SOMEWHERE, and made friends with the Junimos, and can he bring some plants back for his girlfriend? Cloud is Not Prepared.

Funny enough, it’s even FUNNIER, because Cloud already knows Zack.  See, Cloud’s signed up for a florist association (which is entirely just Aerith.  There is no other association) and writes letters to Aerith who has him get her flowers.  She usually has Zack head to Nibelheim to get them for her when he isn’t busy.  So they’re already friends.

Zack does come with Sephiroth on the Nibelheim mission like in canon.... and they even have a local guide.... A woman named Abigail who wanted to become SOLDIER but was turned away because Sexist Assholes.  

Boy, is she sure happy to see Tifa again.......... :3c
