Sephiroth's Intense Gaze
The character Sephiroth from Final Fantasy 7 is known for his captivating emerald green eyes. 
His entrance is always marked by his iconic theme song "One-Winged Angel", which has become synonymous with the character's appearances in the game.
The Story Behind His Theme Song
Creating this distinctive tune was no easy feat. Composer Nobuo Uematsu admits that the process was challenging, but the result is a piece of music that has become legendary in the gaming world.
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is the latest entry in the PlayStation-exclusive remake trilogy of Square Enix’s most recognizable Final Fantasy game. In a recent interview with NewsPicks, Uematsu discussed the challenges he faced while composing Sephiroth's theme.
The Challenge of Composition
According to a translation by Aitai Kuji CEO Audrey “aitaikimochi” Lamsam, Uematsu said he had a difficult time putting the villain’s motif together. He was constantly thinking about Sephiroth, much like how the character occupies Cloud's thoughts in the game.

Uematsu's Struggle with "One Winged Angel"
Uematsu confessed that he struggled with creating the song. He would spend his days at the office thinking about Sephiroth and writing music. This process lasted for about two to three weeks.
Final Thoughts
In the end, Uematsu found the writing process tough but enjoyable. And that's great for everyone, because Sephiroth is a challenging but fun boss to encounter.
Uematsu's Future
Uematsu recently told Zeit Online that he doesn’t think he has the physical and mental strength to score games anymore. Although he plans to continue working on individual songs, he doesn’t intend to create full-game soundtracks anymore. His health comes first, and we wish him all the best.
