The question I always wind up at is "Well, can he be fixed?" I know Squeenix is never going to go that route because they need a villain and so continue to push him down the vendetta path, but it's interesting to wonder.
Dang, one of my retardedly long fics was about that, many many years ago, before AC or Compilation was a dollar sign in Squenix's eye. :) I wrote the damn thing, but in retrospect I kinda feel like I don't want him to be fixed. I like him arrogant, showing his teeth and sneering Cloud's name. I like Cloud's pity for him, too.
... so what are your thoughts on Aeris?
Hehe, I have a fic about that, too. My thought is really that she is--like you said--similar to Sephiroth in a lot of ways. Not just with her struggles but also in her tendencies. She's noble, but she can also be very chilly.
And I also agree that she is the one with the true victory at the end. :)
