Eventually, the pair reach the Sector 5 Undercity and will be given the chance to explore the houses and stores of those who dwell there. He decides to accompany her until she does, but the path forward is sprawling with frightening foes who seek to bring their venture to a halt. Upon meeting Aerith in the Sector 5 slums, Cloud will take it upon himself to ensure his new companion returns home safely. Celes responds to this by reminding Setzer of everyone else who had lost their livelihoods due to the Empire, inspiring him to join the party to avenge all those who suffer similar fates. He was actually driven to fight the Empire because it was 'bad for business,' a much less noble reason than the one he previously had. Translator Tom Slattery explained that the Empire never made Setzer rich and that this line delivery was a mistranslation. However, the GameBoy Advance version released a decade later saw Setzer displaying an entirely different personality. Though his obsession with money is never doubted, the fact that he would risk it all to save the lives of millions of people suggests his avaricious tendencies do not define him. This fact makes his character even more compelling when he decides to stand up and fight against them for the sake of humanity. While introducing himself to the party, Setzer states that he owes his success to the influence of the Empire. He is a roguish gambler who harbors little love for the Empire, but his line in the Super Nintendo version of the game somewhat negates this. Setzer is arguably one of the most mysterious characters present in Final Fantasy 6. When the battle with this ancient alien has concluded, Jenova finishes by saying 'Beacause you are a puppet.' Later releases of Final Fantasy 7 corrected this distracting spelling error, but it remains one of the more memorable mistranslations in the series. Before he leaves, he informs Cloud that he has no right to feign anger or sadness, but before Cloud can ask why, Jenova attacks. As is tradition, Sephiroth flees the battlefield, but not before summoning a piece of Jenova to attack the party in his stead.

With Sephiroth now in possession of a materia capable of destroying the entire planet, the party ventures to the Forgotten City in an attempt to stop him from using its power to summon Meteor.Ĭloud journeys to the depths of this Ancient City only to find that Sephiroth is awaiting him in the final room.

After besting the trials within the Temple of the Ancients and receiving the Black Materia as a reward, Cloud falls victim to the Jenova cells within him and hands the materia to Sephiroth.
