Sephiroth originally appeared as an optional boss in the international version of ''Kingdom Hearts'', and was retained for the ''Kingdom Hearts Final Mix'' version of the game, which also added a short scene between him and Cloud. In ''Kingdom Hearts II'', his role was greatly expanded, giving him a short side-story featuring him, Cloud, and Tifa.{{fact}}<!--there should be a cite about this in one of the Nomura interviews; explain more about the side story, like why they did it, what the purpose is, basically whatever Nomura said.--> | Sephiroth originally appeared as an optional boss in the international version of ''Kingdom Hearts'', and was retained for the ''Kingdom Hearts Final Mix'' version of the game, which also added a short scene between him and Cloud.

Sephiroth's appearance in both ''Kingdom Hearts'' and ''Kingdom Hearts II'' is largely the same as his appearance in the various games of the ''[[w:c:finalfantasy:Compilation of Final Fantasy VII|Compilation of Final Fantasy VII]]'', albeit with a few significant differences. He has his distinctive long, silver hair with long bangs that frame his face, and dresses in a black leather coat. The coat has a large collar that reaches his ears even when folded back, and is kept closed by a black belt with a silver buckle around his waist. Unlike in the ''Final Fantasy'' games, Sephiroth's coat has a red-violet lining in the front. It is also noticeably more tattered in the ''Kingdom Hearts'' games. In ''Kingdom Hearts'', Sephiroth also has regular blue eyes, unlike the green, catlike eyes he and his Remnants have in the main series. The sleeves of his coat end in metal rings in place of normal cuffs, and he wears black leather gloves. There is an odd, black and red, fin-like growth on his right forearm. Sephiroth's face looks strikingly like Cloud's, which Goofy comments on in ''Kingdom Hearts II''. This similarity may explain Sephiroth's difference in eye color from his original incarnation. | Sephiroth's appearance in both ''Kingdom Hearts'' and ''Kingdom Hearts II'' is largely the same as his appearance in the various games of the ''[[w:c:finalfantasy:Compilation of Final Fantasy VII|Compilation of Final Fantasy VII]]'', albeit with a few significant differences.

Sephiroth's chest is exposed, revealing a grey strap around his abdomen with two black belts over it, as well as two brown, overall-like straps that intersect over his chest. He wears black pants and black knee-high boots, with two grey belts wrapped around each boot. His eyes are blue, and he wears a silver pauldron over each shoulder. In both games, Sephiroth sports a large, navy blue wing on his right shoulder, a design feature that has carried over to several characters associated with [[w:c:finalfantasy:Jenova|Jenova]] in the ''Compilation of Final Fantasy VII''. In ''Kingdom Hearts II'', he gains two more wings of the same color, one of which sprouts from each of his hips. Sephiroth carries his iconic sword, Masamune, as his weapon. Sephiroth is one of only two characters who does not reappear in their ''Advent Children'' attire, the other being Cid. | Sephiroth's chest is exposed, revealing a grey strap around his abdomen with two black belts over it, as well as two brown, overall-like straps that intersect over his chest.

Sephiroth is cold, calculating, and ruthless, though not entirely uncaring. He is taciturn and focused, determined to draw Cloud down the path of darkness. Like many ''Final Fantasy'' characters, Sephiroth displays stoic personality traits, coupled with an almost monotone voice. Almost emotionless, he never overreacts to anything. Sephiroth is incredibly powerful, both physically and mentally, and is convinced that his power surpasses that of anyone else. However, he is not as arrogant as others who had fallen to the darkness, such as [[Maleficent]] and [[Jafar]], but gauges his opponents and admits their skill when they prove it, as he does at the end of his battle with Sora in ''Kingdom Hearts II''. | Sephiroth is cold, calculating, and ruthless, though not entirely uncaring.
