oh and Jenova isn't controlling Sephiroth it's the other way around. The story writer said that. Sephiroth is the one that killed Aeris not Jenova. Everytime you run into him he sends a piece of Jenova down to fight you and at the end he's the final boss not Jenova. He's the one responsible for most of the events in FFVII by his direct actions. Jenova was evil and he was influenced by her but not in the way of mind control. Sephiroth set to carry out what Jenova started not because she was controlling him but because that's what he wanted to do. Had he succeeded with his goal, he would have become a god, not Jenova.

If there is a main villain other than Sephy in the game then it's gotta be Hojo, as he has a hand in almost everything that went down in the game.

If you have to talk to the storywriter after playing the game to figure out what happened....

It didn't have a good story.

 Or...

 You're not smart enough to understand the story.

The answers to questions like these are all contained within the plot; the commentary from the writers just confirmed it.

FFVII has some flaws which I'm acutely aware of.  And based on the somewhat inconsistent work put out by the writers before and since, I have a suspicion that FFVII may have been something of an accidental masterpiece. But it's a masterpiece nonetheless, and anyone who claims otherwise isn't fit to judge it.

 Ding Ding Ding Ding!  We have a winner for the most ignorant post in the thread!  Congrats!
