I stopped reading after the line "Sephiroth is oft considered one of the biggest bad asses in videogames."
Actually, that's a lie, I kept reading, but still... wow.
Anyway, as a counter point, so what? If people have selective memory, that's their problem. Final Fantasy always had that outlook, serious mixed with comical. Lali Ho, Moogle, Opera, Golden Saucer, Musical shows, Traveling Theatre, Blitzball. Final Fantasy always contained weird little quirks, and often rather enjoyable ones, and HD wouldn't hurt them at all. Well, that's my opinion.
And a hell of a lot more solid than the Sephiroth one. Jesus, bad assery has fallen and no amount of phoenix down will revive it.
See Ya George.

At least following a comedians own jokes makes his death easier.
