Drizzt Do Urden Vs Sephiroth
Drizzt Do Urden Vs Sephiroth

A match that seems to favor Sephiroth, I think this would cause some trouble for both parties. While I would like to think Drizzt outs up an epic fight, in the end I think it would be too much for the Drow to overcome.

Your thoughts?

    Drizzt is epic. I dislike D&D for having an unoriginal, but I read the Hunter’s Blade trilogy at the behest of a friend and couldn’t put it down, unfortunately, he’s nothing to Sephiroth. Only Cloud is a real match for him. BTW, anyone read my fanfic? ANYONE?!

    Sorry I had missed your entry. I somehow didn’t get notice of a new post in that section. Go there for my reply.

    As for this match, I agree. Drizzt is one of the most interesting characters in modern fantasy literature, but Seph is on a whole different league than the Drow. The fight might be interesting untill Seph decides he has gotten bored of the affair.

    Drizzt gets ROFLSTOMPED!!!

    “I dislike D&D for having an unoriginal,”
    I meant to say unoriginal setting. A tad too derivative, and I prefer Sci-Fi to fantasy. Especially sci-fi with mystical elements like Stargate and 40k.
    Part 2 of the fic is coming BTW.

    “Final Fantasy is one of the most famous game series in the history of gaming…”

    And one of the most finely crafted also. Each game has stellar and absurdly grand production values (Back in the day, Final Fantasy VI was unbelievably epic despite it’s limitations) afforded by a team of artisans equatable to the likes of Valve, Konami or Nintendo. And whilst each game is superb in comparison to the standard RPG fare available, installments number VII, IX and X are some of the best games to ever grace the industry.

    not just is final fantasy notorious for great games, it is also famous for certain people LOVING some of their games, while others hate their games.
    For example there are people who adore ff X, but others who find it as a game that was “trying too hard” and failed, in terms of characters. But most people at least hold one game from the franchise dear to their gaming hearts :)

    Ff7 is the best game ever. I would buy the ps3 just for that game. Heck, I would buy 20 ps3s for ff7, and yet, they decied to make remakes of the bad ffs.

    To be honest I’ve never really enjoyed the final fantasy franchise that much, but then again my experience is fairly limited. My FF experience consists of:
    - FF I & II, which I only played briefly because I never got into them.
    - FF VI, which I played till about half way (I got up to the bit where Kefka gives the world the screw over) before getting bored. I suppose I never really got what all the fuss about this game was, albeit I only played it last year, and have played plenty of other SNES RPGs so that might have something to do with it.
    - FF Tactics Advanced, a game which I love and adore, and is my favorite GBA game bar the remake of Breath of Fire II.
    - FF Advent Children, if I never have to sit through that again I will die a happy man.
    As you can see, fairly limited. If the new FF gets a good review though I might pick it up for 360. And being a Nintendo/Xbox owner might have something to do with my apathy towards the series.

    As for the fight, from what I’ve read of Drizzt, he gets his ass handed to him by Sephiroth.

  • Matapiojo

    They have nothign to do with one another, but My favorites are FF-VII and FF-Tactics Advanced (as well as its sequel). I also hold a special place for FF-VIII tho many hate that one, yet I cannot play FF-X more than 30 mins at a time.

    I still wish from the bottom of my heart that someone decides to do a straight remake of FF-VII. I would love to see the best FF game ever to make a re-appereance with beefed graphics.

    What I am trully hoping for is a Nintendo-DS re-launch (as it seems to be the trend). That would make me a very happy camper. As the new Phantasy Star Zero demonstrates, the device has more than enough graphic power to improve on the classic Play Station legend.

    So you deliberately played every game in an RPG franchise (All twenty-eight of them – That’s impressive), only to zealously hate each individual game for no apparent or wholly logical reason beyond an estranged and most likely retarded generalization of a massive franchise that drives you to want to physically harm the original creators?

    It’s Nintendo and Squaresoft that should be punching you, not the other way around.

    “I still wish from the bottom of my heart that someone decides to do a straight remake of FF-VII. I would love to see the best FF game ever to make a re-appereance with beefed graphics.”

    You, me and the rest of the world must have creamed when this technical demo was released in 2006.

    I think I may have been in some temporal anomaly that allowed slip space to neglect to take me into account. Is this real?

    I mean, I know the point of technical demos, but is this something that Square is actually pursuing?

    That little piece is exactly what I’ve been waiting for years! I can already see the Weapon encounters…Ruby would butcher me yet again.

    Unfortunately this was only a technical demo solely for the purpose of drawing the considerable number of Final Fantasy fans to the PS3, no more, no less.

    Whilst I would love to see a FFVII remake, the effort alone to reproduce one of the most legendary games of all time would border on Herculean, but with such a high risk factor involved (A remake of FFVII could very well alienate masses of fans) I cannot fathom Square-Enix wanting to take that chance. Especially since they usually have two Final Fantasy games under production at any one time (FFXII was in post-production just as FFXIII was entering the production phase).

    Now I’m off to pull out my copy of FFVII and ogle at Tifa’s physiologically impossible and gravity defying form for the thousandth time.

  • demongrave

    I have some insight to the technical demo that will make all fans of the FF series to have a heart attack.

    Yes, the remake of FFVII for the PS3 is under production at the time, but it’s not scheduled to be released untill 2011. If any of you have questions about this I’m sorry that I don’t have any link to show the information, but you can trust what I say.

    On another point, I am proud to say that I am one of the few that have played all of the FF games all the way through and I enjoyed all of them for their oruginality and amazing gameplay ans story lines. The only ones I had a problems with are FFVIII and FFXII. FFVII only because of the magic system, other than that it’s awsome. FFXII because it is the hardest one they have ever made, and if no one has ever played a FF game chose any other one but FFXII just for the reason that’s it’s so difficult compared to the others of the franchise.

    O and Sephiroth wins, no contest.

    “Unveiled on May 16, 2005 during Sony Computer Entertainment’s E3 press conference, the Final Fantasy VII: Technical Demo for PS3 was shown to the 2000 press members in attendance to confirm Square Enix’s development for the PlayStation 3. Recreating the entire intro of the original PSOne classic, the demo was created in real time and featured classic heroes Cloud Strife and Aeris Gainsborough. Unfortunately for Final Fantasy fans all over the world, Square Enix President Yoichi Wada stated after the demo’s airing that it was meant for display purposes only and was not proof of an actual remake of the original game.”

    -http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3169128

    Square-Enix have repeatedly stated that they have no interest in remaking FFVII at any point in the near future. Considering FFXIII is nearing release, Versus is still on their shelves and other installments of Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, Parasite Eve and Sigma Harmonics are already slated for production, it is physically impossible for Square-Enix to produce a fully-fledged remake of FFVII by 2011. Especially since it took a whopping four years and the near total commitment of Squaresoft (Plus $30 million) just to produce the original, how long do you propose that a complete re-structuring of the game, from top to bottom, would take them?

    Nope, a remake is not coming our way, unless you could provide proof, or at least a valid source to back your claims?

    yeah, I’m a huge Drizzt Fan. but I have to give this one to Sephiroth.

    reason one: Master Swordsman, and Extremely gifted Magic user.
    reason two: It took Cloud AND his whole team to bring him down, and even then it relied more on luck than skill
    Reason three: Drizz’t cant fly. Sephiroth can. and he doesnt have to come down.

    if it was all of the companions of the hall he might have a chance,and the battle would go in my mind like this. drizzt and bruenor attack seph,so he flies away thinking to just kill them with magic from the safety of the air, wulfgar throws his hammer, and catti-brie shoot at him with her magic arrows, and between the giant magic hammer and the arrows that can go through solid stone seph would be forced to the ground, where regis would use his hypnotic ruby to keep him still, then the giant panther knocks him down while he’s not looking then drizzt cut’s sephs throat.at least thats how i think it would go down , im having trouble finding any good info on sephiroth

    Well my information comes from a non-readable source so I can’t show you it. And 2011 is the year their hoping for, and it’s also the year that Sony hopes it will be released also. I’ve heard, and read all of Square Enix’s accounts about it not being remade, but there are many inside that company that still speak about it. Also since Square Enix is making a new headquarters in Texas soon then their production time will be cut in half and they’ll be able to place more products into production, that’s what their hoping for. So all in all with Sony still pushing Square Enix to remake it, along with millions of fans of the franchise, plus members of Square Enix’s production teams, the probability of them remaking the greatest installment of the FF franchise is really high. Plus it is led to beleive that all of the accounts where Square Enix says that they won’t remake FFVII is to make it more exciting for when they do announce the production of the remake.

    So no source then? I’m (We’re) supposed to take this seriously, despite S-E vehemently denying production and lacking both the interest and the time (Even with an off-shore company, productions still take just as long, manpower is not the issue here) to include a costly and financially risky remake in their already packed schedule?

    Given the time frame of the average production, plus the inherent difficulties associated with the introduction of a next generation system (It took FFX an extra year just to tweak the programming difficulties associated with the PS2), S-E would have to have started production two years ago to even begin accommodating a 2011 release. Heck, to even manage a release for 2011, those staff members (Hearsay and conjecture do not, a sixty million budget make) would already be within the programming stages of a multi-million dollar remake, with news of casting sessions, international dubbing, copyright holding and Beta programs easily reaching the public domain regardless of whether or not S-E has placed a strict PR blanket (Why would they do that for one of the biggest remakes in history?) on their activities. Even if there was sufficient interest, to reach a practical stage would require a discontinuation of the forthcoming series titles and any other installment of other Square titles that we already *know* are planned for production.

    I smell what can only be described as ripe fecal matter here, either that or wishful thinking that has sat in the sun for too long.

    You put up a good argument, and what you say makes perfect sense. But think of it from this point of veiw. If S-E is in the process of a remake, but they are worried about the project failing (even though just the title promises great sucess) they would keep it hidden so as not to anger their fans if they decide to cut the project. That is one of the main things that they worry about, mostly because they fear losing fans of the franchise through that type of mistake. Also if they kept the remake under wraps then, as I said before, if it’s relesed then the title will be received with overwhelming numbers of sales in the first week (probably more than the original). It’s all basic sales practices really. O and I wouldn’t lie about something this awsome, especially since it’s my #1 favorite game of all time. Also my information, as I said before, is real, but is not in a written or typed form. It was gathered through verbal interaction, so the only way I could show you is to type up the conversation. O, and 2011 is just the date that Sony is hoping for, and that would be the best date for a release.

    Not advertising this project (Not that it needs to be advertised, this news would leak faster than the radiator in my 1970 Sedan) with an estimated release date of 2011 would be a huge financial and PR burden for S-E. Not only would the project already be too far in development to pull the plug, but the publicity screen would be so exponential and expensive it would be impractical, unfeasible and near impossible to maintain without a ludicrous budget associated with the project.

    Do you honestly propose that over $30 million in funding could suddenly change hands, sink into an “unknown” development project and not have the industry, neigh the entire market sniffing at the rear ends of S-E. I’m sorry, but discussing sales practices under this amateurish pretext of a hidden release date is just sad.

    I’ll just leave this as a warning for others, if you choose to believe this tripe due to some delusional waning belief that they’ll remake one game from a series that has already received almost disastrous reception from in it’s attempts to re-explore the depicted universe (The compilation of Final Fantasy VII metaseries received lukewarm response – At best), expect to be severely disappointed.

    As for me, I’ve decided it would be foolish to even continue a debate with a person who verifies their sources as the word of mouth based conjecture garnered from a second – No, a third hand source that is conveniently enough inconspicuous to documentation, annotation or even quotability for that matter.

    I have to say even with the ganging up on Sephiroth he would win, even if he thought Drizzt and his teammates were worth flying into the air, arrows and a hammer are insignificant to him, simply fire would dispatch arrows and if there were alot of arrows at once firaga, also he can call a meteor and without anyone casting holy what is anyone going to do about it.

    Many of you are idiots. The post is about sword fighting and who is the better warrior (no magic). All you final fantasy fanboys should do some research before claiming seph would be the better swordsman as i can assure you he would not be. I have read all of the Drizzt novels AND have played FF7 twice through. For those of you who do not read the drizzt series or may have read one or two… here is a bit of Drizzt history. He grew up in a place called the “Underdark” where there is NO light at all thus making all of Drizzts other senses and instinct so much better. I would love to see how seph fought with no lights. as for the moron above speaking about casting Holy and Firaga gimme a damn break. Both characters are in two different worlds and two different types of magic. And Bottom line : Drizzt is still alive in his series Battling the likes of Artemis Entreri, Jarlaxle, Demons, Dragons anything you can imagine in his world. SEPH IS DEAD by cloud and friends.

    @D3-6T6

    for one could’nt you have come up with a better starwars reference?

    ” For those of you who do not read the drizzt series or may have read one or two”
    i have painstakingly tracked down every drizzt book and read them all in fact the only ones i havent read are the pirate king and the ghost king because they are not out yet.just so as you know that i know what im talking about.

    “He grew up in a place called the “Underdark” where there is NO light at all thus making all of Drizzts other senses and instinct so much better.” wrong.while its true there is no light in the underdark his race has evolved infared vision so they can see body heat.but if he were ever to go outside in the daytime with heat vision his eyes will melt from the blinding heat from the sun.sep would never be dumb enough to go underground to fight him anyway.

    “I would love to see how seph fought with no lights” he has trained in fighting for i dont know how long but im betting hes trained in the dark and the people who created him and cloud probably thought of what would happen if a bad guy hit the light switch so while i have no evidence im beting sep has night vision or something too

    “Drizzt is still alive in his series Battling the likes of Artemis Entreri, Jarlaxle, Demons, Dragons ” yes he is the best melee fighter in the forgotten realms universe so entreri and jarlaxle are no match for drizzt.the demons yes he has killed many demons but they were pretty weak comparativley and the only strong demon he ever fought was too cocky and didnt know drizzt had a sword that ate fire the first time they fought and they second time it took a suprise attack from wulgar to distract him so the elf could stab him and he never fought the dragon he outsmarted him and then ran away.

    sep could probably take on all the monsters drizt has ever fought all on his own and come out on top .on top a pile of corpses

    Bullshit Drizzt never fought a dragon. He and Wulfgar fought the white dragon Icingdeath and killed him. That is where Drizzt got his black scimitar, that he named Icingdeath, that is enchanted with ice magic. So up yours kano.

    Oh and about the fight
    I don’t know anything about Sephiroth so i can’t say, but i bet it would be an amazing fight none the less.

    I’m afraid Drizzt isn’t walking away with this one. I don’t quite buy that Sephiroth is really godlike(“God” should have a bit more weight behind it then, “quite powerful video game character”), but he is definitely at a higher level than the Drow. Superhuman abilities and lots and lots of magic. I’d like to say that Drizzt, Wulfgar, Catti-brie, and Bruenor ganging up on Seph could take him down, but in this specific match, it will only end with Drizzt’s defeat, unfortunately.

  • Ein

    I think this would be a VERY close tie
    Drizzt is really fast, even more so because he has enchanted anklets, he’s got his darkness(which may not work that well on Seph), Guen is there to help, and his left scimitar(twinkle) gives him a greater ability to block with it.
    Then again, Sephiroth is an outright bada** so he would inflict his share of wounds on Drizzt. so they both would be seriously wounded, leaning more in the favor of Seph, so yea…Sad face for Drizzt

  • Twams

    Drizzt is a better sword fighter. His speed and ability to think ahead in a fight would easily overwhelm Sephiroth’s flashy slashes. I love both characters, and I know that sephiroth is insanely crazy and evil, but they would honor the fight, and fight alone using only their swords.
