Re: Final Fantasy VII, Sephiroth/Cloud, D/S, "What will you do for your God?" everyone's bein gmute on why Cloud's the baddie....
Are you entirely sure that he is the baddie? Maybe this is the result of Avalanche's victory, and Cloud's got the force of the Planet behind him after they destroyed Jenova, because she doesn't want to give any more humans the opportunity to abuse her the way ShinRa did?
Put the divergence during his submergence in the Lifestream at Mideel, where the Planet removed any of Jenova and Sephiroth's hold on him and Cloud decided Sephiroth was too unstable to be killed, as the Lifestream couldn't absorb him properly?
