Critics have also commented on Sephiroth's role in other games. In relation to "Crisis Core", IGN AU stated that "even Sephiroth gets his moments in the sun," praising the depth in his backstory, which would later make his boss battle more entertaining. IGN UK agreed, stating that his character was granted "a more human dimension" and enjoying some of the events from before his transformation into a villain. "GameSpot" agreed, finding his portrayal more likable. His boss battle was also shown in 1UP.com's "25 More of the Most Badass Boss Fights Ever" in which the staff praised how the original battle from "Final Fantasy VII" was expanded in the title. DualShockers praised the quick addition of Sephiroth in the remake as he claimed it was Square's right decision, making the remake stand out. The idea that there are four characters with Sephiroth's name led VG to note the remake still had its own mysteries that original players would not understand while the title. Siliconera described this incarnation of the antagonist as haunting, due to how he often appears within Cloud's hallucinations across the plot. "EGMNOW" felt the remake's Sephiroth was more menacing in than in the original due to his constant threats towards Cloud.
