Well, yeah, I think so, too. I mean, his transformations are the result of years and years of gathering strength and pretty much utilizing all the power his Jenova Cells possessed. Still, he is all show. His character is flawed. I mean, look at it. "I live a life of significane and am not exactly friendly, but I am not cruel. But now... I'll read some books and go insane!!!!" Sheesh.

I've heard Seph is better in AC, but I doubt even that will make me like him.
