Aerith states that the whispers are unable to reach Sephiroth so I guess it's possible that it works both ways- they can't fuck with him, he can't fuck with them, at least not directly. This seems to be contradicted though when Sephiroth I guess absorbs the whispers after you defeat them? I don't know. Don't go looking for consistent themeing in a Nomura title
Tricks you into killing the only entities that can stop his plans

>Why they decided to turn Sephiroth from The shark from Jaws into the terminator I have no idea
Because literally everyone knows Sephiroth already. It'd be like trying to make a Star Wars movie on the premise that the audience doesn't know Darth Vader is Luke's father today. The times have changed, and so SE decided to include him menacingly taunting and stalking Cloud through his mind. You already knew who he was, and so does like 99% of all the other players, even if "Oh shit it's Sephiroth!" is the total summation of their knowledge.

Sephiroth was in the games manual. His description explicitly ties him to Cloud. I knew who he was when I was 11 years old and playing FF7 for the first time.
Zachary Richardson
more to the point, imagine if the Midgar that the party has their DBZ battle with Seph was actually occurring in an alternate timeline! FF7 Remake has some very grim implications. Another one being that the Remake party actually went to a separate timeline when Aerith opened that portal, so the Marlene in the Remake timeline will never see Barret again.
Nathan Barnes
We saw Sephiroth rejects and the time ghosts turning themselves into Sephiroth to prevent them from leaving town too early.
But not actually Sephiroth.
Adrian Roberts
I wasn't tricked though. I want Sephiroth to succeed.

I watched Jaws for the first time a few years ago. I new for decades the general story line and even heard of some iconic scenes. It was still a phenomenal movie and the build up was very well done. The sequels are total trash.
For someone who's never played FF7, if the remakes had just gone for being faithful remakes and done Sephiroth exactly as he was in the original game people would still have a good reaction.
Nu Sephiroth is flanderized to an insane degree.

pay fucking attention nigger
Brody Nelson
That's not Sephiroth absorbing whispers.
That's the Whispers taking Sephiroths form as to prevent you from continuing.
You can tell because the whispers were also the Meteor until the fled from it and became the wing on Sephiroth.

The thing is Remake isn't a remake I didn't say "the remake" for a reason
It's a subtitles on FFVII. It's a sequel and the subtitle Remake informs you of what this sequel is about.
As do all other subtitles on video games.
The game doesn't use remake's Noun definition like an actual remake such as SotC does.
It's using the Verb definition. To make something again but change it. instead of to make the exact same thing for a new audience with better graphics and such which was the noun definition.
