It looks like Final Fantasy VII<\/em> <\/strong>antagonist Sephiroth <\/strong>has been getting some attention regarding his nipples lately. The discussion started when a Twitter user named apolo posted an image of a Sephiroth bust statue. While it\u2019s only a recreation of Sephiroth\u2019s upper body, from what we can see in the pictures, the quality is quite high. The statue also has a couple of pink nipples attached under his clothes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And it\u2019s these nipples that many fans are fixating on. Even Kotaku<\/a> has written an article about them. However, this Sephiroth bust isn\u2019t an official product. It\u2019s a fan-made item by FantasyToys Studio and not for sale to the general public. The bust is currently only available publicly via the images uploaded online. For that reason, the color of Sephiroth\u2019s nipples should not be construed as official.

Is it correct for Sephiroth\u2019s nipples to be pink? In the original Final Fantasy VII<\/em>, a shirtless Sephiroth appears, but he\u2019s posed in a way where his arms block his chest. Plus, the game doesn\u2019t really show a close-up of his chest area, so it\u2019s not possible to determine if he has nipples or what color they are. Although his chest area does become more visible in his Safer Sephiroth form. There are other games where Sephiroth appears shirtless, though, like his \u201cAnother Form\u201d variant in Dissidia Final Fantasy<\/em>. But they\u2019re depicted in such a way<\/a> that it\u2019s hard to confirm if they exist or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From there, the nipple hiding continued. In Dissidia Final Fantasy Opera Omnia<\/em>, Sephiroth appears shirtless but is designed in such a way that his hair obscures his chest. And even with the in-game 3D model, it\u2019s difficult to make a determination about it they\u2019re there or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
