People say that Sephirot killed Aerith.
But wasn't it in fact a part of Jenova impersonating him, Jenova-Life, which you fight immediately after, that did it, while I'd agree that Sephirot was of the same mind on the question?
Sephirot himself is basically chilling out in the Northern crater for most of the game while you go around chasing around Jenova parts in Disk 1 and 2.
Am I correct?

Yes, you're correct. Congratulations for paying attention.

I don't think the japs care as much about her death or such minutiae as much as those in the West. Maybe it's just my impression.

But wasn't Sephiroth controlling Jehova the whole time?

Yes.

Sephiroth is directly responsible for her death but he didn't actually commit the act of killing her.

No idjit, it was the will of Jenova but she didn't do anything because she's fuckin dead.

Eh.. Pretty sure it's more like Jenova cells corrupting Sephiroth's mind, and then Sephiroth directly manipulating the rest of Jenova through her head, rather than Jenova directly manipulating Sephiroth.

Dead is a misconception. The ancients only managed to seal it. Also you end up fighting an arguably autonomous Jenova at the end

It looked pretty good for its time, and anyway, overworld sprites aren't really indicative of its general quality.
Plus for some reason Square had this hardon for naked polygons, which arguably worked pretty well in Tobal Nr 1 and Nr 2.

Basically an cosmic horror of a being with a desire to kill and assimilate all life. Completely mindless. Original form seems to be a humanoid yet alien female. Seems like it drifted from planet to planet. Also, wasn't the lifestream of planets involved?

Sephiroth doesn't actually exist. By the time of FF7 he had been dead for years. The Sephiroth you fight during the game is actually a figment of Cloud's imagination - that's why none of the other characters in the game can actually see him.

Guise, what if Aerith was dead all along? The Aerith Zack and Cloud saw was actually Jenovah impersonating Aerith after absorbing all of her cells and memories à la The Thing. Unfortunately, Jenovah-Aerith had fallen in love with Zack and later Cloud. The death of Zack taught Jenovah-Aerith what love is and how it feels like. These novel human feelings conflicted with her primary goal to absorb/kill everything on the planet. Despite not wanting it to happen again, she fell in love with another person, this time being Cloud. Not wanting to experience heartbreak again, she let herself be "killed" by Sephiroth. However, she was unable to ignore her human side, and her love for Cloud only grew stronger. Eventually, her human side won over, and she decided to sacrifice herself to save the human race by using up all of her power to stop the meteor.

I thought it was a Cetran woman that the Jenova virus from the meteor infected/was sealed inside.
