Not really seeing a big difference...

Maybe it's that the card has both arms in addition to a wing instead of it replacing an arm like the original? I personally don't think that warrants an article, but hey websites gonna click bait.

Both arms was my first take too considering he's specifically named the one winged angel because of the one black wing replacing his arm, but he does have a whole extra head visible behind the text, in the same way Bizarro Sephiroth had a big Sephiroth and then a tiny Sephiroth on top - the topless, black wing form sits on a cloud that sits on top of another bigger Sephiroth with white wings instead of just having 6 wings replacing his legs. And there's still more werid shit going on behind that text that I can't make out. With how they brought Bizarro Sephiroth in Rebirth, they could be doing the "multiple teams attacking different sections" take again.

Good point. I didn't see behind the text without opening a bigger image. The article mentioned it was drawn so the front and back image stacked for the full picture. When you look at it from that perspective it could also be regular sephiroth holding something up between the two of them.

Regardless though I gotta take it with a grain of salt. Someone on the design team back before the first remake launched said to pay close attention to the game's key art and we'd find something interesting. If I recall it was only a black feather or some other mundane feature that didn't reveal anything spectacular even after playing the game. It was just marketing to get people talking.

I can't help but think this is similar. Fun stuff to think about while waiting for the game but probably won't amount to much even when we've seen the final product. I'd love to be wrong though and this is actually hiding a new twist. Time will tell.

It's the nipples.

Also, I’m extremely thankful Sephiroth wasn't trans🏳️‍⚧️ in the final draft. It would have set the queer thesis in the wrong direction.
