Appearance

 * Default
 * Operative of Legend I - Default coloration. An updated version of his main Dissidia appearance and Yoshitaka Amano art.
 * Operative of Legend II - 1st alternate coloration. Recolors Sephiroth's hair white, and his sash both under his coat and right pauldron are colored red. It is based on Messam Elmdore from Final Fantasy Tactics, who in turn was based on Sephiroth.
 * Operative of Legend III - 2nd alternate coloration. Recolors his sashes black, and his coat maroon. Based on from Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII-, another character whose appearance was based on Sephiroth's.


 * 1st Alternate Costume
 * One-Winged Angel I - Default coloration. An updated version of his "Kingdom Hearts Gear" DLC outfit from Dissidia 012. His hair is based on his Kingdom Hearts II design, while his single black and blue wing is retained, due to EX Mode being reworked into EX Skill.
 * One-Winged Angel II - 1st alternate coloration. Colors the inlay of his coat silver, his chest belt brown, the wing design on his wrists fuchsia, and his large black wing with a fuchsia gradient on the feathers.
 * One-Winged Angel III - 2nd alternate coloration. Colors his chest belt black, the inlay of his coat and wing design on his wrists colored gold, and his large wing with a golden gradient on the feathers.

Sephiroth equips katanas and greatswords:
 * Weapons
 * Masamune - Default weapon. The blade is slightly shorter than it was in the PlayStation Portable Dissidia games.
 * Mako Katana - 1st alternate weapon. An industrial blade which bears the Shinra logo and a Mako glow on the guard.
 * Cetra Blade - 2nd alternate weapon. A large saber with a more ornate black and white blade. The handguard resembles black feathers, commonly associated with Sephiroth.
 * Second Coming - 3rd alternate weapon. A more wild sword with a unique wavy and jagged gold blade, with the guard featuring a snake eye at its center.

The alternate weapons have not appeared in the Final Fantasy series prior, and are original designs for Sephiroth in the Dissidia series. The Mako Katana is based on the time Sephiroth served Shinra, and resembles the blades wielded by Weiss in Dirge of Cerberus -Final Fantasy VII-. The Cetra Blade is named after the Ancients he initially believed to be descended from, and is similar in design to Genesis Rhapsodos's rapier. The Second Coming is in reference to the initial days of the Jenova War upon his supposed return; the snake eye on the guard and wavy blade refer to the Midgar Zolom encountered during the party's pursuit of Sephiroth.

Personality
Sephiroth recognizes the threat of the planesgorgers early on, but conceals it from the warriors of Materia. His rivalry towards Cloud is toned down and he even points to him that their respective groups will need to form an alliance to deal with the threat.

Story
Sephiroth is among the villains summoned by Spiritus for the new war. Shantotto stumbles upon Sephiroth with the Cloud of Darkness and Kefka heading to meet Spiritus. In response to Cloud of Darkness's retort that Kefka "never changes" in regards to his glee at death and doom, Sephiroth says beings like Kefka thrive in the ensuing chaos.

Sephiroth attempts to ambush Bartz while the latter fights Exdeath (none of whom are aware that Materia and Spiritus had summoned them back). His attack is blocked by Cloud, with Sephiroth acknowledging his rival has indeed returned to the conflict. As the planesgorgers arrive Exdeath deduces this was Sephiroth's plan. Cloud charges at Sephiroth and demands to know what he did. Sephiroth departs with Exdeath, leaving a cryptic hint to Cloud that "soon, [the warriors of Spiritus and Materia's] goals will align", citing they'll meet again once they do.

Sephiroth aligns with the Emperor to find summons, and duels with Terra Branford at Midgar. After subduing her, he attempts to finish her off, but a hail of spells sent by Kuja forces him to back off. After Kuja heals her, the two, along with Zidane, fight Sephiroth and the Emperor. They are interrupted by planesgorgers, with Sephiroth remarking their conflict has "awakened the beast" and retreats at the Emperor's command.

True to Sephiroth's predictions, the warriors of Materia and Spiritus call a truce to stop Shinryu and stage a mock battle to draw the dragon into the open. Sephiroth fights Lightning among raining rubble, knocking her gunblade away, although Noctis retrieves it and returns it to her. Once Shinryu finally awakens, Sephiroth joins in the final assault against the dragon god, and finally bests him. With the battle finally over, Sephiroth departs to his homeworld, leaving behind a crystal imbued with his essence for Spiritus to use in his place.

Gameplay
