Maybe I went a little out of the way when I said "blatantly," but Sephiroth, now that I think about it, is really a lot like Voldemort--they both pretty much kill anyone in their way.
The time in the game that I had in mind was when you first hear that he's near in the Shinra laboratory where you meet RedXIII. Everyone that was in his wake was killed just because he wanted to get to his mother. Madness, but still you'd have to say his madness is not the good kind.
I agree; both will kill anyone who stands in their way. In that, we can both see the same point. The difference is that Sephiroth ONLY kills people who get in his way; he just doesn't think anyone else is important enough from what I've seen.

That megaman guy said:
I don't really know much about Voldemort but from what I've seen he's just a evil guy who kills people just for himself. Come on that's so basic. Sephiroth's way is way more evil. You can't say he's not evil because he was good once, it's about the time after that.
Sephiroth's way is indeed not mostly about killing but more about striking fear. He let's everyone wonder what he's doing and what he's planning to do. Shrouded in mystery he's basically planning the demise of the whole planet and everything on it.
He uses manipulation to further confuse Cloud and is partly responsible for Cloud's false memory. If letting someone remember a live that he didn't really had and partially "destroying" his live with it isn't evil than i don't know what is.
(fanboy stuff: He killed Aerith so that makes him numbero uno evil.)
Again i don't know really that much about Voldemort so i could be wrong, but I'm just proving that's it not just about long silver hair, cool long swords and fanboy/girl stuff.
No, actually, Voldemort (from what I recall) is trying to strip away the current hierarchy and rule the world. Oh, by the way, everybody knows about the holocaust, right? Where one group of people was singled out by a massive military force and slaughtered in only the most horrible of ways? Their bodies left writhing in agony, kept alive only to extend their anguish? Everyone thinks that was evil right?
Yeah, well, Voldemort is trying to do the same thing; a holocaust with muggles and mudbloods.
By the way, I have to say I think you are completely wrong. Sephiroth is not about any of that stuff. Clouds maelstrom of memories is due to being injected with jenova and mako while in close-quarters with Zack. Yes, the Sephiroth who was still frozen in mako crystal (not the one who was running around) manipulated Cloud once to get the materia thing, but nothing more after that. He's not at all about striking fear and wallowing in mystery, he's about accomplishing his goals.
Think about it. What has he ever done that pertains to this mystery theory you have? Nothing. He roams through towns and kills people who try to stop him. He walked right into Shinra headquarters and just murdered people who resisted until he got to the president. Then he skewered said president. Very mysterious.
