Once again, the creators of the game said Sephiroth was holding back Holy with his own power.
Quote please. Quote specifically saying "his own power".
And when he absorbed the lifestream that power became his, unless you think every member of SOLDIER, Cloud, Vincent, and everyone else who's strong in the game is just leeching off something, then the argument fails.
I don't think Tifa is.
But Vincent is kinda. He was given powers he didn't originally have.
Same for Cloud's enhancements.
He was a pansy before but got stronger after the experiments on him and the J-Cells.
Good job reading shin. If you'll refer to my first post in this topic you'll see it said that Sephiroth can't become intangible.
"The fact that you think you know as much about Sephiroth as me or SHM"

"He can turn intangible because we already watched him do that, in two different occasions."
Make up your mind. You say you and SHm know more than I do and yet SHM thinks we saw Sephiroth go intangible....
If you think speaking the facts is trolling there is something severely wrong with your mind.
Your "facts" are repeatedly saying things were never stated.
You claim to use the creators' words but, GASP, you haven't even provided one. You say they said this and that. How about backing it up?
Like this.
Not in the game, but its creators said that it was absorbing all that mako that made him into Safer Sephiroth.
Note that the UOG odes not count as what the creators say. It wasn't even written by Square.
And
That Jenova argument is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Jenova was destroyed by the party before Safer even showed up, how do you merge with what doesn't exist anymore?
Sephiroth ALWAYS planned to merge with Jenova.
Sephiroth
"Mother..... it's almost time... Soon..... we will become one."
And why didn't people get Geostigma before? Because the Jenova Cells were active. Jenova was "alive" and the cells could be manipulated by the host for their needs such as with Cloud getting his "false" memory when he met Tifa. That was the J-Cells in action. Then the Reunion starts and the cells are compeling the hosts via Sephiroth. But when Jenova is beaten a final time in 7, her whole body is destroyed.
The cells became innate, harmful foreign things in the body. Thus, as Vincent explains, Geostigma is the body's immune system overloading while trying to get rid of the J-Cells.
Vincent: 'Geostigma' is when your body has overworked itself purging wicked substances from within itself.
Cloud: Wicked substances...(his expression shows that he knows exactly what they consist of)
Vincent: There's something that resembles the lifestream flowing within our bodies, and that's what's fighting the evil substances that have intruded within. The Calamity from the Skies....Jenova.
Just posting this because, unlike you, I back up wheverything I say with evidence.
You may have a minor point in Seph making Geostigma though. People still have Jenova Cells in DoC but no one is getting Geostigma any more. So, who knows.
