[b]Burning Thought, that's what the creators said:As you can see, they used the word "strong" to describe Cloud's speed and skill. When they say "character A is stronger than character B", they aren't only talking about physical strength, but speed, skill, power, etc. They are just saying that character A is better than B.
Now, read what they said about Sephiroth:
As you can see, there is nothing stronger(faster, more powerful, more skilled, etc) and above Sephiroth in FFVII. And that includes Chaos Vincent and Omega Weiss.
About Holy... It was the ultimate destructive magic. Nothing on the planet could stop it, after being released(and Aerith released it before dying). But Sephiroth could.
It was summoned by Aerith, and was pushing against Sephiroths will with a lot of strength. Strength enough to destroy everything on a planet. And he still could hold it in place, while using his TK to crush the bodies of everyone in Avalanche(and fight with them later). [/B]
did they say that about cloud in the same interview, the problem with all this is its a statement that conisdering what has been shown of sephiroth, nothing adds up, so it leads people to belive that what the creator is saying is diffrent also by faster it could not neccerily have to be a great deal either. This is all theory, of what the developer said, when he speaks of Cloud he may well be talking about speed, but that does not mean its the same with Sephiroth, and it also does not mean hes greater in all attributes
hell it could mean exactley what you said "better" but not neccerily greater in every attirbute
also who is Aerith, is she powerful? i mean hell she summoned the thing, she must be incredibly powerful magic user? theres still no logic to think just because its powerful, it immediatley has to be difficult to control, its not exactley a sentient force that can attribute its power to getting free or any of that like a lightning bolt cannot or does not think of dispursing its heat through the planet to destroy Earth when it strikes
