So that's a yes.
have you discovered the other important thing about that unit
"Game balance? What's a Game Balance? Can you eat it?"

Come now, I think including a living Game Shark code for people who just want the story to finish is novel!

He does serve another purpose. If you've had a disaster of a playthrough with droves of crystalized party members and a ruinously built Ramza, he's there to carry you over the finish line.

I kind of admire a gamer who would play all the way to Chapter 4 just to get this character to salvage a playthrough instead of rage-quitting all the way back to the beginning and starting a new build from a blank slate.

Somewhere, somehow, there is a player who somehow managed to get past the battle marathon ending chapter 3 doing well enough to not get smeared into the pavement by their bad Ramza build hitting Wiegraf like a car into a brick wall but badly enough to not be able to clear the game without cheat character hand holding so infamously overpowered its one of the only things I've heard about Tactics other than the bad PSX translation and bits relevant to later games.
I would like to meet this person, shake their hand, and offer them a job in the garment industry because clearly they are masters of threading the needle

As much as I adore Matsuno as a writer and director, he needed to slap Hiroyuki Ito in the face for how many tools to break the game the player is handed after Chapter 3. Considering that Ito has been stated to have used the NFL as an inspiration for combat design in other games in the series, I can practically smell the Draft Pick metaphor he used to convince the team that the party needed *redacted*, Beowulf, Reis, and the others that you get after Wiegraf's Folly.
There's a another down side to getting the hyped man.
Any one you could get or build up next is immediately compared to them.

They are a legend for a very good reason. I dunno, I don't think I have ever seen any other
JRPG that hyped a character as a legend and then have you play them as the legend they have been hyped as.
Put their equipment away and the character is still pretty good too. It hurts the gameplay sure, but damn it's so satisfying.

Poor Sephiroth. He got a gameplay segment in the original FF7 where he obliterated all the foes he faced, and apparently no one remembers. He is not even a memory.

I have never played FF7 lol. My brother bought FF9 instead of FF7, and I have never been attached to Sephiroth. Never had PS2 either, so I never played mainline Kingdom Hearts games. I just played the GBA spinoff card game and the PSP one with Ventus, and that one never had Sephiroth in it.
I know him because of cultural osmosis basically.
Is he actually playable outside of Dissidia games though? I legit thought we never got any playable segment of him ever, just always fighting the guy.

During a flashback he's a uncontrollable party member and he one shots the various encounters you have. Said encounters would be challenging with your party in the future.

The beginning of what's basically the second act starts with an extended flashback to Cloud and Sephiroth's history, where Sephiroth is an uncontrollable party member who easily deals ten times the amount of damage your party members currently do. You travel through a dangerous monster-infested area where Cloud can't do any damage and goes down in just one hit, but despite the random encounters being enabled, it's impossible to ever actually lose because Sephiroth will hard carry you through everything.
This Let's Play goes through this sequence starting here, though tragically text can't capture the absolutely amazing music that set the mood.
