Are there two Sephiroth’s?
The answer to the question Are there two Sephiroth’s? is yes, but with a complex twist, as the Sephiroth that appears in the game is not always the real Sephiroth, but rather different versions or clones of him, including an Illusion that only Cloud can see, a Black Hood version, a Flashback version, and an Unknown existence.
