Default Best Final Fantasy Bad Guy?

Which Final Fantasy Villian do you think was the best? Sephiroth? Seifer? [spoiler=(FFVIII SPOILER)]Ultimecia[/spoiler]? [spoiler=(FFX SPOILER)]Yunalesca[/spoiler]? Who?

I personally say that [spoiler=(FFXII SPOILER)]Lord Vayne[/spoiler] was a total bitch. I liked [spoiler=(FFX SPOILER)]Yunalesca[/spoiler]. She was one baddddd girl. lol. I really liked her as a Villian.

I would have to say [spoiler=(FFXII SPOILER)]Vanye. His motives were realistic and yet not entirely selfish. Yet he ruined many peoples lives to obtain that power in order to free Ivalice from the Undying.[/spoiler]

Sephiroth is one of the best but he has his flaws. I viewed him as a puppet of Jenova who was really pulling all the strings.

[spoiler=(FF8 SPOILER)]Ultimecia was a worthy boss for the final battle in FFVIII but lacked motive in my opinion. But her goals were on the grandest scale when compared to the other villians. Not only did she want to control the world but time and space itself.[/spoiler]

Kuja is one of my personal favorites. He in my eyes a fallen hero. One who is confused and confounded by the questions man has been asking for ages.

[spoiler=(FFX SPOILER)]Yu Yevon and Yunalesca were mediocre villians. I have to admit Yunalesca is hot! Seymour was more of a co-villian in my opinion. His character wasn't truly evil but I really do not feel any connection to him.[/spoiler]

Overall [spoiler=(FFXII SPOILER)]Vanye[/spoiler] takes the cake. Thoughout the game [spoiler=(FFXII SPOILER)]he is illustrated as a man of honor and peace but behind the doors he is a ruthless savage.[/spoiler]

Sephiroth, obviously. There's something about long flowing locks and being the bad guy in the FF series' most overrated game that attracts me to him more than anything else. [/tethar]

Garland for “Light Warriors? You impertinent fools. I, Garland, will knock you all down!”

Kefka is a close second though, srrsly.

Would it be cliche to say Sephiroth? :happy:

Second would be Kuja for me. A very peculiar, but effective character. A kind of saving grace for me in FFIX.

I dunno, his brand of nihilism was extremely destructive to all forms of life, and anything that intentionally causes unwanted destruction of life seems to me to qualify as nothing but evil.

Anyway, gotta go with Kefka. Not only is he the the only villain who actually succeeds at all of his initial goals but he also has the best lines in the series by far. And he didn't want to kill everyone because of some stupid angst motive, he was just plain ****ing crazy, and he reveled in his insanity. He knew he was a ****ing prick, but he didn't care, nay, he took pride in the fact that he was a ****ing prick. It takes a special class of villain to pull that off.

Second would have to be Kuja, I guess. His motivations for turning evil were a lot more profound than Sephiroth's "I want my mommy, lol" or Seymour's "Life is pain and I'm gonna go listen to Linkin Park," and the scenes with [spoiler]Alexander fighting Bahamut and the destruction of Terra[/spoiler] were just breathtaking. Golbeza was excellent, as well, [spoiler]only then it turned out he wasn't really a villain at all, and the guy who'd been mind-controlling him turned out to be a total poofter.[/spoiler]

Also, I'm going to add a ****load of spoiler tags to this thread, especially seeing as a ton of people, myself included, still haven't played FFXII yet.

I would have to say that the best villain of all times is Sephiroth. I can't really tell if anyone among the members of this comunity doubts why Sephiroth should be entitled the Best Villain but now I will explain why.

A) Sephiroth evil nature was caused because his father injected him the JENOVA cells, so that means that the evil runs in the family.
B)Sephiroth burned down single handedly the town of Nibelheim.
C)He was quite a pain in the ass when you fought him in the final battle at the end of FFVII
D)Clones of hims were made! (You know, the Remnants of JENOVA)
E)Come on he is quite hard to kill if you play either KH or KH 2.
F)He almost destroyed the world with a huge damned Meteor. DAMN!
G) Must I need to say more? lol


"True friends will always be there for you no matter how many times you fight with them or get angry just because of a small problem, an insult, or even a misunderstanding. Friends love you because of what you have in your heart. No matter how far we might be from each other, we will forever be friends."

Sephiroth is the worst villain in the series, tbqh. Everything about him is a cliché, and everything noteworthy he did is one-upped by Kefka's actions in FFVI. Sephiroth almost summons Meteor to rearrange the face of the planet? Kefka rearranges the statutes and actually DOES rearrange the face of the planet! Sephiroth burns Nibelheim? Kefka burns Mobliz and a ****load of other towns! There's just no ZOMG 1337 FMV SEQUENCES for Kefka, so everyone gets swayed to Sephiroth because they're graphics whores.

Sephiroth is pretty cliché but he's no where near the worst. There are some pretty hilariously cookie-cutter villains in the series like Garland, Emperor, Xande and Ultimecia. The first three might have the excuse of being from NES games but Ultimecia? Wow she was awful. [spoiler=(FFXII SPOILER)]Vayne[/spoiler] isn't anything special from what I've seen of him so far either.

The best would probably be Kefka. I still find it amusing that a villain from a 16 bit game should have more character than most of the FF villains that succeeded him. Kefka was, pure and simply, unusually well written.

I haven't played FFVIII yet so I haven't gotten to experience the horror that is Ultimecia. Actually I haven't played the NES games either. Okay, he might not be the worst villain in the series, then, but he's easily the most overrated.

Kefka owns them all. For reasons already perfectly stated by The Man. ****ing crazy clown.


2nd would have to be Kuja, indirectly responsible for war and millions of deaths. Oh, and the destruction of another planet.

Sephiroth I can take or leave, I don't hate or love him.

Ultimecia, IMO, is the worst villain in the series.
