So we've had all sorts of talks about best FF villain but Square made other games too.
So who's the best?

I have a preference for the "fallen hero" type of villain but I think it was very well done with him. Lacan was just a dope in love who also happened to be around during a war for the freedom of most of the planet. Just after he finally confessed his feelings she goes and kills herself for him. A devastated and vulnerable Lacan then stumbles upon what is essentially his dead love's evil counterpart. Playing on his self-loathing, Miang mindsmurfs him into seeking Zohar. Unlike Fei, Lacan didn't have a chance to get his head on straight before talking to God.
Imagine your girlfriend died right in front of you. Then, while you're still trying to cope with that, you learn this has happened at least twice before. By all appearances, your destiny is to find the woman of your dreams but only so she can be brutally murdered while you watch.
Lacan's chat with God pushes his unstable mind over the edge. His newfound powr and insanity nearly brings about the extinction of all life on the planet. Only he's able to regain his sanity long enough to see his best friends put him to death.
Only he doesn't die. The woman he loved with all his being asked him for only one thing. And so, even if it meant living as a parasitic spirit driven only by hatred, he lived on. He resolved that, if destiny entailed nothing but perpetual loss and suffering, the only way to make it all stop was to completely destroy the human race. After all, if every last human was dead, he and Elly could no longer be reincarnated.
This was also the best scene in the game.
