I've always liked Zemus, while he wasn't a villain that hung over the plot like most villains did, I felt that he had a better introduction and much better backstory than previous show stealing bad guys like the CoD and The Emperor. Still, he is constantly getting thrashed on by people and called out as a Necron type villain, which I don't feel is completely fair. So what are your thoughts on FFIV's final villain?
He'd hated because people loved the hell out of Golbez. Necron didn't hijack the plot of FFIX and say "Kuja didn't do any of this! It was ME ALL ALONG!" Zemus did do that and suddenly the badass 20 feet tall guy in armor who took Meteor to the face with no real harm and had a bitchin' pipe organ theme is now just the puppet of Moon Hitler.
Golbez doesn't even have a personality or character in FFIV because of Zemus.
