Do you prefer the ultimate badguys in FF to be Big Bloaters like Sin or regular sized hunks like Sephroth. I know that regular badguys have the habit of appearing huge, but im talking throughout the game.
personally i like em BIG lol :love:

Nah... little bad guys are more threatening. Theoretically, its the same as a gigantic dude who can bench 350 versus a more sleek guy who can bench 325. The giant might have a little more power, but the sleek dude is almost bound to be more agile, quicker, faster, and is definitely a smaller target, while packing almost the same punch.
Hmm. I'm not sure. I think the sight of Sin approaching is a LOT more scary than the sight of Sephiroth approaching. Really. And if you really saw Kuja approaching, come on you'd probably just laugh. xD I like BIG bad guys, not that Sin was exactly a "guy" as such, but I think the whole Sin concept was pretty interesting and different from just having a villain like Sephy or Kuja. Although I like them too. ^_^
i prefer the massive villians because you can take advantage of the notion of fantasy much more. Sephroth was still just human (in form at least) and so he could be beaten in combat and swordplay, but Sin was, well miles up and gigantic. even if he landed you would have to cut your way through his Sinspawn.
Sins just a mindless killing machine though, right? I like my bad guys to have a little more plot like Sephiroth and let them unleash the killing machines.
Well, not really, there was a whole plot to Sin too. I just can't be bothered to explain it.. xD
More of a method to becoming sin than a plot. The only real plot was the reason he was created, admittedly interesting but I'd have preffered a character.
Yeah, but not because he's small. Rather, because he so damn manly. He's super-duper.Quote:

Kefka was a normal sized villian and he was scary and evil as hell. He is a way better villian than Sephiroth, Ultemecia or any of the later villians. I'd fear him way more than Sin, and definitely more than Sephiroth, who just a man with extraordinary abilities, not a monstrosity like Sin.
But as I said, it all depends on character development. Without the right development, Kefka wouldn't seem as evil as he does, therefore, wouldn't be as scary.
And for those of you blasphemers out there, Kefka is a bad from Final Fantasy VI, the best one they made in the numbered series. Way better than 8, 9, or 10, and just a bit better than 7.

Um yeah in your almighty opinion.

I think they're all boring as heck, with the exception of FF7 which was really good.
FFX is like watching a movie. A good movie, but still very little game play. I liked the cloisters, but other than that, you do more watching and listening that you do fighting or playing.
FF9 is okay, but couldn't hold my attention. When I played FF1-FF7 (and FFT, mind you), I couldn't stop playing. I'd go to school and all I'd think about is getting home to play it. But with FF9, I was hoping the game would hurry up and be over so I could move onto another one. I don't know... It just didn't have the magic that the others had for me.
FF8 is awful, terrible, boring, lame, and too focused on love story. They all (prettymuch) have love stories, but even the commercials for the game advertised it as a love story. That's not what FF games have ever been all about.
I haven't gotten around to FFX-2 yet. I will soon, though.
I just wish that everyone could experience the magic I experience with FF6. It really is incredible, even to this day. I still hurry home from school and work to play my fave FF games, and find myself quite addicted to them, which is something that just never happened with FF8 and after.
But to each his own, y'know?

Ok I was out of line and I see your point about only playing VII and X. I just get annoyed one someone declares one game better than all the rest.
I think the best villains look just like the heroes.
Why is that?
I don't care how big or small the enemy is so long as they're well developed villains.

The best type of villain is small, Kuja for example, he could be related to and you could tell he had a reason for his actions. Plus the fact that he doesn't attract mass ammounts of fanboys/girls is good too.
