Was there already a thread on this? I couldn't find it if there was.
How did everyone like Vayne as an FF Villian?
I find him to be the most "human" of the FF villians. He has little impetus in the plot until at least the second half, however all of his plots and motives are completely relatable. It is often human nature to get lost in the power struggle for a cause that you think is good, even though others may not. Vayne wasn't even so bad other than the power hunger. He simply wanted to free humanity (albeit taking a few lives in between).
He wasn't completely out of nowhere (Necron, Zemus, Dark Cloud), he had a backstory (Garland), he wasn't insane (Kefka, Sephiroth), and had a legitamate plan to get what he wanted (Ultimecia).
Overall, he wasn't the most menacing or harmful of villians, but easily the most relatable.
