Kefka is so evil he even killed the GRASS!

[Goldenboko]

Now that I have gurenteed almost everyone FFVI and VII fan will read this in hopes of squabbling with each other, I can now continue

Which FF Villain do you think is the most dag, nasty EVIL!
This has nothing to do with how much they accomplished, but how much they really satisfied the definition of evil (Definition of Evil).


EDIT: When a Mod sees this can you please add Seymour to the poll I think he deserves his own option.
EDIT2: I'm totally voting Seymour when they add that.

Garland - Betrays his kingdom, locks himself with time loop, and is the Demon Lord Chaos. Seems pretty evil, but nothing special.

The Emperor - Power Hungry dictator. Seems pretty evil to me, but still nothing noteworthy.


Cloud of Darkness - I have no Idea.

Zemus - Basically a racist who is overcome with hate. A being of pure hate is pretty cool and evil though.

Ex-Death - A pissed off tree. And vengeful to boot.

Kefka - While very evil, he seems crazier then evil to me. I mean, I don't think anything he did was predetermined in the slightests. The statue thing probably went like this in his mind, "I wonder if something will go boom if I touch this?"

Sephiroth - Wants to do what Jenova wanted. I mean sure, using the planet as a vessel to travel to and destroy other planets is pretty evil and what not, but it wasn't even his Idea originally.

Ultimecia - She wanted to rule everything at once. Power Hungry Dictator wannabe.

Kuja - He was created as an angel of death, tried to get rid of his replacement, and turned on his master. Seems like a spoiled, Jealous older brother. And he acts out of fear of his own mortality. Not so much evil, as basic human nature right there.

Yu-yevon - Um, I don't know. I can't even remember why this guy did anything he did.

Shuyin - Anything X-2 related is to stupid to be evil.

Vayne - Can't comment.

Dr. Evil - He turned good in three though, so he isn't evil anymore.

In short, for truly evil villians, find a different game series.
I vote kefka because I like him.

Though it's probably more along the lines of Zeromus, you know, being hatred incarnate and what not.

[blackmage_nuke]

Anyone who says kefka is wrong because kefka is god and everything he does is right and everyone else who opposes him is evil!!!!!

[Ouch!]

While Kuja's motivations are reactions to the discovery of his own mortality and limited usefulness, I'm not willing to write that off as an excuse for his actions. Kuja definitely acts out of desperation and selfishness, and, for this, he is not undeserving of pity. However, although can justify his actions more fully than other villains in the series, I don't believe this makes him any less evil.

As far as I'm concerned, the most evil part of Kuja is that he is completely aware of the consequences of his actions. He's not bat:skull::skull::skull::skull: insane. He's not acting out because of false information. Kuja is fueling a war to ultimately destroy all life on a planet--then he goes a step further and tries to erase all existence. Yeah, it's selfish that he believes that if he can't live then no others should either, but that doesn't make it any less evil.

I'm down for Kuja.

Wow, my post has actually made a difference.

I feel special.

How does Ultimecia have a vote, but no one listed?

[Serapy]

I voted Ultimecia~

Final Fantasy has had great villains, but I feel Kefka was the greatest. He was simply a human who then went drunk with power and then destroyed the world. 'Nuff said.

[Bahamut2000X]

I voted Kefka, though there's a few others up there that I did like, but crazy anarchists are just rarely played so I had to pick him. Plus he was the first FF villain who was just a guy, and remained that way. No supernatural powers to become a demon (Chaos, Emperor) or some sort of being from another world or of another race (Zande, Zemus) but just a normal human who found power.

As for other villains on that list. I kind of liked Garland. While not played so much in the game, he had a classic demon like villain going towards the end, achieving a lot of power to become Chaos.

Zemus was another great villain I thought. Although he appears late, I liked how he was introduced. It began that you saw signs that someone was above Golbez, until finally you learn that Zemus was a being from the moon, who thought himself god compared to people from Earth, and wished to wipe out humans so he can create his ideal world. He wasn't a god, but had a god-complex going.

Sephiroth was ok, not the greatest of villains. I never really liked how he got portrayed in the game. He just had an air of "I'm so cool" flashed a pose and did something flashy, then made you fight a chunk of Jenova. Though I'm somewhat bias, I hated his character design, I'm no fan of Nomura's work, but of all of 7's character designs Sephiroth was among my 2 least favorites. The whole Sephiroth villain was a good premise I thought. A person born of a scientific experiment who finds out his existence and decides to just destroy the world. I liked the premise, but not the execution.

Other notable villains I liked were some of XI's, but I'll spare people my thoughts on all of the numerous ones in the game.

Seymour

He wanted to kill everyone.

[rubah]

ex-death just wanted to send everything to the n-zone. that's pretty mean I think. or evil rather xD Better to live under a tyrant you can one day overcome than to be sent into nonexistence and never live again :O
