Do you Think ExDeath is the strongest Villain in the series?

[Sephiroth]

You forget that his will is only overpowered after he has been critically injured by the party. Its not like the he struggled to control the Void before then. The other issue here is that you assume that the Will of the Void is less potent than Zemus, Sephiroth, and Ultimecia's will, if the Void was powerful enough to overcome its own creator, then chances are that Exdeath's will may actually be even greater than all three of them, this can shown by the fact he can still affect the world and control his own minions even after being sealed by the crystals which are pretty much the closest thing to an omnipotent power in the FF mythos. So I would argue that he could probably overpower all three of them, or be able to blink them out of existence before they could break his concentration.

I never forget anything about Final Fantasy so don't write that all the time. There is no proof that it was because the party "reduced his Hit Points". X-Death is just the next generation of Enuo and Enuo was also able to control nothingness for some time but then was controlled by nothingness itself.

And X-Death simply has no great will. Will power is almost always in Final Fantasy one of the most important facts when it comes to "how to control the strength I want to control". And Sephiroth is written to have the greatest will of all. His will cannot be dominated, that's why he can control JENOVA and that's why he can resist the planet and that's why X-Death cannot beat him in terms of comparing will power.

And X-Death or Enuo are not the void's creator. The void existed in the nature of Final Fantasy V before Enuo and X-Death, was filled with the four elements and after Enuo released the void's power and was controlled by it the void was sealed in the Cleft of Dimensions. But there is no one who has created it than "nature" itself.

If you really want to compare X-Death's will power then we can take Zemus. Both were sealed away but still able to use their abilities partly. And yet X-Death aimed to get a power greater than the one Zemus controlled, the void's power which simply needed to control him since the story of Final Fantasy V should repeat. Both Enuo and X-Death traded their immortality (X-Death was at least very hard to kill, no one was sure if he really was immortal, but Enuo was) against the power of the void. But just because I have a Driver's License it doesn't mean I cannot lose control over the car.

What's the use in having the power to make thought and inanimate object into reality when dealing with a being who controls the power to erase it from existence? I mean, she'll just make some demonic being from Exdeath's mind and then he'll just have it swallowed by the Void. Its at best a diversion if he doesn't just have the Void swallow both of them.

X-Death does not erase existence with the void. The void is paradox. It still is a place, even though it should be no place. Just a place were nothing exists. Until something is inside it. Technically there should be no void then of course. But this is the paradox part. Also the part that in void no time and space exists. But Bartz and the others were able to live and were not frozen when X-Death locked them inside their Almagest. This is a difficult topic because they are natural things were story tellers write what they want.

The void itself really wanted to end everything in the end. But letting things vanish inside the void is not the same as erasing their existence.

In FFI, Chaos simply has the power to manipulate time bu he is definetly powerful being, yet I felt his greatest threat was the manipulation of time to create his eternal time loop. I don't think he could take Exdeath, let alone half the FF villain cast. In Dissidia he's just much beefier but he really doesn't have the power of the Void, he simply just has enough raw power to tear the cosmos apart but in reality it's Shinryu who has the real power in that game.

The natural power "chaos" is as great as the void. The void is just the balanced version of chaos. And if Chaos, the "God of Distortion", really shall be the embodiement of Chaos he is stronger than X-Death - I mean X-Death without the power of the void, of course.

You're obviously talking about Sephiroth, but you kind of forget two major facts about his power, first he has never shown the ability to mentally overpower any living being without the being being infected with Jenova's cells.

Oh really, do I?

Then what about the official statement that Sephiroth is the being with the greatest and strongest will of all, the fact that Sephiroth blocks Aerith's magic and the fact that Sephiroth overpowers the collective consciousness "Lifestream"? He didn't overpower them because "they had JENOVA cells". He overpowered them because it is in his character script that he is the strongest of all and can only be defeated by teamwork or underestimating Cloud so Cloud could unleash his Hero Bonus factor.

Secondly, while he has gained the power to halt Holy and can hold onto his sense of individuality to remain somewhat sentient within the Lifestream, once again, his will's ability to influence others is limited to Jenova's physical influence, like Geostigma.

No, it is simply not and there is nothing more to say about that. JENOVA and Sephiroth both can intrude the mind of other beings. Iphalna says that to Gast. And only because Sephiroth's pure will power which doesn't have anything to do with physical influence of JENOVA's cells was stronger than the lifestream he was able to get even more stronger. The Ultimania itself talks about Sephiroth's will power and Case of Black as well. Geostigma, et cetera are just some of many ways for Sephiroth to harm the planet and link his existence to others and to continue the story. But it doesn't change the fact that Sephiroth has the strongest will of all and that this would have been the reason why he would have successfully absorbed the whole lifestream when Meteor almost killed the planet. I don't write these things because I love Sephiroth, because I love X-Death, Kefka and Kuja as well. But I write about all of them what they can. And of course I mention the scenes or the Ultimania lines or whatever. So please don't think that I would forget anything. Because Final Fantasy is my daily main topic and about Sephiroth: Sephiroth was made from the beginning as the "super-cool, everyone has to like him because of his look, his power which cannot be surpassed and the things he does"-character. So it is not like I would write garbage here. Sephiroth is intended to be that powerful. The being, more powerful than a collective conciousness full of all life and of the lifeforms which were able to seal his mother away. Aerith even has problems to "clean" the lifestream because Sephiroth is too strong and darkens the lifestream without any problems. And every being, not only Sephiroth which is able to resist the lifestream at least somehow can use at least some of the knowledge inside of it to become stronger. Same for Aerith and Zack is also mentioned in the Ultimania when it comes to will power. And Sephiroth is meant to be the one who is able to resist everything and what Sephiroth resists can be used by him. That is part of his power which becomes even greater then. I would never call characters like Emperor Mateus or X-Death "weak" because the are not. But Sephiroth's whole strength and about how he gets stronger is based on his will power.

But of course you can think what you want. However then no discussion is needed.

@VeloZer0:

It is not like the void is "inside of" X-Death or that Neo X-Death is the embodiement of the void itself, so no one can do that. I don't even know who should be able to do that because Bartz and the others were the only one who were able to destroy him during the final battle. Neo X-Death is just the true form of X-Death controlled by the void but just because the void controls him it doesn't mean those who are locked inside the void could take opportunity of that.

@ "The party was never engulfed by the void"

That's wrong. X-Death used the Almagest. The Almagest is the "sphere" of the void. "Sphere" is a bad word combined with void, but there is no better word for it.

But you always ignore the facts and interprete them. I will not talk to you anymore. I can prove everything I say/write about Final Fantasy. And you cannot because it is simply wrong. You take facts and ignore what they really are. Just like some user here did it earlier. So let's just stop this.

@"Sephiroth does have the most powerful will, but will doesn't always promise control over your power."

No, that's wrong. That's what makes Sephiroth so special. His will power is his greatest power.
