Award Chocob: Woah! It got a little feisty there for a moment when Red XIII went face to face with one of the Shinra guard dogs... pretty sure there was only ever going to be one winner there!

Please give a warm welcome to the presenter of this award...
Rinoa Heartilly

Rinoa Heartilly: During the run of our adventures, we have faced some astounding villains, some scary, some sexy and some just plain creepy. I was even possessed by a monstrous villain, an evil sorceress set out to destroy time, and tear holes through the fabrics of reality itself. And that wasn’t the greatest experience of my life.

With that in mind, we can reflect on what facing these villains taught us, it taught us to stand up and fight for what we believed in. To fight for our world and our people, to fight for ourselves and to fight to protect those we love. It taught us to fight for love.

Through fighting these villains, we battled our own inner demons along the way and learnt things we never knew, and did things we never believed we could do.

Emperor Mateus attempted to reach World Domination, and would do whatever it took, including using demonic forces to succeed in his attempts.

Kefka Palazzo was the maniacal clown that gave us all nightmares with his Magitek destruction!

Kuja was the Genome intent of harnessing all of the power of the mighty Eidolons to wreak his revenge on those that created him.

Rufus Shinra and the Shinra Corp were the force behind destroying Gaia and it’s lifestream, terrorists and corporate evil at it’s finest.

Sephiroth, a villain with some serious strength and evilness. He killed Aeris in the Temple of the Ancients, and showed us all what true evil looked like with those mako filled eyes.

Seymour Guado had greed, and wished to become Sin, destroyer of Spira. He wanted power and tormented the young heroine, Yuna, to try and attain it!

Sin, created by Yu Yevon it was a destroyer and curse on the world of Spira until it was finally destroyed by Yuna and her Guardians at last, freeing Spira.

All of our villains are worthy of the title, they are all misunderstood, and perhaps had things been different, they’d have been the heroes.

And afterall, there is no story without the two halves; good and evil. There is no battle, and there is no path.

So, without further ado, I’d like to announce the winner...

And the winner of “Best Villain” is...

[Formalhaut]

HAS to be Kefka.

Why don't you ask Zidane and/or Locke? Inviting thieves and treasure hunters may have made this an inevitability

Don't forget Yuffie, though she only steals Materias.
