    Kuja is the worst villain. He is the most uninspired, insipid villain, there is absolutely nothing sinister about him, nothing interesting about him, nothing I care about in any way. I don't love him, I don't hate him, I don't love to hate him.

    Yes, but you're routinely incorrect.

    You need to go and visit a Doctor. I'm concerned.

    I like Kuja a lot, he's without a doubt great villain , but The Emperor Mateus is my favorite , even though I don't like FFII all that much. *** it's battle system.

    According to bias it might be difficult to have a villian in the series that stands out. That the extent of fiction is the authors creativity and your ability to believe in it. A.K.A lets say you don't believe one person is more important than another. Fictional or real. In that case there's no reason to debate it.

    I think he's one of the more personable villians in the series. Which most of them are pretty "i'm evil HURR" kinda thing going on.

    I do not know Kuja that well, but I do know that he's the only villain who can rock out that thong (or more approiately, loincloth or codpiece) of his! He may be not the best villain in Final Fantasy, but at least he's a pretty one!

    Amanda: Drag, you have no patience whatsoever.

    Have you played FF9 ? If not, play it now. You must. It's law.

    While I'm not the sort of chap who likes Kuja so much that I'd join a forum with 'Kuja Trance' as my username (ahem), I think he is one of the best villains in the series, if not the best overall.

    His methods are subtle and rather understated. He knows that by himself he can't achieve his aims, and is effective at using others (Brahne, Black Mages, the main party) to do his dirty work for him. While there's an arrogance about him, he's not blinded by pride. I'd also argue that, among the villains in the series, there are few that really rival him in terms of success. He plunges the Mist Continent into chaos, acquires himself a shed load of power in the process, successfully topples Garland, and acquires Trance. With, it's reasonably fair to say, few setbacks.

    I liked the style and design of Kuja too. The theatrical, narcissistic nature complements the game well, with his scenes being generally memorable with some good music to boot. His character design whilst effeminate, is unusual and adds to the mystique of a character we don't really learn a great deal about until late in the game. His motivations aren't particularly novel, but the execution is.

    And with one single post from Greatermaximus, the entirety of the lower forums crumbled to dust, and no one ever spoke of Final Fantasy again.

    Never really did anything for me, and didn't buy his motivation.

    Okay, so far he is rivaling Kefka for me. I like my big bads with some humanness, so Sephiroth was kinda not my favorite. And he is pretty. I like 'em pretty. Though that is a hard outfit to pull off, it only raises him in my esteem. Absurd outfit is a win! I am loving IX almost as much as VI, so that is saying something. But this is my first play through (my brother hogged the game when we were kids).

    Definitely third to Kefka and Sephiroth. I give Kuja a tie with Vayne for my third favorites.
