I like the way I said almost word-for-word the same thing in both threads.
There's just something about a guy in a speedo that makes you want to tell him, "Dude, put some pants on, for God's sake!"
Other than that, a pretty good villain, though I wish he'd chew the scenery a little more. He's kind of sedate.
I thought he was a she the first time I played, which I was like "sweet a female villain!" then it wasn't
He's in my top three. I think he's a fantastically written character.
I'm also a big fan of his theatrics and the way he carries himself. Surfing a dragon is a bonus as well. I like his attacks, he's my go to character in Dissidia for all my magic needs.
He also has, in my opinion, one of the greatest boss themes from any Final Fantasy game.
I like Kuja, yes even his design. He seems to have a very French Romanticism-inspired look with added elements of both sexuality and also depravity. It's a type of design that is unique amongst male characters. I find his personality interesting and I think he has one of the stronger motivations in the series. Not to mention his relationships with other characters and the world itself adding more gravitas to the scenes featuring him. He's one of my favorites.
I thought the same thing, and thought it was cool. I was all jazzed because FF8 had a pretty successful female villain, and there haven't been all that many. Then I just didn't find "her" very engaging or that interesting of a villain. Then I found out she was actually a he, and got even more disappointed because we've had plenty of male villains.
I'd have to play the game again, and I really like the game, but Kuja just really didn't seem to grab me. Plus, then Necron shows up as the final main villain after really not having any other story or explanation in the game that I recall, which really only served to undermine the importance of Kuja IMO.
He does, absolutely, have one of the greatest villain themes ever. Bloody love it.
I'd hit it.
He was insanely powerful. Only boss to win no matter what. I like how he tried to redeem himself in the end. It was done well.
I love Super Saiyan 4, so that is my answer.
Except it wasn't more of Kefka's plan to use the statues than Sephiroth's plan was to use Meteor while Sephroths absorption of life energy in the end was the final and real goal just as overall destruction and the eradication of hope was Kefka's. Kefka never actually presented a super master plan because he was destructive all the time and it didn't make a difference for him and stating that he will restore some statues but then suddenly reacting spontanously to what Celes did has nothing to do with him succeeding. So their success and failure was on the same level.
