So what's the top 10 order you'd place the villians from Final Fantasy, and more importantly, why do they get the position they did? May as well start with mine.

1. Kuja, FFIX - I'd have to say that he's the best because put in his position, many people would end up doing the same thing. He's also the villian whom I'd say had the most well fleshed out motives.

2. Kefka, FFVI - Because he was quite simply despicable. He was evil for the fun of it. He led the world down the path of ruin because he could.

3. Sephiroth, FFVII - I'll grant, he doesn't really deserve this spot, which he got most entirely on bad-assedness alone; he still has a pretty good amount of merit though. You gotta feel kinda sorry for the guy with all the crap Shinra pulled on him. (Cloning him, sticking Jenova cells in him, and whatnot. It was really Hojo I hated by the end of the game.)

4. Garland, FFI - Because he was pretty much the last person you expected to see when you entered that last room in the final dungeon.

5. Ultimacea, FFVIII - This is assuming the Rinoa=Ultimacea theory is right, which I happen to go by not because of any particular evidence, but because it makes Ultimacea not a crappy villian, and makes the story just a little bit better in my opinion. If the theory isn't true, drop Ultimacea down to #9, and bump the present #6-#9 up a notch.

6. Zande, FFIII - Sure he may not be the final boss, but as far as I'm concerned, he's the villian of FFIII, much like Kuja is the villian of FFIX, even though he's not the final boss. The whole thing smacks of greek tragedy to me, the old master each giving his 3 students a great gift; one, power over magic, another power over dreams, and the third student the gift the master felt most precious, life as a human, and the student thinks he got screwed in the end since he didn't get gobs of power.

7. Seymour, FFX - I've never seen anyone else come back to life as much as this jerk did. The only reason he gets this high is I still think he's better than the other 3 left in the list.

8. Zemus, FFIV - Ancient Lunarian mage who hates all humans. You don't get much more description about Zemus than that, so it definitely lands him in the lower ranks.

9. X-Death, FFV - The most I was able to get out of FFV on X-Death is that he's an ancient mage/force of nature that wants to destroy the universe. No motivation, nothing. Another low tier villian.

10. Parmekian Emperor, FFII - You just don't get any worse than this. Not only did they reveal absolutely nothing about him except that he's the emperor... of Parmekia, well, and that he wants to rule the world; but they didn't even give him an actual name for crying out loud. FF2 was a great game, but this villian just stinks.
