exactly... Hojo was a villian...
True, and while Hojo was probably the closest thing FFVII's cast of nay'er do-wells came to being truly likeable in that particular way a good villain is liked. But I still say Emperor Geshthal, while not having as large a rap sheet as hojo, kefka, sin, yunalesca, and other FF villains, is the one that perpetuated the most dispicable villainous act in the history of RPG's, as cool as kefka was, nothing he did shows the utter lack of moral character as slitting the throat of an already dying woman just to twist her baby into a living weapon. Back in FFVI I knew the truce he was offering was fake without needing a stratergy guide. Anyone who would do something so abominable is incapable of remorse or regret.
