Aw, I wouldn't go as far as to say that. I probably sound like the chief of Anti-Sephiroth police. Sephiroth is obviously, far from weak, and certainly holds more power than a few of the FF villains, it's just not something I could call substantial. Probably because Meteor itself was a summoning, not a direct doing of his own powers. There's a definite difference. Also, the length of time involved in summoning it is a detriment...
Actually, it's great that you can say and admit this, because aside from my dislike for Sephiroth, I agree with you on all of these points. Despite my chief complaints [which you've all heard me go on and on about], I actually did enjoy FF VII a lot. Even though I dock things and nitpick endlessly, ultimately I'm looking at all of the positive. Valkyrie Profile [for example] had a lot of dropped plot-threads and incomplete background stories on all of the Einherjar [although they were all extremely unique, I don't think their histories were explained enough. I wouldn't encourage the game going off-track with too much extraneous information, but I think the game would've been fine if it had completed the stories on all of the Einherjar]. It also had questionable voice acting [some of it was good, but some of it was unacceptable]. However despite these faults, I felt the positive aspects of Valkyrie Profile far out-weighed the negative aspects, no question.
I apologize for going off-track, but I felt I had to give an example. And I felt the need to clarify that despite these major faults, FF VII was still a good game.
Don't worry about it, it's not really a problem. Even though Mirage slid in the little joke about needing punctuation, for the most part I don't think anybody here will let petty things like language barriers/etc. distort our opinion of someone.
Also, I think posting on forums and reading everyone's posts is actually a good way to help develop language skills as well as general articulation and wording, and also helps with vocabulary.
Onto a villain I liked. Let's see, when I think of all the FF villains up-to-date lined up, I really think that Kuja was one of my favourite villains. He gave an excellent demonstration of power and intellect, as well as being extremely manipulative and calculating. The manner in which his magical powers were presented as well [this may seem minor to most people, but it actually matters to me] was quite cool. Of course, he also has the woman-hair thing going on, but for some reason it actually didn't bother me. I'm not sure why, because it usually bugs me to death [being the anime artist I am and my passion for it, I can't help but be extremely picky about character designs]. I'm also not really much of a fan of Kuja's clothing from the front, though from the side and the back it looks cool. It looks cool from the front as well, as long as you ignore the lower half [seriously, the lower half of his outfit is a bit disturbing]. I gotta say that I loved the design for Trance Kuja, and the demonstration of power [laying waste to Terra] was awesome, and it's kinda cool that he's the only person powerful enough to use Ultima [it gives the spell a lot more meaning in my opinion].
From my understanding however, not many people here seem to like Kuja that much, though I could be wrong [I doubt it].
