An intriguing villain always makes for a better game. Got an all-time favorite? I'll give it an elite eight, again in honor of possibly the greatest ncaa tourney I have ever had the pleasure to watch. In alphabetical order to avoid rankings:

Dhaos, Tales of Phantasia
Dracula, numerous Castlevania games
Galcian, Skies of Arcadia
Kefka, Final Fantasy VI
Pokey, Earthbound
Sigma, numerous Mega Man X games
Wiegraf, Final Fantasy Tactics
Vergil, Devil May Cry 3

--------------------

this is a blog mostly about comics and videogames
END SPOILER

oo, thats a tough one laszlow. i thought kuja of ff9 was pretty damn cool. but honestly, magus freakin rocks. he was a villain at first so i think that counts. i think his character and persona set chrono trigger completely off. it was like a cherry on top, lol. i agree with the sigma fave. but concerning the megaman series, although he only made a couple of appearances, i really liked dynamo. he was the freakin man. maybe its just cuz i liked his battle muzik so much lol.

"The answer is, of course, that it would be best to be both loved and feared. But since the two rarely come together, anyone compelled to choose will find greater security in being feared than in being loved."
- Niccolo Machiavelli, The Prince

serious villain favorites:

Queen Zeal (Chrono Trigger)
Exdeath (Final Fantasy V)
Kefka (Final Fantasy VI)

stupid villain favorites:

Dr. Wily (Mega Man series)
K. Rool (Donkey Kong Country series)

sheer coolness favorites:

Ridley (Metroid series)


I will reserve the last two spots for future villains.

Edit: Well, technically, Ridley's not cool, but he's hot. No, no, not that kind of hot, you...what the hell ever.

The Cait Sith Avatar has Returned!

Check out my DeviantArt profile! ....If you don't mind that is

Hmm, I 'll have to think this over...I know who my current fave is though! The Sorrow from Metal Gear Solid 3 = Greatest uh...'battle' ever.

--------------------

The Arcana are the means by which ALL is revealed.

Kefka (FF VI) for just being and loveing evil so much

Thantos (Secret of mana) got to love his boss theme ^^

Magus (Chrono Trigger) the king of all darkness, seriously his figure and name just meant darkness to me.

Bailo and Sunder (Breathe of fire 3) i dont know these guys just seamed cool to me for some reason

Evil mani mani man (Earthbound) not only was moon side really cool this boss was just perfect for that strange world

Lynx (Chrono Cross) Not only did he changed body he made playing himself cool

--------------------

procastinate now, dont put it off

X-Death (FFV): Pretty badass for a tree

Kefka (FFVI): Duh

Ganon (Zelda): Why can't he just die, plus the Ganon from the short lived LofZ cartoon was awesome

Bowzer (Mario): He's a classic gotta have him

Gilgamesh (FFV): Just cause he's Gilgamesh

Gol (Jak and Daxter): When your voiced by the lead singer of Twisted Sister, you know your a badass

War is for the participants a test of character; it makes bad men worse and good men better. - Joshua Chamberlain

U sir R a n00b >:-( - Cactuar

Last enemy from Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 2

Possible spoilers: highlight to view

Sarafan Raziel. As a character, he's not very interesting. It's just that when you fight him, the situation is just too awesome. Demon Raziel, carrying Wratih Blade Raziel, armed with Blood Reaver - Raziel's final resting place - against Sarafan Raziel. What I like best is the fact that Sarafan Raziel seems so much more...'Raziel' then Demon Raziel, arrogant and poetic. Demon Raziel seems so passive.

That Uroburos sign on the floor really does it for me .

The Collapse of Heaven and Earth

Dhaos (ToP) Definatly takes the cake.

Possible spoilers: highlight to view

Near the end of the game, you find out that his goals are the same as yours: He wants to preserve magic

--------------------

Link: "What is it?"
Mario: "It's coin, what the hell does it look like?"
Link: "Well.... What do you do with it?"
Mario: "You buy lives with them."
Link: ".... Isn't that slavery?"
~Mario/Link crossover comic~

Baralia is right it is kinda hard one but:

Magus/Chrono Trigger, he was cool considering

Possible spoilers: highlight to view

You can get him on your team without cheating

Sephiroth/Final Fantasy VII, now heres somone to admire when he finds out he was a test tube baby he goes nuts and kills everyone in his way. Now theres a perfect child if I ever saw one.

Money is no good unspent.
There's a fine line between bravery and stupidity.

well, my favorite villain are:

Suikoden II: That Luca Blight, he is the incarnation of pure evil,also strong and sadistic .
and Sephiroth, personally I think he is the best villain of all FF series

--------------------

"Its no cheating if you don't get caught"

Sephiroth, Kefka, and Kuja from FF9 are the best in my opinion. Ultimecia makes the top 5 with Queen Zeal. Best personalities for villains, too. Nothing like a sorceress who manipulates other sorceresses. Very much like a supermodel...

Yunalesca: "Hope is...comforting. It allows us to accept fate, however tragic it might be. "

Yunalesca: "Poor creature. You would throw away hope. Well... I will free you before you can drown in your sorrow. It is better for you to die in hope than to live in despair. Let me be your liberator. "

Tough Question.......

Kane of Runefaust
Wiegraf Folles
Kefka

Here's my list in order from least to most favorite:

7) Liquid Snake (MGS)
6) Sephiroth (FFVII)
5) Shang Tsung (MK series)
4) Dycedarg Beoulve (FFT)
3) Sorceress Ultimecia (FFVIII)
2) Delita Hyral (FFT)
1) Kuja (FFIX)

That's all I can think of right now. I'm sure I'll come up with more later.
