I'm currently buttmad because I just noticed I never had anyone here agree with me about Elder God being an awesome villain.
I mean [tornado fang], this guy manipulated even the "biggest" manipulator in the entire series (Moebius the [tornado fang]ing Time Streamer). And for what? BECAUSE THE [tornado fang]er IS ALWAYS HUNGRY THAT'S WHY!
Hungry for your soooouuuulllllll!
And he's a [tornado fang]ing giant tentacle monster with shitload of eyes, and has/had the voice of AWESOME.
Okay, that talk about me being asspained at the beginning of my post was just a joke.
Here, I'll tell you guys something:
[spoiler]
Kefka? PFFFT! A Generic "RAWR I'M EVIL AND CRAZY LOOK AT ME BEING CRAZY" villain. When I played FF6, I couldn't help but laugh at him and the people who say he's the best FF villain.
Sephiroth? AHAHAHA! Please I don't even know where to begin with this one. He would have made a more interesting villain, if he wasn't REALLY, SERIOUSLY introduced so late in the game.
Kuja? Well, I like him because he's just simply so FABULOUS, and can't say much about him cuz I never got too far in FFIX. So for now let's say I'm indifferent to him, but knowing that he's from FF, he's probably really horrible as a villain.

You see guys. There's more to a villain than a simple sob story and/or how evil and crazy he is. It doesn't matter how much [parasitic bomb] he's blown up or taken over. What REALLY matters is how a villain acts, his personality and stuff. And keep in mind that characters such as Ganondorf, usually have almost no REAL personality. A villain can have a sob story and be crazy evil... but he also needs to do something more than blowing [parasitic bomb] up and take over stuff.
A villain, should actually FEEL LIKE A REAL PERSON. Of course it all depends on the kind of game, and additionally nobody (especially not me) forbids you from from liking your Ganonderps and Sephiruffs.
But now you would ask: "How does this "feel like a real person" fit in with a giant [tornado fang]ing tentacle monster [Elder God]?"
Well [tornado fang], man/gurrl, isn't it obvious? Elder God was the typical selfish doing everything for his own gain god-like villain... BUT, how he acted, what he did and how he spoke made him much more interesting. The same goes for almost all the charas in LoK series. Esepcially Kain, Raziel and Moebius.
I can't say the same about Sephiroth, Kefka or even Ganondorf. These guys are just smalltime and boring. I might like their designs (to some extent), but in general... meh.
Now awaiting responses. With what I worte here, I really don't know what to expect from you guys.
Just keep in mind, I'm not really hatin' or angry here. Just wanted to say what I think.
Sooo if you think I SOMEHOW managed to insult you... then uh, sorry?
