KH1 Seph>KH2 Seph (In toughness)

ofcourse, the camera angles in kh1 were a lil bad and the combos sucked, so yep sephiroth is stronger in kh1 than in kh2. But in kh2 he's stronger than the main villain himself.

Kefka doesn't really have a character in FFVI, he's a 16-bit sprite whose motive is, "I'm evil and insane and want more power, oh no! I double crossed you! Now I'm the boss."

Sephiroth does all that and has a back story to boot and might I add a sweet ass chemistry between himself and the main character which really sets him up as the villain of choice.
  

Uh, no.  Kefka has a lot more personality, which is pretty sad considering he's 16 bit... Sephiroth was a generic cookie cutter villain that has appeared in half the animes made in the last 30 years.  He was nothing special, his back story was completely retarded (Somehow just a few cells made him stronger than the people who had many many more!?? W.T.F).  Kefka actually had a personality.  I'll sacrifice a backstory anyday for someone who actually expresses some emotion and shows a real personality.  Character development >>>>>>>>>>> backstory.  You actually saw Kefka change and his goals and evil plots evolve as the story progressed.  Sephiroth started as an emotionless bastard, and ended as one.  That's all there was to him.  

Problems with Sephiroth: 

First of all, he's famous for killing Aeris, but he isn't even the one who does it.  WTF.  People love that scene but it wasn't even Sephiroth who killed her, it was freaking Jenova posing as Sephiroth.  Most of the time the "Sephiroth" you are chasing in the game (and throughout the first disc) is Jenova.  So why the hell do people love Sephiroth for something he didn't even DO?

Second, he barely even did anything.  He burned a village, oh no!  He tried to destroy the world with an asteroid, but failed like a whimp, while Kefka killed billions and reduced the world to ruins.  Yeah, Sephiroth was obviously more evil /sarcasm.  

Third, his story was reaking ridiculous.  It made no sense at all.  Somehow with only a very limited amount of Jenova's cells he was much stronger and able to comand others who had been more developed.  Thanks for the logic there Square!  Not to mention for most of the game he was nothing more than Jenova's puppet.  Hell, Sephiroth technically never left the Northern Crater for the entire freaking game (again, you were chasing Jenova thinking he was Sephiroth).  

Fourth, what's this crap about his looks being great?? He was a clone of Setzer from FFVI (even wore the same clothes).   And his freaking Sword had already been used in many Final Fantasy games, so he wasn't even the original owner of Masamune (It was much cooler on Frog and you know it!).  The name of that Sword is overused in Video Games as it is, but people act like Sephiroth at the original.

 

Sephiroth is a C Class villain at best.  The only reason he's so famous is because he was the villain in what was many people's first Final Fantasy game.  It's really sad because the action he's most famous for, he didn't even commit!  I would rank dozens of villains above Sephiroth, including almost every other FF villain.

Seph is stronger than Ansem in KH1.

@naznatips

What if we exchanged Jenova with Seph (in awesomeness/actiona? Jenova ftw?

 

Jenova is at least better than Seph, and I appreciate Jenova for being the manipulative monster that she was, but her story was still too convoluted and she still takes backseat to many other great video game villains. However, Jenova is easily my favorite character in FFVII.



Well he did try to kill you, in god of war he is the main villain gow2. And should be in gow3.


==> I think the vilain of God of war 2 is Kratos himself (the guy u play)

I mean, why this crazzy guy suddenly decided to bring war everywhere ????

what is his motivation ?

...

Zeus just try to protect Olymp mount

Arthas

Terenas: Ah, my son...
Arthas: You no longer need to sacrifice for your people. You no longer need to bear the weight of your crown. I've taken care of everything.
Arthas approaches Terenas.
Terenas: What is this? What are you doing, my son?
Arthas: Suceeding you, Father.
Arthas impales Terenas; Terenas gasps.
Arthas: This kingdom shall fall, and from the ashes shall arise a new order, one that will shake the very foundations of the world.

Yay more support for my 3 favs!

The only people who think Sephiroth is the best villain have very limited gaming experiences.  Notice everyone who has played both FFVII and FFVI think Kefka > Sephiroth (or nearly everyone).  Kefka was just so unique and so insane.  He really is unmatched.  


I love people who can't accept another person's point of view. Makes me wonder why they are on the internet when they only want people to agree with them.

This is a "best villain" dude, there is no right or wrong answer here....

I choose Kefka.

And Lennon I support Naznatips his opinion.

It is true that many FF fans didn't played all FF's so they choose the villain of the games they have played.

But I also support your opinion that he doesn't have to push his opinion to other people and "try' to change others their opinion.

I'm very aware these are opinions, I'm simply defending mine. If you cannot support your opinion, then why express it? However, I appoligize for being too forceful.

lol, this will all be explained in the psp game.

My thinking is that zeus ordered ares to make kratos his servant, and kill everyone. But kratos found that out and killed ares, in god of war 2 zeus tried to kill kratos for killing ares. There has to be some reason. Kratos isnt the bad guy in my opinion.

1 sephiroth/kefka i cant decide, if kefka had been made into 3d i would probably choose him but i always have that music of sephiroth when i think of him,

And yes i almost cried too when Aeris died, great music to go with it and everything, man ff 7 and 6 are the pinnacles of final fantasy



                 With regard to Call of Duty 4 having an ultra short single player campaign, I guess it may well have been due to the size limitations of DVD on the XBox 360, one of various limitations multi-platform game designers will have to take into consideration-Mike B   

Proud supporter of all 3 console companys

Proud owner of 360wii and DS/psp              

Game trailers-Halo 3 only dissapointed the people who wanted to be dissapointed.

Bet with Harvey Birdman that Lost Odyssey will sell more then Blue dragon did.

Sephiroth does have one of my very favoritey video game themes of all time.  Best thing about him is his music, just like the best thing about Kefka is his memorable laugh.
