Damn my habits on hitting spoilers. Im 159/160 fragments -_-

Wait so how can that be, Noel stabs the guy and Etro dies and he dies and..

Btw really can't figure it out, is Lightning the new goddess cause she's on the throne crystalized in the normal ending?

I really don't know, that's what XIII-3 will explain I suppose. Either way, after I saw that secret ending, I wanted to flip my Xbox so far into the sky.

Dont have a clue who Caius is.

More on target tho. Irregaurdless i find seph better. Best bad guy in FF series. And i dont say that as some fan boy, but rather their was no bad guy that could envoke an emotion quite like him.
im sorry, not to be an *** but...

this JUST came on as i was reading what else got posted in this thread Q_Q

I think sephiroth is the "better" villain, BECAUSE:

Caius isn't the person you'd call a villain. His reason to act like a villain are very well explained and actually understandable. You can understand why he's going through this all and somehow it seems like he's doing not a bad thing after all. Well except for [insert heavy ending spoilers here].

I swear to God, I'm not trying to start a war here... They're really going to make 13-3? I thought x-2 was bad enough, but I'd like an option for a FF that's not this storyline anymore. Some people hated 8 but you moved on. 9 wasn't my favorite but I logged 200 some hours into X (granted 150 of it was blitzball). I feel robbed in that half a decade of FF releases will be consumed with what I consider to be an awful game/series.

Everything is going to be DLC, so if you wait long enough and spend enough money, you'll get the see the "real" ending.

Or you wait for the GOTY

Nope, as far as I know they're releasing the rest of the story in increments via DLC.

ff13-3 is an assumption made by most.

Unless it's been announced elsewhere, but I don't think it has.

I can't rate one over the other.
I don't see them all as being the same type of villain so you can't make a straight comparison.

I have yet to stomach playing 7 completely and my full knowledge of seph is full of holes but I'd give it to him by default


Caius is just another new generation pseudo-philosophical anti-villain like most other final bosses of rpgs, ff13-2 was an alright game, loved the battle system but I couldn't really get into it. The real question is why wasn't our favorite clown that mass murdered and enslaved humanity for 'just cuz lol' considered if we're gonna compare best antagonists.

Caius's sword is pretty cheesy... It's hard to not think of him as Kain they even have the same lines

I think Ultros even makes a better antagonist than Kainus.

@Gimp: You should play VII/Crisis Core.

I have far too many issues with Sephiroth to even consider him as a top villain. @@;

Also Super Nova--what's up with that?! BLOW UP ALL THE PLANETS??? NAW JAYKAY!!!!

P.S. You're a frog.

I haven't finished ff13-2 yet (i've seriously spoiled myself reading this thread) but I don't get the chills I got when I first played FF7 and first heard of Sephiroth. Like in the Shinra building with the blood trails. I mean it felt like Sephiroth couldn't possibly be bargined with and was a loose cannon. Whereas Caius seems more reasonable. On the other hand I love the English voice actor of Caius. He also played Balthier in FF12

@ Nini

I have to stomach the graphics, it kinda sucks going back and playing older games I think that's where the hardcore love comes from playing certain good games first rather than ten years later, When you've seen so many different plotlines and twists most stuff seems moot or boring. But it sucks being genre savy tbh -_-

Damn right lol. FFVIII had lag issues in battle mode. Also can max characters at the start of the game and can possible get Lionheart on Disc 1.

The graphics hurt me eyes, the whole level/status thing was weird, also hated the draw/magic system .-. got to the final area before getting Doom Train and I just gave up on getting it because of the mobs I needed to get

I will give you that for Sephiroth, but really the way VII panned out in general was brilliant. The music chilled your bones. I still think Hojo's the real baddie of VII though :c

You see the real issue is... he can do it twice. I was also somewhat offended when it didn't hit for max damage and kill all my chars.

As for the general game series.
Every one of the final fantasies I played, I loved when I played them. Replaying and going back and looking at them I can see flaws in all of them but it won't ever take away the epicness of my memories when I played them.

Kefka is my favorite though I've not played 13 yet.

i like 8 a lot but not for the odd and dumb need a GF to win battles or the other relatively flat characters that existed that weren't Squall, Rinoa, and Laguna. But for watching Squall develop as a character because of Rinoa and how hilarious the turns in their relationship and the situations they went through. Laguna's backstory is awesome and the icing on the cake and gives you the impression that he's more than a random babbling goofball.

And I guess Squall's sister to a lesser extent as being important too bad I can't remember her name.

It could have been better if those main 3 weren't carrying the story and not having 5~10 other bland throwins to suck them down

I think it should've destroyed the planet, not just hit for max damage and kill your characters! D:

Then it's like, why did he even need Meteor? He could summon a Super Nova!(at least in god form) I MEAN REALLY COME ON NOW SEPHIROTH, LOGIC DO YOU NEED IT!
