We've been told to give speechs that should persuade- thus I speak on VIDEO GAMES. Thus, I want to play Video Games- and as I cannot, I look at pictures/vids and whine.
And Rant, as it happens. Lucky you folks! You get to hear it!
Vulpecula's Villain Rundown.
Sephiroth- Final Fantasy VII
FACT- The one villain that makes me want to run screaming from a room when I have to fight him. Sephiroth is the villain that other villains are afraid of. He's such a fascinating character... it's like watching an exquisitely beautiful creature as it's stalking you... preparing to rip out your throat... but you can't look away!
I always feel ridiculously proud of myself when I beat him. In the Kingdom Hearts series, if I start feeling cocky, I go and fight him. My record is two minutes before he killed me.
Ramirez- Skies of Arcadia
I wish this kid had never been a villain. He really shouldn't have been- his mentor just happened to be crazy. I don't care if he's cold-hearted, shot at lifeboats or burned a city to the ground, I KNOW he's a sweetie underneath it all!
Albedo- Xenosaga
He's. Freaking. INSANE. I actually get mad when he talks. Albedo is like a rabid dog, chuckling on the foam coming out of his mouth. You really just want to shoot him and get it over with.
Lynx- Chrono CrossI really don't care about his backstory- I simply hate his guts. If I get into his backstory, I start thinking about all these different things about how he might have been helping me out- and then I remember that demented smile as he stabbed my favorite character, and I realize that Harle was right. Lynx believes he is Fate, and Fate just destroys the things that get in it's way.
Pope Zera- Grandia II
Talk about unexpected! The kindly old man who sends you on your quest is all crazy and destructive! Seriously, try to guess from the first conversation you have with him that something is up. Not possible. Zera holds a special place of loathing in my heart, his job was to give the people hope and teach them about their god, instead, he submits to despair and tries to destroy the world. Nice. Real nice.
Kuja- Final Fantasy IX
He's a crossdresser. Kuja is a vain, irritating jerk, who tried to kill his baby brother by pushing him out of an aircraft. Strangely, I was still upset when he died... though that's probably due to Zidane's unbelievably understanding nature. And the fact that he did save my characters.
Emilious- Grandia III
*GAGS*- This game's characters were somewhat nauseating, but Emiloius just made it worse. He sounded like some cheesy villian from a Sailor Moon episode- seriously. He made a point of saying things like, "Love is weak," "I will cover the world in Darkness..." And then he goes and changes his mind because of his baby sister Alfina- who looks susupicously like Sailor Moon, and gets himself killed trying to stop the just-as-annoying-Xorn.
Ansem- Kingdom Hearts
"Ansem" was fun to fight- it was challenging, his character design was pretty cool, so was his voice. I was happy that he annoyed me to the point where I felt incredibly vindicated at seeing him disappear. I mean, he posessed Riku, created the Heartless, and he kept calling Sora stupid. No one is allowed to call my characters stupid but me.
