As of now(FEB,2015) my favourite antagonist is still Sephiroth, not too much to say, very popular and well know in the JRPG community.
I was considering putting Kefka in N°1, he was potentially a good antagonist,initially seem like a lighthearted villain, then gradually revealing his true nature as maniacal, short-tempered, flamboyant, destructive,cruel,psychopath with no regard for human life or remorse for the atrocities he commits,reveling in the suffering of others and what began as a disregard to human life developing into nihilism (as well as his other villanuous actions).
Having said all that why did i put Sephiroth above him dispite Kefka being more villanous(and having a bigger deadpool) than him?. When analyzing and thinking more in deep(as i played through the game)2 words came up to my mind which made eveything that is Kefka fall apart(in my perseption), WHY and HOW being those words. Ironically the guy that is considered among the best antagonist in RPG/JRPG (particularly in more story driven games) lacks backstory and explanation of why/how he develops from cruel guy to nihilist through the plot(something where Sephiroths overwhelms Kefka),which becomes even worst if his wiki page entry can´t answer that (even if you put the :He was Cid's first experimental Magitek knight, but the process wasn't perfect yet and his psyche went wrong, in the equation, there´s still no explantion of the development that i stated before).
Though as an antagonist he does his job but thats all.
I would like to know which is yours favourite. I do expect someone to dissagree with me ,and probably make a reply as long as mine, but that ok the disscusion forums are made for that
