Your opinion on him. I personally see him as one of the best villains in all of videogaming. But I won't go into detail until I hear arguments against him.

A complete freakshow, that's what he is. Just another typical "I will destroy everything" villain. Sephiroth and Kefka had a particular villain style that caught your attention and made you appreciate. I don't really care for Kuja.

Sephiroth didn't have a villain style. He wanted to have sex with alien mommy and destroy the world with a big rock.

Kuja was a mastermind. He manipulated the entire decline of an entire continent while smirking. He laughed merrily as he gleefully destroyed lives. And he was a far cry more intelligent than most antagonists. Even when the goal and strategy he had conceived of for 3/4 of the game was ruined, he adapted and formed a brand new idea for how to ascend to the power he longed for.

Let's nto forget Kuja made the Black Mages. An entire race of people spawned from his dark whim to bring death and die themselves very soon. It was good fun to watch Kuja repeatedly mock your team and speak in such eloquent ways. He was very theatrical while being absolutely hilariously cruel. "Or shall I kill you slowly and painfully to show you my love?"

bah, Sephiroth would beat him!

No offense to anyone, but in my opinion Sephiroth wasn't that big of a villain. Most of the game you're just fighting clones of him anyways. He wanted to destroy the world which is crazy, but so did Kuja. Nothing really makes Sephiroth any cooler than Kuja. Kuja was an awesome character, besides the fact that the thong thing threw me off for much of the game . I have no idea where Square was going with that. At the beginning Kuja was amazingly cool, but then near the end he was kinda getting duller, but at the very end in his trance mode, that was awesome! But at the very very end, when Zidane went to save him I was like huh??? But that's just me.

Seyour was a child who did what he did because he lost his mommy and lived in a world who hated him.
Sephiroth lost his mind thanks to his Jenova cells in him.
Kefka was insane.

Kuja was made to destroy everything. A living weapon for Garland but he hated so much and had a will so powerful that he started to kill and live to destroy for his own gain. He was not unbalanced. Kuja was quite stable until near the end and knew perfectly well what he was doing. And what he was doing was causing more death and destruction than Ultamecia or Sephiroth or Seymour. Only Kefka could rival Kuja for level of devastation and he did not know what he was doing. His mind was completely lost ot psychosis and you can't call an insane man "evil."

I'd have to agree with you on this. Kuja just seemed a bit more fleshed out, IMHO.

Not to mention, Kuja is freaking terrifying. The man can impose the pain of wearing a thong on himself--that right there gives you an implication of how he'll fuck your shit up--and he'll do it poetically. LOL.

What's wrong with a thong? =D I love 'em. I guess its a personal thing, though. *shrug*

And yes, he'll slaughter and massacre you with a grin and an eloquent line. It is perfection.

I find them rather uncomfortable. Probably because I was raised in the time when underwear wasn't supposed to ride yer crack or it was called a wedgie. XD

But yes, Kuja = awesome villain.
