Gafgarion, maybe, but Algus?! I love FFT as much as the next member, but... he was out of the game after "that incident!"
Anyway, it's hard for me to write about Sephiroth without any bias, because (like I keep saying over and over) FF7 was my first RPG, so Sephiroth was my first RPG villain. I thought the dynamic between Sephiroth and Jenova was what made him so interesting. The game always kept me guessing: who's the real villain here? Is it Sephiroth or Jenova? The duality is what makes Sephiroth so memorable. If the villain of FF7 had been "just Sephiroth" or "just Jenova," I probably wouldn't have cared that much. You can even see it in this topic, because it's been years and we're still having fun debating who was controlling whom.
On a side note, I didn't think Sephiroth looked that feminine in the game, especially looking at his portrait sketch in the menu when he's on your team for 12.7 seconds. Not ugly, but not girly, either.
