Setting the Record Straight

I can say though, that we never truly see the extent of either villains power. How powerful was Kuja before Trance? Could Kuja have had other devistating powers at his disposal during Trance?

Well, he did manage to not die while getting beaten up in order to achieve Trance. Other than that, he's feared because he has resources, and through manipulation and careful planning, more often than not, complete control of the situation.
 
He also withstood Bahamut's attack on the Iifa Tree, laughed it off and made it out only with a scratch.

Which has been said a million times now...although people STILL prefer to say he dodged the attack. Um...he got hit head on. Watch the FMV:

As you can see, Kuja and his dragon dont even move until the explosion has smacked them right in the face.
 
Yep. And the scene before it clearly shows Kuja telling his Silver Dragon to descend to give Brahne a target: he was putting himself purposefully in the way.
 
Exactly. I dont know how people can deny something directly shown in the game, does fanism blind them THAT much? Kind of sad...
 
I'd rather be Kuja.

I'd kill for hips like that.

Plus he has very pretty hair. My hair is all thicka nd poofy and if I don't get it cut, I look like I have a mini-afro.

I might cover up my stomach, though.
 
Kuja = uber sexy body and hair that would make both sexes drool over you

Sephi = boring leathers and hair people would kill for
 
There's also the fact Kuja beat the party once with one attack, then in the next fight it was arguably another victory. Afterall, while he was beaten, he killed them all. And then to even show how more powerful he was even on the verge of death, he saved them all from Necron.

There's also the fact he doesn't need emo party leaders who he can mind control to help him execute his plans. The entire party did everything for him and handed the ultimate power to him on a silver platter.

Perhaps if Seph gained some intelligence, he wouldn't lose to Cloud anymore.
 
Kuja?! Dont make me laugh. That preteen head case is just some knock off of vega, or endrance for that matter. (I know who came 1st!) Anyway, his story wasnt better, he wasnt more crule, the only thing he has Sephiroth beat at is dressing and looking more like a fag. And the only reason you like him is because you prefer younger men!

Um, excuse me, but have you even played the game? Kuja's in his 20's. And i don't know where you got preteen from anyway, nobody in the game is a preteen. Zidane and Garnet are teenagers, Vivi and Eiko are kids, Amarant and Freya and Steiner are adults, and Quina...well...nobody knows.

Only 15 posts and you're already insulting other members? You won't be very welcome here if you do that. And you spelled cruel wrong, by the way.
 
Omg, what a horrible mistake! Truth is I knew you would say that and I spelled it wrong on purpose because no one has even been posting after me, got to get a bite some how. And howd I know youd go for something so low and easy? Because you know Im right. Ouch, picking on me cause Im new too, you are brutal. I was making fun of the fact that all the characters look like children, genius. And there is still no way he is more criminal then Sephiroth.
 
Oh ouch, you got me to bite. Oh, i'm so hurt. And i'm fully aware of your making fun of the characters' child-like appearance. However, this...

And the only reason you like him is because you prefer younger men!

...is an insult at a member (me I'm assuming, although it could just be generic and apply toward anyone who likes Kuja). And i'm not picking on you because you're new, i was merely pointing out that making posts where it's pretty apparent you want to instigate something isn't a good idea. Then again i'm probably wasting my time even typing this, because chances are you're just a troll who randomly picked these forums to piss people off. Enjoy your stay ^_^
 
Troll huh, you must be more nerd then I imagined.. Ill try to keep to your example by being adult (not throwing a fit because one little comment was made) and keeping to the topic (not making this thread all about yourself and how often you point out that I just joined up, I already feel welcome)

Alright, alright, you like older men! Happy?
 
Rogue, you'd better cut it off. That kind of attitude is not welcome. (and if I were to guess by your attitude I'd say you are at most 13 years old) Regarding to your comments on the thread topic now...

Kuja wasn't more cruel than Sephiroth, ok (btw, since when is cruelty the measure of how good or cool a villain is?). He didn't like dirtying his hands, so he used others. But he's shown that he is quite strong, and when he enters Trance, most likely the strongest being in the FFIX universe next to Necron (and Ozma, if he's considered storyline cannon and not just a superboss being there for the heck of it). Also, Kuja did much worse than Seph. Because of him Lindblum, Alexandria, Burmecia, Cleyra were all destroyed (and the combined destruction of Burmecia and Cleyra nearly cause genocide of the Burmecian species. Then, when he entered trance he destroyed Terra, at least it's surface, with the only genomes surviving being him, Zidane, and Mikoto (yet nearly another genocide).

...but I'm sure my post won't matter much if you keep up this attitude.
 
As a staffer, I will ask you once and only once to stop trying to pick fights with the other members, Rogue. It is obvious that you are intentionally waving a large flag that begs others to look down upon you. Infractions are most likely to be handed out for trolling unless you grow up a little and get back on topic.


And now that that's out of the way, here's my two cents.

To be quite honest, I can safely say that Sephiroth's overconfidence was a factor that led to his downfall. Those who have seen Advent Children may agree with this statement. It's predictable with most villains that if they take the time to reveal their oh-so-evil plans to those who oppose them, then the plan is more than likely to fail because they took the time to talk and talk and talk instead of just killing their opponents right then and there. Not sure what that has to do with Kuja being better than Sephy, so I'll move on to another point.

Agreeing with Aztec and VengefulRonin on an earlier topic, both of them are indeed rather devious and very manipulative. Sephiroth manipulated the main protagonist. Kuja manipulated the mother of the main female lead. Both of their targets of manipulation had (at one point in the game) something that the main villain wanted. Sephy manipulated Cloud to get the Black Materia. Kuja manipulated Queen Brahne to (I assume, though am probably incorrect) lure Garnet closer to him so he could extract her Eidolions. That wasn't the extent of their manipulations, but it still gave them access to greater power. Which one was better as far as manipulation goes? You decide, for that's a matter of opinion.

As far as dress goes...if those huge shoulder guards weren't there, I'd try to nab Sephy's jacket. Beyond that, he seems pretty...typical, as was said before. But take a look at Kuja <= here (Picture found on Wikipedia). I've heard that the Japanese version of Kuja was actually a woman, though her gender was changed in the translation due to her attraction to Garnet. (In other words, censoring homosexuality.) To be honest, I kinda believe that rumor since that would explain the appearance. Beyond that, I'm unsure.

...I guess I don't really have much of an argument, but reiteration seems better than just making a warning. I like Kuja's character better than Sephiroth's character, but that's just a personal preference.

(Oh, and just because I can correct you YF-23, all of the genomes survived because they were evacuated on The Invincible thanks to Zidane and his party. They were brought to Gaia and left at the Black Mage Village to live there.)
 
Man this board has pathetic members. 13? Cut it off? Wtfau? Lets all have our last word, throw are pretend rank around (earned by typing responses to infinitely boorish and childish post and threads) and protect the higher posting and very gay members of this site. If you were any REAL staffer, you would take care of this all under cover by iming me and whoever and getting to the problem or just saying knock it off. Instead you fuel me and come down with your bewildering powers insult me with the rest of your lackeys and tell me to shut up flaunting your self before every one. I have forgotten that just because we have the same interest in games, does not mean we are alike, in any way. FUCK YOU ALL.

What a cute little rant, it has it all, Flaming, offensive language and dramatising. As such you have been infracted for all three :)

knock off the attitude, and grow up a bit please.
