Real good list agree with most of your picks, one of the big ones that was missing from the list was Dracula from castlevaina or dozens other games appears in or all of them the character is one of the most well known and greatest villains in fictional history.
Okay but Tom Nooke is wonderful and does amazing things, you need to research him. He gives like all of his money goes to orphanages and you’re technically not in debt to you. He never forces you to pay or evicts you
Corvus from DQ9, because I also appreciate a villain who isn't just bad for the sake of being bad, but rather a villain who's bad for a pretty good reason.
Tom Nook is actually a really good guy. He donates a lot of money to orphanages, he took in Timmy and Tommy as his own, and yeah, you pay him for a lot of stuff, but he doesn't even charge interest or even give you a due date. You don't have to pay him at all if you don't mind living in a small place. He's a good guy, he's just misunderstood. If anything, Resetti is more of a villain. In the EU version of one of the Animal Crossing games, he'll actually delete your save file if you keep resetting, and he scared kids constantly with all his yelling
THANK YOU. I used to think Tom was a villain but then I really thought of it. You don’t have to pay that debt. He doesn’t force you to do it. He gives you a goddamned house ffs and then gives you a mandatory debt. He gives you a job that only lasts a short amount of time. He’ll give you money for pretty much anything you sell him. And just y’know everything else you said. He’s not even remotely close to being a villain.
Thank you! He's genuinely one of my favorite characters in fiction for how much he's willing to give up for the happiness of others, even if he is a bit of a "capitalist" at times. He's a character I quite look up to.
Tom Nook in ACNL is a freaking hero. He never charges interest, never pushes you to pay back the loan, only requires that you pay him back before he'll let you take another loan.
Tom Nook gets a bad rep for no good reason. I don't know if you've noticed, but that debt he saddles you with? 100% interest free. You could play for in game centuries and it'll never go up on bell, or ever have someone come for your kneecaps. When he upgrades your house without your permission and gives you a new 'debt'? That's just him giving you a present, and saying he'll give you an even nicer present if you pay for this one eventually. Since there's no interest, and he never comes to collect, you can eventually just take the gift and call it good.
It's pretty bad when you can outdo the total ad time of an average cooptional podcast in a single ad. "SQUARESPACE" said in Dodgers voice is burned into my memory.
Just because Tom Nook is a Capitalist, doesn’t mean he is a bad guy, he adopted two kids and donated to orphanages. I don’t think that is super villain material But Sephiroth is my favorite villain of any video game hands down
Tom Nook gives you a house with a loan that has no payment limit and also gives you a job the moment you arrive in town... and you say he's a VILLAIN?! Sheesh, some people...
You don’t even have to pay the debt (or at least after the first one which isn’t even all that much tbh)either! He doesn’t force you to do it, it’s completely optional. You can keep your house in the default size forever. Nooks not knocking on your door and telling you to expand your houses size. The Nook hate needs to stop. If anyone’s a villain in Animal Crossing it’s either Resetti or Gracie.
Er... okay, at this point, I think we can easily say that there aren't any villains in Animal Crossing. EVER. Except maybe Redd, but all he does are some VERY obvious fakes. So... yeah! Nook is NOT a bad guy.
Two video game villains I always found really appealing are Eggman and Xehanort. Eggman because he’s funny but capable of being scary. Xehanort because he is the ultimate mastermind yet some sort of philosopher
@@timedragon5492 if sega ever wanted to make an actaul serious Sonic game a dystopian future where eggman nega is on the verge of getting his way and silver needs to prevent him by traveling back in time to stop him from becoming who he is but unfortunately caused eggman negas views on the world and silver can only stop eggman nega he has to stop himself and when he comes back to his time finds eggman nega as a cruel ruler but not a destroyer
My Top 5(In No Particular Order): 1. Logain MacTir (Dragon Age Origins) [He betrays your order, the Grey Wardens, takes over the kingdom, and relentlessly hunts you down and tries to shut down all your allies, and in the end, you can tell how mad he is.] 2. Raul Menendez (Call of Duty Black Ops II) [It always feels like he's one step ahead of you. He will run you around in circles if you've never played the game before and don't know what's coming.] 3. General Death'shead and Frau Engel (Wolfenstein) [Both incredibly sadistic and terrifying people. They did good making us fight them and not Mecha Hitler.] 4. Handsome Jack (Borderlands) [His quips and taunts are just so good throughout the game, what can I say?] 5. Salvatore Marcano (Mafia III) [Despite the horrible things he did and has done, he cared about his family, and he wanted his son to go legitimate becuse he knew how much the Life drained you.]
@Manek Iridius You would think so, but they went with Chronica. My guess is because of Chrono(Time). I feel like it should be spelled with a K as well.
I don't think I have enough Video Game villains to make a top ten, so I'm just gonna do top 5. 1. A tie between Albert Wesker from Resident Evil and Dracula from Castlevania. 2.Vaas from Far Cry 3 3. Pagan Min Far Cry 4 4. Dr.Eggman 5. Ridley
Number 1. You (the player) from Undertale. You commit genocide against an entire race of monsters, when in reality, it was you all along. Not Flowey. Not Chara. Just you. This type of irony is a desirable trait in a villain. And other than in Bioshock, I have never seen something like this done extremely well in a video game before.
Your original top ten featured Kefka (my favorite video game Villain) as your number one, and that was the day I subbed to you. What a journey it’s been since then! Good to know your tastes haven’t changed man, you are easily one of my favorite TH-camrs!
Man, that number 3 definitely got deep...but then there was a complete 180 when GlaDOS came in number 2. Talk about a switch between human intentions, then switching to machines, which just are cold and calculating forever. I know Eggman is a good villain, but it doesn't feel like his want of world domination is warranted enough. Bowser just wants to take over the Mushroom Kingdom, and (presumably) do things with Princess Peach. He's just a lizard, all alone in the Mushroom Kingdom with no one to love. Who wouldn't be desperate and try to do that? Ganondorf, he's pretty much a cursed figure that has no choice but to terrorize Hyrule. If anything, his existence is somewhat moot. That's why those aren't probably on the list, besides having the entire cast of B3 on the list, lol. Eh, I'm just glad Sephiroth is in this list. Good list Jirard. Wesker is a bastard though...
Porky is one of my favorite villains because of how real he feels; a lot of our modern time's villains are just like him. Awesome list! my personal favorite is Flowey the flower. Love you, Jirard❤
So glad Porky made the list. I prefer Wheatley over Glados, and would've liked for Vergil to make the list, but I totally see why these choices won out.
She can easily take a spot on my top 2, just for the only reason to get a Game Over in Banjo-Kazooie INTENTIONALLY! Her form there is JUST TOO HOT!!!!!
My personal favorite is Handsome Jack. The way he is a constant presence in your journey through Pandora in Borderlands 2, constantly insulting you and making your life harder, was honestly really fun. He was a compelling villain and honestly a total psychopath, killing your friends and using his own daughter to charge the vault key is pretty messed up. He's definitely what made that game one of my favorites of all time.
I had to double tap the right side of the screen i dont know how many times to finally get to the end of the ad. Besides, regardless of how I feel, a 2 minute ad is the worst hook I can imagine to get people to keep watching your video.
Aeris wasnt killed by sephiroth....she was stabbed by him...and then drowned by Cloud.......that bitch can take on a comet head on ...no sword in the stomach can kill her
In no particular order; Flowey (Undertale) Dr. Breen (Half-Life 2) GLaDOS (Portal) Merasmus (Team Fortress 2) The Narrator (The Stanley Parable, only in some endings)
here's my list in no particular order: Malos (Xenoblade 2) Dr. Eggman (Sonic) Risky Boots (Shantae) Kirei Kotomine (Fate/Stay Night. it's a visual novel so it counts as a game) Van (Tales of the Abyss) Homura (Senran Kagura Burst) King K. Rool (Donkey Kong) Zinyak (Saints Row 4) Cia (Hyrule Warriors) Altera (Fate/Extella)
Always love a new Completionist Top 10. I feel bad because I haven't watched regular episodes or New Game Plus in a while. Hard to keep up with YT when you have kids/don't currently have internet 😭 As much as I haven't watched lately, this channel will always be super important for me. Thank you to everyone at TOVG for everything.
Ghirahim... man, there’s a villain that left a big impact on me. Equal parts calculating and twisted, flamboyant and courteous yet bloodthirsty and malicious; some of his story beats are the best villain moments from any game, let alone Zelda title (ESPECIALLY towards the endgame, with one of the most ‘you’ve got to be kidding me’ thrilling interruptions ever). Just gotta keep praying he’ll show up again, as the main antagonist sometime soon.
Cool speaker. I'm sure it's not as good as the OG Jambox, but that bass is impressive for a unit that small. I actually appreciate the plug. Thx Jirard.
Yeah kefka amazing. The guy is bat shit crazy, A master strategist, and all-around just a loose cannon. He pushes a guy off the floating islands! I mean what other villain has his henchmen dust his shoes in the middle of the desert.... just for the shit of it? And as pointed out-he actually succeeds. Writing at its finest. He was a true villain, and one of the first and few of his kind.
I want some feedback from FF6 fans, and fans of Kefka. See, I really don't like Kefka, like seriously. I never got why everyone liked him so much. I mean he's OKAY, but... He's boring. He doesn't really have any reason besides the fact that he's crazy. The Joker from Batman isn't an accurate comparison like many people claim either, The Joker wants to prove a point, he wants to show that anyone can crack and if Batman does,then he wins and his insanity allows him to do anything to prove that point. Kefka? He just screams about hate all the time, and does a bunch of, admittedly, despicable things. I mean... What's so good about generic, unmotivated unadulterated hate? It can be okay, but here its just bland. Sure, Kefka was experimented on and it changed him forever. But he doesn't seem aware of that at all, nor does it seem like he'd even care. Kefka is just not compelling, or interesting or anything, except evil. Is that it? Do people just love the fact that he's simple and pure evil? If so, I can give you that. Personally for me... I just want to see a great character thats got a good reason, or a compelling plan, or something thats not flat. Characters like Zanza and Amalthus/Malos from the Xenoblade series, Organization 13 from KH, The Radiance from Hollow Knight and so many others are far superior because they have unique, driving motivations. Some rooted in evil, others rooted in their past experiences. I just never understood the praise Kefka got. While we're on the topic, I also, don't really like FF6 that much. I mean, I think its alright... But the story just isn't, well, interesting. Everything about it seems so generic, so bland, almost like they added it in with not little thought. Now I want to point out that this is my FIRST Final Fantasy game. I've always been a huge JRPG fan, playing other games in the genre, like the Xenoblade Series, the Mother series, Golden Sun and a lot more, but there was always the holy Trinity of games I wanted to experience... Chrono Trigger, FF6 and Secret of Mana. So before the Wii VC shutdown, I bought Chrono Trigger and FF6. Now I played Chrono Trigger over the summer and the first 3-5 hours had me a little disappointed in it, but then... Oh man, it picked up! I loved everything from the future segment until the end, such an amazing game, great arcs for the time segments and fantastic bosses, music and even a good mystery going on there with Schala and Magus. I waa thoroughly impressed by it, and it took a spot for one of my favorite SNES games easily. Now, I deliberately chose CT first because I had heard so many amazing things about FF6, I didn't want to ruin my experience by playing a superior game right before. But wow, I'm 20 hours in, in the World of Ruin and its just now starting to be a bearable experience. Before this, the random encounters made Pokemon look like a joke, every 3-5 steps there was something attacking, it desensitizes you a bit when you're playing upwards of 5 hours a time. Then I kept waiting for something cool to happen. It took up until the floating continent for anything cool to actually occur. Sure, there's the General Leo scene, but honestly, Kefka screaming about hate just devalues it to me. It's almost like the game is trying to show you why he's so evil, but without a reason for his malicious nature, it makes him seem one-dimensional, and he hasn't proven otherwise yet. Then there's the bosses. Moat of the bosses are really easy, but sometimes a boss will start out with a move that cripples me to an unrecoverable state then I'll just have to go back and try again, wasting time because of the moves that were selected at random, whereas other bosses I feel should be hard are piss easy, like Atma Weapon, just morph and use bolt 2 and he's gonna be a cake walk. Then there's unfair situations sometimes. Twice, so far, I've been set back 30-60 minutes because of the game(mostly, I'm partially at fault here too) once after the Atma fight, because once Celes is on the main continent I tried to open the menu but my finger slipped and hit a direction, I ran into a random battle and as soon as my ATB meter filled, the enemy hit me with "Beak," turned me to stone and instakilled me. Because I never saved since my finger slipped, I had to go all the way back. What type of random enemy has a death/death-like status move? That seems overly cheap. But I can forgive that. Its just a small gripe, but when I add it to everything else, it just amplifies the annoyance I feel with the game at times. I could go on for hours. But I'll leave it at this. Maybe its just because I haven't gotten far enough? I'd assume I'm about halfway, or a little less, but so far its been a straight line, with barely any accessible side content, a generic story and uncompelling villian. I don't get it, this game is just a bunch of cliches so far... ... Oh god. Am I too late? Have I already played so many games that were derivative of of FF6 that now that I've finally gotten around to playing it, it's not engaging? Is that it? Who knows. But sadly, its just not that compelling of an experience to me. I'd be interested in hearing why you like the game so much, why Kefka is such a good villian, or why the story is better than I'm giving it credit for so far. Again, I haven't beaten it. I'm about 20 hours in, and my opinions may change later down the line as things get better. But so far... Man. Kudos to anyone who reads this long rant disguised as an inquiry.
Great list. Also, I'd like to suggest a possible Top 10. Seeing how you just did a Top 10 Video Game Villains list, why not make one about your favorite video game heroes? I think it would be fun to see that.
gwyn lord of sunlight (dark souls) is much better and compelling. he fucks humanity for his own selfish goals and this action delays the era of mankind just out of fear his age of gods could end!
@@MondDesTodes Gwyn is an Adversary, not a Villain. He sacrificed himself to sustain his age of fire for his kind and kingdom and was left a hollowed out husk. He's only painted in a bad light from the perspective of humans but from the perspective of his fellow gods and subjects he was a hero.
Talking about Kefka: recently on Mobius FF, Kefka's job can obtained, and his ultimate move have this marvelous laugh, not even talking about the design of this class, how it move and the theme of this class is really fitting.
Nice but you gotta switch Kefka and Sephiroth around. Sephiroth was just a mama's boy that wanted to destroy the world. Kefka really does destroy the world.
Jacob Negretes The majority of the fight was quick time events. Everything that wasn’t Kratos on his feet fighting Balder with his axe and the chains was a quick time event.
Kinda surprised Flowey/Asriel isn't on this list. Anyway one of my favourite villains is Sandro from the Might and Magic series, whether from Enroth or Ashan that guy is an amazing schemer who earns all his power and pulls off some pretty incredible feats.
I love the Zelda series, but let's be honest, Ganon is a pretty boring, one-dimensional villain in every game. He's intimidating, but he's got no personality.
@@TheBrutalSax I've played Wind Waker many times, but one or two lines don't save Ganon from decades of being a generic villain with no strong motivation
Kefka is easily my favorite villain in a video game. Why I think I'll change my notification tone on my phone to his laugh. That's how you meet like minded friends! Thanks Kefka!
I LOVE KEFKA. Having just played the game recently for the first time, I was absolutely taken with it. I just wish they had given us a little more character development with everyone. I think the sheer number of characters mad it harder to fully flesh out their personalities, and that's too bad. I love that Kefka is just evil with no tragic backstory about how he's getting revenge or trying to solve a problem and just doing it the wrong way; nope, he just wants power and destruction and to watch people suffer. I think it would have been cool to see him rise through the ranks of the empire, showing that personality become more visible the more power and authority he gained. Still, he's definitely one of my favorites and I'm glad he's #1 on your list!
He’s a decent villain; I love that there’s barely even any motivations for his actions: He’s doing what he does *just because he can.* Now that’s pretty evil…
Flowey’s voice kinda creeped me out when Jack did it; it was almost like someone failing to adopt an innocent tone, then giving up halfway and going into full psychopath mode. Good stuff.
I'm gonna be straight-up with you Jirard... a business like yours doesn't produce enough content to justify your expenses. You have a huge office, and you employ too many staff members relative to your video output and the overall complexity in producing your videos. You could honestly run this whole business with perhaps one or two other employees, out of your home, without a substantial drop in quality. I doubt you'd lose any viewership at all. I'm not knocking you for needing to pay the bills but this is perhaps the most obvious "Fuck, I need some money" video I've ever seen on this channel. A top 10 list video (definition 'low-effort content' compared to say, a full episode of The Completionist) with a bluetooth speaker promotion integration? Come on, lol. TH-cam ad revenue must be really hurting. Jirard - I enjoy your content and I want you to be able to continue to make lots of it. However, I think you really need to reevaluate your business and your monthly burn. You could be generating the same (or nearly the same) overall revenue, yet keeping much more of it as profit if you ran shit a bit leaner. It'd be some more work without all the dudes you employ to help you out, but you could totally do it.
never thought too much about who my favorite villain in a videogame is, but Robotnik/Eggman instantly comes to mind from just being a fun fellow. I also enjoyed Lavos, Nyarlatothep (Persona 2), Fou Lu, Ashnard and Hades (Kid Icarus). Kefka and Glados are pretty good too.
nice to have this top ten back if anything it has only gotten better with the updated picks and the old picks that are still on here have only gotten even more fleshed out from when you first named them back in the day still looking forward to top ten video game songs since that is my favorite top ten from back in the day but all in good time
Same; it was annoying how the top 10 worst games of 2018 list had TH-cam as #1. If he wants to express disappointment about the topic, he should've made a separate video instead of misleading people who wanted a genuine top 10. like i agree with what he said regarding it, but misleading people by putting it in the top 10 is unprofessional.
@@bryangeake9540 Exactly! The WAY he needs to convey the message is just as important as the message itself. If he wants people to be serious about the injustice occurring in the TH-cam monetization system, he needs to present it in a manner that makes the most sense. He should address the issue first and then make a proper top 10. Do one thing at a time.
Let me know what you thought about my Top 10 Video Game Villains! Who do you think should be on this list?
Real good list agree with most of your picks, one of the big ones that was missing from the list was Dracula from castlevaina or dozens other games appears in or all of them the character is one of the most well known and greatest villains in fictional history.

My #1 is definitely Giygas from EarthBound, because of all the mystery surrounding it. A very fascinating character in my opinion.
The way I've always looked at it, it's a good story if you like the hero, but it's a great story if you like the villain.
nope final fantasy 13'2 was a horrible story and i liked the villain a lot in that, your lodgic fails you.

That's so weird, I heard you came down with a terrible case of Ligma...

My Top 5(In No Particular Order):
1. Logain MacTir (Dragon Age Origins) [He betrays your order, the Grey Wardens, takes over the kingdom, and relentlessly hunts you down and tries to shut down all your allies, and in the end, you can tell how mad he is.]
2. Raul Menendez (Call of Duty Black Ops II) [It always feels like he's one step ahead of you. He will run you around in circles if you've never played the game before and don't know what's coming.]
3. General Death'shead and Frau Engel (Wolfenstein) [Both incredibly sadistic and terrifying people. They did good making us fight them and not Mecha Hitler.]

Thanks for including Porky in the list. Such underrated villain! Such underrated game franchise!
I LOVE THE LIST BUT WHERE IS GANONDADDY
i think he intentionally left out all the expected ones
Lots of villains on here I didn't see coming, but not one I'd argue doesn't deserve to be on the list. Nicely done.
No. 1: TH-cam.
Nuff said.
True
Copyright problem hahahah
He already made this joke u1gx
Number 1: Cave Johson's Lemons
#1 Albert Wesker (Resident Evil)
#2 Virgil (DMC)
#3 Walter Sullivan (Silent Hill 4)
#4 Jack Baker (Resident Evil 7)
#5 Alfred and Alexia Ashford (RE Code Veronica)
#6 Shao Kahn (Mortal Kombat)
#7 Comstock (Bioshock Infinite)
#8 Ruvik (The Evil Within)
#9 Stefano (The Evil Within 2)
#10 Frank Fontaine (Bioshock)
#1: people who ask for the same video over and over again in the comments of every video you upload
Petscop 2 NOW
Number 1. You (the player) from Undertale.
You commit genocide against an entire race of monsters, when in reality, it was you all along. Not Flowey. Not Chara. Just you. This type of irony is a desirable trait in a villain. And other than in Bioshock, I have never seen something like this done extremely well in a video game before.
#1 is TH-cam???
Oh wait, wrong video...
Your original top ten featured Kefka (my favorite video game Villain) as your number one, and that was the day I subbed to you. What a journey it’s been since then!
Good to know your tastes haven’t changed man, you are easily one of my favorite TH-camrs!
Man, that number 3 definitely got deep...but then there was a complete 180 when GlaDOS came in number 2. Talk about a switch between human intentions, then switching to machines, which just are cold and calculating forever.
I know Eggman is a good villain, but it doesn't feel like his want of world domination is warranted enough. Bowser just wants to take over the Mushroom Kingdom, and (presumably) do things with Princess Peach. He's just a lizard, all alone in the Mushroom Kingdom with no one to love. Who wouldn't be desperate and try to do that? Ganondorf, he's pretty much a cursed figure that has no choice but to terrorize Hyrule. If anything, his existence is somewhat moot. That's why those aren't probably on the list, besides having the entire cast of B3 on the list, lol.
Eh, I'm just glad Sephiroth is in this list. Good list Jirard. Wesker is a bastard though...
I think Flowey is a great villan
1-Arthas
2-Dutch van der linde
3-Luca blight
4-Liquid snake
5-Handsome jack
6-Vaas
Ad ends at 2:15.
Porky is one of my favorite villains because of how real he feels; a lot of our modern time's villains are just like him.
Awesome list! my personal favorite is Flowey the flower.
Love you, Jirard❤
You have to admit that kefka has the most recognizable laugh in all of gaming
#1 Handsome Jack
#2 Mother Brain
#3 Ganondorf
#4 King K Rool
#5 Baby Bowser (Yoshi's Island)
#6 Giovanni
#7 Dracula
#8 Porky
#9 Wario
#10 Cortex
I was so happy with your #1!
So glad Porky made the list.
I prefer Wheatley over Glados, and would've liked for Vergil to make the list, but I totally see why these choices won out.
#1 Villain = Gravity in From Software games
#BigFacts
The worst enemy of all!
Luca Blight!!!
That "die pig!" scene is probably the darkest villain moment in rpg.
Luca and Kefka are easily my fav 2!!
Grunty will always be one of my favorite villains.
She can easily take a spot on my top 2, just for the only reason to get a Game Over in Banjo-Kazooie INTENTIONALLY! Her form there is JUST TOO HOT!!!!!
Very glad to see Porky and David on your list, extremely human choices that I know would be on my own! A bit surprised nobody from Metal Gear though.
Number 1. EA the company
My personal favorite is Handsome Jack. The way he is a constant presence in your journey through Pandora in Borderlands 2, constantly insulting you and making your life harder, was honestly really fun. He was a compelling villain and honestly a total psychopath, killing your friends and using his own daughter to charge the vault key is pretty messed up. He's definitely what made that game one of my favorites of all time.
A sponsorship at the beginning shouldn't last 2:15.
Don't complain about something you can just skip.
He couldn't skip it
I had to double tap the right side of the screen i dont know how many times to finally get to the end of the ad. Besides, regardless of how I feel, a 2 minute ad is the worst hook I can imagine to get people to keep watching your video.
It gets worse and worse with youtube...
Aeris wasnt killed by sephiroth....she was stabbed by him...and then drowned by Cloud.......that bitch can take on a comet head on ...no sword in the stomach can kill her
COMPLETE GLOBAL SATURATION !
In no particular order;
Flowey (Undertale)
Dr. Breen (Half-Life 2)
GLaDOS (Portal)
Merasmus (Team Fortress 2)
The Narrator (The Stanley Parable, only in some endings)
Did I really just skip over 2 minutes with of an ad? Probably the longest ad I’ve ever seen...
Favorite villain? Count Bleck from Super Paper Mario. The relatability is real
Hell yes Kefka best villain. One of few that actually wins
But still manages to lose it all.
here's my list in no particular order:
Malos (Xenoblade 2)
Dr. Eggman (Sonic)
Risky Boots (Shantae)
Kirei Kotomine (Fate/Stay Night. it's a visual novel so it counts as a game)
Van (Tales of the Abyss)
Homura (Senran Kagura Burst)
King K. Rool (Donkey Kong)
Zinyak (Saints Row 4)
Cia (Hyrule Warriors)
Altera (Fate/Extella)
Disappointed in the lack of Arvis (Fire Emblem Genealogy of the Holy War)
I've found the winner of this comment section. Thought I'd be the first to list him here.
Tom Nook isn't all up in your grill about dates and stuff though. He's like "You owe me but never worry about WHEN you're gonna pay it back fam"

Always love a new Completionist Top 10. I feel bad because I haven't watched regular episodes or New Game Plus in a while. Hard to keep up with YT when you have kids/don't currently have internet 😭 As much as I haven't watched lately, this channel will always be super important for me. Thank you to everyone at TOVG for everything.
Kefka is god.
No, really, he is.
Kratos kill Gods. Kefka is funny though.
Ghirahim... man, there’s a villain that left a big impact on me. Equal parts calculating and twisted, flamboyant and courteous yet bloodthirsty and malicious; some of his story beats are the best villain moments from any game, let alone Zelda title (ESPECIALLY towards the endgame, with one of the most ‘you’ve got to be kidding me’ thrilling interruptions ever). Just gotta keep praying he’ll show up again, as the main antagonist sometime soon.
Shao Khan is the emperor of outworld not the Netherealm
Cool speaker. I'm sure it's not as good as the OG Jambox, but that bass is impressive for a unit that small. I actually appreciate the plug. Thx Jirard.
Can’t disagree with Kefka. It’s impossible.
+Scott M Without a doubt the best FF Villain.
Yeah kefka amazing. The guy is bat shit crazy, A master strategist, and all-around just a loose cannon. He pushes a guy off the floating islands! I mean what other villain has his henchmen dust his shoes in the middle of the desert.... just for the shit of it? And as pointed out-he actually succeeds. Writing at its finest. He was a true villain, and one of the first and few of his kind.
Pity that during the second portion of the game he's nowhere near involved as the first part.
I can disagree and will always disagree. Sry clowns are fucking stupid.
I want some feedback from FF6 fans, and fans of Kefka.
See, I really don't like Kefka, like seriously. I never got why everyone liked him so much. I mean he's OKAY, but... He's boring. He doesn't really have any reason besides the fact that he's crazy. The Joker from Batman isn't an accurate comparison like many people claim either, The Joker wants to prove a point, he wants to show that anyone can crack and if Batman does,then he wins and his insanity allows him to do anything to prove that point.
Kefka? He just screams about hate all the time, and does a bunch of, admittedly, despicable things. I mean... What's so good about generic, unmotivated unadulterated hate? It can be okay, but here its just bland. Sure, Kefka was experimented on and it changed him forever. But he doesn't seem aware of that at all, nor does it seem like he'd even care. Kefka is just not compelling, or interesting or anything, except evil. Is that it? Do people just love the fact that he's simple and pure evil? If so, I can give you that.
Personally for me... I just want to see a great character thats got a good reason, or a compelling plan, or something thats not flat. Characters like Zanza and Amalthus/Malos from the Xenoblade series, Organization 13 from KH, The Radiance from Hollow Knight and so many others are far superior because they have unique, driving motivations. Some rooted in evil, others rooted in their past experiences. I just never understood the praise Kefka got.
While we're on the topic, I also, don't really like FF6 that much. I mean, I think its alright... But the story just isn't, well, interesting. Everything about it seems so generic, so bland, almost like they added it in with not little thought. Now I want to point out that this is my FIRST Final Fantasy game. I've always been a huge JRPG fan, playing other games in the genre, like the Xenoblade Series, the Mother series, Golden Sun and a lot more, but there was always the holy Trinity of games I wanted to experience... Chrono Trigger, FF6 and Secret of Mana. So before the Wii VC shutdown, I bought Chrono Trigger and FF6. Now I played Chrono Trigger over the summer and the first 3-5 hours had me a little disappointed in it, but then... Oh man, it picked up! I loved everything from the future segment until the end, such an amazing game, great arcs for the time segments and fantastic bosses, music and even a good mystery going on there with Schala and Magus. I waa thoroughly impressed by it, and it took a spot for one of my favorite SNES games easily.
Now, I deliberately chose CT first because I had heard so many amazing things about FF6, I didn't want to ruin my experience by playing a superior game right before. But wow, I'm 20 hours in, in the World of Ruin and its just now starting to be a bearable experience. Before this, the random encounters made Pokemon look like a joke, every 3-5 steps there was something attacking, it desensitizes you a bit when you're playing upwards of 5 hours a time. Then I kept waiting for something cool to happen. It took up until the floating continent for anything cool to actually occur. Sure, there's the General Leo scene, but honestly, Kefka screaming about hate just devalues it to me. It's almost like the game is trying to show you why he's so evil, but without a reason for his malicious nature, it makes him seem one-dimensional, and he hasn't proven otherwise yet. Then there's the bosses. Moat of the bosses are really easy, but sometimes a boss will start out with a move that cripples me to an unrecoverable state then I'll just have to go back and try again, wasting time because of the moves that were selected at random, whereas other bosses I feel should be hard are piss easy, like Atma Weapon, just morph and use bolt 2 and he's gonna be a cake walk. Then there's unfair situations sometimes. Twice, so far, I've been set back 30-60 minutes because of the game(mostly, I'm partially at fault here too) once after the Atma fight, because once Celes is on the main continent I tried to open the menu but my finger slipped and hit a direction, I ran into a random battle and as soon as my ATB meter filled, the enemy hit me with "Beak," turned me to stone and instakilled me. Because I never saved since my finger slipped, I had to go all the way back. What type of random enemy has a death/death-like status move? That seems overly cheap. But I can forgive that. Its just a small gripe, but when I add it to everything else, it just amplifies the annoyance I feel with the game at times. I could go on for hours. But I'll leave it at this. Maybe its just because I haven't gotten far enough? I'd assume I'm about halfway, or a little less, but so far its been a straight line, with barely any accessible side content, a generic story and uncompelling villian. I don't get it, this game is just a bunch of cliches so far...
... Oh god. Am I too late? Have I already played so many games that were derivative of of FF6 that now that I've finally gotten around to playing it, it's not engaging? Is that it?
Who knows. But sadly, its just not that compelling of an experience to me.
I'd be interested in hearing why you like the game so much, why Kefka is such a good villian, or why the story is better than I'm giving it credit for so far. Again, I haven't beaten it. I'm about 20 hours in, and my opinions may change later down the line as things get better. But so far... Man.
Kudos to anyone who reads this long rant disguised as an inquiry.
Great list.
Also, I'd like to suggest a possible Top 10. Seeing how you just did a Top 10 Video Game Villains list, why not make one about your favorite video game heroes? I think it would be fun to see that.
There's no other better villain than Kefka, change my mind.
gwyn lord of sunlight (dark souls) is much better and compelling. he fucks humanity for his own selfish goals and this action delays the era of mankind just out of fear his age of gods could end!
@@MondDesTodes I didn't even know there was an actual villain in Dark Souls.
Why would I change your mind when you're right?
@@MondDesTodes Gwyn is an Adversary, not a Villain. He sacrificed himself to sustain his age of fire for his kind and kingdom and was left a hollowed out husk. He's only painted in a bad light from the perspective of humans but from the perspective of his fellow gods and subjects he was a hero.
@@Kaigai_Kaiju but kaath said to me that hes a really bad motherfucker and i shouldnt trust people that telling the bullshit of frampt!
#1 Shaggy
#1. Dr. ivo robonik
Talking about Kefka: recently on Mobius FF, Kefka's job can obtained, and his ultimate move have this marvelous laugh, not even talking about the design of this class, how it move and the theme of this class is really fitting.
Can the next episode be about I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream?
That is a rough one, I read the original short story in high school, was quite disturbed haha
Bad Nook take, fam! Check out Green Scropion's top 10 Shopkeepers! That dude hit it right on the head!
I'll be honest, I thought this was a bit of a boring list as far as video game villains go.
And 2 FF villains? Really?
So... Who would your 10 be?
@@TheOriginalEdFry I'd have to think about it, but none of the ones here would be on it. Maybe Porky would be an honorable mention or something.
I agree with Kefka but Sephiroth (or FF7 in general) is just so overhyped.
Well Final Fantasy does tend to have some really good video game villains.
King K. Rool definitely wouldnt be on my list
Great list J-Man. Mine in no particular order :)
10. Kefka - FF6
9. Wesker - RE
8. Claus - Mother3
7. Shadowlord - NIER
6. Luca Blight - Suikoden2
5. Arthas - WC3
4. Tohru Adachi - Persona4
3. Joker - Arkham
2. Artorius - TalesOfBerseria
1. Sephiroth - FF7
It's been a minute.
Nice but you gotta switch Kefka and Sephiroth around. Sephiroth was just a mama's boy that wanted to destroy the world. Kefka really does destroy the world.
Let me guess , you like JPRGs
@@samfairclough6345 He's a man of culture! Haha
Tom lets you pay off your debt in your own good time. Down vote.
Kind of sad not to see Flowey or Bowser (specifically from the Paper and M&L games) on this list. Those were some great and meaningful villains.
Flowey’s a good one; especially in the way he completely subverts your expectations of him in the first five minutes of meeting him.
I thought Balder from god of war 4 was a pretty decent villian.
Roy Blekman I thought he was kind of disappointing. Most of his fights were made of quick time events
Jacob Negretes The majority of the fight was quick time events. Everything that wasn’t Kratos on his feet fighting Balder with his axe and the chains was a quick time event.
Kinda surprised Flowey/Asriel isn't on this list.
Anyway one of my favourite villains is Sandro from the Might and Magic series, whether from Enroth or Ashan that guy is an amazing schemer who earns all his power and pulls off some pretty incredible feats.
Yeah, I guess Flowey mighta been too obvious, *but then again…*
Uhhm... Where is Ganon(dorf)?
Don't forget Eggman and Bowser.
I love the Zelda series, but let's be honest, Ganon is a pretty boring, one-dimensional villain in every game. He's intimidating, but he's got no personality.
@@KalanArkais Someone hasn't played Wind Waker
@@KalanArkais Ganondorf is one dimensional but King K. Rool or Tom Nook (not even a villain) aren't?
@@TheBrutalSax I've played Wind Waker many times, but one or two lines don't save Ganon from decades of being a generic villain with no strong motivation
Kefka is easily my favorite villain in a video game. Why I think I'll change my notification tone on my phone to his laugh. That's how you meet like minded friends! Thanks Kefka!
The baddest villain
"Article 13"
Well there Coppa or Sopa or any government who want to rule the Internet.
Whether it’s Bowser or someone else like Dimentio or Fawful, there better be a Mario villain on this list.
When you use your own song to copyright claim yourself to ensure your revenue, I see u
I LOVE KEFKA. Having just played the game recently for the first time, I was absolutely taken with it. I just wish they had given us a little more character development with everyone. I think the sheer number of characters mad it harder to fully flesh out their personalities, and that's too bad. I love that Kefka is just evil with no tragic backstory about how he's getting revenge or trying to solve a problem and just doing it the wrong way; nope, he just wants power and destruction and to watch people suffer. I think it would have been cool to see him rise through the ranks of the empire, showing that personality become more visible the more power and authority he gained. Still, he's definitely one of my favorites and I'm glad he's #1 on your list!
Who else is watching while waiting for the direct?
My top ten,
10: Bowser
9: King K. Rool
8: Ghetsis
7: Shao Khan
6: Dr. Wily
5: Sephiroth
4: Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik
3: Xehanort
2: Dracula
1: Ganon
There's a villan that I like from my favorite game... Here's a hint to who they are.
"IN THIS WORLD. IT'S KILL, OR BE KILLED."
Gold Fish Jackscepticeye? I kid, though his Let’s Play of Undertale is amazing. 😃
@@viruschris3160
Thanks for reminding me that I have to watch his playthrough!!
He’s a decent villain; I love that there’s barely even any motivations for his actions: He’s doing what he does *just because he can.* Now that’s pretty evil…
Gold Fish Not a problem. I love the voices he does for each character. Gives them more personality.
Especially his Flowery voice.
Flowey’s voice kinda creeped me out when Jack did it; it was almost like someone failing to adopt an innocent tone, then giving up halfway and going into full psychopath mode. Good stuff.
Wesker tapped into the matrix so badass
I'm gonna be straight-up with you Jirard... a business like yours doesn't produce enough content to justify your expenses. You have a huge office, and you employ too many staff members relative to your video output and the overall complexity in producing your videos. You could honestly run this whole business with perhaps one or two other employees, out of your home, without a substantial drop in quality. I doubt you'd lose any viewership at all.
I'm not knocking you for needing to pay the bills but this is perhaps the most obvious "Fuck, I need some money" video I've ever seen on this channel. A top 10 list video (definition 'low-effort content' compared to say, a full episode of The Completionist) with a bluetooth speaker promotion integration? Come on, lol. TH-cam ad revenue must be really hurting.
Jirard - I enjoy your content and I want you to be able to continue to make lots of it. However, I think you really need to reevaluate your business and your monthly burn. You could be generating the same (or nearly the same) overall revenue, yet keeping much more of it as profit if you ran shit a bit leaner. It'd be some more work without all the dudes you employ to help you out, but you could totally do it.
Handsome Jack will always always be in my top 10. So will Sephiroth, Wesker
Number 1: Sakurai
Reason: NO WALUIGI IN SMASH!!!
Isn't this a good thing?
@@mr.boring869 no
never thought too much about who my favorite villain in a videogame is, but Robotnik/Eggman instantly comes to mind from just being a fun fellow. I also enjoyed Lavos, Nyarlatothep (Persona 2), Fou Lu, Ashnard and Hades (Kid Icarus).
Kefka and Glados are pretty good too.
Also why isn’t Tom nook #1 lol
Because he gives you an interest free mortgage. He's actually good.
nice to have this top ten back if anything it has only gotten better with the updated picks and the old picks that are still on here have only gotten even more fleshed out from when you first named them back in the day still looking forward to top ten video game songs since that is my favorite top ten from back in the day but all in good time
I swear to god, if #1 is TH-cam... I'm gonna unsubscribe.
Same; it was annoying how the top 10 worst games of 2018 list had TH-cam as #1. If he wants to express disappointment about the topic, he should've made a separate video instead of misleading people who wanted a genuine top 10. like i agree with what he said regarding it, but misleading people by putting it in the top 10 is unprofessional.
@@bryangeake9540 Exactly! The WAY he needs to convey the message is just as important as the message itself. If he wants people to be serious about the injustice occurring in the TH-cam monetization system, he needs to present it in a manner that makes the most sense. He should address the issue first and then make a proper top 10. Do one thing at a time.
