You can only find them in older games, unfortunately. Villains post-2020 are mostly "morally grey."

There's a difference between just having a very basic pure evil villain like "Dark Sorcerer Klantor" or "Evil King of Darkness" or whoever in a basic platformer or fairly simplistic 80s RPG. Having one in an extensive story driven RPG where there's plenty of character development for everyone is a bit rarer. There was a sweet spot in about the mid to late 90s where it was more common.

He "won" in that he got what he wanted, but for people like him it is never enough, he always wants more, other people having anything means they have something he doesn't and thus views it as spiting him personally, eventually even their basic existence is is intolerable. Kefka is a black hole of nihilism, first he wants everything for him, a monument to himself, then by the end he wants nothing for everyone and everything, a monument to nonexistence. He's unwilling and unable to budge from this path and that's why he loses, life will fight to exist regardless of his belief that it's pointless, and the only thing that will cease to exist is him.

People suck off Sephiroth (mostly millennial retards but they don't count as people) because he was "cool," but he actually sucked in his own original game.
Aside from what >>712785824 said, his story is literally
>Made some Lovecraft-esque discovery about his parentage
>Went crazy and decided to destroy the world
He wasn't compelling or interesting in the slightest, Jenova as a concept was way more interesting and made for far more memorable scenes than Sephiroth ever did, even if millennialtards get all misty eyed over muh Earisu death scene. Those creepy scenes where Jenova busted out of her cell and you were following blood trails around an abandoned complex were way more kino than any shit Sephiroth ever did.

Meteion didn't really destroy much herself, though. The universe is just naturally inclined towards desolation and despair. Etheirys is the outlier to have found hope and the will to persist.
She only killed a few of the worlds she landed on, and even those were was just pushing them over the brink as they were already running out of reasons to live or in the middle of apocalyptic final wars that had nothing to do with her.

If you want to get really specific, his intention was to wound the world to soak up all the lifestream juice coming to mend the wound he caused, but practically speaking a wound that bad and him in charge of the resulting spirit bomb would have destroyed it.
But it's immaterial because he was a terrible villain that literally only gets a pass because millennials thought he looked cool.

Sephiroth's a fine villain even if his motivation is ultimately humdrum. His role as a villain is not to wow you with his insightful dreams, but to torment Cloud as his archrival. He does this with aplomb.

Source? At that particular point she was still a regular hive mind space birb I thought. She got emo over all the worlds she found that had accidentallied themselves, and then she escaped from the ancients due to an extremely convenient world wide memory wipe machine that just so happened to be laying around, and then she began singing the song to end all life on Etheirys, and then because gay shit regarding aether and dynamis the world was saved when one of the ancients had the biggest Woman Moment in history, because otherwise nothing would make sense (and plenty still didn't make sense).

Sure but you don't know that at that point in the story, and even once you do she is wearing Sephiroth's face and speaking his voice so it's ultimately interchangeable in the eyes of the audience. Sephiroth as he used to exist only exists in flashbacks within the original game's storyline.

we dont know how many hermes sent out but it was enough that the birds continuously ran into dead planets or societies on the verge of offing themselves to the point that they all started getting depressed about it and planets they started visiting were being impacted by the negative feelings resonating from the birds directly causing those worlds to end themselves. by the time hermes reaches out and it corrupts main bird theyve probably killed off hundreds if not thousands of planets from their presence. once main bird joined the flock they fucked off to the edge of the universe to do their song to end the entire universe not just etheirys. so by the end of endwalker the majority of the universe is dead. but due to the reversal main bird did life would start to return to the universe.

There were a few moments that were clearly initiated by her despair getting too close to them. The Nibirun had no reasons to kill themselves until she asked their reason for living. Similarly the world that was managed by a godlike being was getting along fine until she showed up and asked the god what his deal was, which made him sperg out and kill himself.

You're an idiot. I'm not talking about the Final Days, I'm talking about IN GENERAL. Venat introduced despair and so introduced a striving to keep on living which the Ancients lacked. Otherwise, the Ancients were going to one day finish their business, collectively agree they have no more reason to live, and commit mass suicide.
Again. Just like the Nibirun.

Source: why do you think Meteion went nuts at all, imbecile?
If there was a majority of living, happy worlds, you'd think she'd have come across even five of them. Instead, we only have two, two examples that can be asserted were her fault.
Meanwhile, the ACTUAL majority of the universe were fucking genocided to dust by the Omicrons long before she took wing.

Which is still more than most FF Villains manage. From the point of view of the Ascians, she won so hard that their entire world and people are in literal 14 shambles, and the desolated ruins get now inhabited by retarded half wits that can barely be called sentient.

Cloud of Darkness (IX version, unsure if the FF III version ever did anything) is the only other FF Villain that can hold a candle to the Endsinger.

How many worlds did the Meteia see?
How many even had people LEFT to die from her presence?
Count them, please.
Her report was thus: the universe is inimical to life. Death is not only the default and most prolific state by far, but the second most common state is apocalyptic decay. Long, long before she did anything at all.

Sephiroth has personal connections to Cloud, Tifa, and Zack as the alpha male. When his ego is shattered he goes out of their way to bully them the same way Marcello does with Angelo in DQ8. Kefka has no ties to the protagonist but is memorable for being colorful in a generic plot about the rebels fighting the emperor.

This. Meteion alone has a bigger theoretical body count than any villain in the entire series easily. She is left unchecked for 12,000 years at the edge of the galaxy with her sisters unleashing the "Song of Oblivion" on countless worlds. She is basically a Thanos scale threat in terms of how many living things she has potentially killed.

You do realize that over half the planets Meteion lists off were dead from natural causes and the majority of the rest died from wars or invasions. Emet told Hermes his question for Meteion was flawed because of that. If we assume that the universe as hella old of course there might be more dead worlds out there than alive after a certain amount of time that doesn't mean the whole universe is depressed. The bird became depressed because at the time she couldn't find anyone to answer the question no different from a child who doesn't understand how things are. Then when she did start finding life her depression was affecting the people she met killing them off. To add to this the universe of XIV life is reborn after a certain amount of time and part of the song of oblivion was not only destroying anything that was still alive but preventing them from being reborn as well as accelerating the heat death of the universe. Thats why at the end Meteion says she will sing a new song to make up for all that they destroyed and so that life can return to the universe again.

That's what I'm talking about, dumbass. That the universe is predisposed towards death. Death is natural, death is fundamental, death is expected. Death is so ubiquitous that it was the majority status before Meteion landed on a single planet.
Meteion killed some of the universe, yes. But the majority of the place was empty and destroyed. Midgardsormr gave credence to this, too; the Dragonstar was destroyed before the Endsinger began her song (she had never even seen the Dragonstar at its height), and he found NO WORLDS AT ALL capable of safe landing in his journey across the universe.
Admittedly, she had started singing by the time he found Etheirys, considering he had to bargain with Hydaelyn to be allowed on Etheirys at all, so we must assume some overlap. But in his initial flight, there was no safe haven, anywhere in the universe, and Etheirys was his last hope.

Anon this is why you are being called a retard by that anon you are literally making shit up.
>That the universe is predisposed towards death
So because death exists you are acting like Meteion didn't kill anyone and that everyone else was already dead which isn't true. Meteion lost her mind after visiting a handful of planets that just so happened to not have life. But soon after before her song even began she starts running into life but by that point shes radiating depression energy from her flat chest.
>Midgardsormr gave credence to this, too
Midgardsomr stated that no where in the universe was safe except for Etheirys because planets were dying left and right because of the song and war path of the omicrons. He saw Etheirys as a beacon of hope for the universe because they were still standing strong despite the song. He arrived about 10,000 years ago from current time sometime during the First Umbral Era. While the sundering and final days started 12,000+ years from the current time.

Legit though you are a retard because your whole argument is because death happens what Meteion did doesn't matter even though one of the big things is that life also gets reborn because of the lifestream so no its not "Death is sso ubiquitous that it was the majority of the status".

Anon, you're apparently incapable of FUCKING READING MY VERY POSTS, how can you be expected to read FFXIV's plot? I'm saying she didn't kill the majority, not nobody. Of course she killed some, but it's a largely empty universe the Endsinger presides over.
>Midgardsomr stated that no where in the universe was safe except for Etheirys because planets were dying left and right because of the song and war path of the omicrons.
Midgarsormr's first flight was well before the Endsinger began singing, and before the Meteia even cataloged Ostrakon Deka-Okto. There is no need for more than that.
>your whole argument is because death happens what Meteion did doesn't matter
Of course it matters. She's still accelerating the cycle of death, and she intends on accelerating it further until life can no longer occur at all. But she is not at all responsible for the cycle of death and ubiquity of despair. She is a force multiplier on a problem that exists regardless of her.

Clearly you cant read because that is what you are saying that the majority was dead when you have no proof except a handfuls of planets that she first found and yes it is a handful of planets because the dragonstar was the 18th one she found
>Midgarsormr's first flight was well before the Endsinger began singing,
No not well before and even then it has no base in your retarded ass argument of shit you are making up. She found them soon after they had been attacked by omicron and not long after she started her song So near the beginning of his escape the song started and worlds were again falling left and right and that's why he went to Etheirys
>But she is not at all responsible for the cycle of death
This shows you are retarded and your argument has been flawed and in bad faith from the beginning. No one said she created death only that she out killed Kefka by killing the majority of the universe which was the original argument to begin with. Just because you keep making up shit that the majority of the universe was already dead doesn't make it true. Now do us all a favor and kill yourself you fucking dumbass.

She visited countless, the Dragonstar was one of the first she found but that is insignificant. There were no happy worlds. There were a scarce handful of placid worlds, that her presence tipped into further desolation, but most worlds were just plain empty, graveyard upon graveyard.
>She found them soon after they had been attacked by omicron and not long after she started her song
Now you're the one making up timeframes. She found the Omicrons first, they're Ostrakon Deka-Hexi. The Omicrons had long since won, come to their despair, and shut down. Then she found the Dragonstar, a decaying ruin with a few handfuls of dragons dying on a poisoned land. This, clearly, was a great deal of time after Midgardsormr had left, considering he left in the middle of the war. At the very least, it undeniably occurs last in a sequence of Midgardsormr's retreat, the Omicron's final victory, the Omicron's coming to terms and shutdown, and then Meteion's discovery of the Omicrons and the Dragonstar. If you think that all happened in a week, you're fucking retarded.
And even then, she STILL didn't start singing until that was all catalogued and brought back to Hermes.
>No one said she created death
And I'm not arguing against that, I only raised the point that she killed far less than she seemed. You are the one who fights with strawmen, not I. Now stop being a moron on the internet, it's not a good strategy.

Meteion is a being of pure dynamis. When she came to a world, they were on the precipice of something, either great or terrible and she came to them with the most dangerous question, "what is the meaning of life?" Because her powers are powered by the emotions of others, her powers made everything worse.

The worlds represented in Ultima Thule, the Meteia either found them that way or tipped them over the edge by accident, yeah. But at some point the hivemind went over the edge of despair themselves and decided that everything should die - that's the message the Meteia collective transmitted back to Hermes via "our" Meteion, the one we befriended on Elpis, who then fled to join her sisters.

After that, the collective formed the Endsinger and started singing the Song of Oblivion, which caused the Final Days phenomena to echo throughout the universe. If you've done the Manderville/relic quests, PuPu says that his homeworld was also destroyed by the Final Days and he and his friend were wandering the universe to find an inhabitable world. The Final Days also destroyed the Mandervillian empire centuries ago, and the being who later assumed the identity of Godbrand Manderville was the only known survivor. Says something when every live alien we meet and some of the dead ones is a refugee and a survivor of whatever the Song of Oblivion did to their homeworld.

This only happened two times in her minimum of 20 worlds visited, anon. Possibly three; it's unclear if the Karellians would have fired the nukes if not for her presence, but they probably would've; Meteion didn't start the war, just made them a touch more fervent.

Yes. The matter is, she's doing this to a universe that's ALREADY MIRED IN MISERY AND DEATH. Death and misery are everywhere to be found. It's why she's become like that to begin with.
She's butchering the few survivors that persist in a universe filled with bones and silence.

That's what the Remake trilogy is, secretly.
Also, Advent Children, but that's a movie.
And Dirge of Cerberus, but that's a spin-off.

4 kind of ate it's opportunity because Japan loves it more and now it's too old to be put at the forefront of milking. Like you want to know what sequel they're thinking of making after Remake? 10-3.
