On the TGS show floor this week is an updated Japanese build, including a few different save points that are anywhere from right at the beginning of the game, to about an hour in. In an attempt to dive a little further into the story – or at least hypothesize as to where the game is going – IGN instantly jumped into the 45 minute mark and checked out a few minutes more of Crystal Bearers.

Besides being known for great story lines lovable heroes, Square/Enix's uber-popular franchise is also known for having some of the meanest and most evil baddies in the history of video games.
What does it take to make a successful bad guy who makes a real impact on gamers? The character's costume certainly plays a part. Maybe it's how dramatic of an introduction the character has? Maybe it's all about how insanely crazy, strong, and determined the antagonist is. We still think the costume plays some part. You be the judge."
Kefka been there before and surpassed him. As I love Sephiroth, he's my favourite villain, Kefka is much more than him. Makes Sephy look like a wannabe.
Sephiroth is more bad ass than Kefka, but no one will be crazier than Kefka. The guy is a definition of 'evil'. He should be tops in that list, not Sephiroth.
from the article - "While we’re not allowed to number our top five lists anymore, there’s little doubt that Sephiroth would top the list if it were titled "popular" bad guys. Even though he's not the most evil, his hatred puts him in the top five."
Why can't you number a top 5?
lol, Sephiroths a little mommas boy always crying for mother. Kefka actually destroyed the world unlike the rest of them.
Sephiroth is a big wet p(an)sy. I'd rate Kuja over him, and Kuja is basically a schoolgirl.
Hands down: Sephiroth. What other villian has a symphony orchestra perform his theme song to live audiences? huh huh? That's right, Sephiroth PWNS!!!
was that a chick dressed as him in the pic. I would have to say the one I hated the most was seymor from FFX. Turned his mom into a summons and kept her in the basement all chained up.
Sephiroth has more rich character development, and a more obvious motivation for destruction. While Kefka is insane, Sephiroth was once psychology (seemly) normal, and even a great hero at one point.
He also didn't think what he was doing was wrong at all. Sephiroth honestly thought he was saving the world by becoming it's God.
"Sephiroth is more bad ass than Kefka, but no one will be crazier than Kefka. The guy is a definition of 'evil'. He should be tops in that list, not Sephiroth."
I kinda agree with that, though they did say they aren't allowed to number them. :p
Granted Sephiroth is another likeable villian from the FF series, I'd have to give the Bat**** crazy overall title to Kefka. The amount of stuff Sephiroth did in FF7 is kinda pale in comparison to the amount of grief, death, and overall things Kefka did in FF6.
However Sephiroth did make it seem more personal to what he did, which still makes him on the top lists.
why would sefi top the list the list said most evil bad guys technically speaking compared to what some of the other FF have done and what some of them actually are like the embodiment of malice itself sefi isn't really all that evil just someone who went insane
its just a popularity thing in the end anyways
I define evil as someone for no remorse or compassion for no living being on this planet. A pure malicious conscious from beggining to end. Someone that not even his/her mother would love. For this, Kefka takes the specifications perfectly. A pathetic weakling from the start of the game, towards becoming something like the devil itself. But regardless of his power, he was always an evil twat.
Barthandelus in XIII was pretty lame, even if it wasn't hermaphrodite lame like almost all other FF villains, he was pretty lame.
Most evil had to be Kefka... sorry Sephiroth fans, he was just a lonely kid who missed mommy.
dear god, main villain of ff13 was probably the worst villian in any game since xenosaga 2....probably cuz they r both popes.....but UGhhh, i think ff13 wuda been better if guy cid, or guy with silver hair or even jihl (chick with huge rack) was the main villain.
i loved the whole cast except for main villain. uggh i hate him so boring

The gameplay has evolved over the years and pleased gamers on everything from the original NES to the WonderSwan and still entrances gamers on the PS3 and 360. But there's another appeal factor about this series.
The women of Final Fantasy are considered among most gamers as some of the hottest around. Sure the fact that they're in an RPG series probably contributes. So with such a rich pool of talent in terms of hotness, who are the top babes in this category? We've compiled the list of what we think are the sexiest female characters in the history of the Final Fantasy franchise."
:( No Aerith? Not too bad of a list though.
MY top 5 are:
5. Celes Chere (VI)
4. Rinoa Heartilly (VIII)
3. Rosa Farrell (IV)
2. Oerba Yun Fang (XIII)
1. Aerith Gainsborough (VII)
DAYEM! Beatrix is a VERY close second to Tifa. I forgot all about her. The odd character proportions from IX worked on Beatrix, lol.
How is Fran not on there?
What are they smoking?!?!?!?

What about Lulu? Am I the only one that thinks Lulu is smoking HOT!!!?
I agree Fran should be in there too i like her. (it's the ears) maybe I have a fetish :)
Lulu, was always my favorite, i never though yuna was hot for a second, same with rikku.
Actually, it was always Fran's accent that really got me, as far as attractiveness goes. Penelo, physically and socially, is more my type, though.
I find myself ashamed that I even commented on this thread. But... anything Final Fantasy grabs my interest!

I think Lulu should've been on there... :P
She's definitely my #2. (After Tifa of course :P)
TGH Writes:
"The Crystal Chronicles series of Final Fantasy games have long been considered the weaker of the franchise by many fans. Although the sales have seen great numbers, the story is what fails to impress most fans. All the Crystal Chronicles games take place within the same world, which is a rarity in the series, as most take place in different universes. Fans of the series can remember which race is which between the games and follow their evolving history."
I can't wait for this game. Going to be awesome.
