The Not So Famous RPG Villains! -Warning this post contains spoilers!-

Villains are a important part of the story of any RPG, everyone that ever played one will agree on that.

Some villains are so famous you recognise them just by seeing their sillioute or hearing their theme song.

Sephiroth and Kefka are great examples of famous rpg villains, but this post is about another kind of villain, the ones that are constantly overlooked at polls, at forum discussions.

There's many reasons why a villain might be overlooked; his game might be relatively unknown or he might not be the main villain. This is just two reasons but I think you get the point.

So today I'll talk about some of my favorite rpg villains from great rpgs!


Dycedarg - Final Fantasy Tactics:
This game was until its psp remake sadly quite unheard of in europe.
Add the fact that Dycedarg isn't the main villain of the game and you can guess why hardly anyone mention him.

But why is he so great?
Well he's a fuckin dick thats why!

He is Ramza's brother and after their fathers death the head of the Beoulve family, a powerful noble family in the fantasy land of Ivalice.

How did he gain this position? He killed his dad! He also kills his friend and ally Prince Larg in his quest for the throne of Ivalice.

So patriacide aside, he also looks down on the common man, havin no qualms about sacrificing them for "the greater good" , tries to kill his brother Ramza, and is generally unlikeable.

As a person he is silver tounged, manipulative, sneaky and just a rat bastard! He dislikes takin the front, letting his underlings doing his dirty work. He is not above double crossing his allies if it benefits him. Being the head of the Beoulve Family, and by extention leader of the Northen Sky grants him one of the two largest armies in Ivalice.

Even with an army at his back and call, he is no weakling if forced into combat being both a master swordsman and an adept magican!

I can't really describe how horrible a person Dycedarg is, you need to play the game.. thats how disgusting he is! But that what makes him such a great villain.


Luca Blight - Suikoden 2

I'll be honest, this might be my favorite villain of all time, tied with Kefka.

While Dycedarg mentioned before prefers keeping in the shadows, Luca is the opposite, always being in the middle of the fight enjoying the bloodshed.

This guy is the Prince and later King of the Kingdom of Highland, a powerfull nation in the fictional suikoden world.

He is a terrible racist against people from Jowston Alliance, considering them to be worthless pigs that only deserves death. He enjoys killing to the degree that he takes the frontline to kill soldiers and civilians for the fun of it.

He like Dycedarg isn't above killing his father to attain greater power.

In combat he is a power house, able to singlehandely whipe out smaller battalions, his personal power never explained. He is tought to be one of the strongest people in the world, evident in the confrontations against him, where you use multiple parties against him, have aid from bowmen and then after beating the crap out of him, finnish him off with a 1on1 duel with the hero. One of the best boss battles ever.

In short, a racist bloodthirsty maniac king thats one of the strongest humans ever with one of the most powerfull armies in the world at his beck and call? Did I mention that he is devoid of sympathy? Thats a fearsome opponent and an awesome villain.


Mid Boss - Disgaea

Mid Boss, also known as "The Dark Adonis" is just as his name applies, a minor boss in Disgaea.
This guy is just awesome! Like most characters in Disgaea he's a demon, albeit a rather stupid one.

What really sets him apart from most demons are the fact that he's nice!

He's basicly the comic foil of the game, although its hinted at times that he's more than meets the eye.
