Meet Father Kotomine.

Spoiler: Along with All the Evils of the World.

Marche troll aside, Kotomine is just plain awesome. But

Spoiler

Fate route? Come on, we all know that Heaven's Feel is where he achieves his true level of awesome. That and Zero I guess.

I know, but the Angra Mainyu picture was the most impressive CG of him I could find. He's much harder to distinguish here [http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/3782/399ve.jpg], and most of the other Heaven's Feel shots are him being heroic.

But if we're talking about Type-Moon villains, then my favorite is

Spoiler

Nightmare Nanaya. Tatari Nanaya is cool, but he just doesn't carry the weight Nightmare Nanaya does.

Oh trust me, <url=http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/326.139628>I know. His appearance was genuinely surprising, and actually unnerved me whenever I encountered him.

<url=http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/1083/kt12.jpg>Guess who unnerved me more?

Ah, true on the Kotomine subject (did you play with the Waku Waku patch? If not, it adds in Realta Nua CGs to Nine Bullet Revolver, All the Evils of This World, and All That is Good in this Life. This is awesome, but the really important addition from Realta Nua comes to those who clear all five main endings.

I actually downloaded a folder with all of the Realta Nua CGs, long before I found out about that patch. I do plan to use it, though. Watching Nine Lives Blade Works in context is too cool a proposition to pass up (not to mention the Heaven's Feel fistfight).

...and yes, I know what you're talking about, and I'm actually saving it for when I need a pick-me-up. Saber is my favorite, after all...

As for the Kagetsu pair... the latter kind of seems odd to me. I mean, Eclipse sort of establishes Shiki as being totally zen about that particular subject. That and the one he usurps is more interesting in my opinion.

Spoiler

I also don't like how we have no real closure on where the REAL Kouma is. He just kind of vanishes at the end of Red Demon God and we hear no more from him.

I'm kinda disappointed about that, myself. Not so much because of Red Demon God, but because he's actually surprisingly interesting in Melty Blood.

Spoiler

It's odd. He quotes Buddhist scripture, speaks respectfully to almost everyone, generally seems like a pretty cool guy...and according to the Night of Wallachia, he's so insanely powerful in reality that he can maintain his own personality and motivations even as a tatari (and supposedly under White Len's control).

I definitely want to see more of him.

 

[The Madman]

SO3? Luther? I've no clue who you're citing.
*snip*

Quite literally, Luther was portrayed as the owner of a company which had created the entirety of the universe that is Star Ocean. After the "programs" were finding things that they weren't supposed to figure out, he figured he'd just wipe the memory and start from scratch, despite the fact that the "programs" were more along the lines of being true races in and of themselves. The kicker? He didn't care.

Clever, I see the comparison. Me, I'm talking Cthulhu, who by the by for those that don't know is not an Elder God, but a Great Old One.

The basic original description of the Great Old Ones is that they are a race of sentient... things. Things which exist in more dimensions than our rudimentary senses can detect. Creatures of such power and vastness out minds cannot even conceive of them. To see one is said to be madness! And so these vast god-like creatures wander the cosmos and where they go follows death and destruction and agony. Why they do it no one knows, for can the ant conceive the intentions of the foot which crushed it? I think not. As the original story goes the Elder Gods encountered these beings and, so it is theorized, tried to contain these Great Old Ones through means we cannot conceive in order to try and preserve themselves.

We do not know if they succeeded or not, for the Elder Gods are mostly vanished now. All we do know is that Cthulhu waits, dreaming, and when he awakens it shall be the end of humanity as we know it.

There are also other theories about the Elder Gods and the Great Old Ones, such as August Derleth's take on the matter where he theorized the two were once one and the same. Myself? I prefer to stick with the original story.

Technically, you are.

Love those Youtube carols. I'm pretty fond of Awake Ye Scary Great Old Ones [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbzuzSbCyfQ] myself.

S.H.O.D.A.N oooor.....maybe Icarus/Helios from Deus Ex...they sorta of werent evil...but their intentions could be called evil..

I seriously need to play Melty Blood.

Spoiler

I thought White Len couldn't control the Tatari beings though? I heard she makes a pact with Tatari Nanaya, but that he only does so to sustain his own existence. And even then doesn't he turn around on her once he's killed everyone else?

Spoiler

Yeah, they do all turn on her, but they also never act out-of-accord with their natures as manifested nightmares.

If I understood Wallachia right, the surprising thing about Kouma is that he doesn't act like that. If he acted like a genuine tatari, he'd likely be Shiki's fear of death in flesh, the implacable monster of Kagetsu Tohya; instead, he's powerful enough to exert self-control over his tatari nature, so he behaves essentially like the real Kouma.

More than that though I NEED TO PLAY BATTLE MOON WARS.

Spoiler

Among other things, apparently Nightmare Nanaya pacts with Archer and Roa does a fusion dance with SHIKI to become RoSHIaKI the ninja. Yeah.

I've been considering looking that up, myself...if vaguely. If anything, I'd want to play it for another thing I've heard about: the canonically impossible but unbelievably awesome concept of

Spoiler

Shikis Ryougi and Tohno doing a crossover Death Perception attack!

 

[Char-Nobyl]

Adolph Hitler. Even the might of Superman, Aquaman, and Captain Planet couldn't beat him on three separate occasions.

 

[Dirty Apple]

Not one mention of the Dark Lord of the Sith?? I realize that he redeems himself in the end, but to this day, the character of Darth Vader is one of the most recognizable villians in the world. Uncaring and powerful with a face that's a combination skull and nazi helmet, the elder Skywalker is the ultimate villain.

 

[TheOnceandFutureKing]

Iago

 

[Thaius]

Sephiroth. Easy. Pure evil, but still with a complicated past: so we get a complicated character we can identify with, but he's still a purely evil douchebag that we really want to kill. Not to mention he's just freaking hardcore.

From what I've played of Final Fantasy VI, Kefka is up there too. He's the freaking Joker of Final Fantasy: a maniacally evil clown.

 

[Mr. Eff_v1legacy]

Walter Sullivan. Followed closely by Pyramid Head.

 

[DrunkWithPower]

The Black Mask from Batman. Not everyone kills a robin.

 

[Axilon]

Anonymous from Gurren Lagann, for anime anyways. (Subjugation of an entire universe)

US cartoons... Megatron (Not only was he evil, he was pretty dapper in all that chrome)

Also, Davros is pretty vicious. (I cloned myself..... to make my army.... so I could just disintegrate all creation rather then dominate it)

Movies would be Vader, but Dr Evil is a close second only cause I rooted for both of them.

 

[Ninja Tank]

any character that get annoying is a villain to me for example that character everyone hates just for their voice or what they do.

 

[Supraliminal]

Dr. Wily

 

[TIMESWORDSMAN]

Fuckface, from Monster Man.
-Kills people with a monster truck.
-Gets run over by said monster truck until he (quite literally) looks like strawberry jam smeared on dirt in the outline of a person and still isn't dead!

It was a pretty good movie to.

 

[Sonicron]

The Elder God. Forever and ever and ever.

Hmm... Cthulhu or Silent Hill, thats a tough one.

One who will warp your sanity and leave you a empty shell. Or a town that will manifest all the horror and terror within an individuals soul... I will have to take an undecided on this one, and instead pick... Silent Hill when manifesting the visions of one of Cthulhu's victims...

The Elder God. Forever and ever and ever.

The Elder Gods are not Villains. To be a villain requires an antagonistic relationship, the Elder Gods however simply do not care. We are beneath their notice, little more than ants beneath their feet. And as such they care absolutely nothing for the trivial existence of humanity.

My apologies, I had no idea as to the ambiguity of my post. My knowledge of Cthulhu is almost non-existent and indeed never crossed my mind as a villain. I actually meant the Elder God from the Legacy of Kain series, voiced by Tony Jay. (Although, thinking back, that thing was entirely made up of tentacles and eyes and was most likely inspired by something out of the Cthulhu mythos.)

 

[Void(null)]

Legacy of Kain was a great series. I could never get into Soul Reaver because Raziel was all whiney and emo... but Kain was a bad ass, and the world/history of Nosgoth was awesome.

Ah the days of Good Crystal Dynamics games.
