Message: [QUOTE="Ian Naxieas, post: 63289, member: 4966"] Everyone loves a good villain, right? Or at least loves to hate them. I'm curious who you all personally consider to be the most despicable of the bunch. Could be based off actions, attitude, anything! The little shit that made me think of this idea for a thread is none other than Argath Thadalfus (Algus Sadalfas) from Final Fantasy Tactics. He seems like a decent enough fella at the start, joining Ramza and Delita and seemingly becoming a reliable ally for them. It doesn't take long for his true nature to rear it's ugly head. His dialogue with Milleuda during the first fight with her reveals his utter disdain for anyone not born a noble and it only gets worse when he shit talks Delita after his sister, Tietra, was kidnapped. He gets a much deserved punch in the face and Ramza tells him to sod off. It all comes to a head at Ziekden Fortress, where Argath (on Zalbaag's order, to be fair) fatally shoots Tietra with a crossbow to get to her kidnapper. The final battle of Chapter 1 ensues and Argath is taken out. Argath is barely even a pawn in the grand scheme of things and isn't in the story for long, but he's a despicable little shit for half the time he is. He probably wouldn't be as hated as he is if he didn't spend a good chunk of time being your ally before doing a 180 into pricksville. It's a testament to the writers for making such a piece of shit in such a short amount of time. He's also almost sympathetic, coming from a disgraced noble family due to cowardice from his grandfather. He just wants to restore his family's honor, but does it in the most boot licking little shit way. I'd say he's my most hated villain in the Final Fantasy series and I can't actually think of anyone I hate more in any other video game at the moment. He's just excellent proof that villains can be so much more interesting when their motivations are beyond "Hey I'm gonna destroy the world for reasons!"
