This is a very difficult question...
So let's proceed with elimination of incorrect process...
We know this is NOT the answer:

I always liked Jecht, he reminded me of my dad lol.

I'm going to nominate the entire paternal line of the Mishima family in Tekken.
@JustLooking123 beat me to it!

To be fair, Jecht actually loved Tidus, he just didn't know how to express his love properly, he was arrogant and emotionally abusive but deep down, he actually wanted Tidus to be better than him and
.
That being said, I would say Heihachi Mishima is by far the wrost father in all of gaming, this dude threw his son off a cliff, and later into an active volcano, many years later he tried to kill his grandson as well, this guy is just beyond twisted

The more I think about it, the more of a conundrum it is on how absolutely absent fathers as a concept are for most games and even media in general.

I love this dude's charisma but I don't even want to imagine for a second of being his kid.

Adopted a kid just for his resemblance to the protagonist Kunio, then proceeds to shoot him when his uselfulness is over.

When you think about it Jecht isn't that bad of a father when you take the entire lore of FFX and look at the spheres.

I would still love if Square would release either a novel or a one shot manga of Auron, Braska and Jecht's journey around Spira.

To be fair, Jecht actually loved Tidus, he just didn't know how to express his love properly, he was arrogant and emotionally abusive but deep down, he actually wanted Tidus to be better than him and

Yes, when you play FFX for the first time you'd be like "what a a-hole he was!" then replaying it makes you notice small details about the character. It's too bad that barely anyone bothered to collect the Spheres around the world to get to see more moments with him.


I got a controversial one: Big Boss

Especially the MSX era one.

Yea, an alcoholic that goes on a drunk rampage then guilts you into fixing everything just because he sired you is not a great dad

 

[Haizujard]
