Special:Badtitle/NS90:Talk:Complete Monster/Final Fantasy/"Examples" that should NOT be seen here.


 * Cagnazzo from Final Fantasy IV - Not only insufficiently heinous, but it was stated outright that he was brainwashed by Zemus and is a nicer person upon revival. An easy disqualification right there.


 * Emperor Gesthal from Final Fantasy VI - Mostly a standard evil tyrant, lacks characterization, and his deeds are utterly eclipsed in heinousness by Kefka.


 * Heidegger and Scarlet from Final Fantasy VII - While interpreting them as potential monsters is YMMV, the fact is that they're insufficiently heinous compared to President Shinra, Hojo, Sephiroth, and JENOVA.


 * Rufus Shinra from Final Fantasy VII - He was dehumanized by his father's upbringing of him and yet still showed positive qualities even before his redemption in Advent Children. Also fails the heinous standard.


 * Any of the Turks from Final Fantasy VII - Reno and Tseng may have been involved in Sector 7's demise, but they were under orders from Heidegger and President Shinra to do that. All of them are pure Punch Clock Villains who fail the heinous standard and all have very noticeable redeeming features.


 * Don Corneo from Final Fantasy VII - This is a guy who could very easily qualify in a different work, but in this game he's so utterly Laughably Evil that he fails the heinous standard.


 * Sephiroth from Final Fantasy VII - Has a solid Freudian Excuse: he inherited JENOVA's legacy, thus his moral agency and all that he does can be attributed to JENOVA, as well as Hojo's experiments.


 * Ultimecia from Final Fantasy VIII - Is shown to have a tragic quality to her at the very end, and is characterized too little to qualify.


 * Adel from Final Fantasy VIII - Has little to no characterization and doesn't pass the heinous standard.


 * Garden Master NORG from Final Fantasy VIII - We only see him once and he's nothing but a standard evil Jerkass.


 * Queen Brahne from Final Fantasy IX - Was once a genuinely kind, loving person before getting possessed by an evil power, and ends up having a Death Equals Redemption moment.


 * Garland from Final Fantasy IX - His spirit is shown to be remorseful for his deeds after his death, and he helps guide the main party through the last level as atonement.


 * Kuja from Final Fantasy IX - Is a Tragic Villain with a solid Freudian Excuse, some positive qualities, and Death Equals Redemption. He's ultimately forgiven by other characters in the end.


 * Necron from Final Fantasy IX - Generic Doomsday Villain incarnate.


 * Sin/Yu Yevon from Final Fantasy X - Is stated outright to be "neither good nor evil", just mindlessly insane.


 * Lady Yunalesca from Final Fantasy X - Had love for Lord Zaeon and believed herself to be well intentioned despite being clearly in the wrong.


 * Seymour Guado from Final Fantasy X - Loved his mother, has a solid Freudian Excuse for his psychology, displayed some positive qualities and genuine love for Yuna, honestly believe himself to be altruistic in saving Spira, and ultimately fails the heinous standard compared to Sin. He didn't even massacre all the Ronsos like he claimed, and the other characters end up seeing him as more pitiful than detestable.


 * The Maesters of Yevon from Final Fantasy X - They all range from Well Intentioned Extremists to Knight Templars, but none of them are truly heinous enough qualify.


 * Algus from Final Fantasy Tactics - He has a Freudian Excuse and being a hateful Jerkass who does only a few nasty things aside from his one Moral Event Horizon crossing isn't enough to qualify him for this trope.


 * Anyone from Final Fantasy XII who isn't Judge Bergan - Aside from that one example, no other villain in the game is completely evil or heinous enough.


 * Jihl Nabaat from Final Fantasy XIII - She showed positive qualities and was not nearly heinous enough beyond being a conniving bitch. I don't know what she was ever on here for aside from maybe misogyny.


 * Caius from Final Fantasy XIII-2 - Has a solid Freudian Excuse and is redeemed in the third installment of the trilogy.


 * Chaos from Dissidia - Is a Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds who's actually a pawn of Shinryu. He shows altruistic qualities (like his love for Cosmos) and is ultimately redeemable in the end.
