Huh. You'd think that would be a huge drawback. I think when I found out he was an Elezen, I stopped caring for Darnus as a villain. He felt like a parody.

Now Gaius. That's an antagonist.

Psh Gaius is barely an antagonist.

He doesn't agree with senseless continental destruction and mass murder, it doesn't mean he's not an antagonist.

Shadow lord had a very weak story, but was overall a much harder boss, Darnus has an extremely cliche story, and is just a mid-boss anyways there is nothing "Final Boss Worthy" off him :/

The answer is:

Kefka!

I have to say I enjoyed Shadow Lord. I can't say whether I like one more than the other but all the while you thought the Shadow Lord was just complete evil you end up finding out he was the result of a heart-broken tale of betrayal. I was all "QnQ" when I was killing him. It was sad. D:'

Shadow Lord, Because Not like Nael Van Darnus I have a "Lord of Vermillion II" card of the Shadow Lord from Tokyo.

Here is the card shown on the ff wiki page.

...Which of these two villains had more of a lasting impact as the first major antagonist of the Final Fantasy MMO series?

i hope this properly highlights why this thread is completely ridiculous.

it's hard to make a lasting impact when THERE HASN'T BEEN ANY MORE STORY YET. ffxi tied the shadow lord back into story and lore long after his death, made a return as dynamis lord, blah blah blah. we have no idea what role van darnus will play in future story/lore, and the fight isn't even going to be available forever.

brb facepalming so hard it crushes my face into the back of my skull
