I find it funny that we put Sephiroth so high up on the totem pole for FF villians. I mean, the only reason he is, is because he was the first FF villian on the PS1 with awesome (at the time) graphics. I do like Seph, but he kind of is one big emo kid with whiney mommy/parental issues. Though he did his villian predecessors justice. Kefka though....at least he succeeded in what he wanted first before being defeated....

Anyways, as for the 'big bad' in FFXIV I think once 2.4 is over and all of the lesser primals (elemental primals) have been killed/sent back into the aether is when Zodiark is going to become the main focus big bad. I'm at work so I can't get the picture I want to show, but the statue of Zodiark that they show in game at one point looks to have parts of the six lesser primals all in it sooo....

2.5 should be interesting ^_^ (or 2.6 if 2.5 is going to be Crystal Tower related)
