Yet Another List About Female Final Fantasy Villains
Four months ago, I wrote a list about some well-known female Final Fantasy villains and their antagonizing impact to the game. Here’s another list about yet another group of Final Fantasy girls who, for some part, will be remembered for their failures as they try to make things miserable in general. Remembering what our major female FF villains did, this list honors those who’ve tried but came up empty and certainly, their qualities include lack in bad-ass factor and character development.
We all know how devastating Ultimecia’s time-bending spells are and how General Beatrix would swing her blood-stained Save The Queen to knockout Quina or Vivi with Shock – this list endeavors some blunders which a female Final Fantasy baddie has committed throughout the game.
5. Lani (Final Fantasy IX) – Already mentioned here in the site once, this suave bounty hunter is nothing more of a failure. Failing to apprehend Zidane and the others plus, her ineffectiveness in combat makes her the party’s rag doll. Appalling at first, her axe can cleave for minimal damage without the need for Garnet to heal the party. Lani was also duped by a narcissistic Amarant and paired with her just to get a rematch with the sly Zidane – she ends up failing her mission to retrieve the Falcon Claw and appears ominously during a mini-game that involves Garnet and her real name.
4. Scarlet (Final Fantasy VII) – Shinra’s head for Weapons Development, Scarlet does nothing that would give Cloud and the party something to scream about. A conniving commander who takes responsibility into a whole new level, Scarlet follows her sadistic pleasure to punish anyone who would go against Rufus’s ideals. We all remember her and Tifa slapping each other at the tip of the rail gun only to get thwarted by the martial arts hottie into facial submission. Scarlet dies inside a mechanical golem which Cloud and the rest blew into smithereens.
3. Leblanc (Final Fantasy X-2) – Leader of the Leblanc Syndicate in Final Fantasy X-2, this pathetic excuse for a Sphere Hunter commands two more pathetic excuses for sidekicks. She’s the fake Yuna singing in the concert and the party confronts her in a very stylish fashion. Her motive is to make “Noojie-Woojie” proud. One of the more forgettable female Final Fantasy characters if you ask me.
2. Ultima, The High Seraph (Final Fantasy Tactics) – The reason for all the unnecessary bloodshed in the War of the Lions, Ultima once controlled the body of St. Ajora, the founder of the corrupt Glabados Church and, along with her twisted Zodiac minions, she almost succeeds in leaching out all humanity inside Alma in a last ditch effort to destroy mankind. Ultima must be defeated twice inside the Airship Graveyard.
1 Rosso The Crimson (Final Fantasy VII: Dirge of Cerberus) – A member of the Tsivets and one of the primary opponents in Dirge of Cerberus, Rosso is quite the skilled mercenary but her cacophonous tendencies makes her a bit annoying. In the English version, Rosso has a Russian accent making her a stereotypical female commander with merciless attributes attached and, seeing her fight with twin blades capable of gunfire makes her a very sick and challenging opponent for Vincent Valentine.
