For the NES games...come on, what do you expect? Some of the back story does make the Emperor pretty bad-ass, in the manga, that is. Zemus, I agree, that always irked me. I liked Exdeath, he might have the personality of a tree (ziiiiiiiiiiing) but he had his moments. Kefka is just ****ing awesome, Sephiroth was just shallow and shit. Ultimecia was interesting, perhaps if we DID get more first person contact with her, she could have had more character, but her presence WAS known the whole time. I really enjoy Kuja and Garland, though we can relate with them both, at least a little bit. Garland just wanted to preserve his home planet, though it did cause a lot of mass genocides and Kuja was a typical anti-hero, his existence was tragic, and his life ends with a heroic act, kinda making him less of a villain, but his character is one of my favorites. Yu Yevon was another one of the last minute things, and he had no REAL character, but was more of a symbol of Yevon as a whole, which gives it a lot of strength, killing him symbolizing ending the evil church and cycle of death that was Sin.
I never played much of 12 and have never touched 13 because I don't like handling fecal matter.
