Zenos in FFXIV: Stormblood actually managed to enter my list of enjoyable antagonists. His own father--the current emperor of Garlemald--thinks of him as a monster. Zenos has a mad scientist for one of his right-hand men/women. He cuts down cowards in his own ranks, often in front of other soldiers under his command. He's powerful. He catches a dragon of devastating power and holds it captive in the middle of his garden, just for kicks (and you can actually believe it with him). He only spares your character, willingly, twice because of his overwhelming desire for a rival, and even tries to convince you that you're as much of a monster as he is before he finishes himself off.

I also enjoyed Kefka and Ardyn in their respective FF games.

Compare to Exdeath from V, who was a demon-possessed tree bent on the generic rule and destroy aspects of super villainy. Or every major antagonist of the XIII trilogy whose plans all boiled down to wanting you to kill them, the latter two so you can take their place.

Beatrice in "Wild Arms 3" was interesting for manipulating everyone, good or bad, to her ultimate end of using the world's energy to create a world of her own. She has the appearance of a little Gothic girl, and is the demon of dreams.

The main antagonist of "Tales of Graces" was just a sentient science experiment that decided to lash out and destroy everything . . . until Asbel's case of the stupid infected him and made him give humanity another chance.

There's this game that calls itself "Wild Arms 4." I have talked at length many times before on this board as to why I hate the game. The main antagonist? He convinces the main character's father to retaliate against humanity and try to destroy the world... by killing a puppy (totally just his own doing), then he goes blind in a confrontation with your party, and he decides to atone for his actions seconds before a giant rock falls on him and the only woman who cared for his ass. No apologies to anyone, including the man he convinced to try to destroy the world, no anything. His long-run scheme through most of the game? It was forgettable and amounted to nothing. AND HE WAS SOMEHOW STILL ONE OF THE BETTER THINGS ABOUT THAT PILE OF SHIT GAME!
