Forgotten Villains in Classic JRPGs
A role-playing game (RPG) can only be great if it has compelling main characters or antagonists. For instance, the relationship between Cloud and Sephiroth in “Final Fantasy 7” captivated many in 1997. The video game world was evolving rapidly at that time, with games starting to feel more like movies. Magus from “Chrono Trigger” is another example of an impressive villain, even though the main character Crono might not have been as engaging because he was a silent protagonist.
