There's two types of end-bosses in Final Fantasy games.

Type 1 - They are the primary antagonist throughout the game

Type 2 - They only show up in the final boss fight

Final Fantasy 1 - Garland/Chaos (Type 1)

Final Fantasy 2 - Emperor (Type 1)

Final Fantasy 3 - Cloud of Darkness (Type 2)

Final Fantasy 4 - Zeromus (Type 2 - Golbez is Type 1)

Final Fantasy 5 - ExDeath (Type 2)

Final Fantasy 6 - Kefka (Type 1)

Final Fantasy 7 - Sephiroth (Type 1)

Final Fantasy 8 - Ultimecia (Type 2, but if you combine her, Adel, and Edea into one, it's Type 1)

Final Fantasy 9 - Necron (Type 2, but Kuja is Type 1)

Final Fantasy 10 - Yu Yevon (Type 2)

Final Fantasy 12 - Vayne (Type 1)

Final Fantasy 13 - Orphan (Type 2)

So you're saying you either know a villain in the narrative from the beginning or you find out somewhere down the line? Makes sense for any media.

To be fair Kefka was a Lieutenant, equal to Leo until the Floating Continent. He was the Empire's first Magicka-enhanced soldier. And Geshtal's whole scheme worked until Kefka just outright kills him and takes over.

Type 2 villains literally don't appear until the very end (Zeromus).

Type 1s drive the story.

Kefka would still be a Type 3. Sure he's around doing horrible shite, but he's not the main antagonist until the second half of the game.

The Worst Villian, even though he wasn't the main one, was Maester Seymour. Not because of trying to kill the world or poison anyone... Just because Yuna is my hoe and that bitch took her from me to Marry. I enjoyed defeating him the 23 times you fight in the game.

If we're now talking best and worst FF villains generally, shout out to Ultros for repeatedly delivering the comic relief goods

Sephiroth had the cooler back story, but Kefka gets the nod for actually destroying the world. Pretty sure he's the only bad guy in the FF series to do that.
