Compared to villains like Sephiroth, Exdeath doesn't really has as much depth as anyone else and the tree twist didn't help matters. I like Exdeath even if there really isn't much to him.

And compared to Exdeath, Sephiroth is a mama's boy.

Sephiroth has depth...?

Even a sheet of paper has more depth than Sephiroth.
Granted, Exdeath hasn't got more depth, but at least he has a cooler design and a cooler theme song, and isn't having an Oedipus complex.

ExDeath, the villain of one of the worst FF out there.

What amuses me more is his name. They could've named him Mr.Badguy Literally & even get away with it.

LMAO! Exdeath does have a lame name, eh? It was one of the first things I noticed about him. I thought . . . WTF? 'Exdeath'? Sounds like something a first-grader would've come up with to me. I do love all FF titles, but V is truly the weakest of them all. It's got its good points and bad, but more so bad. The story is quite tiresome, the characters are half-baked, and the music isn't even all that great. It really seems like they hardly gave the game any effort at all to create. It plays out (and even looks) like something somebody scribbled out one day when they were bored. I guess it does have its nostalgic charm, and that's really the only thing that interests me about it.

Also, Sephiroth only has depth as a mama's boy.

I remember when I was listening to his final battle song & then a friend who loves to play FFV, comes & ask me what am I listening, then I'll say something like.
"It's the villain theme song of FFV"
then he says "oh yeah, what was his name?, it was something like Mr.Badguy"
I lol'd until the song was over. xD

FFV sucks, big time, at least the battle system worked well.

Sephiroth is nearly as two-dimensional as Kefka....

LOL, or 'KillYouAll'. Or, 'DeathMaker'. Seriously, EXDEATH?!?!?!?!?! Lame. Just plain lame.

Also, Kefka's madness needs no depth to be effective ;)

Seems like you people never paid much attention.

His actual name is Gorriz. He was born from the souls of wicked beings imprisonned in a holy tree and although he tried to make friends he was shunned because his bark like skin made him look like a monster. His one friend Gilgamesh looked after him even while he was going mad.

You people don't really like grinding games do you?

Maybe so, but still . . .

Oh, how sad, I would add him as a friend...T_T

Well, why not?

I LOL. good point,

Exdeath is an awesome villain in his own right, he has a fortress made out of bones for cryin' out loud. Sephiroth is well himself.

I think ExDeath having his own badass palace and army makes him cool to a degree.

Sephiroth I always thought lowly of, even after the first time I played through FF7. Shinra makes a better villain.

And Don Corneo. Even though he is really a weakling that prefers weak women he can take advantage of, he's got his thugs and all, feels more believable in a sense. I'm not sure how to put it into words. Cephiros comes across more as a confused, apathetic, adolescent turd, probably felt life had no purpose until he read about his origin, then all of a sudden "lolderpkilleverything."

Exdeath is the definition of a villain. Lame and easy to read. That's why he's more of a villain than Sephiroth. Sephiroth is a pshycho and I don't like him. Kefka is a cool villain with more story than Sephiroth and is more entertaining to kick the arse of. Lamest villain ever has to; Must be: Seymour Guado. ( much since ff10 doesn't have an ultimate villain I think, since it's kinda like an evil they cast upon themselves: the precepts, boooO the precepts!!!) so yea Guadosalami is the biggest fail.

... I at first Exdeath is like a team rocket. But after he gets the power of the void, he actually is one of the most evil~

His name was Exodus in some translation....

At least Sephiroth doesn't laugh like this:

YouTube - ‪[HD]Dissidia 012 Duodecim Cutscene - Kain faces Exdeath and The Manikins‬‏ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojGDex1Krs8&feature=related)

Exdeath is monotonous and pathetic.

Whoo- hoo Go Kain!

Sorry, I know that wasn't your point, but Kain ROCKS.

Oh btw, I completely agree with your sentiment. Spot on, I mean what's with the Bwaaa haaa haaa haaa? Barmy!

Cackling villains are so 90s :p

And I wish it would've remained that way. I've always thought Exdeath just sounds corny and downright lame :p

More like 1790s

Haha touch� :p

You sound like Laguna.

I've been told I'm a lot like Laguna ^^ I'm not exactly N/A Loire, ya know what I'm sayin'? . . . Omg that was the worst joke ever.

You sound like Laguna......again. How was that even possible?

My point proven ^^

That it was. You surprise me, not many individuals would admit to having similarities to Laguna. Do you by chance have a bad sense of direction, as well as a gammy leg?

Bad sense of direction, yes; gammy leg, depends :)

gammy leg, depends

I don't want to know.

At least they make him have more personality in FF Dissidia.

Stop bashing his name! You cannot even spell his name right! His name is EXODUS. EXODUS!!!
It's just some IDIOTS in SE translated him into Exdeath, because they have brain cancer.
Sorry, just had to let it out... i hate when people bash the best FF Villain...

I am to about that stuff but I think Exdeath was a parody of past FF villains.

Of course he's lame. Lamest fucking game in the series next to X. ExDeath? Really? What a joke. The whole game is a mishmash of tedium, a fugly colour palette, and horribly written characters. Pass.

How many hatred towards FFV. I loved this game the first time I played it, and I still love it so much.

And ExDeath surely is a character who provoke in myself through the game so much hatred at him, heh! And his appearance in battles in the first Dissidia is PRETTY COOL!

Ohoho, you make me laugh.
Exdeath is by his might, MOST POWERFUL VILLAIN IN SERIES. Along with Garland and Emperor Mateus and Ultimecia
Garland and Ultimecia controlled time.
Emperor killed both God and Devil, and also destroyed almost EVERY CITY in the world! And by the way, he's most favorite FF Villain for Japanese people. NOT SEPHIROTH.
Exdeath controlls Void. FREAKING VOID. A Power that can destroy ANYTHING IN UNIVERSE, just by creating a BLOODY BLACK HOLE, that can ERASE EVERYTHING. Only thing that can defeat him is Anime-ish love-and-friendship magic. If not that, he just can wipe out entire Universe.
Kefka and Sephiroth, as we say in Russia, nervously smoking in shadow.

My 2 cents of Exdeath (I did not know that he was a man imprisoned in a tree - that's right?)
he has to be pretty strong, to manipulate not just people while in prison, but also to send the benevolent ruler of worlds (the turtle) into hiding. he seems to be everywhere all at once too. he succesfully divided and then re-integrated the worlds together, so that he could swallow them up in a black hole.
If not for the 4 warriors of light, he would be victorious. They don't make the villains like they used to (though I did not know garland controlled time - that makes sense now)

He is pretty lame, on the surface, since he's so generic and cheesy, but I think he's essentially SUPPOSED to be a parody. That's the only way I can see it. In fact I think the whole plot of FFV is kind of satirical. But anyway, yeah, ExDeath is unbelievably corny, but he's saved by his awesome character design and ungodly theme song.

Exdeath is all we could have hoped for in a villain at the time.

Guys, remember- Cloud of Darkness exists.

A Villain so ethereal and shapeless...

They literally made it a cloud

Having played FF X and FF XII again, I had a hard time watching Seymour and Vayne's motivations as villains although Seymour convinced me better despite his evil plot being a weird cross between mexican telenovela and personal issues regarding his being a crossbreed of human and Guado.
Vayne just decides to declare war over what? Because the Occurian said so? Or had he nothing better to do? :p

Bad villain to compare. Sephiroth? Why not Kefka? That's a great villain, just saying...

I will admit that underestimated Exdeath but he isn't that when you compare him to other villains

X-Death would be lame, if this guy (http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Shadow_Lord) did not otherwise exist to steal the crown of 'lamest villain ever'. I mean, he had a pretty tragic backstory when it's all said and done and his boss fight was deadly when FFXI's level cap was still level 50 (not to mention it had an awesome battle theme).... but Hiromichi Tanaka had to go and saddle the poor sod with the most generic and cliched 'bad guy' name imaginable. It's like he simply grabbed a 'Stock Villain Names' pack off the shelf at random and thought "#17 is good enough". *rolls eyes*

His name is ExDeath. Like if the director of Spaceballs suddenly decided to forge a pact with Square-Enix to sully their own good name with the most so-bad-it's-good spoof of all time. Doesn't help that the game is total guff to begin with. Doesn't even support 1080p.

You might be right but ExDeath is good for the game that he is in.

I never could warm up to Seymour. He wasn't as cool as Sephiroth or as camp as Kuja. He felt like the generic androgynous anime villain who is trying to pose as a rival to the main character but is quickly superseded by larger threats. The reason why people rarely complain about ExDeath is likely that a) FFV wasn't very prominent in the west until its first translation and b) the game was one of the gameplay oriented entries (along with FF3) so people were more tolerant towards minimalistic plots and characterisations.

At least Seymour has his priorities straight. He tries to take Yuna's hand in marriage.

None of those other baddies even know how to chase skirt properly. Too busy villaining to man up.

ExDeath is a literal demonic tree, I don't think he is interested in women.

A matchup between chainsaw Ash and ExDeath? Groovy.

Only bits and pieces and only the sequel on UPN (or was it WB?) I think.

I never really found him as intimidating as Kefka
