VIII is a very good game in terms of character development, but as a whole..it's no where near as good imo as IV, VI and X.
FFVI had a great story, but I think Sephiroth was a far better villain mostly because I could never take Kefka seriously especially since he was dressed as a clown. Granted he did more in your face than Sephiroth did.
Sephiroth was more about mind games against Cloud, and the player itself. For a good part of the game you doubted what parts of the story and your character were real because of what Sephiroth said.
I found FFVI had simply way too many characters which would make it harder for players to care about each one of them.
But at least FFVI had an ending because FFVII sure as hell didn't.
