10 RPG Characters We Couldn't Wait To Kill

8. Sephiroth (Final Fantasy VII)

The Witcher 3
Square Enix

Oh yeah, hands up if you saw this one coming.  

The dreaded Sephiroth will forever go down in history as one of gaming's most hated characters. As such, the vast majority of Final Fantasy VII players (both original and remake) have spent hours upon hours dreaming of ending his life.  

This FF villain is a former SOLDIER who turned into a mad sycophant hellbent on becoming a god and taking over the world. It's all pretty expected villainous motivation, but what really makes you thirst for his blood is the infamous murder he commits.  

Sephiroth killing Aerith is arguably the whole franchise's most well-known moment. Watching as he took the life of your beloved party member and the heart of the game was gut-wrenching. As soon as it happened, it sent all players on the warpath.  

Of course, unlike many entries on this list, you have to battle through a gruelling boss fight to kill this villain. But, the feeling of satisfaction after you do it is immeasurable.
