Final Fantasy Villains offers a deep and entertaining exploration of the most iconic (and occasionally misunderstood) antagonists across the Final Fantasy series. From Garland's princess-kidnapping debut in the original game to the chilling menace of Annabella Rosfeld in Final Fantasy XVI, this book profiles each major villain from the mainline titles, as well as a bonus chapter on Final Fantasy Tactics.

Rather than just recount their in-game actions, author Cian Maher delves into who these characters are, what drives them, and how they reflect broader human emotions. With sharp analysis, humor, and a dash of speculation, the book also reexamines characters like Ultros, Seifer, and even heroes-turned-villains like Cecil and Kain through a new lens.

Each villain’s entry includes at least one image (yes, even the suplexed phantom train!) and is paired with a witty caption. Blending serious commentary with playful insight, Final Fantasy Villains is both a celebration of the series' greatest threats and a thoughtful look at the complexities that make them unforgettable.
