That cocky quote "How the mighty have fallen" to Sephiroth.. Love it ^_^ glad to see one villain who's not at all kissing up to Sephiroth, or even seem afraid of him, and Mateus's voice actor does a splendid job being a snooty aristocrat xD
Emperor...only guy in the world who dares to command Shantotto to shut up, yells at Prishe to go on him on full power, want's Gabranth as a new henchmen and ORDERS a GOD to KNEEL down before him o_O
Emperor: I'll shred all your precious flowers. Aerith: NO! PLEASE, NO! Emperor: Er.. I was talking to Firion... Aerith: Oh. Then I guess that's ok. Firion: :(
Well, he did appear in my dream for some reason one time, and the game I was playing had Sion from The Bouncer as the main protagonist, and he (The Emperor) was the main antagonist.
Emperor: (to Bartz) Run to the depths of hell. Bartz: Ooh! I haven't been there before. Point the way! Emperor: ... Wait, what? Bartz: Yeah, sounds like fun. Bet there's some neat treasure down there. Emperor: ... I didn't think people that stupid could exist.
I haven't played FFII, but the Emperor is really awesome and pretty hot, especially in the NT graphics. Love his voice, too ^^ I like how he doesn't suck up to Sephiroth either.
Emperor Mateus can fit into Kingdom Hearts universe. Some of his demons could attack all of the worlds and Sora would have fight as a secret boss battle. I thought it might be cool!
Kyle Naversen It would be, but an Emperor from literal hell would probably push that E rating. Plus the only FF's that go on there are ones that Tetsuya Nomura worked on, excluding "Setzer" from 6 and Vivi from 9
What about Squall from 8 and certain characters from 10 and 10-2 Besides, there's two facts you should consider, Kingdom Hearts is always E10+ after the first game, and Kingdom Hearts 3 is supposed to be the darkest game in the series, and will be likely to be Rated T Also, there are some Disney games that were Rated T, not counting Marvel or Star Wars, like The Incredibles and Tron: Evolution
The Emperor: There's an unfamiliar face among us. Gilgamesh: Look who's talking. At least I'm more popular than you. TURN DOWN FOR WHAT! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
You know the cult favorite FF villan in Japan Is Mateus. Sephiroth is only overratted in the Us and I belive that there is a kind of ballance in the EU.
Even though there's no official statements about the similarity between Emperor and Bowie it's totally probable that Amano may have been inspired on him for Emperor's design since he was his fan, in fact he worked together with Neil Gaiman in a sci fi comic about David Bowie called The Thin White Duke :)
Mateus is really underated villain. I thinks he´s the greatest along with Kefka.. I mean, how many other villains actually managed to destroy the whole kingdom by poisoning peoples drinking water? And this guy is the lord of both heaven and earth, but he also sold his soul for a devil himself, and became the lord of hell too. What else? He´s cold, calm, and never looses his temper, polite yet really dangerous. He should send Sephiroth to hell xP love: Mateus fan~
The Japanese seem to think that Emperor Mateus is the most popular Final Fantasy villain. He is what I call, the Lucifer of Final Fantasy. Lucifer and Emperor Mateus started out as gods but later become demons due to them being stupid enough to rule heaven with an iron fist. The Emperor normally looks like Lucifer, but looks Satan-like when he's fought as the final boss in Final Fantasy II. The truth is, The Emperor wanted to rule heaven with an iron fist, but becomes a demon as punishment for disobeying god so he ruled hell as a result.
+Timmy Menard actually... no. towards the end of the game, he splits into two. one goes to heaven and conquers it, the other goes to hell and conquers it. both wreck the places they go to. it takes a group of dead adventurers to stop him XD

So in the Dissidia universe is the Emperor the most powerful villain next to Chaos? I think it maybe Emperor and Ultimeca tied for highest rank and Kuja as the lowest
+thaneros Which is weird, considering the fact Kuja destroyed a planet and almost all of existence. Sephiroth almost destroyed a planet. Kefka wiped out most of civilization. Emperor almost conquered the world, heaven and hell. Ultimecia almost conquered all time and space and Jecht got drunk and killed a shoopuf.
Well if I remember in terms of lore this is where the villains are ranked. 1: Chaos 2: ExDeath (He existed before creation) 3: Ultimecia (Time and Space) 4: CoD (The physical manifestation of Darkness) 5: Kefka (God of all magic) 6: Kuja (Destroyed a Planet) 7 Sephieroth (The Ultimate life form) 8 Emporer (Conqueror became a demon) 9 Golbez (Possessed by a cosmic being) 10 Jecht (Is Sin) 11 Garland (A fragment of chaos) 12 Gabranth (Although a total badass he is just a loyal Judge)
If final fantasy 2 gets A remake, dude is probably gonna dethrone Sephiroth. He literally tok over heaven and hell, and if his sassy/smug personality from dissidia transfers over to a remake (where hopefully he gets more backstory and dialogue) Finaly fantasy 2 is underrated as hell.
I would actually really like to see FF2 completely remade from the ground up like 3 and 4 were. It would be a risky move because it's kind of the black sheep of the series and has every reason to be, but I think they could make a great villain out of this guy.
The whole "use skills to improve them" would work in a game with action based combat like Skyrim. If you gave FF2 the combat of FF15, it probably would translate really well. And the fact that Firion and friends can use multiple weapons just like the party in FF15.
@@yaboi2500 I think the FFVII Remake directors/producers said that they wanted to remake V or (maybe) VI next. I would like a II remake too TBH that is well paced (as opposed to being split into 3+ games like FFVII Remake).
You can't truly compare Gestahl with Mateus. Mateus is arrogant, proud and a true despot he is a tyranic SOAB who never lose his mind over stupid things like other villians do, he nevers falls into desperation and he is always "calm" at least most of the time he's very calculative and a brilliant mind whose only purpose is to control everything in the existance and he did "almost" because he controlled the earth, hell and heavens.
Ok this might be a dumb question and I'm sure somebody asked you the same thing, so sorry... But how do you exactly... Put the quotes in the battles? I bought them all in the pp catalog but I can hear them only in the museum. How do you have them in battles?
Emperor: Don't you long for a real world?
Tidus: That's a low blow man.
OUCH!!
I think Auron and Jecht hit even lower then that with some of the things they say in FFX
"How the mighty have fallen" My respect for the emperor just went up 100 points
This is the man that took over Hell and Heaven. He is thus entitled.
Yep.
That cocky quote "How the mighty have fallen" to Sephiroth.. Love it ^_^ glad to see one villain who's not at all kissing up to Sephiroth, or even seem afraid of him, and Mateus's voice actor does a splendid job being a snooty aristocrat xD
Emperor is one of the classiest FF villains ever...

after all he basically ruled earth. heaven and hell
Better than having the villains kiss up to shanttoto.

the chad emperor of both heaven and hell: here comes the fucking sun!!
You know you're a bad-ass villain when you have an invisibe throne show up when you need it.
Mateus has some guts to told a god to kneel before him
His whole character is that he desires to rule even gods, so yeah that's him alright.
I mean, he conquered Hell and Heaven.
The Emperor: "All the world needs is Terror(Tera)
Terra: Thank you! *-*
Lol

If you’ve played the original one in 2008, he says “A taste of hell may be just what you need.”

A good reason to reboot FF2 someday...Mateus could be greater with some extra writting.
The Emperor and ExDeath have become some of my favourite villains as I've gotten older.
I haven't played FFII, but the Emperor is really awesome and pretty hot, especially in the NT graphics. Love his voice, too ^^ I like how he doesn't suck up to Sephiroth either.
He doesn't suck up to anyone, it's not exclusive to Sephiroth. His entire gimmick is not to suck up to anyone because he is to rule over everyone.
Final Fantasy 2 is pretty cool, played the psp remaster, it was my first FF. Still love this snobby emperor
I have to agree with you, especially with the hot part, and the Sephiroth part
Mateus: Your legs are trembling.
Squall: No, they're not-
Mateus: -Yes they are!
"All the world needs, is Terra"...
Well, yeah.

You already have a character called Lucifer and Maleficent using the power of Hell.
And given that Emperor Mateus is a fan favourite in Japan, why not throw 'em a(nother) bone. And us. He's such an underrated villain.
What about Squall from 8 and certain characters from 10 and 10-2
Besides, there's two facts you should consider, Kingdom Hearts is always E10+ after the first game, and Kingdom Hearts 3 is supposed to be the darkest game in the series, and will be likely to be Rated T

why does everyone speak of Sephiroth being overrated

Never thought that The Emperor's voice actor was the one who voiced as Yoshiaki Mogami from Sengoku Basara: Samurai Heroes.
Or the great King Kittan in TTGL.
+Evelyn L. or John Baccus in Mirai Nikki or Riser Pheonix in Highschool DxD
If anyone is fit to rule Hell, it is David Bowie.
I love Mateus like you do! He's tied for number 2 with Golbez, whom I constantly play as just to make two legendary antagonists fight in Dissidia!
Whenever there is no empty seat in the bus or train, I imagine Emperor sitting on his invisible chair. Damn, I wish I could do that too.
1:27 dude's so powerful he's been playing trendy games before they even existed

Don't say it don't think it

I think Mateus expressed basically EVERYONE'S feeling about exdeath.
emperor mateus is my favorite villain in all of the final fantasy franchise he's so strong and powerful yet mysterious and dark
Emperor Mateus is like Frieza .
I love the way he says "bravado".

Completly agree. He's pretty much satan a/o lucyfer of the FF titles. That's why I think FF2 had one of the darkest stories in the whole series.
Emperor meeting Terra: Looks like you need a new Emperor in this land.
*Notices in the description "King dominatrix"*
Do you even know what "Dominatrix" means? I made that mistake once. Oh how naive I was.
And he calculated his death in order to do so...
So... Best villain in Final Fantasy? Best villain in Final Fantasy.
To the Emperor:
You can rule...dees nuts ha got eem
Well a jester gets paid to be humiliated, no? (Kinda.)
And honestly, being kept in a cage by.. THAT.. would be pretty damn humiliating.
Now that's the bad guy we love to hate!
"I suppose you think yourself as thunderous?" Oh Empreror... you are so smart... you sonnovab****, thats why I love to play as him.
