NOTE: This list contains MAJOR Spoilers for many RPG Games. Proceed at your own risk. You have been warned.
RPG Villains...The bad guys that try to make our lives a living hell while we play. They are all motivated by different things. Those things range from revenge, insanity, or something else. However, every once in a while, one comes along that just doesn't fit the bill of RPG Villain. Today, I'm here to list 5 of them. Take note, they can be lame for ANY reason at all, whether it be because they're cheap in battle, or just look stupid. Here they are:
Number 5
Sephiroth from Final Fantasy VII

Everyone who knows me knows that I don't exactly like Final Fantasy VII, and it's main antagonist is one of the reasons why. The reason why is because he's just generally uninspired, in my opinion anyway. He's mad because his mother was killed, but rather than think things through like the sensible Hero that he's made out to be at the start, he goes insane and decides to kill everyone with a Meteor. Too generic for me. I'll stick to slaying Chrono Cross's Time Devourer, thanks. 
Number 4
Ashnard from Fire Emblem 9

That's Ashnard from Fire Emblem 9. He's such a LOSER! Yes, he is strong, but there's a major flaw to his design: He's not a monster, in the physical sense. When one plays Fire Emblem, they are expecting a big, bad, monster of some sort as the Final Boss. This guy is not a Monster. How anticlimactic.
Number 3
Mankar Camaron from Oblivion

Yet another total loser, Mankar Camaron is "essentially" the main antagonist from Oblivion. He's not strong, he's weak. He's not scary, he's generic. He's not even that evil. He's just...simple. He never even gives a truly specific reason for doing what he does, other than to be a nuisance. He's in the same category as Ashnard, not being a monster and all that.
Number 2
Thon from Shadowrun

Okay, look. I like Shadowrun. In fact, I love Shadowrun. It's one of my favorite RPGs, but I really hate it's final boss. Thon is just plain stupid. He's overpowered, and you can't even damage him. In fact, to even hurt him, you need help from a Dragon you saved earlier in the game. That's all fine and dandy, but his story is dumb as hell. He's an elemental beast whose summoner was killed, so to gain a physical body, he collects artifacts from tombs. What the hell? How is this jackass even a real threat in a society full of guns and magic?
Number 1
Neo Dhaos from Tales of Phantasia

SON! OF! A! BITCH!!! I hate Neo Dhaos so much!! This freak is the Final Boss in the Super Famicom Version of Tales of Phantasia, and he is the strongest, cheapest, ugliest son of a bitch I have ever encountered in an RPG! He is absolutely relentless in attacking, and when he does stop, if he ever does that is, he turns invincible. The spell used to harm an earlier incarnation of him becomes useless here, and you have to rely only on luck to stop the asshole. For what it's worth, his difficulty was toned down greatly in later versions of the game, but that's not enough for me to forgive the developers for placing this jerk in the game. I am being completely honest here, I had to cheat to kill him, and THAT is why this jerk is the lamest RPG Villain ever.
That's it for now. I hope you enjoyed reading this list. Also, as always, this list is an opinion. Your opinion is subject to difference.
