The Far Cry series is considered by many to be Ubisoft's best franchise, with each game in the series delivering excellent combat and a great story full of amazing performances. With the shaping of Far Cry 6, more and more people are eagerly awaiting the next chapter in this series - an entry that is bound to refine the formula present in previous games.
Each game in the series since Far Cry 3 has featured a stellar antagonist and some interesting side characters that end up delivering brilliant performances across the board. Far Cry 5 is no exception to this rule, with the following quotes showing the effect of the game's strong script and excellent voice acting.
Updated on July 13, 2022 by Ritwik Mitra: Far Cry is a series full to the brim with memorable and iconic villains, and Far Cry 5 is no exception to this golden rule. The members of the Seed family are absolutely psychotic and a blast to hunt down, with each character having memorable and iconic dialogues of their own. Here are some of the best quotes that these villains have to offer in Far Cry 5.
15 Weakness, Jacob Seed
"You Did It. You Passed Your Test. But Now, You’re All Alone. You’re Weak. And We Know What Happens To The Weak." — Jacob Seed
Jacob Seed is a tough character who believes in the rule of the strong and the culling of the weak. It's a horrible notion to have, and his quotes portray him as a vile character time and time again.
That being said, there's no denying that Jacob Seed is extremely charismatic. Even after knowing how heinous he is, players can't help but adore this character for his unique persona.
14 The World, Joseph Seed
"Communities Being Torn Apart, Walls Being Erected. Because Leaders Are Too Impotent To Act. Bullies Are Too Addled To Lead Righteously. I Can See That, You Can See It." — Joseph Seed
Joseph Seed is the de facto leader of the family and the primary antagonist of the game. Players need to take out all the other members of the family before facing off against this heinous villain.
His god complex is easy to see in all his appearances. Joseph Seed might have a personality that attracts and charms people, but he's the last person who should be leading a sizeable group of people... especially since he'll just lead them to their doom.
13 John's Eulogy, Joseph Seed
"John Was Not Perfect And Sometimes, He Was Not Even Good. But He Was My Brother. And Those Responsible For His Death Will Be Punished. I Promise You That." — Joseph Seed
After killing each member of the Seed family, Joseph will appear and mourn his family in a pretty riveting cutscene. His farewell to John is especially chilling, making it clear to the player that this maniac will be coming for their head soon enough.
It's lines like these that cement Joseph Seed as a brilliant and engaging villain. The buildup to facing him is incredible, especially with the bombastic ending of Far Cry 5.
12 Violence, Faith Seed
"If Violence Is the Only Language You Choose To Speak, Then I’ll Speak Your Language." — Faith Seed
Faith Seed is a rather obtuse villain who uses her stock of Bliss to keep her subordinates under her control. She uses these Bliss-fueled moments to try and manipulate the player as well.
However, after failing to brainwash the protagonist time and time again, Faith decides to finally use violence to kill them off. Of course, this doesn't work, and she's finally taken care of after a string of Bliss-induced hallucinations.
11 The Weak, Jacob Seed
"The Weak Have Their Purpose. You’ll Understand That Soon Enough." — Jacob Seed
Jacob Seed makes another appearance on this list. Fittingly enough, this quote also talks about how the weak are inferior to the strong — a schtick that is either still fascinating or completely boring by the time the player hears it.
It's easy to see why killing Jacob is the most satisfying of the lot. His ideologies are pretty half-baked and the content involving him just isn't as creative as the other antagonists in Far Cry 5.
10 A True Story, Faith Seed
"I Know You've Heard Stories About Me. That I'm A Liar. A Manipulator. That I Poison People's Minds. Well, Let Me Tell You A Different Story. A True Story." — Faith Seed
Far Cry 5 went above and beyond with its antagonists by adding four fleshed-out characters whose performances are a joy to behold. While the side characters suffer as a result, there's no denying that the act of hunting down each member of the Seed family is enjoyable in its own right.
Most people consider Faith to be one of the better Seed siblings. Her psychedelic levels coupled with a personality that is quite manipulative makes for a unique character whose lines are almost truly hypnotic.
9 Forgotten Strength, Jacob Seed
"We Have Forgotten What It Is To Be Strong." — Jacob Seed
The hardened warrior Jacob Seed personifies strength and dominance. His mentality can be seen in several of his lines, such as this one.
Jacob is saddened by how weak the world has become and wants to remind people what it means to be strong. However, the manner in which he tries to achieve his goals is quite suspect and not so sought.
8 Beyond Salvation, Joseph Seed

"Despite All That You Have Done, You Are Not Beyond Salvation. You're Not Here By Accident Or Chance." — Joseph Seed
Joseph Seed is the head honcho of the Seed family and the last member that the player needs to defeat. His performances are quite a treat to witness and make for one of the biggest highlights in the game.
The preachy nature of his character can get somewhat irritating though, and the player will definitely want to unleash a torrent of bullets after hearing some of his more condescending lines. This particular one is a great example.
7 Say Yes, John Seed
"I've Spent My Entire Life, Looking For Things To Say 'Yes' To." — John Seed
John Seed is one of the creepier antagonists in the game. His past is a traumatic one, and the manner in which it has shaped his character is quite harrowing.
The emphasis he puts on the word "Yes" is extremely eerie. Indoctrination is no joke, and players can easily breathe a sigh of relief after finishing off this character once and for all.
6 Do Not Fear, Faith Seed
"The Collapse Is Upon Us, And The Reaping Has Begun... But There Is Nothing To Fear." — Faith Seed
The delusional nature of the Faith siblings is quite apparent during their ramblings. This dialogue is a great example of the same.
The fact that Faith doesn't care about the supposed end of the world is a testament to just how damaged her mind really is. Unfortunately, she's too far gone to be saved, and the player must take care of her to put an end to her psychedelic hurdles.
5 The Herd, Jacob Seed
"I Cull The Herd. It's What I Do." — Jacob Seed
Jacob believes in the survival of the fittest. However, the way he tries to achieve the same is a tad too extreme.
Jacob believes in killing off the weak and only letting the strong survive, which is quite barbaric. It's easy to see why he needs to be put down for the count.
4 Watch The World Burn, Joseph Seed
"John Was Wrong. Your Sin Is Not Wrath. See, You'd Rather Let The World Suffer And Burn Than Swallow Your Pride." — Joseph Seed
Just before fighting Joseph Seed, he'll drop this line in a bid to rattle the player one last time. However, by the end of the game, players will be dead set on putting an end to the crimes of the Seed family once and for all.
John's death was just a precursor to the real fight against Joseph Seed. In this final confrontation, there's no going back - unless the player wants to accept Joseph's offer before the fight, that is.
3 The Path Is Clear, Faith Seed
"The Path To Eden Is Clear To Those Who Have Faith." — Faith Seed
This line from Faith shows a nice play on words that further reveals her twisted personality. Her plan to use Bliss and recruit an army is quite inhumane.
The fact that her drug can stop a supposed end of the world that they themselves planned is downright bonkers. Saving Hope County from this maniac is certainly high on the priority list for most players.
2 Only Two Paths, John Seed
"There Are Only Two Paths Left: Salvation And Death." — John Seed
John Seed tends to look at most situations from a black and white perspective, ignoring the wealth of grey areas that lie in between. This leads to an extreme and destructive idealogy that places the entirety of Hope Country into a state of terror.
The player must defeat this madman to put an end to his horrible reign as a self-proclaimed savior of the masses. It's a necessary act to prevent such twisted ideologies from polluting the landscape.
1 God Won't Let You, Joseph Seed
"I Told You That God Wouldn't Let You Take Me." — Joseph Seed
Joseph considers himself to be a God amongst men. It's no wonder why he considers himself to be the man who'll unite the entire world — lofty ambitions that are fueled by hatred and misinformation.
Defeating him takes a hefty toll on the player, and even then, he still manages to win in the form of a deadly nuclear blast that ravages the entire countryside and turns Hope County into a wasteland.
