Kuja was the perfect villain of FFIX, a direct opposite of Zidane and Vivi, two people who accepted their bizarre origin and their sad destiny, and more than that he could be villanous AND human without being "he was right/doing it for the right reasons" sympathetic. Once memento mori hit, he rebelled against his destiny by bringing down the world with him. He never cared about Terra, he cared about fulfilling Garland's wishes until he found out he was being used and destined to die. He was pissed off and desperate he was dying. I find it interesting that two people can walk away with such different interpretations of the same character.ĭriven insane is an overstatement and undervalue of Kuja's arc. I do agree, though, that the flashback scene was cool.Īlso, I appreciate your perspective even though we disagree on this. The game is better if Edea is acting of her own volition. Her introduction takes away so much from the story without adding anything to replace that voice. We don't get a satisfying background story like we do Edea and we don't get any motivation beyond being power hungry. Now it's just some woman being evil and on a power trip just for the sake of it. All of these lessons are done away with with the introduction of Ultemecia. Adel furthers this by showing that Edea isn't a one off fluke, but that this is a pattern repeated in history. It makes Squall's decision to stay by her side all the more wreckless. Because of Edea we understand just what a sorceress is capable of and that your previous character has no bearing on what you can become. It makes the scene where Rinoa becomes a sorceress all the more impactful because from the example of Edea we understand just what's at stake. It shows how a sorceress is easily corrupted, even a woman as great as Matron can turn into something so evil as Edea without proper guidance. We don't understand her motivation, but this doesn't weaken the plot because it illustrates the weakness of a sorceress and makes sorceress as an entity out to be the villain. I've already said this once, but Edea is interesting because she goes from loving wife and orphanage mother to cold calculating killer slowly taking over one of the greatest world powers of the time. She is possessing Edea during that portion of the game, yes, but it actively makes it a worse game for it and weakens Edea as a villain as a result.
