Samven's Writing Lectures

@Samven: I suppose you're right about Kuja. I had stopped playing FFIX before the final dungeon because it was suddenly difficult. Months later after a lot of Hot and Cold, and grinding; I get to the end where Kuja is I honestly thought "Wait... why were we trying to stop you again? What did you do?" He clearly wasn't a terribly good character later on (and completely lost the plot just before the end and wanted to kill everyone including himself.... right.)... so wasn't memorable enough to come back to mind when I picked the game up again.
Then again, I forgot what Garland's deal was too, so maybe it's just me.
As I have not played The Last Story, I am unfamiliar with what you speak of. I'm not sure the MC's rival/antagonist quite fits the same roll. ... in fact, as I think about it, his position in power should make him a real threat (i.e. have the party wanted by the police)... yet I find myself thinking he shouldn't realistically want to risk the world just to keep a bunch of young adults from being idolised. I'm not saying this in terms of the character I have in mind, but in terms of sensible human function. Unless some people are really that shallow.
