Edea wasn't a villain. In disc 1 and 2, Ultimecia was Edea in "disguise". She was using Edea's body as a shell, to move, talk, and fight.

For example, Ultimecia's first words in FFVIII were:
"...Poor, poor boy..."
"Such a confused little boy. Are you going to step forward? Retreat? You have to decide."

This was Ultimecia(inside Edea's body) talking with Seifer, in Timber.

Ultimecia was there all the time. This is why Edea(the true one) said that Ultimecia was possessing her BODY. But you didn't pay attention to that.
I think what he meant was that he would have preferred Ultimecia to be written out of the story completely and for Edea's villainous persona to be her actual character, rather then Ultimecia speaking through her.
exactly. I know Ultimecia was controlling Edea but you found that out in CD3 so if they stopped at CD2 and kept Edea as the default antagonist with her wussy knight, it would be much better imo (especially since people always complain about how late in the game ultimecia was introduced)

besides, that part of the story was really big to miss so there's no way that i could finish the game 5 times and still not pay attention to that =p
