yea i loved the game but i really think it would of been better if Edea was the bad guy a lot of the story would of had to of been changed i wonder if it would of been better or worse?

[bwave]

I would have made the main characters die.

[chrisfffan]

Well it could be the same thing, dependent on how the mind control is used. If you use the mind control to make the user do whatever your currently doing (including speech and body movement) then the are basically identical. :P

I see that you are trying to say Edea in the first half of the game is Ulti. I understand that and accept that, but you don't even see enough of her there, because her lines are usually completely worthless and are usually comprised of something in the lines of "All SeeDs must die!"

But you remember what happened in space, when Squall's mind go to the past? He saw Edea's body collapsed in the ground, and then he saw Ultimecia's soul/mind(in the form of the first form that you fight in the final battle(her true body), but transparent). She looked at him and said something like "You don't belong to this time. Get out!" AND after this, her soul/mind litteraly entered Rinoa's body, possesing it. This is a prove that Ulti was litteraly inside of Edea. But unfortunately, this is the scene that most people forget, and because of Zemus and Golbez's relation in FFIV(simple mind controll), people think that Ultimecia and Edea's relation is the same.

I would change nothing. The game was absolutely marvelous.

Oh really? Sephiroth FFVII, you knew about him basically the entire game. Kuja was the real main villian of FFIX and you knew about him by the end of the first disc. FFXII, Spoiler: Vayne is introduced within the first couple of hours. And what about Kefka of FFVI? I rest my case.

yes really, Kuja wasn't he final villain for IX, it was Necron. Kefka, you didn't know he'd be the final villain until later. Vayne, you wouldn't know the final encounter was with him till the end. Only FF7 proved that Sephiroth was the main villain to fight in the end. Just like in FF4, you thought Golbez was the final guy to fight but it turned out to be Zeromus. So this game is no different.

Necron was indeed the final villian, but hardly the main one. Kuja did the planning, the work, and was behind everything that happened throughout FF IX, not Necron. Being the last fight does not make you the main villian. Another Example of this could be WA4, though I won't go into details there.
