Lets move on to FF6. Leo dies just to strike down the evil clown, Sabin left his country but felt bad about it. Once again, we sorta came up with some mixture of the two. Either Leo's sacrificing, Sabin's willing to do the right thing, or Edgar's need to play hero. Square got wise to us.
Lets just make the arse hole character the MAIN character.
Chainsmoking Cid, vampire Vincent, Mr. T, Red 13, and spikey-haired, silent jerk Cloud. If we borrowed one trait from each, we were messed up. All were jerks or sterotypes, or silent, or some other bad trait. We had no good to secretly let us think about. And in FF8, well.
