5 Final Fantasy heroes who make monstrous decisions

sportskeeda.com:

One thing that makes Final Fantasy heroes such interesting characters is the decisions they make over the course of the game they star in. Even the noblest of heroes have made some truly monstrous decisions, but it is important to note that this does not make them monsters or evil.

Some of these characters made the decisions they made because they felt they had no choice or that there was no other recourse to save the rest of the planet. No matter the reason, some of these heroes have truly checkered pasts. In some cases, there is redemption for the acts committed; other times, it’s the end of a game, meaning there’s no justice delivered.

The Final Fantasy franchise would not be complete without some drama and terrifying, awful acts. Most of these come from villains. For instance, Kefka obliterated the planet on little more than a whim.

But then there are characters from the same game, like Shadow. He’s a solid example of a character that does help save the planet, but that doesn’t change the fact that he made extremely poor decisions. In Shadow/Clyde Arrowny’s case, he abandoned his newborn daughter with an old man. He also left his best friend to be apprehended and executed.

It’s important to note that this is not a condemnation of the characters above. Being on this list does not make them a bad character. On the other hand, these characters have depth and were willing to take extreme measures in their lives for one reason or another. This makes them far more interesting characters than some of their counterparts.
