*nodnod* I really felt like he got overshadowed as a villain, in the OGC -- you can rant about ruling through fear all you like, man, but you are competing for the prize against Sephiroth, okay. It's not going to go well. XD But yeah, AC did give him a lot more potential! And a more complicated role, which I always like. The ruthless bastards that I really fall for tend to be the ones who look like they're aiming for a greater goal than I HAVE ALL THE POWER AND I ROLL AROUND IN IT MUAHAHAHA -- if they're trampling orphans in the street for fun, that's boring, but if they're doing it in pursuit of a better future, well, I'm there.
*buys Tseng some more kevlar, in preparation for that day* ^^
