> the hero becomes the villian
This is.the best, but game devs are cowards and never do it

>never do it
- Diablo II: previous hero is the new demon.
- Live a Live: a particular hero you play later in the game is revealed to be the game's overarching villain.
- Tekken 1: the game's manual described Kazuya as just a guy seeking revenge on his evil dad, come Tekken 2 and Kazuya turns out to be worse.

>Not playing the best rpg on the SNES
>>378662334
It breaks the immersionYes people did actually say that
literally every blizzards character, be it playable or not
>>378662334
Blizzard does this every game:
>Kerrigan
>Arthas
>Malthael
>Aidan
>Leah
>Arthas
>Kael'Thas
>Tychus
I can keep going
Super Joe in Bionic Commando. What a son of a bitch.

You said Arthas twicenigger.
dad's the villain, kill your dad
yawn

Tales of Symphonia 2 teased Lloyd as the villain and then attempted to have its cake and eat it. The Lloyd who was evil was just some guy in disguise, but you also fought the real deal in a race against time to collect plot MacGuffins.

I meant Bolvar and Garrosh :^)

Cucked into villainy.
Dragons Dogma did it.
>>378662745
name of the game
was he really cucked?
>>378671131
LIVEAEVIL
>>378671131
Live a Live, as shown on the first post.
He got cucked too, but he really got betrayed on all fronts, so it really isn't just because a girl.
It is a great twist and your experience with the game is sorta fucked by knowing that beforehand.
>>378662334
Baten Kaitos did this if I recall correctlyOr was it just temporary ?
>>378671131
Live a Live
>>378671519
Temporary.
He later rejoins the party.
>>378667931
Just like Fallout 3~ When he wanted to give water to the wasteland and you just wanted to blow up more cities like Megaton. God, that dad was such an ass.

i have bad memory
Megaman Zero would have been the best iteration of this if they didn't cop out and just pull a "it wasn't actually him"
>>378662935
you either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain
>>378673067
>die a hero
>still become a villain
no one is save with blizzard
>>378672998
No, that would be Inafune's faggotry in order to stroke his preference for Zero even harder by having the original X turning evil and getting killed by his dear Zero, fuck that, I'm glad they didn't go with and left X legacy untouched.
it's amazing when done right, specially if he has good reasons, something like avengeance or doing something he dont want to for the greater good, or to save his sister, yeah, i love anti-heroes.

>evil
The X series is notorious for talking about "evil mavericks" who aren't really affected by any default chip or computer virus (except when Sigma literally becomes a virus) but instead just a robot that doesn't think the way we want them to think. in the original X game Sigma uses charisma and a worthy cause to get the "mavericks" to defect to his side. While I totally agree about Inafune's huge erection for Zero, the X boss would have been bitchin' if it was X doing what he felt was truly a noble cause and that some lives must be sacrificed for the greater good. I wouldn't even mind if Zero was the one to snap him out of it and bring him down from his god pedestal. Then boom! We got X and Zero in the next one.

So long as he's able to snap out of it and return somewhat to his old self I think it's pretty great.
