The question is, could the Fabula Nova Chrystallis concept include a game/story driven by the antagonists and succedding in their quest, and would SE actually consider such a story if they continuing a more mature stance after Crystal Chronicles and FF-X2?

For me personally, yes. SE should do something like that, to balance both stories and goals. Though inevitably one of those would overcome the other. Plus, SE could benefit from trying different story elements in a game rather than trying new gameplay features, and might actually achieve something that's never been done in games before. However it could actually be a waste of an experience to find out after a series of games all your efforts were in vain.

Ever since I can remember I was always the one who preferred the antagonists over the protagonists. They have always been more appealing to me. I really hope this theory of yours becomes reality; it would definately raise the bar for the anticipated titles and the different story perspectives would be great.

that would be super sweet if you got to play as a bad guy... i always wanted to play as one like in FFX i wanted to play as jecht (even tho jecht wasnt really bad).

Apparently, despite all of the games being set in the same universe, none have a direct link to each other at all, just a common back drop concerning Crystals. The games themselfs are being developed seperatly from one another.

i wouldn't really like it if it were like that, i prefer if it were 2 completely different stories, cause if you beat one before the other then you would already know what was going to happen in the one you play second.
