playing as the bad guy
I think it would be good to have a Final fantasy game where you play the whole game as the villain, maybe not realising til the end or maybe knowing all along that you are bringing depression to the world. what do you think?

I think it'd throw for a different twist to the game and plot. I mean, you could have the case where:
A.) you are the 'bad guy' throughout the game and at the end you change your ways and become good
OR
B.) you're the 'bad guy' and at the end of the game the good guys defeat you and the ending is all celebrated by the AI with your defeat.
It's a different perspective on things, and it's definitely hard to imagine an FF coming out like that. It'd be interesting to play though.

Id love to play as the bad guy and actually complete the whole thing I was planning on doing, destroy the world? Sure, I can live with that it would certainly be interesting
Maybe it could be like an extra game mode you could unlock on completion of whatever game yu were playing as the good guy, just to like, see how things could have been

What do I think? That'd be fantastic. I'd love to play as the villain! It'd give me great pleasure to kill countless video game people and burn imaginary cities to the ground.  And then, when those stinky heros come along, then I'd be able to beat the living hell out of all of them. Oh yes, it'd be a nice stress reliever! I'm tired of playing as these goodie - goodies. But yes, on a serious note, I think it'd be great. A nice change! |

I don't think it would work, you'd get very little satisfaction from defeating the heroes and destroying the world. The mindless destruction would be fun for a while, but considering most of SE villains are boring one dimensional characters, who's motivation for destruction is either stupid, or non-existent, it would be boring.
Or as BustaMo said, the good guys win at the end, and no matter how hard you try, you can't win, that would be very pointless.
It would make a nice change, but i don't think it's practical.
It would work for pokemon though, i've always wanted to be a member of team rocket, one of those boring pokemon heroes

Would be very fun, yes. There's been a few games like that, but not enough. =(
RTSes where you play to conquer and oppress the world... muahahahaha!!!
You could say, Sgt Pepper, that the struggle between "good" and "evil" is eternal. That neither side's victory is ever complete, etc, etc. But I do agree that a game tends to be less fun if the character is one-dimensional.

It would be interesting to play a game where you play as BOTH hero and villain, like some chapters as a hero and some as a villain, you could decide who levels up the best and then watch the standoff at the end 
I have always been curious about playing as a villain, and seeing the worst outcome, just as a break from the sweet happy endings.

Playing as a villain would be a plesent change for an FF title. To be honest I thought it might be like that in FFvXIII but nooooooooo the 'dark and mysterious' character is in fact a good guy.
As for chapters, meh, not convinced. It would turn out like Folklore, it would have a great battle system, plot, graphics etc, but the chapters of the hero and villain would be generally too similar to one another but if anyone could pull it off it would most likely be SE.
I've always wanted an FF game like Fable (although it would never happen), mainly because its more free-roaming that most FF titles, where the actions of the main character determine how people react to him/her, their appearance, story ending etc.

I would really like a FF where you played as villains, rather than Heroes. I'd love to have a group of like 7 bad characters, who go around causing dismay and terror rather than helping everyone! How evil ^^

I thik it is a cool idea, but most of the final fantasy games are about defeating evil so it would be very odd trying to destoy the world. I like the idea though of not knowing till the end you were the villian. I would buy it.
