So is Shantotto evil?

Didnt play 11 and only a little in Dissidia. She seems evilish.

From what I have read, no.
She's just has that evil/sarcastic personality
and uses her powers for good stuff I think...She could easily be a bad guy...but well...she just doesn't want to.
Doesn't see a reason to be 'evil' so basically if she did, she would lol. She is one strong mothertaru and wouldn't
hesitate to DESTROY YOU!!111!

Maybe someone else can chime in, but this is what I remember and I never played 11 but read some of her info, just played some of Dissidia

Not evil. She's just extremely confident and arrogant. She's powerful, and she knows it.

I would put her alignment between chaotic good and lawful good. She will blow things up for what she might think is the greater good. She can be unpredictable and her powers are legendary in the realm of vana'diel. She is a proverbial living god amongst black mages.

I would counter with Chaotic Neutral. She does whatever she wants, whenever she wants. One story line, she curses someone for spying on her. Another, she's forming diplomatic relations with an entire empire on behalf of her home nation...and blows up the puppets of the Empress in the process.

She is sarcastic and sadistic, and in FFXIV, she's portrayed as messing with the Void, which she was known to do in FFXI, too. Just doing whatever she wanted, whenever she wanted and never stopped because she was powerful and knew it.

She actually Flares you if you decline one of her quests. Forget which one. I laughed really, really damn hard.

Let me ask you this, is a Great White Shark evil?, is A Tyrannosauruses Rex evil? Is any Apex Predator, Evil? Because that is what Shantotto is, Don't be fooled by her minuscule size or her adorable curls. She is powerful, stupidly powerful, and she suffers no fools.

I remember that spying/curse quest, lol.

Definitely my favorite character from ff11. She and ajido bring back many fond memories.

World's most powerful melee black mage with chainspell and manafont.

Her tier one magic is more powerful then your tier five magic, she is whatever she wants to be at that moment. 'nuff said.
