Blah... Why come we can't be evil in this game :/ ((Storyline wise))

I'm thinking you want the storyline to spin more towards the western archetype since it seems to be more prominent in western RPGs lately.

Since in FF games there's always been good and evil and the players are always on the side of good. Saving the world get's boring, yet even in good vs evil games there's still a greater evil you're fighting against or the outcome is generally the same.

Because only very few Western RPG really give you the choice of good and evil. Fake choice like Bioware's is not real, evil Bhaalspawn will still kills the bad guy whoever it is include his half-brother and his half-sister plus some random elf sorceror; evil Jedi/Sith Lord still kills the other evil Sith Lord and the Republic was saved; bad Shepard still kills the Reapers and save Humanity; bad Grey Warden still fights the Horde. IMO only Troika and Obsidian games really give you choices like Arcanum, Vampires the Masquerade: Bloodlines and Fallout New Vegas, you get the choice of working for whoever you like or even yourself, destroy the world or die trying.

For MMO, I think EVE give you the choice of playing evil. If scam isn't evil, I don't know what is.
