SUGGESTION: option to be an evil character

But she is evil, stop laughing.

Sorry, this is Final Fantasy. We all are, now and forevermore, HEROES.

And heroes don't ever fight other heroes... except when the writers run out of ideas but they need to have Hulk and Wolverine, for example, get it on to sell more books. So they come up with an incredibly implausible Deus Ex Machina (kinda like the story that justifies Frontlines... "We're all allies, so we CAN'T fight each other, but we're going to tussle over Carteneau but pretend nothing is really happening, to preserve our friendship...") to get them going at each other.

Suck it up and drink yer milk, Buttercup!

I hear the Imperials get free dental care.

You could roleplay as an evil character. As an example in Duy Finder ^^

Considering we're butchering beastmen left, right and center, I wouldn't necessarily call us the good guys .. Also, the empire isn't necessarily evil, they just have a different idea of what's best for Eorzea.

Ascians on the other hand, pretty sure they can be classified as evil.

The beastmen do the same thing with common people.
And the empires idea about what is good for Eorzea was "let a moon fall on this"

I want to be with Gaius so bad
If Gaius is here none of this will happen.

Evil is perspective, I wouldn't mind a side who greatly differs not only in perspective but in actuality (actually blood enemies), but I think we're way too far into the game cycle for that to be even a semi-safe addition.. Yoshida would really have to be into the idea in order to take that significant risk.

Still, would be fun from a lore and experience point of view - I would like to see the Garlean city :P.

I feel such an option would completely water down the stories overall. Either you get a never ending story of bad guys vs good guys for the sake of having something to fight against or you wind up separating the player base into factions and makes duty sign ups an even bigger pain in the butt; thought DPS queues were bad? Now split that into two factions trying to get their quests done!
