Kuja and Beatrix of FF9 did some very dubious things throughout FF9 and both of them were redeemed by the end of the game. In fact, Brahne can technically be included - though she actually died.

I assume Beatrix is who you are referring to though.

The mistake people make around these parts is assuming that a character or organisation is thoroughly evil and cannot possibly be redeemed in any way beyond death...when the franchise itself stands in defiance of that. Though it's possible that they simply haven't played any other Final Fantasy games, I suppose.
