...When was the last time Cloud or any other steriotypical angsty hero goes on murdering sprees in-game?
Last I checked, Yuri was the only one that did. Vesperia deals with a far broader, more deep range of topics than any Final Fantasy I ever played. Yuri is about as evil as you could get for a hero in a JRPG.
But again, maybe Naznatips can remind me which Final Fantasy hero murders people.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
