Honestly, I think characterisation in this game is the best in the series.  Characters have dimension and emotional range and growth.  Every villain has a motive and something to generate empathy.  Or at least pitty.  The game even made me like a Nopon, which I though was impossible.

Most of the characterization is pretty good, but I wouldn't say is the best on villians.

There are a couple of them that do get great attention to making them not seem so bad and good development, but there are also ones which motives and backstory get shoehorned at the very end of the game, like now I'm supposed to feel bad about them.

I suppose that's what I meant by pitty over empathy.  

And I meant best in the series which for villains ain't hard.  Excluding Lao and Egil, all the villains of 1 and X aren't really sympathetic.  In this game, all of them at the very least have dimension beyond just being psychotic or narcisistic or power hungry.
