@ ALL YOU THIRSTY DEVIANTS FOLLOWING ME

to be honest, you’re describing the reaction of the final fantasy fandom to the majority of the series’ villains (who are sociopathic villains written to be evil, unlikeable, and even if they are sympathetic, never more so than the protagonists), every year, for thirty years now, starting in 1988 with this evil boy

(who has lent his name to the mateus server in ffxiv)

and continuing on through the years, our most recent iterations being this guy

and this guy

and i fully expect to see it repeat like clockwork with every release of every new final fantasy game or spinoff game or tie-in etc etc so-on-and-so-forth until the heat death of the universe.
