Yet this is the beauty of FFT, Delita is not someone I consider a villain. He is an idealist who gained political power through backstabbing and using people. Yet the history of the game states he was a fair and just ruler which tells me that leaving him in power was probably for the best. If Ramza tried to remove Delita, Ivalice would be plunged into another civil war and be back where it started. Its world is based on reality and thus you sometimes have to make compromises. I feel Delita was the best chose to rule Ivalice and the prologue shows that Delita suffered in his own way due to his actions.

Ramza won the battle of the soul by rising higher than Delita. Delita wanted to help the poor and downtrodden to the point he became the same as the people whom he was was trying to fight against. Yet could we not say this is how all great leaders are in the history of political power?

I feel Marche and Luso would have chose to try and stop Delita but would it be the actual right thing to do since it would only lead to more war and a new dictator? They would find themselves in a near eternal struggle of removing one dictator after another, especially since neither would have the motivation to take the throne for themselves.

The history shown in the game suggests that Ramza left Ivalice in a better state than when he started and he had to sacrifice everything and kill his own blood to accomplish it. I feel Ramza truly has more inner strength than the others cause he did what he had to do to restore peace even at the cost of his own happiness. Marche follows in the same footsteps but his situation was not as dire nor did it have the real world consequences that Ramza's had. I imagine though, that Marche can be thought of as a younger version of Ramza.

Luso, I cannot say for certain cause I have not even gotten far enough for the real plot to begin. Yet Luso does not strike me as a person who has to deal with far reaching consequences either. Though he's fun to play with.
