Aye, the truth revealed from the Germonique Scriptures would not have changed Ramza's chosen path even if he never had read them, just as the Durai Papers will change nothing in the end. (Unless they make FFT 2, do it, blast thee. Sick of all this Advance.)
As charismatic with the peeps in his entourage as he may be, and as cognizant as Delita was of his surroundings and what goes on within, my guess is that he was merely a product of his times. He just did it better than everyone else, but it all started with the death of his sister and how from then on, coupled with questioning his own place in the world and that world's current society, he weaved ideas and plans to rectify that which would henceforth compliment his own pains and impotence, no matter how indirectly.
As would be inevitable, the more successful he got, the more he lost sight of things, or so one would percieve, if it weren't for the whole Olan business. (Also, I'm sure he truly loved Ovelia at one point.) Despite such, I'm pretty sure he was swept up in the same unseen current just as much as everyone else was.
In fact, Delita reminds me of Dycedarg greatly, what with all this crap about a better future and the methods used to secure it. In fact, Delita's means seemed even more outrageous and psychotic than Dycedarg's.
Mind you, Dycedarg started being pretty damn disappointing in the end, which might in itself compliment the fact that the true hero was Ramza, and people like his lord brother or Delita illustrate this so much, if only because, as was said, someone like Ramza doesn't actually exist in real life, which allows for people like Dyce or Delita to be suggestively debated when it comes to ''good and evil'', for how intricate their characters were. (Even when Dyce cheeses out by becoming Lucavi with a Zodiac stone. Delita wouldna done that, and I'm pretty sure he could have, had he desired as such.)
They succeed because Ramza is just so damn boring.
