If there was ever one thing that has bugged me about FFIX, it was the fact the game never really explains how Kuja convinced Queen Brahne to go to war with the world, including her own royal kin, and try to exploit her adoptive daughter as a weapon for her military campaign. The game always describes Brahne before her husband's death as a very kind and loving person, and while certainly the tragedy of her husband's death would certainly mess with anyone's head, I can't quite make the logic leap from loving husband's death to "world domination and driving away all my family". So do you think Kuja just had that great of a silver tongue? or do you think some good old fashioned mind control magic was going on behind the scenes? or was Kuja simply taking advantage of a woman who honestly went completely mad?
