The thing is, I thought Strega from Persona 3 did the whole "insane rebellion against fate" thing way better.

Garland is absolutely wonderful as well, he fights to protect his people above all else. He's not evil, he simpley chose the lives of his people over the lives of Gaia.
Um, yes, he is evil. Choosing to commit genocide to save your people is not a good act. It may be understandable, but it is definitely evil.

And then you have Beatrix, who is a total bad ass. Like, oh dear god is she awesome.
I cannot contest this.
...But Strega wasn't rebelling against fate. They welcomed the coming of Nyx with open arms, a thing that was going to happen regardless of whether or not they were there. That's like, the exact opposite of rebelling against fate. Also, what does Persona have to do with comparing the villain groups of FF titles like, at all?

Also, the act may be evil, but I have a hard time lumping Garland himself as evil. In his hands he held the lives of all of his people, so what was he suppose to do? Decide to let them all die? It's comparable to two hunters, both with families to feed who have been without food for some time. You see some game to hunt, you know the other guy's family will die without that food, yet so will yours. Are you going to call the hunter evil for fighting for the food?
