Thank you for that fantastic intro, Velo. Makes this so much easier.

Ramza is easily the worst hero in the series. He's the only hero who leaves the job half done. He undergoes character diminishment. I mean, let's compare him to Bartz. Bartz starts off as a wandering adventurer just having fun with his chocobo, then gets pulled into an epic plot to save the world from a crazed madman, growing up, finding friendship, etcetera.

Now look at Ramza. He starts off embroiled in a big fight for the fate of the world, then decides "Nah, I'm done", and runs off to go adventure with his chocobo, leaving that psychotic madman Delita on the throne, and leaves the corrupt church still in a huge position of power, regardless of Ultima's ultimate fate.

No other hero in the series would have been content to leave Ivalice in that condition, ruled over by a self-obsessed sociopath, with a tyrannical power base that clearly has no problems with persecuting and executing those who speak against them. Heck, that was pretty much exactly the sort of situation that served as Marche's wake up call to actually start acting heroically.
