Delita (Most likely spoilers)

[eestlinc]

However, I think he was a hero from a commoner point of view, because he showed everybody that he could rise to whatever he wanted to be if he worked hard enough.

Yes, it goes to show that the best way to triumph over the oppressors is to be even more oppressive. At what price power?

[Hartigan]

He treated people how he was treated to better his life. He was always my favorite character, and I always got told off for it. I still love him.

I'd find the 'eye for an eye' line of reasoning more convincing had he limited his revenge to the people responsible for Teta's death. That would be Algus, Zalbag, and ultimately Dycedarg. But some of Delita's victims were guilty of only being in the way. Which ironically, is why Teta was killed.

The way he was treated was awful of course, but he seemed little concerned about the welfare of fellow commoners. He simply replaced one despot with another: himself.

I've heard it said several times before - Delita is a classic case of narcissistic schizophrenia.

Ok I haven't read all of this yet but I keep hearing stuff about delita getting killed and meeting some kind of demise, am I the only one who watched after the credits? Delita is alive and well and he beats up Ovelia, i'm not sure if he killed her or not...so...yeah, I just had to bring that up

[BG-57]

Ovelia stabs Delita first, after she had discovered how he had used her. He stabs her back and she slumps down, apparently dead. He's wounded but alive as he shares his final thoughts with us.

[color=darkred]The only reason I find it hard to justify Delita as a villan is that he doesn't have dark intentions, that Vormav had. Although Delita's actions may be just as bad as Vormav's (I firmly believe that Delita and Vormav are the roots of every NPC, as Vormav uses not only the Church, but also men like Dycedarg, where as Delita uses everyone to get to the top, only to kill them), I don't believe Delita is a villan. Delita had good intentions, which, by no means justifies that he used and killed many people.

Now, we'll take the scene with Balmafula as an example. Delita knew she was an assassin, and probably knew from the time he met her. However, since Delita's way of doing "business" was to use people, he used her, untill he felt she was going to end his life. Since she had then become a threat to him, he killed her. This may be dirty, and unethical, but it is effective. And, Delita was what I could consider a "Perfect Soldier." He achieved his "goal" of cleansing the nobility, and creating a world of justice and peace. This still doesn't condone his actions.

Honestly, I think all of the holes in Delita's storylines would make a very nice "sequal" to the game. Or, more like, a new game, or even movie/story, at Delita's POV, using FFT's Chapter 1 as a prologue, and starting right after the batte where Teta was killed.

Your mistaken. He didn't kill Balmafula. He stabbed her, put she lived. If you watch the ending, you see her alive with Olan.

Sorry to bump a dead thread, but I think when Delita attacked Balmafula, he pulled out her larynx or something.

Her scream when he advanced on her is like a scream that is suddenly silenced. And she never "speaks" after that.

Yah that would be a great game. I would get it for sure!!

The only problem with this is

1.He did not have a weapon in hand so there is no way he could have ripped it out.

2. Even if she loved him she would have wounded him in self defence.

But I never would have thought about that. Good thinking!;)

You may be right, but we (my friends and I) have always understood that this is what Delita did to her. Like, he did it to make sure that she didn't tell anyone about his intentions. Back in that time, literacy was a lot less common, so in order to narc him off, she'd need to speak, since she probably couldn't write.

You don't need a weapon to rip things. Your hand works quite well.

[Beoluve]

Yah your probably right now that I think about it.
