>>54863346It's a neat idea that's heavily undermined by lysandre himself
>lysandre's motivation is that the world is shit and needs to be remade>forms a team that's meant to survive the apocalypse and help create the new world>except lysandre isn't actually given any reason to have developed his worldview in the first place, and every bad thing that happens in the game was just done by team flare in the first place>lysandre acts like everything is exactly according to plan and no one calls him out for this blatant hypocrisythe plotline might have worked better if team flare were a completely separate entity from lysandre that reinforced his view, or at the very least if lysandre was revealed to have been unaware of team flare shitting up the region
instead the game both paints lysandre as a massive hypocrite while also trying to act like he's sympathetic in the same breath, so it just ends up messy
