The thing is, the villain of FF:TA is complete garbage and has nothing going for it. It's just there to go "bleh" at the end and fight you, mostly. Often, people theorize that Marche, while the protagonist, is actually the villain for wanting to go home and ruin everyone's happiness of being in Ivalice despite it all being a 'dream-world'. So I am using Marche as the villain in this case. Meanwhile, Ritz, who fought hard to not go home; Is being spotlighted as the hero. 

He's probably doing both, tbh.

'Ivalice'? Is this game actually linked to the same Ivalice as FFXII, Vagrant Story, and Final Fantasy Tactics, or is it a different Ivalice? Vayne is another possible character I could've run with, which is one of the reasons why I'm curious about this detail. Either way, it makes sense why you wouldn't want to bring a villain like that -- sort of reminds me of what Cloud of Darkness was compared to Xande (the actually fleshed out antagonist).

Anyway, considering the villains in Dissidia had a 'pecking order' or hierarchy of sorts, with The Emperor being pretty much one of the top dogs, I'd imagine he'd more or less view Marche as his subordinate or worshipper, especially since he might not view you as a 'true' villain due to the aforementioned information you discussed just now.

I remembered that you planned to bring over Marche as a villain instead of a hero, but you'd already responded to me and I figured I should mention it here instead of edit. I'm not sure on [@Gohan]'s end if he has a hero/villain pairing for his first choices. On my end, you'll probably get Firion out of me, and - like I said - Cecil if possible, alongside the possible WoL I mentioned earlier.

Edit: I might have a respective hero to clash against Kefka with. While admittedly Ailyn's more suited to play Terra than I am, I could go with her or perhaps one of the other characters instead -- Sabin's the first that comes to mind, but possibly Locke. Granted, Terra would be more at Kefka's power level.
