I've always had a love for the villains in video games. Not particularly that I root for them to win, but there's something that draws me to them.
For my final project, I'd like to explore this and find out why the villains are getting almost as much attention as the heroes. I think part of it is due to the way characters are developed. I plan to choose a handful of Final Fantasy villains to discuss, ranging from Kefka to Sephiroth. I'd like to look at what makes them tick, as well as what change has taken place to give us reason to see them as more than an obstacle to be overcome.

It might be interesting to look into why they get the names they do.
ReplyDeleteI'm reading this as being more of a critical project than a creative one. Am I right in viewing it this way? If so, it might be helpful to bring in some research from related fields of interest (history, psychology, sociology, etc.) on how villains are represented in other media.
ReplyDeleteI'm planning for a critical project, with a possible creative part to it. The creative part will be a side piece if anything, so I'm planning for the critical part to be the actual graded work bit of it.
