You know what I want? A Final Fantasy or similar game where you are playing as a villain. That would be awesome.
I can see it now. You are the greatest swordsman ever born. You are feared and respected throughout the land. Nobody dares face your reign of terror. Except, all you really do is suddenly appear and hand out vague threats. The rest of the time you sit around, trying to sort out your Oedipus complex. Then you are suddenly killed by angsty teens and your career is over. But still fans demand your constant appearance, like baying bloodhounds. And so you are forced back into the fray. Every three-minute fanservice cameo in the latest movie or game diminishes your myth, turning you into nothing but a cheap parlour trick whipped out to con the gullible out of cash. You become a cypher. Your meaning, purpose, story and action is banished in attempts to crowbar you into anything and everything. People stop caring about the context and lap you up like cheap milk. You devolve into a shadow, a faceless nothing. A mascot. A fanservice whore.

Or are you talking about Kefka? Because that would rock.
