Did you know that the villain in FF X (Sin) is the instantiation of Jecht, Tidus' (main character) Father.In FF XII Vayne Solidor is the ruler of the land, he is Larsa Solidor's (one of the main character) killed.I've ever made a game, that the villain is the son of one of the main character.If you could make a game, what is the relationship between the main character and the villain, so that the story will goes dramatically?

i would say something like a clone, father, brother, mother, sister, or a close friend that went missing and changed their name. something like that.

if I made a game the hero would be the villain!!! what I mean by that is that I would make the hero the villains anti-existence (an anti-existence is when the darkness in a persons heart manifests into a physical form. Although the anti-existence will look the same as the person it was born from it will a completely different person, a good example of this is dark link from legend of zelda)

I'd probably make the villain the main character's lover, where even though the villain is "evil" the main character would still be madly in love with them so there's that "your distroying the world/planet, but I still love you & want to call you 'Sugar Pie Honey Bunny' " thing going on, as rediculious as that might be.

The villian would be the hero's darkness, but the real villian is controlling the hero's darkness.

hmm i dunno.. i find it kinda hard to see a main character or villain in Tetris.. thats a game too you know...anyways id probaly make it that the villain will have no direct contact with the main character but rather he pulls the strings and have control over what happends to the main character therefore shaping his experiences and in someway who he is and in doing so making the main character closer to be the villains ally now why would the villain do that? well i dunno anything that make the main character special/uniqe and special usefull for a person with questional intentions..

a clone sounds interesting, but sometimes there really doesn;t need to be a relationship... just a good guy and a bad guy....

I agree with the above statement. In fact, that's what my game idea is. Police officer vs Criminal mastermind. No special relationship between them.

hmmm...most people are posting that it should be a clone or twin. lolbut i would hav to say that they would have to have some kind of close relationship. but not in the family.something like a close friend that was decieved or misunderstood something.but the father son does make for a good but sad ending.

Does it, though?I mean, think about how many great games in the past were hero vs villain and that's all?Mario's not Bowser's twin or brother or anything like that.Link and Ganon are tied to the triforce alone IIRC.I'm just saying that while personal relationships can be used, overdoing it makes it cliche, then you stop caring.

Hmm... what a creative topic, the relationship would be very terrible, probably like the main character once to avenge someone because of the villain I don't know I'm not very creative T.T

The main character IS the villian. Either through some split personality thing or just being a two faced liar trying to make more money. hero and villian. beautiful. but kinda wierd gameplay i would imagine.
