I like how this character was written. He is probably my favorite in any jrpg ever.

First of all, he was basically absent for the first half of the game. And then they set him up perfectly. He enters in his mech and you never see his face until later. Bit for bit, you learn more about him.

He then gets the label as a supervillian which everyone wants to hate.

But the plot twist at the end is so damn satiesfying. It turns out that Egil has been fighting the good fight the whole time and ends up as a tragic hero.

I like unexpected twists like this, and what made XBC1 so good. The voice acting is also 100% on point.

I just finished this game for the first time last week. Great game. Surprising parallels to Xenogears in terms of characters and themes.

The story beats and revelations are great in this game.

Is that a....ball...of water?

The Mechonis were great adversaries, like robots but men eating evil

Totally agree with you OP. Egil was remarkable character development.

Ending was another twist but it left a bit of a bad taste. Not everything has to copy matrix.
