Some of my favorite video games are the ones that turn the tables and turn you into the villain in some way. This isn't to be edgy, but it does give a nuance to the story and themes if it's done right. It can be done in several ways, which often boil down to characters not knowing the true motivations of the cause they're fighting for, or characters who begin a descent into evil. Occasionally, you'll get an amnesiac villain plot.
JRPGs love to interrogate motivations and perspectives, and so there are quite a few of these stories in this genre. PS4 in particular was an era with several of these stories, all with rich character motivation and player choice.
The Tales games are some of the most popular JRPGs, and Tales of Berseria stands out from its peers thanks to its themes and turn the protagonist takes. You play as Velvet Crowe, who seeks revenge and, in doing so, becomes increasingly violent and a threat to civilization.
Velvet is a fascinating character who is genuinely a terrible person in a lot of ways, and taking on that role is an interesting experience, especially when you understand the reasons behind her actions, even if you don't believe she's justified. The heroic forces in Berseria end up with their own skeletons in the closet, which casts Velvet in a more sympathetic light, but in no way excuses her actions.
13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim redefines itself several times over the course of the game, to the point where nothing could happen without me questioning it. Each new revelation changed previous events, and actions that once seemed heroic tend to become less so.
Like all media that involves giant robots, Aegis Rim is all about deconstructing the meaning of conflict. Defeating kaiju and saving the world is what draws you in, but that often turns out to be a trap that keeps you engaged in a story that makes you question everything. As Aegis Rim reiterates events and forces you to change your viewpoint on what is happening, your actions take on different implications.
One of the highlights of the PS4 was the Final Fantasy VII Remake, which marked the beginning of a new era for Final Fantasy with a new trilogy based on one of the most popular JRPGs of all time. Cloud and his friends are some of the most iconic JRPG characters, and while FFVII's story was iconic, FFVII's Remake changed enough to make it stand on its own.
